    Summary

    A thorough guide to beta reading for both authors and beta readers. Neither exhaustive nor definitive, but hopefully a good starting point that covers the basics and explains how to get the most out of an author-beta reader relationship.

    Summary

    When Rocinante suddenly wakes up after being shot by his brother, he doesn't have time to sit on his hands and think about logic or fate. He needs to find Law and save both of them from the wrath of Doflamingo.

    Some weird surprises are awaiting him, however.

    Summary

    “You’re going to get a bounty,” he says quietly, sinking deeper into Rosinante’s coat now that he doesn’t have to fight the tiller anymore. Rosinante slings the pack with their day to day belongings over his shoulder.

    “I might,” Rosinante agrees, leaning down and scooping up the whole dark mass into his arms. He tucks Law against his neck and carefully watches his step as he disembarks. “But I had the best reason, and it paid off, yeah? It’s not a big deal.” Law squirms, trying to push up and look at him, but Rosinante presses him down, hiding him as he starts off along the dock towards shore.

    “But then Doflami-” Law starts, quieter than before.

    “Don’t worry about Doffy,” Rosinante says, firm but gentle. “I doubt he even knows I’m alive-”

    “But if you get a bounty-” Law protests, his skin cool against Rosinante’s neck. He squeezes Law, feeling the boy’s chest heave with a nervous sigh against his palm.

     

    Rosinante survives Minion Island, but it's hardly smooth sailing from there. Getting the Op Op Fruit to Law is merely the first step. Now, Rosinante finds himself navigating between pirates and marines. And Law himself. Really, he's just doing the best he can.

    Summary

    Arthur dies, but it isn’t over: the Sidhe offer him an opportunity to make it right again. Since he’s in the lake of Avalon, he cannot be fully declared dead, it’s like he’s floating between the gates of life and death. But Death has touched him, it’s not in their power to send him back to life. They can, though, send him back in time, to the other time he has been touched by Death. From the bite of the Questing beast. Arthur accepts the offer, and he wakes up in his bed, seeing his father sleeping by his sickbed.

    So I’ve seen fanfics where Merlin goes back, or when they both go back to the startline, but I just had the idea, what if it was Arthur burdened with the knowledge of the future, more than Merlin, because the poor boy deserves some break. And it was fun thinking about what decisions would Arthur make, if he had to do it all over again. For Arthur the Questing Beast was like five years ago or more, so he doesn’t fully remember everything, just main events. For example he remembers that the Lady Catrina was a troll, but he doesn’t remember that it was Cedric, who was possessed by Cornelius Sigan.
    Also, English is not my first language, so sorry if I make mistakes! I hope you enjoy.

    Summary

    When Osamu was rejected by Border's combat group for having too low Trion, he tried the tests month after month until he was finally let in despite it.

    But what if instead of trying again at the next possible time, he tried another method to get into Border? Maybe he can forge his path in a different way.

    Summary

    “How’d you manage to swing that with the Hokage?” Obito chuckled, incredulous. The two guards positioned between them cast sidelong glances at each other, but Obito was so shocked by what Kakashi had said that he hadn’t even thought to read into it. Something as simple as seeing the sun again had felt like a pipe dream. Kakashi probably just meant somewhere that he didn’t have to sleep on a cot covered rock, or something, there was no way-

    “Oh, it was easy,” Kakashi said, using his elbow to push himself off the door frame as Obito’s brows furrowed, “Considering I’m Hokage.”

    Summary

    Obito arrives a few moments earlier when Rin jumps in front of Kakashi’s chidori. He’s still too late to save her, but he’s in time to watch the sequence of events that makes Kakashi shatter. Instead of returning to Madara, he chooses to live by his own mantra and refuses to abandon his friend in his time of need. Obito returns to Konoha with Kakashi, and this results in just a few unintended consequences. One of them being his insistence that he should be allowed to care for his late sensei’s orphan son, no matter what the Sandaime might say about the matter. He’s not quite sure how Kakashi becoming his unofficial co-parent fits into this, but he’ll figure it out eventually.

    Bakugou Katsuki died after making that blow meant for Shigaraki.

    Then, he found himself back on the body of his four years old self in front of Izuku, whose hand was extended in front of his face.

    He went back in time.

    Or the fix-it fic with what-ifs that no one asked for.

    Summary

    Oda Sakunosuke died to a bullet hole in the chest after a drawn-out fight with the murderer of his adopted children. His body was taken by the Port Mafia for examination, and his funeral was held, attended, and funded by one person months later. His death wasn't grieved by many and even fewer remembered his name in the following years. It was just another example of a non-important member of the Port Mafia dying on the job.

     

    Or that was the official story, anyway.

     

    ------

     

    In other words,
    THE ALTERNATE UNIVERSE WHERE ODASAKU LIVES THAT I HAVE BEEN CRAVING FOR ACTUAL YEARS.

    I know there are technically a lot of fics of these two, but a mass majority (in my opinion) are very lacking and grossly mis-characterize one, if not both of them. (Not that I mind mis-characterization all the time, or people making a character into their own. Just that they usually make Dazai very tropey and Oda not written in a very believable manner; he's either too stern or far too expressive.) This is a shame, because the special relationship these two share is my ultimate comfort.

    That being said, ENJOY THE FIC!!!!

    Summary


    It starts with an encrypted video, anonymously sent to their personal emails.

    When Jason finishes watching it, all he can see is green, green, green.

    When Tim gets through watching it, he hits replay, analyzing every single detail no matter how sick with horror and guilt it makes him feel.

    By the time Damian receives a video of his own, he’s already gone missing. (Presumably, to go find the subject of said video in the first place.)

    Or, the batfamily realises just how badly they hurt Dick when he came back from Spyral and take it upon themselves to do everything they can to make things right.

    Summary

    "Someone needs to go with him." Diana said. "She's a goddess of family. Her blessing will come from the strength of his familial ties."

    All the more reason I should go. Damian thought.

    Bruce and Dick shared a long look. Perhaps to the others in the room, it was a fast, indecipherable look, but Damian caught the pull of Dick's mouth and the tightness to his father's jaw. However, it was Bruce that said "Red Hood and Red Robin."

    Damian's eyes widened.

    Grayson was as good as dead.

     

    Or the one where Dick's brothers manage to royally piss off an ancient deity that sends them careening through memories he'd rather they didn't see.

    There are two things that happened to Ajax after downing five bottles of fire-water. First, getting a head-splitting hangover, bad enough for him to take a precious paid leave. Second, calling a certain person (now with the alias: Morax) whose number is identical to his except the final digit.

    Summary

    After the failed invasion from Alvarez and the defeat of Acnologia, something seems off about Freed and Mirajane both. What's more, the appearance of a cruel woman who Freed seems to know in league with warmongering deserters from Alvarez hints that the rune mage is keeping more secrets than anyone thought, even as a preteen girl arrives from his native Bosco in search of protection from a Zeref cult. Freed's past is closing in on him from all sides, and it's all he can do to hope he gets out of it without having to reveal horrific truths about himself...truths that he's afraid even the man he loves most would never forgive.
