Summary
She should be dead. It’s all Hermoine Granger knows for certain. Instead, she wakes in a hospital in 1975 with no memory of who she is, only that she’s been terribly hurt. Plagued by magical injuries—both physical and cursed—and with no record of her past, the Ministry names her a lost student and places her under Hogwarts’ care. As Hermione begins to piece herself back together, strange memories haunt her, and war looms on the horizon.

Summary
A failed novelist from our world with no knowledge of Naruto reincarnates into the body of a Kyuubi orphan. Thrust into a terrifying and unfamiliar world, Atsuko is content to languish in mediocrity as a career genin.
Bored, she spends her spare time rewriting stories from her old world - only for a publisher to snatch them up. Atsuko becomes a best-selling author built on a throne of lies. Good thing there's no such thing as copyright law in a military dictatorship...?
In which Atsuko shamelessly rips off the Western Literary Canon, is frog-marched into Konoha’s Intelligence division to become a spy, and accidentally steals Jiraiya's thunder. Not necessarily in that order.

Summary
Before the age of six, Ōno Umeko committed a murder—she killed the real Umeko.
“I’m disappointed, Umeko.” She opened her eyes and he took a sip of his sake. “You have such a narrow mind still, after all these years.”
It wasn’t what she expected. Umeko was expecting to be disciplined for not being good enough, but being narrow-minded? She didn’t understand. “Grandfather?”
On steady legs, despite the bandages wrapping him, he stood to his full height. “Did you think I had no influence on the Academy at all? You forget yourself.”
Umeko swallowed his disappointment and it tasted like copper. “I’m sorry, Grandfather.”
He looked down on her at her position on the ground, and she felt so lowly. Even more pathetic and sad than when she whispered empty compliments to Ino, when Shikamaru rejected her.
Her grandfather started walking away, and said into the quiet of the big lonely house, “I gave you your tools. Now use them.”

Summary
“Save my son,” Narcissa’s voice was steady, her eyes determined. “Save my family.”
Hermione Nott always dreamed. She dreamed of a different life, a life without magic.
She dreamed she was a muggle.
Or so she thought.
When she was 11, she dreamed she was actually a muggleborn going to Hogwarts, instead of the Beauxbatons school her family sent her to.
When she was 13, she dreamed of being petrified.
But these were just dreams, right?
Except, when she was 17, her parents transferred her to Hogwarts mid-term and engaged her to the Black heir.
After that, she began to think that maybe…just maybe… these weren’t dreams at all.
