Science Fiction or Fantasy? - Could Captain America REALLY Survive Being Frozen in Ice? by ArgentNoelle

Summary
Not any kind of fic, just reference material for the main plots points in the show, when/how characters meet each other, facts we learn about them on the way i.e. the things I wish I could remember when I want to set a fic in a particular point. It won’t necessarily describe the whole plot of each episode, it’s more about a reference for the season/series arch story lines. I’ll also try and list the main Trouble/Troubled person for each episode.
It’s supposed to be objective [with notes and the more subjective stuff in brackets], but inevitably I’ll miss things. I haven't checked the spelling of everyone's name and I can't guarantee all the quotes are word-for-word accurate. Also apologies for the often dodgy punctuation. But I think I will find it useful and if you do too then feel free to make use of it any way you like.Also, if you're looking for specific dialogue, there are transcripts at: https://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/episode_scripts.php?tv-show=haven

A collection of screenshots and description for Padmé's apartment, gathered from the movies, TCW, and Queen's Shadow. I made it for a fic I'm writing, but it could be useful as art reference, or just interesting on its own. I promise, I snark about early 00s set design only a little bit!

Summary
This is mainly for me to use as reference whenever I write as Kacchan, but feel free to use this if you're struggling to come up with nicknames for your own fics. I'll probably update this whenever I think of new ones, find really good ones from other fics or Kacchan makes new ones in canon.
April 2022 Update: Now includes the past OFA Users (or what I like to call them the Council of Bestiages).
December 2023 Update: Now includes All Might & more nicknames for AFO. -

Summary
It's droll and tacky of me to inflict yet another 'Naruto has a twin' story upon an unsuspecting world, but I did it anyway. Clearly, I'm an uncontrollable monster, and no one should pay any attention to me.
This ninja business? It isn't for the faint of heart. Luckily Aiko is far from faint, even if she did get stuck with a ridiculously girly name.
Definitely an OC story. A SI story depending on your definition-- her knowledge of Naruto as well as other modern things matches mine when I started the story, so I had some sort of basis for her advantages instead of doing research to give her things that would be convenient. (a la, Sure she's a chemist! Why not? She was a martial artist too, and she can build a better camera. There's none of that.). You won't ever see references to her first life: no name, family, or death. Of course, that lack of background comes with its own problems.
This is largely the same version as what is on fanfiction.net, with the exception of materials from about chapter 70 or so on that start arcs that are noncompliant with their guidelines or lead up to those situations.
