The Reorganization Efforts of Central Command's Records Room by boredom
Fandoms: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood & Manga, Fullmetal Alchemist - All Media Types, Fullmetal Alchemist (Anime 2003)

Summary
Edward Elric has to be the unluckiest human alive. After saving the lives of hundreds of people (not that Mustang is going to focus on that), his arm and leg are completely destroyed. With his parts on back order for four weeks and no work for him in East City, Mustang has no choice but to send him to the most boring assignment on the planet: joining the effort to reorganize Central Command's Records Room.
It's supposed to be an easy, simple, boring four weeks. But this is Edward Elric we're talking about. Of course he's going to stumble into some trouble. He'll just have to figure out a way to deal with the problem while down two limbs and away from Mustang and the rest of the team.

So suspenseful! Loved both Ed and Mustang characterization throughout. I don't think I've seen other stories that actually take Ed's automail away for so long. I think the closest is that one episode in the 2003 anime, but the kid who stole his leg gave it back pretty quick.

Summary
Ling had traced the Vulpecula constellation with an elegant finger and told Ed he’d been born under the autumn constellation. That his mother said he was destined to grow up plagued by hardships and strife but would find fortune and love under the same stars.
He said he was born in the year of the ‘little fox’, and Ed had laughed, told him it was fitting.
Ling had taken Ed’s hand and together pointed towards the horizon, drawing an erratic path between stars that Ed hadn’t recognized. Told him he was born in the year of the dung beetle because he was a little shit. Emphasis on the ‘little’.
“Wouldn’t we be the same animal?” Ed had asked. “We’re the same age.” And Ling smiled, the soft one that never failed to make Ed’s knees go weak, and admitted that technically Ed was older by a scant thirteen months, but it hadn’t been worth mentioning because Western ages are rather primitive and unimaginative and they lack soul and ingenuity and Ed had cut him off with a fistful of grass to the face, the night dissolving into the carefree laughter that Ed has only ever been able to attribute to Ling.

Summary
Edward is still stranded in the wrong Amestris. He’s surrounded by people he knew and would rather take off than put up with them all, but the Elric-Mustang-Rockbell alliance is persistent if nothing else.
He goes along with it. Begrudgingly.
Maybe one Elric wasn’t enough to break the laws of space and time, but three? Who knows.Or:
03 Ed grabs the world by the ankles and shakes while familiar faces beat it with a broom until answers start falling out. It’s the Capra sequel. Buckle up.

Summary
Slave number Twenty Three didn't know what to make of his new Master. The strange boy was nothing like other slave owners. Short on both height and temper, yet strangely kind to him, Master Ed seemed to know something about him that he didn't himself. Just what was it?
(The story where time-traveling to fix the past doesn't work quite as Edward Elric intended, and lost family bonds are reclaimed. Van Hohenheim and Xerxes-centric.)

Summary
There’s a woman in Konoha who picks up Kakashi like he’s a stray dog on the street, and she loves him with snipping and sniping.
She shouldn’t be there, but she is, and the world is both better and not better, different, but the same.
She takes his heart, and bleeds it, wraps it tight in butcher’s paper, and sets it in the ice box so it won’t rot.

Summary
He’s seen many different cultural approaches to childcare. Amestris’ is rather stagnant, comparatively. Xing believed in gentle movement for infants, and built all sorts of wood cradles and hammocks for rocking their young. Ishvalans kept infants on their backs for most of their early years, tied and swaddled in place with cloth, and shielded from biting sand.
Xerxes, well...
Here, and now, Amestrians believe that a baby should be kept indoors for its first few months–to protect their health, and their developing systems.
Hohenheim knows just enough about childhood development to question this, but not enough to truly challenge it. Time had proved him wrong before, science and understanding crawling away from him as he spent years turning over other stones. It was as if the world moved rapidly every time he blinked, blurring past him without notice.
-
Or: Hohenheim gets stuck taking care of his infant son by himself. He thinks about old Xerxian traditions. Ed spends most of the day screaming.

Summary
Bakugou Katsuki died fighting the demon king, with Izuku’s name on his lips, taking his dream with him, and that should’ve been the end. Alas, fate had other plans, because he’s back, still blond, and inherited another helping of hot headedness from his new mom as one Uzumaki Naruto.
This new world is weird, but just close enough to home to reignite the dream he thought died with his old name. Konoha better brace itself, because he’ll either become the Hokage, or turn the village into a crater trying!

It’s ridiculous, really. That a mere training accident would lead to all of this, but Sasuke’s life has been a series of unfortunate events since the massacre.
But here, worlds away from his home, he finds a boy who is too much like him and too much like Naruto. The blond idiot would never forgive him if he didn’t at least try to help.
Besides, it’s not like sasuke is getting home any time soon anyways.

