    You know the whole go back to the past, do it all over again fanfics. Preferably ones that are NOT harry potter or Naruto bc I think I've read every one from those fandoms already (but if you have some relatively obscure gems hit me up). I'm willing to try any fandom as long as the story is quality and relatively decent length (30k+ no oneshots please). :blobmelt:

    try this https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7112821/1/Muv-Luv-One-Last-Time-into-the-Loop


    technically even the original story material is kind of go back to the past and do it all over again (multiple times)

    Again and again (harry potter, i hope you haven't read it)
    Harry got tired of his "second chance" (eleven times iirc) that given to him, so he try something diferent this time

    Other than that, second wind (one piece) is pretty good.

    Btw, can you give me some recommendations from naruto and harry potter fandom?

    Well, if it doesn't have to be a fanfic, then Mother of Learning is probably the best time loop story out there. Its on royalroad or fanfiction.net

    Purple Days - Joffrey time loops again and again... what could possibly go wrong! A lot, it turns out, but past the first few hilarious deaths, how will one of GoT's most hated characters deal with this curse? Will the madness claim him absolutely? Or will the Purple spit out something... changed? - This is a 11/10 fanfic.

    I am preeeetty sure OP requested fanfics for a reason, instead of just asking for any timetravel/do-over stories...

    Here are some fanfics I would recommend, tho you probably already read them. I don't read fanfics of many other fandoms apart from HP and Naruto, simply because they are the biggest on ff.net

    • Wind Shear (HP - Bellatrix)
    • Amalgum - Lockharts Folly (HP do-over as Lockhart)
    • Delenda Est
    • Harry Potter and the Trip to the Past
    • Luffy's Renewed Adventure (One Piece)
    Hope at least one of them is new to you

    Do you think you could give me a brief overview of the game plot b4 i head on into the fanfic lmao? Never heard of this game :blobwoah:

    Have read the HP one but havnt read any OP at all so there's that.
    I have...a LOT of reccomendations you gotta narrow it down a bit.
    Here's one with my fave Hp pairing: https://m.fanfiction.net/s/10687059/1/Returning-to-the-Start
    Here's a heartwarming/comedic naruto one that made me smile: https://m.fanfiction.net/s/10652186/1/Do-Over


    Not a fanfic but already read regardless lol.

    Read until the Yi Ti arc, agrees it's great.

    Yeah lol, there's a reason I asked specifically for fanfics. I've already read most of the webnovels abt time travel.
    As for your rec, I've havnt read the last one.I know nothing about OP besides Luffy, maybe it's time for me to give it a try? lol
    interesting :blobwoah:

    I remembered The Wastelands of Time -Hp fanfic, but I guess you already read it too, since it has a lot of favs.
    Could you recommend some of your top fanfictions or link your ff profile?
    I want to read some, but don't want to look for hours for good ones

    lets just say that this game inspired alot of things, like that madoka anime(i forgot the full title).
    this game can be considered as the best sci-fi vn. you can buy it on steam.

    some people had experienced minor PTSD after a certain scene in that game.


    considering that this game consisted of 3 different games, i will only give you a brief summary:

    the first game started as a typical rom-com game, with several route (if i am not wrong there are 4-5 route)

    the second game started in alternate world where the mc got transported to (he actualy transported to the same date as the start of the first game. this date is important), where that world humanity is in the brink of extinction because of aliens. the mc go to "military school" to learn how to pilot a mecha (it is called TSF here) with his fellow classmate, and help his teacher (his superior now) to finish a project to "save" humanity. but the project never completed, and humanity ended up going to space (some of them at least, mc children and wife and child included), then the world "reset", but the mc doesnt remember anything. this actually explain why the player can play different route, where any route is actually a parallel universe.

    the third game is... well lets just say that the mc tried to prevent the aliens from winning (preventing humanity to escape earth, because ony "important" people escape, there is actually a spinoff story about those that have been abandoned in the second game, pretty heavy stuff too), something very major happened, this "something" change everything (some said that it might cause ptsd). a lot of people died, a lot... that parallel universe thingy also play major part here.

    btw, everygame start in the same date. and the fanfic i mentioned is about a different take of the third game, a what if story, what if the mc goes back in time one more time...










    actually, my profile picture is a plushie of one of the aliens

    I’ve always liked Reload by Case13. It’s a Naruto fic, though...
    Not Naru or HP...that’s still a lot of fandoms. Though the 30k+ does lower the choices.
    ...How do you feel about BL? I’ll recommend the ones that aren’t BL down here, but I have a lot more with BL if you want them.

    BNHA/MHA:
    Ticked Off by Xenolis
    journey to the past byaloneintherain
    Adjusting the focus » by YepTheRebel (I’m actually not too sure about the pairing in this one. I don’t think it’s BL, though)


    Assassination Classroom:
    Fundamentals for the Aspiring Assassin by spontaneite

    Avengers:
    Thermotemporal Equations byBlinky the Tree Frog (blinkytreefrog) (same with this. I don’t think it’s BL, but I could be wrong)

    Supernatural:
    If I Knew Then What I Know Now bywhatUseeintheshadow

    Katekyo Hitman Reborn:
    Parallel axis of Sawada Tsunayoshi » by Fantasy-Magician
    Vigilante Tendency » by Kyogre
    Troublesome Discoveries » by Searching.For.Enadi

    Bleach:
    The Butterfly Effect byStarrie_Wolf
    Second Chances » by Gamana

    Look up fanfic recs under "For Want of A Nail" or "Peggy Sue" categories in TVTropes, they've got some gems there.

    Otherwise, anything by esama qualifies (her worldbuilding/AUs are insane and I've gotten into fanfics of stuff I don't even follow, like Star Wars of all things).

    If you like Bleach, cywscross has amazing do-over/time travel fics too. Both authors can be found on AO3 and their works easily pass 30k, but be warned: they don't finish all their stories. Still, what they do write is so good it's worth reading anyways.
