Great story that is different from most time travel is that it is more tongue-in-cheek rather then too serious. They are not coming from a destroyed future in fact all things considered the future is okay, with Sasuke back and Madara and Orochimaru defeated. However Kakashi is gifted with a time scroll and with the help of Kyuubi chakra decides he wants to go back and save Obito and Rin. Naruto decides to save Haku and Jiraiya as well as others and Sasuke decides he wants to get his revenge on a few people and maybe save his brother. Sakura decides she might as well go along since she will not be left behind again. They assumed that they would be going to different timelines since they were going back to different points on the time lines, wrong. By the time Sakura arrives things are so different she does not know whether she is coming or going. Very funny, very different a great light-hearted romp through the Naruto universe.

With Friends Like These (Gen)

With Friends Like These by Padaloki

Awesome story I love the Avengers but I have to admit Loki is my favorite and this story revolves around him. The story opens with Tony and Steve hearing a noise on the roof and finding a tortured Loki still with the gag on bleeding to death. There is something about a helpless Loki that tugs at your heartstrings. This story has it all, torture, violence, redemption, betrayal, strange allies, death, kids, helpless kittens and so much more. The meeting with Thantos made me cry, the meeting with Hela made me giggle and Loki in battle is magnificent. This is a Loki that has gone through the fire and comes out stronger then before with friends willing to stand beside him no matter the cost. Awesome, awesome story.

Yet Again With A Little Extra Help (Naruto/Hinata)

I love this story, love it, love it. Okay now that is out of my system this is an Awesome story. I thought I had already posted this one. I love the 5 OCs and wish they were mine. {The people in the banner are who I think would be perfect for that character.} The author gives a character sheet for each in his profile and wouldn't it be nice if others did the same. I think of all of them Ghost is my favorite, he is the tortured hero, kick-ass fighter, fundamentally insane, sarcastic, funny, loving, psychotically obsessed with exploding cows and I love him. This is a time travel story with a difference. The Naruto world is losing the fight and in the opening chapter Naruto is trapped as the fox is being extracted. Suddenly in the mind-space there is a tear and a drunk off his rocker Ghost shows up. Naruto is unsure what to do with this crazy character but when offered the chance to redo the past and save the ones he loves he agrees to Ghost's terms. His friends may never forgive him for what he unleashed and they will have trauma about exploding cows for the rest of their lives but they will become stronger and in the process become the best of the best for their village and the ninja world. Also do not read this at work for fear of cackling madly at the stunts pulled, your coworkers will not understand.

New Chance (Naruto/Hinata)

New Chance by Hektols

I am glad I found this story again. It is a time travel with a difference. In the future Madara brings Minato back with the Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei to use against an adult Naruto. What Madara was not aware of that after his bringing back of the prior Hokages, Minato had developed an untested seal to prevent any of the others coming back and being put under control. While it did not stop them being brought back it did prevent mind control and Minato immediately joined his son. Later in a fight with Madara a jujitsu goes wrong and Minato finds himself in the past with a chance to meet his 10 year old son, later in the story you find out he was not the only one that was caught in the timeslip. The story is funny, serious, funny, poignant and did I mention funny. And if the story was not enough the omakes are guaranteed to make you cackle madly. Minato decides to train Nauto as well as friends and punish the villagers. It does not take long for the villagers to realize that Naruto's father is back and boy is he pissed.

A Different Scroll (Naruto/Hinata)

A Different Scroll by BlueWolf1923
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9598944/1/A-Different-Scroll

A great story with awesome, awesome fight scenes. The first chapter was okay but was not something that caught my imagination except for Hinatas' "Forbidden Taijutsu; Single Strike of Eternal Pain" which cracked me up; however, I always try at least 5 chapters before I dismiss a story and I am glad that I did because it picked up fast. The writing stabilized and the characters became more 3 dimensional. I love the development of Hinata and Naruto. He gives her the confidence to believe in herself and she becomes a steady influence on him but they retain their core characters. The changes that can happen from one event is the basis of must stories and the author uses the fact that Hinata decides to help Naruto with a scroll on the Clone Technique and the friendship blossoms. They continue to train together and with Hinata's help they begin to develop their own techniques.The fight scenes are amazing, the author manages to make every fight different but still believable and no one is super powered and an expert on everything. As the story progresses their fights become more complicated and more destructive. I like the fact that they lose as often as they win in the beginning but they never stop and begin to bring in other people. Gaara and his relationship with Tenten is funny as well as poignant since he has no idea what is happening since no one has ever wanted to be with him. The conversations with Kurama are some of the best characterization of the fox that I have read. The author does not turn the fox into a wimp, a mother, a seductress, or pet. Instead, he is angry with solid reasons for his anger, he is not mindless destruction, he is cunning but he is not evil, when Naruto unlocks the Rinnegan Kurama believes that he might be the one to help the Tailed Demons. The story is long at over 300,000 and is just beginning the arc after the timeskip. I cannot wait to see what happens next.

