    Summary

    "Basically, there are two major scenarios to consider." Rui lifted up a single finger. "Is the switch physical? Meaning, are you left in your own body, but have changed positions in life? Or is it your soul - that is to say, the core memories and experiences that define you - swapping places with the other?"

    "Wow, you really thought about it that deeply, huh," Tsukasa muttered to himself.

    "We can answer both versions, then! So, Rui-kun, who would you spiritually switch places with?"

    Rui finally paused in his thought process. Truth be told, the type of switch didn't quite matter to him, nor did the many nuances he had considered. In the end, he had a single, unchanging answer.

    -

    or,
    middle school rui and present day rui swap places for a day

    Summary

    Subaru has died time and time again. Except this time was a particularly bad one.

    Bad enough where he can’t pull himself together.

    Bad enough that the Great Spirit Beatrice needs to step in.

     

    Okay, so if it wasn’t obvious this is a Re:Zero fanfic! I’ve loved Re:Zero for a really long time and I honestly don’t know what the fic sphere is like in this fandom, but I need to scratch an itch so I'm writing this. I got inspired by what’s going on in season 4, but I don’t plan for this fic to have season 4 spoilers. But there will be spoilers for season 1, 2, and 3 (up to arc 5)! So be warned!
    And just heads up, the context behind this is a made up scenario. This did NOT canonically happen in Re:Zero, although I wouldn’t be surprised if Tappei cooked up something like this someday

    Summary

    After the Shie Hassaikai's involvement at Kamino Ward, things have changed drastic ways. All for One is dead, and someone must fill the void he left behind. While people scramble to grab power in the vacuum, something is brewing where most heroes do not tread: heroes are working with yakuza, the yakuza are making moves unheard of since the rise of All Might, and ahead, the enemy known as the Hero Public Safety Commission awaits them both.

    The Caretaker of the Shie Hassaikai will certainly have a lot he must care for in the days to come.

    [sequel to "more than you hoped to be"!]

    Summary

    “Taking care of somebody else made me feel good. Like discovering you’re more than you thought you were. More even than you hoped to be.” - Bette Greene

    In another world, Chisaki Kai is a ruthless, cruel man who stops at nothing to rid the world of quirks. In this one, however, he draws lines: one being Eri. He cares for her, treats her like his own daughter. And for his precious daughter, he needs somebody to help care for her, somebody who isn’t one of the Eight Bullets or a member of the Yakuza.

    Enter one Midoriya Izuku: quirkless, protective, and the perfect candidate to be her babysitter. Now if only Chisaki could just stop worrying about the boy, too, that would be great. (No, Chronostasis, he does not have ‘paternal instincts,’ thank you very much!)

    Or: Midoriya Izuku (accidentally) turns the Yakuza into the good morally grey guys.

    Summary

    After hearing about how Asta summoned a super cool demon-like power to fight after he had gone to the Witches's Forest, Luck really, really, really wants to fight him!

    But Asta doesn't know how he awakened that power! So, Luck, being the good senpai that he is, resolves to experiment until he finds a way to make Asta use the demon!

    His experiment goes wrong. Extremely wrong.

    ~~~~~

    Alternatively:

    “Oh, there you are!” Luck cheerfully grinned. “So, so! Did you find a way to tap into that demon stuff of yours?!”

    “No, no, I didn’t,” Asta assured calmly. “Is that what you were trying to get me to do?”

    What.

    The collective, single thought of the entire Black Bulls barring Asta was one of complete confusion. Something was off in the force there, that was for sure. A few of them put their hands on their chins, deep in thought as they attempted to figure out what had happened.

    And all at once, they realized what was so bizarre.

    Asta assured calmly. He didn’t jump up in mock offense, he didn’t belt out his annoyance, he didn’t seem at all frustrated. And most of all, he was quiet. Asta. Quiet. Those words…they just seemed so wrong to think about together.

    Summary

    The basic concept for this AU is that, while Asta does get his grimoire as in canon, he doesn't get into the magic knights because Yami gets food poisoning the night before the exam and spends the day at home.

    He doesn't want to return to Hage right away, though, so he winds up spending some more time in the capital, doing odd jobs using his physical strength... and by chance, Owen happens to notice him using his quasi-supernatural life advice abilities on other civilians. There are never enough trained therapists, since it's generally considered a boring speciality, so Owen offers him a job as an apprentice recovery mage in the royal capital's hospital.

    It's not the same as being a magic knight at all, but the main driver behind Asta's dreams has always been helping people, so he decides he might as well give it a shot!

    (Also featuring Asta being almost magically lovable, and Liebe trying his darnedest to protect the kid he's decided is his baby brother despite very possibly being older.)

    Summary

    After the recently returned Vice-Captain Nacht Faust takes a devastating injury or two in the Forest of Witches, Finral brings him to someone who might be able to help: Asta, the one and only wielder of anti-magic and now a junior recovery mage at the Royal Capital General Hospital. It's too bad none of them accounted for the fact that, after spending the better part of a decade skulking in the shadows as a spy in Spade, Nacht hasn't quite readjusted to certain social conventions just yet...

    Summary

    When Finral asks them to come to his therapy appointment in the capital with him, neither Magna nor Noelle much sees the point - he's a grown man and this isn't even his first time going, so can't he visit the doctor on his own? But Captain Yami bodily tosses the both of them through the portal, so here they are in a hospital waiting room now, awkwardly tiptoeing around each other like they have been for months.

    Meanwhile, while it seems that the Clover Kingdom is experiencing a tranquil moment as a whole, it might just be that some magic knights are about to run into hidden threats lurking along their way...

    Summary

    Weeks away from graduating to the rank of junior recovery mage, Asta is brought on to one of the most difficult cases in the hospital, and encounters some of the hidden darkness that lurks beneath the shiny veneer of Clover's high society. Stuck in a situation where his anti-magic largely can't help him, he'll have to surpass his limits to save his patient - and maybe he'll make a friend or two along the way.

    Summary

    In which Asta never became a magic knight, but that doesn't mean nobody at the exam saw his potential. As an apprentice recovery mage during the worst destruction wrought over Clover's royal capital in centuries, naturally he's still out there saving lives... and just might run into a familiar face or two along the way.
