Fast Falls the Eventide, and I In It by Watermelonsmellinfellon

Summary
Not necessarily an ideal situation but I'm willing to try and find the positives. At least so I can have something pleasant to look forward to. Being Bella Swan was an unexpected challenge but, you know, it could have been worse. I could have been reborn into Twilight without knowing anything about anything and have to stumble my way through like Bella had!
This was... fine.

Alternate Title: The Snake Goes Ara Ara
By cruel trick of the fates, intervention of stupid gods, or just the apathy of an uncaring universe I find myself woken up as Orochimaru just after he had possessed a woman for his new host. Now I need to find a way to turn this hoard of sycophants and psychos into something that will not only keep me from an early grave, but also how to change it to a force of change in this messed up world.

As The Lightning Strikes by TheAshenOne03

Summary
The Demon Corps had done it-the impossible. The endless war ended with the Demon King's death beneath the piercing rays of the rising sun. Yet victory demanded the ultimate price... none lived to see it.
The nightmare was over.
But not for one man.A swordsman blessed by lightning rose from the ashes. No longer the trembling coward, he vowed to become the wall that would defy time itself-to shield the ones he loved and strike terror into demons like the wrathful thunder of the heavens.
Zenitsu Agatsuma awakens in a world both achingly familiar and impossibly distant. Fate has given him a second chance-or perhaps a cruel jest. Haunted by battles yet to come and faces he could not save, he walks a fragile path where even the smallest change could unravel destiny. And as shadows gather once more, a single question remains: can he rewrite the future, or has fate already chosen his end?
MAJOR SPOILER FOR THE DEMON SLAYER MANGA!!!
READ IT AT YOUR WON RISK!
Disclaimer: I do not own Kimetsu No Yaiba or any of the characters from this story except any OCS that I may create in the future.
Everything in the story belongs to Koyoharu Gotouge.

How to survive an anime Isekai? (no glue, no borax) by cryptid_chimaera

Summary
[Everyone always gets hung up on the whole isekai-to-another-universe thing. No one even considers why Truck-kun goes after elementary schoolers like it’s mad humans invented the polio vaccine and labor laws, and now it wants to single-handedly increase child mortality.
But really, who are we to doubt Truck-kun’s motives and actions? Maybe that kid was the next Ted Bundy, and I’ve just given him a new lease on life.]
Or:
A college burnout gets reincarnated into the MHA universe as a background character after losing a fight with a speeding truck. It's hard to go through a second life when you barely wanted the first one. But fuck it- it's not like they've got anything better to do. -

Summary
[Guess what, apparently if you stay up for 40hours, live off of takeout and grocery store cookies, and mix inadvisable amounts of caffeine, Adderall, and nicotine for months on end-
Riku wakes up to his alarm clock going off.
Only, his name isn’t fucking Riku, he doesn’t own an alarm clock like some geriatric traditionalist, and he is very, very fucking confused.]
Or: SI/OC isekais into the Narutoverse as a 10 year old orphan with no knowledge of canon, a half finished degree in psychology, and a very valid fear of dying considering his current career track.
Edit: I had to turn on moderation due to the volume of spam comments, sorry for the hassle and I hope that doesn't discourage anyone from commenting, I truly love reading them and they make my day! <33
