    Summary

    Tsutako Tomioka and Sabito Tenko are spirits, but their afterlives couldn’t be more different. Tsutako is a reikon, content and at rest, while Sabito is a restless yūrei, lingering with unfinished business. Fate, however, has returned them both to haunt Giyuu Tomioka, the emotionally closed-off Water Hashira. The catch? Giyuu doesn’t notice. He’s too busy with demon-slaying to realize his two dearly departed companions are right behind him, offering unsolicited advice, muttering sarcastic remarks, and making passive-aggressive comments as though they’re his invisible roommates.

    Meanwhile, the other demon slayers can see Tsutako and Sabito, who bicker and hover around Giyuu like it’s normal. Naturally, they start speculating about Giyuu’s strange behavior, slowly uncovering the mysteries of his past. To Giyuu, life goes on unchanged—he slays demons, broods, and wonders why people keep giving him funny looks. Unaware of his ghostly companions’ interference, Giyuu’s world is anything but ordinary, though he’ll never know it until it’s too late.

    Summary

    "Because I was so sure I couldn’t fulfill your romantic ideals, Oosawa-san. So a long time ago, I made a wish, and I guess just for tonight, that wish came true."

     

    Mitsuki negotiates a pact with the deity of trickery in exchange for one night in the body of a boy, so she can be the Oniisan Aya’s always wanted.

    The guy she was interested in… was a guy after all, but at what cost?

    Summary

    The Kanabo is a large, two-handed melee weapon from feudal Japan, resembling a spiked or studded club....

    However, in Modern Day Japanese Context in this world of Quirks, The Kanabo is the symbol of rebellion and anarchy (if you're a fucking bigoted dictator towards anybody that isn't Neruotypical) or the symbol of hope and heroics for THE AUTISTIC COMMUNITY IN JAPAN........

    See here's the thing, Autism and Quirks are bizarre to say the least........

    Autistic Quirks have Four Power Branches with 8 Nodes per branch (32 nodes total).......

    Autistic Quirks are SENTIENT BEYOND IT'S INSTINCTS and can actually SPEAK TO THE HUMAN WELDER OR EVEN OTHER PEOPLE THROUGH THEIR HUMAN WELDER'S TONGUE.........

    Quirked Autistic People are seen as ELDRITCH ABOMINATIONS by most modern day Japanese people....

    One Heroine rose up wearing a black jacket with the symbol of The Kanabo and The Autistic Rainbow Infinity Symbol on the back......

    This Heroine is called A SUPERVILLAINNESS by The Japanese Government...

    Summary

    Jujutsu society is stunned when it’s discovered that there are books written that tell the tale of sorcerers; they contain details so minuscule and specific that it cannot be counted as a coincidence. It causes enough unrest within the ranks that every available force is put into who is behind ‘Prometheus’ and why they know details that no one else does.

    Meanwhile, you are a university student, young, sleep-deprived, and most importantly, a person who keeps to herself. In the wake of the release of your newest bestselling novel, you’re no stranger to the increased attempts to find out your true identity.

    Although this time, it feels different. By the time the semester starts, you’re noticing increasingly strange encounters that could be dismissed as pure coincidences - if it weren’t for the rising fear that you’re being watched.

    Summary

    What if, instead of being taken in by Master Eiji, Mizu had been found by Fowler's men while living on the streets of Kohama? A child he already knew, whose parents he was very familiar with, who he could mold to his own desires... a useful tool against the Shogunate.

    It's all very practical. Abijah never wanted to be a father, but he could play the part, if that's what'll get him what he wants. He knows how to use peoples' needs to his advantage.

    That is, until Mizu almost dies in a training accident, and he realizes that he's in deeper than he ever intended to get.

    Summary

    The line between being too careful and not being careful enough is a line you only get to cross once.
    —Grady Hendrix, The Final Girl Support Group (2021)

    Most people who lived in Hawkins, Indiana would say that nothing bad ever happened in their little town. Those people were either full of shit or basking in the bliss of their own ignorance.

    For Avery Watanabe, Hawkins had never been anything but a slumbering monster. Teetering on the verge of waking and swallowing her whole.

    In which a twelve-year-old girl also goes missing in November of 1983, and an anxious psychometrist must fight monsters to bring her sister home.

    Summary

    Alice, an asocial and crafty young woman who attended the magic school Umbra Academy in the Kingdom of Elbrastion, began to notice something strange happening: people are getting downright furious over the most tiny and insignificant things. No one actually really knows why, but people are extremely antsy and it's worsening with every passing day. A mystical force known as Depravity—a darkness created by the negative emotions of living beings—is to blame for the behavior of people, and it is threatening the peace and safety of the 8 nations of the planet, Fairylyl. Alice and her future companions, the Ephemerals, are legendary warriors who are destined to save the universe by restoring the balance of light and darkness and bringing order to the scattered worlds that are under siege by the dark forces.

    The Dark Fable is an animanga-inspired fantasy, sci-fi, action, and adventure series that brings together a rich, immersive world and a diverse cast of unique characters. With its complex themes and intricate plotlines, it's a story that offers something for everyone.

    Summary

    This Fanfiction is me rewriting LWA. I mean nothing against Yoh Yoshinari. Even after many years, he made an amazing series that still stands as my favorite anime. I am simply adding to a story he made and tailoring it to my personal taste and what I think could have made the series better. Some of these include more mature themes (NO LEMON) such as action, drama, blood, disturbing scenes/imagery, death, romance, suggestive moments, and cursing. Some changes are based on the Terio Teri, Keisuke Sato, and Tsukiyo no Okan manga. Again, I am not doing this because I believe I could have written the series better. This is all for my enjoyment. This is my first Fanfiction.

    ***THIS IS ORIGINALLY POSTED ON WATTPAD

    Here is the link to the Wattpad: https://www.wattpad.com/story/349782158-little-witch-academia-rewrite

    The name is different on Wattpad because that's the original name, but I didn't want to change it as it holds true to what this fic is. But I think 'Kitsuden' adds more character to the story, so I will call the fic on Ao3 'Kitsuden'.

    I know this isn't the best, I am just new to using ao3, and hopefully I get better at using this overtime. Please be patient with me. Happy reading!

    Summary

    Monumental. The word that everyone keeps using to describe this place— those two. Priests and martyrs alike, preening to witness the very thing— the very spectacle teased for centuries and millennia. And to think, a water-locked nation, so usually prone to keeping to themselves, wants not a piece but rather the whole pie. And they'll get it. Kouka cooperative or not, they'll get it. War willing, they'll get it. After all, to them, battle is just another pastime.

    The pie, the cycle, born as siblings at last. He haunted by the past, and she fearful of the future, must face this horrendous stain on their skin. For everyone wants it but them it seems. Well... masks can't conceal for long, and besides, dragons are nosy. Greedy as well.

    Summary

    “Skizz, something’s wrong.”

    “I know, buddy, but I can’t help if I can’t see you.”

    There was a quiet whine and then Impulse appeared from around the corner. Skizz pressed his mouth in a thin line, staring at the new features on his best friend. There are some tiny horns protruding from his forehead, turning from Impulse’s skin color to black at the tip and fangs were poking from his lips. Most jarringly, Impulse’s normal, brown, human eyes had gone pitch black. There were tiny little pinpricks of yellow in the middle. “Hmm. You’re not Impulse.”

     

    Or, a ghost hunt goes a little wrong, and Impulse gets a new friend in his body for a while.

    Or, or, I wrote something new to sprinkle in between my fantasy AU fics.
