If instead of ignoring how psychotic Sasuke is, Naruto brings it up with Kakashi. Reviews make me write more.

Vignettes of various concepts.

The ritual of protection was not the only thing Lily Potter was working on the night Voldemort killed her.

Ever wonder why Snape is such a bastard? Read his journal, beginning shortly after the fall of Voldemort.

Lily Potter (née Evans) was the greatest witch of her generation. A little thing like death isn't going to stop her from protecting her baby.

Hermione Granger invents the impossible: time travel. Harry Potter, Trouble Magnet and generally the Hero Of The Story, is her guinea pig. Starts off at the end of Goblet of Fire and the end of Prisoner of Azkaban (it's time travel).

A chance encounter in Naruto's childhood dramatically changes his life. He is focused, introspective, and not desperate for attention. Rated M because people die, bleed, and swear.