Lungs Overflowing With Funeral Flowers by DesdemonaKaylose

Summary
On the morning that he found out he was in love, Kakashi woke up to the sunshine pouring in through his window, ambled into the bathroom, and hacked up a single red chrysanthemum into the sink. He stared at it for a long time. He knew what it meant, obviously. There was only one reason why a man who hadn’t previously eaten a floral arrangement could be spitting out whole flowers.
After all he's been through, Kakashi certainly isn't going to let a little thing like a chakra disorder kill him. Obviously, he's going to confess his love and get cured. Easy. Now... he just has to figure out who to confess it to.

THIS IS THE BEST HANAHAKI STORY OF ALL TIME
seriously. It just all works together so well, from the fact that the disease fits in the worldbuilding to the way the characters think about it in a cultural/practical/medical way To the way Kakashi addresses the problem like a mission. And that we're acknowledging the tragedy and romance of the concept but also that love is valuable in all its forms.
And really I can only imagine Kakshii going around telling people that he loves them if he's Literally Dying. I love how the confessions were all genuine. And that the reason it took him so long to get to Gai was because he was genuinely so emotionally numb that he wasn't sure who it was. And then out of consideration for Gai's feelings.

One of the other boys at the orphanage remembers just enough of a past life to see Naruto as a cute kid in need of looking after. Growing up with a brother figure watching his back, Naruto isn't a desperate, love-starved, illiterate weapon ready-made for authority to wield. Some people in Konoha aren't very happy about that...
Others, though... well, it might just save their lives.

“Bull, you’re guarding Itachi. You two are to run if things get bad.”
“But it won’t get bad, right, boss?” Urushi barks, a smug smile appearing on his canine lips. Around him his ninkin all buzz with energy.
Giving them an eye smile, Kakashi nods and hopes none of them scent the lie. A band of mercenaries, Kakashi could maybe take on. But Zetsu on top of that…

Or, Kakashi's continuous Bad Luck™ of having his run of the mill C-rank missions turn into A-rank.

Summary
This is a story about a hero. There’s a pattern to these sorts of things: a tragic backstory, a lonely childhood. Weak in power, always competing with a rival, but unbelievably kind at heart. They have willpower beyond measure, and the dedication required to chase after their dreams no matter what stands in their way. And the dream– that’s the most important part, after all. The shining goal they have that they’d do anything to achieve, reshaping the world along the way.
Our hero fulfills all the criteria. He’s steadfast, and loyal, and never says no to a plea for help. He’s not powerful; last in class, looked down upon, black sheep of the family. He doesn’t let it stop him. He has a dream too. To prove himself to his teammates, to prove himself to the world. He’ll stop at nothing to be the strongest, with a just heart and a burning optimism for the world he longs to create.
He’s a hero. A hero.
…Right?
–
Or, the hero of our story is no longer simply Midoriya Izuku, but instead, a reincarnated Uchiha Obito. The world rearranges itself accordingly.

Summary
For as long as she can remember, Eri has always known there is something wrong with her. She's afraid of lightning, for one. When it storms outside, she tries to sleep, and in her sleep, the lightning follows her. In her dreams, there is no thunder to accompany it, but instead the screaming of one thousand chirping birds as a bright flash gets closer and closer. There’s the wind in her hair and rain on her face and a pounding force in her head. She feels like she’s being unmade. She feels like she’s drowning and burning up all at once, like she’s going to burst apart into a million little pieces…
Or, Eri is actually Nohara Rin, and the beginning of her second life is unfortunately not much better than the end of her first.

"Taicho… weird chakra warning?" Bat says.
Hawk tries not to sigh. "On a scale of… Land of Snow to Land of Mist, how weird?"
"That's not really a scale, taicho," she says reproachingly, "and even if it were, I think we'd disagree over which is more severe. But probably more like Land of Snow? Maybe… avoid using earth flow? And if anyone finds any strange seals, intricate carvings or weird rocks… well. Don't touch it?"
"You heard her," Hawk says. "Let's find Mukade and get out of Roran before anything goes wrong."

Generally speaking, one does not personally meet the King of Hell after death unless one has fucked up tremendously in life.
Someone becomes no one becomes a prince in the Land of Wind. Tensei of Sunagakure has a hit list, a god of the underworld breathing down his neck, and plenty of time to figure things out while he tries to make this house a home. Hopefully.
(Averages 2.5k words per chapter. Includes original art! Underwent some heavy editing to add extra content in January 2026 for chapters 16, 18, 19, 23, 29, 30, 36, 37, 39, 49, 51, 55, 60, 61, and 75.)
