Summary
‘Oh, no,’ he thinks to himself, staring blankly at the unfamiliar reflection in the mirror. ‘I could have at least been someone relevant to the plot, like Gojo or Sukuna. Instead I’m a background character.’
Recognition sinks him further into despair, when it finally creeps in and he puts a name to his own face.
‘Oh, no. I’m the sexist.’
———
An attempt at a SI-fic with a character not quite lucky enough to be given easy access to the main cast. Sporting a fresh case of “amnesia” and a disgustingly overpowered cursed technique to balance out his ineptitude, the casual fan who’s replaced Naoya Zen’in has enough on his plate without having to muddle through clan politics and the social repercussions of incarnating as such an utter bastard. It’s going to be really hard to save the world and not die when he’s barely involved in the original plot … and when he never even finished the damn manga.
Maybe he’s only half-lying when he says he doesn’t remember anything.

Summary
She never expected much when it came to dying. Maybe a shallow grave at the least, a tabloid headline at most. But instead, she woke up.
“Congratulations, Haruno-san,” came a voice, distant and muffled, as though she were hearing it underwater. “It’s a girl.”
Or, in which a woman who just wanted to die in peace wakes up in a body meant for something else entirely.

Summary
The dining table is just ahead–long, polished wood, and recently cleared of any utensils and tableware. The surface now holds only the stark remains of salvage–a partial torso, the left forearm, a collection of fingers (of which Argenti has yet to sort through and identify), and a tangle of wires and plating.
Argenti reaches the table and slowly lowers the wrapped bungle near the edge. He pauses for a moment, then unfurls the sheet with a gentle hand.
Inside: the right leg, charred but mostly intact. And, cradled in a bundle of blankets–Boothill’s head.

Haruno Takeru aspires to have an easy, simple life—it’s a pity that no one else seems interested in letting it happen.

Summary
A few streets away from the temple (derelict since the regime change), cramped between buildings old enough to predate his grandfather, there was a shopfront with Apothecary writ on the sign in faded paint. The pharmacist in residence: a nominal shinobi, inactive duty, and a local curiosity for the simple fact of having survived so long. Kisame might have gone on ignoring that curiosity, if personal circumstance hadn’t shifted enough to make poison a necessity.

Kakashi has pawned off to Kisame: a clan heir, the Kyuubi jinchuuriki, and some other kid. No wonder Kakashi didn't want them. This feels like a punishment.
(Hoshigaki Kisame defects to Konoha and gets saddled with Team 7. This is not anyone's idea of a good plan.)

Summary
He was eating curses. One, after another, after another, after another, after another, like there was no end to them, like this was some kind of nightmarish buffet with no cost, no limit, his hands fumbled messily and he felt his palm mash against his teeth, sometimes a spare dripping or tendril would lash acidly against his cheek or burn a line down his chin, and still he kept eating and eating and eating, nauseous with the grease of swallowed blood, and it took him a long time, too long, to realize this was not some terrible dream, or an exaggerated memory, or even hell. He was simply still alive.
(Suguru, trapped in his own body.)

Summary
“You’re trespassing.”
The unfamiliar voice is dull, lifeless. It still startles the hell out of Dabi, the fire-user nearly jumping out of his skin.
He turns and sees a figure sitting under the tree, barely three feet away from himself. For a moment, Dabi thinks he’s seeing a ghost. His fists are clenched in preparation to burn blue flames, to fight and make a hasty exit. His eyes adjust to his moonlit surroundings and his breath hitches in his throat.
Dual colored hair.
Shoto.

Dabi runs into Shoto before the start of the school year. Shoto manages to shatter all his preconceived notions.

“A large coffee, two milk, and a medium green tea, please.” Kaz said into the microphone. Warmth spread through Inej at the sound of her order, and she had to stifle a laugh at Nina’s outrage in the backseat at her ignored request.
The barista on the intercom droned, “So a venti coffee with milk and a grande green tea?”
“And a venti mocha!” Nina shouted from the back, reaching across Matthias to stab at the window. It went down an inch before Kaz flipped the switch to lock it. “Yes, that’s all.”

Summary
She spins to press her shoulders to his and grins, as bloodthirsty as she wants.
“Two trips in one year? I must really be special, huh?” He teases, and she’s surprised to find he hasn’t changed at all from her last visit.
“I’ve figured out how to do it on purpose,” She admits, fully expecting the distraction to cost him. It doesn’t. He jerks his head to look at her, but even that is planned in the split second it takes him; a fist goes sailing over his head by the scantest of margins.
He doesn’t look concerned at all.
His confidence is thrilling.
