Summary
Seven years after the Kyuubi attack, the Sandaime Hokage’s sudden assassination threw Konoha into chaos, and at the end of the night, two factions arose in its shinobi forces: those who stayed and those who ran. Of those who ran, many were shinobi that the new administration denounced as traitors, deserters, and murderers.
Two years later, a ragged group of children who vanished the night of the Sandaime's assassination, who would have been raised in relative peace but instead grew up running, were recruited to fight a war for the homes they barely remembered.
In which Kakashi is forced to the forefront of yet another war, Itachi is given to maudlin internal monologues, Shisui alternates between coping and dissociating, and Zabuza wonders why he couldn’t have left the honor to the fucking samurai.

Summary
"We're really sorry," his father says, in a teary-eyed, wobbly way. "But your friend, Izuku, he's... He's gone, son."
Katsuki can do nothing but blink up at them for moments that feel like an eternity, eyes darting between both his parents in obvious confusion, disbelief, and, more than anything, indignation.
"What the fuck are you two talking about? The damn nerd is standing right beside you!"During a battle, Midoriya gets hit by a villain whose quirk detaches his soul from his body. Stuck in a ghost-like state, the boy enters a race against time in order to save himself from permanently dying. Much to his luck - or lack of it -, the only person who can see and talk to him in this state is no one other than Kacchan.
Alternatively: Deku and Kacchan are soulbound.

Summary
This is a rationalist and effective altruist take on the Last Herald-Mage trilogy, inspired by HPMOR, r!Animorphs: The Reckoning, and other works. From a starting point of "what if the characters were trying to be reasonable?" and "what if Leareth was a human being with real, complex motivations, rather than a cartoon villain?" I am seeing where it goes.
Meta note: this fic is accessible regardless of whether you’ve read canon. It starts out a little slow, and book 1 is kind of a different genre from book 2 onward. Additional warning that book 2 onward gets pretty dark and this doesn't really let up. There will be 11 volumes.
Major themes include the complexity of thinking about ethics, the challenge of taking on problems in the world that seem insurmountable, and trying to do good while dealing with serious mental health issues. The characters do not start out masters of rationality, but they do learn from their mistakes and grow as people, and do their best to help support each other.

Teeth, tongues, and thrones—this is a series of stories where Yuji Itadori finds himself caught in the jaws of a god. Whether it's obsession, manipulation, devotion, or something stranger still, Sukuna’s claim is absolute.

Summary
8 years post war
Katsuki is dropping in the hero rankings—but no one knows why. He’s been building something: a suit for a rival who gave up the fight.
When the gift doesn't work as plan, Katsuki is stripped of the power that had defined him all his life. After finally doing a good thing, he's left with nothing but a bitter reality—left to grapple with resentment, guilt, and being quirkless.
However, Izuku now has a second chance at being a hero after nearly losing all hope of such a future. Weilding his friend's quirk like a borrowed heartbeat, being back in action feels good. But he knows what it cost—and who paid the price.
Two broken halves almost unrecognizable to each other—stitched together by rivalry, grief, and something neither of them can name—forced to learn what it means to live without the power they thought made them whole. The process letting them truly begin to see each other in a new light after living the other's reality.
This is the fallout.
This is the rebuild.
This is a story about switched power, fractured identity, and what it means to keep choosing each other, even when everything’s changed.-

Summary
You had always prided yourself on your discipline and dedication. After all, getting into Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu University wasn’t easy, and staying here was even harder.
You had dreams of becoming one of the strongest, most influential sorcerers, of making a difference in a world where curses ran rampant. But there was one thing standing in your way—or rather, one person.
Gojo Satoru.
It was impossible to walk through the university's hallowed halls without hearing his name whispered in awe. The “Strongest,” they called him. With his blinding white hair and those ridiculous sunglasses he never took off, Gojo commanded attention without even trying. And the arrogant son of a bitch knew it.
Everyone loved him—professors, students, even the old sorcerers who occasionally dropped by to lecture.
You didn’t understand his appeal.You could barely stand him or his ever-present shadow, Getō Suguru.
And they knew it.

Summary
If someone had asked 13 year old Haruno Sakura what she wanted to do with her life, she would have said something along the lines of “marry Sasuke-kun and have his babies!” and certainly not “befriend an infamous psychopath and make Sasuke-kun hate my guts!”
Alas, no one ever asked her.
Busy trying to be a decent sensei, Kakashi unwittingly gets involved in a plot that spans from the deceased fourth Hokage to Danzo himself… and completely misses the slow yet pervasive changes happening to his female student. Not until it’s too late, anyway. (He always is.)
Starts off cracky, gets serious

Summary
These people are ANBU, the best of the best, the elite of the elite, and yet, none of them know how to apply a band-aid correctly.
Amaya sighs, turns towards the skies and prays.
A crash sounds behind her, and Weasel tugs on her lab coat, burnt fish juice splattered all over his hands. "Crow dared Tiger to drink the rubbing alcohol and he passed out," he says politely, pointing behind her to a laughing, curly-haired ANBU who was acting a lot like a five-year old and not a twenty-three year old.
Weasel looks up at her with all of the innocence he can muster, an empty bottle of isopropyl poking out of his back pocket.
"What the hell," Amaya mutters.
