AU reboot of the entire SAO storyline, beginning from the premise that Kayaba Akihiko was obsessed with magic and Norse Mythology rather than swords and pure melee. As a result, he created the Death Game of Alfheim Online rather than the floating castle of Aincrad—a world in which PvP is not a crime, and the nine player races are in competition to escape. **SPOILERS IN REVIEWS**

Senju Hashirama's dream to unify all of the warring clans of his country under one village remained just that; a dream. Generations later, the ninja world still consists of pure clan affiliation. Enacting peace through understanding has fallen to the side. A catalyst is needed for any kind of change to occur, and it is all found in a little boy... for better or for worse. AU.

It was their last, desperate gambit. Their last hope. They pinned everything on a prayer that he could save them...and now...he's not even sure if he can make it count anymore.

Naruto was born with hair as red as his mother's, but with a face and intellect that paralleled his father, the Fourth Hokage. Will the revolution he brings be the world's salvation or destruction?

Seven years after the end of the war, Jon Snow struggles with the demons of his past and withdraws into despair at the Wall. Meanwhile Sansa fights to maintain the peace at the court of Jon's brother Aegon, the dangerous and unpredictable Dragon King. Warnings for violence, major character death, and rape.

Uzumaki Naruto grew up with lofty goals, guts, and determination. Instincts of a born fighter made him grow; duty to his home drove him. As the battle lines begin to blur, he must find a way to reconcile all he's ever known with the man he hopes to become. Large AU.

Mizuki never got to shoot his mouth off at Naruto the night he took the Scroll of Seals. Other than skipping a half-manic monologue from him what exactly did this change for everyone's favorite blonde ninja? Who knows? Rated M for language/later events.

Everyone sees the world differently. Namikaze Minato just sees the world a little more differently than usual. "It's not your chaotic evil alignment that's the problem, Orochimaru. It's just that if you really wanted to be Hokage, you shouldn't have made charisma your dump stat." (the Gamer!Minato AU you never knew you wanted)

Uzumaki Naruto was born to be a shinobi. He was supposed to be a killer; a protector of unparalleled skill. His lineage and the demon in his gut ensured that. In canon, his growth was stunted. In here, he had a reason to be strong. He has to survive. AU.

"You can't always win. Sometimes circumstances are outside your control, sometimes you suffer losses. If we don't bend, we break. A shinobi endures. Do you understand?" His life the prize in a game with stakes too high and odds too long, Naruto learns that survival is its own form of victory. Sequel to Patriot's Dawn. AU.

Madara had a plan. The Yondaime ruined it. Madara made another plan. One that could not fail. But the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry and this one had just run straight into the number one most surprising ninja in Konoha, one Uzumaki Naruto.

The sound of clinking metal was as oppressive as the cuffs that bound her hand. "How far do you think you can go without my power?" she huffed at the Prince. Purple met amber in a silent, violent clash of wills. Lelouch leaned into his chair, the small smile that twisted his lips gave him a look of arrogance. Arrogance and superiority. "Far enough."

Sometimes it's easy to see the familiar in the faces around you. Sometimes it sucks to figure out why.

Sequel to 'A Clash of Kings: Knees Falling'. King's Landing has fallen. Renly Baratheon has usurped the Iron Throne. Robert's heir, a child in exile, is guarded by his maimed uncle Tyrion, but their enemies are many and their friends are few. While Arya Stark is trapped in Harrenhal, in the riverlands the war rages on… and a horde of hungry wildlings draws nearer to the Wall.

Sakura's friendship with a rogue nin is a lifeline for both, but it cannot last. Nothing ever lasts for him. But when a blond Akatsuki shows up with the bleeding kunoichi in his arms, will she be she strong enough to unravel the mystery of who he is? AU Naru/Saku

COMPLETE! Sequel to Empire's Son. As Palpatine's Empire crumbles, Luke retreats to a grim self-imposed anonymity in the galaxy's Rim planets. But he cannot outrun his past, and Imperials and Rebels alike are searching for the last Sith, their motives very different.

Robert Baratheon died at the Battle of the Trident and his rebellion died with him. Fifteen years later, King Rhaegar has done his best to ensure a lasting peace for the Seven Kingdoms, but nothing can last forever. A time of war is coming, a time for fire and blood, and it falls to Rhaegar's children to ensure their father's realm does not fall to ruin.

Pull a thread and the tapestry unravels. A song of ice and fire from the very first note. All the difference a drunk, a dwarf and a dragonbone dagger might have made in the right order. An audacious attempt to weave something new from the same web G R R Martin has spun. Likely to be epic length, and to contain aspects of all genres. Will be written faster than Winds of Winter!

Five kings stake their claims to power, but not only kings bleed in kings' wars. It is the men and women behind them, most of humbler blood, who will decide the course of fate. A seagull takes a different path after a day's hunting in the Narrow Sea, and so one dies who might have lived. From that seed Westeros changes beyond imagination. 'A Clash of Kings' as it could have been.

Kakashi was a bit late to fill out a bit of paperwork, and Tetsuo manages to keep Naruto as his student and gain that year's Rookie of the Year and Top Kunoichi. With what he sees as a potential dream team, or at least one that won't drag Naruto down, he decides to prepare them for the Winter Chunin Exams that are coming up in two months. Diverges from First Try Chapter 11.

