    Summary

    He finds the package waiting for him when he opens the window, the jar of sake sitting innocently on the sill. It's expensive stuff, that much is obvious even at a glance, the jar made of a glossy, almost jade-like porcelain, its top sealed and closed with wax. It sits in the small puddle of water, and no wonder, if it was outside on the windowsill in the storm all night. What's more odd is the note on top, a neat square of parchment with a few sloppy characters inked on it.

    Thank you, it reads.

    A chill runs down Kisuke's spine, gut dropping with a sudden weight. He thought he'd been doing well here, thought he'd been managing to juggle the elders and the rest of the Onmitsukidō well enough to stay out of trouble - walking that sweet spot between just Rukongai enough to be beneath notice and just skilled enough to be worth tolerating, but this, this means that he's overshot. For someone to actively try and kill him by leaving him poisoned sake, it means Kisuke must have seriously miscalculated somewhere.

    It doesn't matter what the mistake was, if someone wants to kill him Kisuke needs to figure out who, and quick.

    Summary

    “I just wish…”

    “What do you wish?”

    “I wish I could have changed it all.”

    For years Bilbo has written about his adventures and told stories about his dealings with dwarves and dragons. To most it seemed like fanciful nonsense but to Bilbo it was all very real. A weight followed him home from his travels, one called regret. Now in his final moments Bilbo has a choice to make – go quietly into death’s embrace or go back again and face all the fear and pain for the chance to make things right?

    Of course, change is a fickle thing and not everything can be done again as Bilbo is about to find out. In the end, it may not only be salvation that he’s fighting for.

    Summary

    Sometimes the hardest battle isn’t enough to change a heart, sometimes all the war and blood in the world isn’t enough to shift a single destiny.
    Sometimes a simple touch is enough to break down the strongest of barriers, sometimes a single word is enough to make the world quake.
    Sometimes the most reaching of changes comes in the form of a little boy sad enough, strong enough, and kind enough to make friends with a monster.
    Sometimes one change makes waves.

     

    Naruto has been hearing the rumbling growl in the back of his head for as long as he can remember. He’s seven when he tries to talk to it for the first time. He’s the dead last, the failure at everything, so he doesn’t actually expect to succeed.
    And when he’s suddenly standing, knee deep in murky water and face to face with a demon, he has no idea what to expect.
    As it turns out, the world could use something unexpected. 

    In which Naruto discovers the real meaning of the word monster, Sasuke discovers power and strength and learns the difference between them, and Sakura discovers that being herself is not as selfish as she thought.
    Where Kakashi learns to fight again for what he loves, and Obito never stopped.

    Summary

    Given a choice between Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, Tony is pretty sure most worlds would choose him to search for a misplaced Winter Soldier. After all: look at what Rogers did to their own for his Bucky's sake.

    What he fails to account for is the wormhole's destination, which happens to be the middle of WWII. It's a nightmare come to life... for the Winter Soldier as well as Tony Stark.
    --
    Tony's life doesn't flash before his eyes or anything like that. He's almost died too many times to still have that nonsense going on. He has a split second to think: well, of course, and also, fuck, I promised Barnes I'd get him home. Of course it would happen like this. Ever since Rogers walked into his life, Tony has been destined to be killed by him because of Barnes.

    The shield is almost instantly caught in a metal hand. The Soldier twists all of Sergeant Barnes on the axis of his shoulder, landing him roughly on the floor face down, and slices the shield down. It ricochets off the cement floor and sticks to the roof of the hangar with the eerie sound of shearing metal.