Waifs and Strays Series

Waifs and Strays Series by Vidicon
http://www.tthfanfic.org/series.php?no=2232&rewrite=true

Awesome series with 24 stories and counting and while I know there is no actual picture of Simon I kind of like Gary Oldman since he mostly meets the description and is one of those men that is always hot no matter the age. Anyway the series revolves around Joyce a very underused character and what would happen if she met someone on the first day in Sunnydale. Someone who turns out to know all about Magic as the former Magistrar of New York. He is also extremely wealthy and has connections in all circles, wand withes, covens, demon hunters, pillars of society as well as the dregs of society. There is a list of the order the stories go in as the 2nd story is the main one with the others taking place between certain chapters. The character of Simon Mayer is well thought out and is not all knowing or all powerful just a good man who is willing to stand up for what is right and for the protection of his family.

Child of the Storm (Gen)

Child of the Storm by Nimbus Llewelyn
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8897431/1/Child-of-the-Storm

Great story and one idea that I have not seen before. When attacked by the Dementors Harry lets loose a magical cry for help. One that reaches the ear of an uncle he knows nothing about. Loki realizes that the time for secrets is at end and awakens Thor's memory of his FIRST banishment. When he was born into a mortal body by the name of James Potter. Thor rushes to save his son and the world takes a sharp turn to the left. With ancient enemies on one side and a horde of super allies on the other there is a major storm brewing for Midgard and its allies. The author pulls in characters from all over and ties them neatly to the main characters. Harry has to deal not only with suddenly having his father back but the fact that he is now Asgard royalty, a friend to the Avengers and related by family friendship and blood to other major characters. I love the way Loki is portrayed in this story showing his attempt at redemption, feelings for Sif, and his family. The scene showing just how much he is affected by dark magic is absolutely brilliant.

The Secret Return of Alex Mack (Alex/Ray, Willow/Jack)

The Secret Return of Alex Mack by DianeCastle
http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-28614/DianeCastle+The+Secret+Return+of+Alex+Mack.htm

Awesome story third in the Brane of Extraordinary Women, you really need to read the first story League of Extraordinary women for some of this to make sense. When Alex returns to her dimension she takes the advice of the other heroes to heart and decides that she is ready to take that final step. To do this she searches for the counterparts of the people she met and once she drags the shy but highly intelligent computer genius into her secret world the rest starts to fall into place. Meeting Colonel Jack O'Neill with the Superpower Research Institute along with Finn and Graham she has the beginning of a fixed team to take on the world. Then she meets Hermione, Ron, and Harry and suddenly she is international and now there are characters from all over the place making an appearance, Batman, Firestarter, Hanna to name only a few. The characterization is believable and people being brought into this world are done in such a way that you feel like they were always there.

Great story in which this time Hermione is the focus of a prophecy. She needs to go to different realities to fetch the women that she will need to defeat a god that is threatening all realities. Of course it is our favorite divination professor who gives the following:

THE GATES WILL OPEN. THE CREATURES WILL BE FREED. THE MISTRESS D’LAZZA WILL RELEASE HER ARMIES ONTO THE WORLD. NO MAN OF WOMAN BORN MAY STOP HER. ONLY THE ONE OF THE THREE, AURUM BUT NOT LILY, BROWN BUT NOT RED, MAY SUCCEED. THE ONE MUST SEEK THE SIX. THE MISTRESS OF THE GATES, NOT A MINOR BUT MAJOR. THE TREE OF RED WHO IS NO LONGER BLACK. THE CHOSEN ONE, SISTER OF SUNRISE, WHO HAS CHOSEN ALL. THE FELINE WHO HAS TURNED TAIL. ONCE WHOLE NOW PART NOT LEGS NOR ARM NOR EAR. NOT A DIETER BUT FROM DIET TO DIRECT. ONLY THE SEVEN MAY TRIUMPH. AND IN TRIUMPH NOT ALL WILL SURVIVE.

So Hermione buckles down and finds a way to get her teammates, for me only 3 were obvious but once she got them I was oh that was obvious. The story has great characterization, snarky quips, character growth, weaknesses, and the triumph balanced by loss.
