    Summary

    Shisui wakes up in a forest.

    This is concerning, since he wasn't supposed to wake up at all. Other concerning news includes an eye-stealing village elder still lurking in the shadows of Konoha, and a clan compound that has not been scrubbed enough to hide old blood, ghosts, and bones. Long-term survival seems to lie on the other end of insurmountable odds. Shisui does the math. He counts out his luck like it's made of pocket change and realizes that he has roughly a week before Danzo manages to kill him again. That's only seven days to fix everything.

    It's time to speedrun a fix-it.

    (I will be updating this fic with real time pacing. If Shisui is awake and stumbling his way through an attempt at fixing the nonsense he was an accidental catalyst for, a daily chapter will be posted. This will continue until he succeeds or fails through November)

    Summary

    If you must fix something, you must start at the root of the problem. Except they already tried that and the Root was not very receptive to the idea. So... start before the problem even existed??

    Except Team Ro didn't plan to come back to the past. They didn't have any concrete idea of what to fix. Most of them don't even think they have the jurisdiction to make such changes.
    But now, in the Warring States Period, they must do something. Because if everything they do has an effect anyway, might as well go down swinging.

    Summary

    Within the Shinigami’s stomach is hell; this much is known even to mere mortals.

    Those who are doomed to reside there are said to be condemned to agony, to be pitted against their victims for all time, or until some enterprising soul bearing agendas unknown saw fit to wear the Shinigami’s Mask and free them. A task that first requires knowledge of any of these forbidden topics beyond fear and rumors.

    Knowing this intellectually offered not even the slightest buffer to the reality.

    The reality was so much more.

    Summary

    There are so many phrases and words used in the ASOIAF universe that we would not intuitively use in everyday life. It's hard to keep track! So I decided to start making this "Instead of this - say this" guide for avoiding anachronisms. Comment below any phrases/replacements that YOU'VE noticed!

    Note: Vocabulary used in the final two seasons of Game of Thrones does not count as canon/era-appropriate language... you know why.

    Summary


    Arya was annoying and boyish and an embarrassment half the time, and Sansa had twice confessed in the sept that she wished she had a different sister, someone sweet and trusting and girlish, but seeing her alive now, Sansa had never loved her more.
