Road to Nowhere Discord Recs
This is a collection of fics recommended in the Road to Nowhere Discord server! This was created in an attempt to make searching through recs easier as the channel has gotten so big and sorting through the backlog has become a challenge.
Some fics that have been recced could not be added after the Ao3 update that now requires authors to manually opt-in to allow their fics to be added.
This collection will never be marked Unrevealed or Anonymous.

Summary
When Ximena Santiago was about to turn eleven, her parents took her to New York City for her birthday. She wished, now that she's almost thirteen and those military airships crashed into the Potomac and there's a ghost hiding in the back corner of her broken down warehouse, that they had gone to Disneyland instead.
Or; the one with an amnesiac super soldier assassin, an extraordinary young girl, and their journey in search of their identity and a home, respectively, all while avoiding Captain America's friends and a bunch of nazis.

Summary
"—not kill him, understood?!" Obito growls in exasperation.
There's a displeased grunt and the sound of metal clicking against teeth.
"As much as I would like to agree with you, Genma," Raidō tries civilly, "we can use him for information. I just don't... I just don't understand why he's dressed in pajamas..."
There's a prolonged silence following that statement. Kakashi can practically feel their eyes burning into his skin. It isn't his fault that he ended up here, he doesn't even know how or why it happened in the first place, so if he is dressed for sleep, then the guys should cut him some slack.
Or Kakashi wakes up in a different world and he isn't sure if he likes what he finds there.

Summary
“Blessed Spirit, we thank you for the gift of this child’s life. We are forever in your debt.” The whole village is kneeling now, even the tiniest toddlers flopped down on their stomachs doing their best approximation of a bow. “Please, won’t you give us a name to call you? We would like to properly express our gratitude.”
Oh.
Well shit.
(Where Zuko saves a little Earth Kingdom girl from drowning, the villagers think he's a Spirit, build him a shrine, and long story short, a fake story about the Blue Spirit who dances with dragons suddenly becomes very real.)
