Summary
Mikoto Uchiha is killed by her eldest son. Then, she is reborn as the Kamado's eldest daughter. In one moment, she was staring straight ahead while her son cried quietly.

Oh, husband. If only that were true.
Mikoto Kamado is born on a perfectly normal day.

Summary
Before leaving the village with Jiraiya to train, Naruto remembers being Jason Todd.
This changes quite a few things.
(ft. Elemental Nations worldbuilding, Jiraiya forced to be a good godparent and teacher, and Jason Todd throwing a wrench in every bad guy's plans. Three years of training done right instead of whatever bullshit canon did.)

Summary
Aya Fukikoshi will do anything for her nephew, Izuku Midoriya. Including, but not limited to, helping him with his new quirk All Might gave him, raising him in place of his neglectful mother, and even taking up a job position at UA as their Quirk Counselor.
A few things she was not prepared for that she isn't mad about, is her nephew being ultra powerful, a bear-rat-principle that is smarter than anyone she has ever met, and the teacher that she desperately wants to take on a date.

Summary
They always knew that their lives would be short and would end gruesomely. They all ignored the question, 'who will be the last one?'
Well, Damian drew the short stick it seems. It was him, Jason, and Cass for a while. Then him and Jason. Then just him. The youngest brother, baby bat, Robin. He would say he went out honorably, fighting to his last breath against a foe he couldn't even remember anymore, and ready to see his family again. But he died alone in a dirty Gotham alleyway, and was met not with his family, but with a whole new world.
Damian Al-Ghul Wayne was the last one of the family alive. His life as Todoroki Shouto was just beginning. Gods, why did he have to be the youngest brother again?

Summary
After the Rumbling ends and his friends are hailed as heroes, Eren Yeager dies, but the realm of the Paths still has a hold over him.
He wakes up in the rain, displaced in time.
When he finds a scarred Levi Ackerman, who remembers nothing of his worst, whose last memory was a close encounter with an explosion of a thunder spear set off by Zeke Yeager, Eren realizes that he’s granted a second chance.
[Former Summary]: Eren willingly walked the path of destruction. He was living on borrowed time, it didn't matter whether he died today or next year, he'd still die. But as the realm of the Paths trembled in its destruction, Ymir lends the last vestiges of her power to give him another chance to change the past. In exchange for giving her freedom back. What he didn't expect was to find himself in the past with an injured Levi.

Summary
There was another Uchiha in Konoha - one the clan never claimed and history never recorded.
Survived in the ashes of the Second Shinobi War, raised in the shadows of the third, Minai becomes the Hokage’s silent weapon, and later the guardian of two boys who should have never needed saving. Hidden behind a new name, she builds a life meant to go unnoticed - until the past refused to stay buried.
Some ghosts stay buried in silence.
Some stories are left untold.
And some are found by a jonin with mismatched eyes that sees too much.- Language:
