Stories by Countess Millarca

...and I'll take you for a fool (if you help me out of this mess). Or: the more things change, the more they stay the same. [SI-OC!Sakura, not a Fix-It]
When Uzumaki Naruto breathed his last, he didn't expect to wake up in the world of the living again. He was old, and tired, and so, so ready to move on. And, well...he wanted to see his wife again, dammit. But, of course, that wasn't what happened. Reincarnation fic. Naruto-as-Tsuna. Crack-ish.
She didn't ask to be Haruno Sakura, but if she has to deal with being her, then so will everyone else. SI!Sakura. Crack-ish.
Sasuke had never given much thought to what came after death. In retrospect, he probably should have. (In which Sasuke gets reincarnated and is Not Amused, Timoteo questions all of his life choices, Squalo utterly fails at being Suigetsu 2.0, and Federico loves his baby brother to pieces.) Part of my "Light up the Sky" universe, but can be read as a stand-alone. Sasuke-as-Xanxus.
Because Tom Riddle and Lily Potter were brilliant. Harry James Potter wakes up on his eighth birthday knowing great love. Terrible, yes, but great. Ravenclaw Harry, soul-merging. [On Hiatus]
That hot summer of '57. Side-fic to Samsara.
Kagome doesn't want children. She's already raised one child when she's been a child herself. But when she finds one quite-not-human child near her home, she can't just turn her back away. And when his brother comes seeking him, she can't just give him back like that. AU
In the wake of his clash with Naruto, Gaara vies to become something he has never been.

Stubbornness Knows Not Decapitation by Countess Millarca Stale Result (Last seen: )
