    Summary

    Objectively speaking, there are worse people to be reincarnated as. Ultimately unimportant side character, socially acceptable Quirk, winner of the genetic lottery, only mildly deranged.

    Honestly, ignoring the fact that he looks increasingly like a fuckboy douche, he's handling this like a champ.

    Summary

    Takayanagi Kyoichiro swears he's not suicidal, he's simply a suicide enthusiast. He can admit, however, that suicide via carbon-monoxide poisoning might have been more pleasant than getting flattened by a 600-pound truck.

    Ah, well, he's here anyway, he might as well enjoy the happy retirement life he didn't get to have before.

    Unfortunately, he has landed right in the middle of wartime, and there are homicidal ninja coming in for his advice. Just because he was a high school counselor and teacher who knew how to deal with emotionally unstable teenagers doesn't mean he actually enjoys the job, so please go away, thank you.

    TLDR; A former assassin-turned-ethics-teacher reincarnates into a world of ninjas and decides to enjoy retirement. However, these trigger-happy ninja won't leave him alone...

    Summary

    Jack was a normal, albeit self-important, young businessman. Up until he wasn't.

    Problem A: He woke up in the body of the unfathomably handsome teenage boy residing in T.M. Riddle's diary.

    Problem B: This apparently meant that he was somehow transported into the world of Harry Potter, a property of which he hardly knew anything about.

    Light at the End of the Tunnel A: He managed to attain a physical body.

    Problem C: Everyone and their mother was of the belief that he was Voldemort's son, and therefore destined to kill them all. Harry Potter himself seemed unshakably sure of the notion that Jack was out to kill him.

    Problem—well, maybe he ought to leave some of the alphabet for everybody else.

    Summary

    Oxford Languages defines briar as “any of a number of prickly scrambling shrubs, especially the sweetbrier and other wild roses.”

    ***

    Briar Theodore Evans was born the 30th of January 1960, 8:32 pm. A whole 6 minutes before Lily Jane Evans, who followed at precisely 8:38 pm. This wasn’t how it was supposed to happen. At least, it’s not how Briar remembered it happening when he read the books. Not that there was much he could remember about Harry Potter’s parents anymore. It had been years and they were such a small part. . .

    Or

    Briar may’ve come preloaded with the memories of a 23 year old—who once held a close to encyclopedic knowledge of the Harry Potter Series—but that does little to actually help him become powerful enough to fight Voldemort. He’s only capable of so much while stuck with a child’s brain and forced to grow up in 1960s & 70s Cokeworth England. Not to mention his less than ideal socio-political positions in, not just one, but two new worlds.

    Struggling to gain enough power and knowledge to save Lily, Briar fights to reach his only life goal.

    If only other people would stop distracting him. . .