Lelouch had been quite happy with his life. Sure they were living in obscurity, but he and Nunnally were safe. All of that changes however, when his identity is revealed and Lelouch is forced back into the fold of the Imperial family.

ANBU!Naruto. Drafted into ANBU at a young age, Naruto is guided to the path of a Captain. Leader of Team Sigma, the Hokage's Personal Guard, Naruto will lead his team and defend his Village to the best of his ability. Threats besiege the Land of Fire from all sides, and only Naruto stands before them...

Ever since the seal broke, Naruto's life has changed. He's been thrust into ANBU: he's starting to lose sight of which half is him and which half is his demon, he can't seem to find his way back to team seven, and he's been having these weird dreams - with a sky wrenched apart by a broken moon, a man with a staff, and a version of him with glowing, nine-tomoe eyes.

There's a saying, amongst the men and women of the Land of Fire: You can be a hero, or you can be a Shinobi. There's a response, amongst the men and woman of Team 7: Fuck that. AU.

Who said that Shinigami takes your life for his services? No one. Yondaime learned it the hard way the day Kyuubi attacked. A different turn of events! What if Naruto was raised by Madara? Additional notes: slight AU; No Yaoi

AU. A plague descended upon the village, and to appease the God of Death they offered him a bride as a sacrifice. (FINISHED! FINALLY!)

One decision can change the world, but it's not as easy to change it back again. To his shame, Itachi saves his brother at the cost of losing his village. Now the shinobi of Konoha are enslaved or scattered, hearts full of vengeance but bereft of hope. As for Naruto, he is finally acknowledged... by Madara. When the battle lines are drawn, how will he know where to stand?

Naruto becomes the villain everyone in the village always thought he would be. Only one person will risk everything to try and redeem him. His best and most loyal friend, Uchiha Sasuke.

In the ashes of war-torn Westeros, the fate of the remnants of House Stark - and that of their lovers, allies, friends, and foes - hangs in the balance. Has turned into my best attempt to complete the entire ASOIAF saga. ***COMPLETE***

History often hinges on a moment. What if young Lelouch avoided the fate of exile and remained with the royal family? All roles become reversed. The tale of Lelouch's quest for power and vengeance as the Black Prince of the Empire.

When Konoha ninja return from investigating one of Orochimaru's laboratories, they bring back a devastating strain of chakra bacterium - Kimimaro's sickness developed into a bioweapon. As Naruto and his surviving friends struggle to live in Plague-stricken Konoha, Madara plots, an anti-ninja cult demands repentance, and, in the midst of it all, Sasuke seeks a perfect revenge.

"It was decreed that each year, the various sectors would offer up in tribute, one young man and woman to fight to the death in a pageant of honor, courage and sacrifice." Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha, residents of Sector 3 and two very promising young ninja training to become ANBU, are chosen for the Senshi Games. But since it's a Quarter Quell, there're a twist to these games.

It has been said that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions and the road back a difficult, slippery slope. Now Anakin has to face himself and his choices, avoid the suspicion of everyone from the Jedi Council to Palpatine and try to prevent the future from turning out as badly as it did before all while somehow finding a way to balance the Force...again. Time Travel

Kurosaki Ichigo is Japan's number 1 idol. Inoue Orihime is an employee and aspiring actress who has just lost her job. One day they were strangers to each other, the next day, they were Japan's most talked-about celebrity couple. IchiHime!

And Start Your Very Own Secret Ninja Organization. Three months into Naruto's training trip Jiraiya must leave him behind to go to check on a situation in Iwa, leaving Naruto to his own devices. Naruto thinks everything he did makes perfect sense, Kiri thinks he is a cult leader and Tsunade thinks she doesn't get paid enough to deal with this. 100 drabbles format.

Minato and Sarutobi had a plan. Kyuubi's presence altered that plan. Now years later one Uzumaki Naruto finds himself ensnared in a web of murder, lies and tragedy and now must face an evil that has long threatened all of the shinobi nations.

In the final battle with Aizen a different choice is made, and now Ichigo and his greatest enemy have gone back to the beginning. His best friends are powerless, his allies don't know him, and everything he loves is in danger. No non-canon pairings. Complete, with the sequel now posted.

It has been three years since Team 7 broke apart and each member went their own way. Now, the Akatsuki are on the move, as is Orochimaru, and things become more complicated as problems at home arise and threaten to distract everyone from their duties at a most critical time. Sequel to First Try: Team 7

[FANOWRIMO CHALLENGE] Most people seem to think that developing a doujutsu is a wondrous, unspeakably lucky occurrence. Considering that she now has to deal with an ability she has no idea how to use, family drama, fashion crises, and the world's most rude and vulgar doctor, on top of getting to know her new genin team just after graduation...needless to say, Sakura begs to differ.

Due to a quirk of fate, Naruto passes the Academy Graduation Exam on his first try. Because of this, his life takes an interesting turn before he joins Team 7 after Kakashi poaches him from his sensei.

The eve after Kyuubi's attack, Konoha is low on strength. The council agrees to turn Naruto into a living weapon. But years later, after Sarutobi's death, will Konoha's weapon continue to defend it? Or will he poise his blade to carve out their throats?

The end of the Fourth Shinobi World War was the herald of greatness, and an era of peace and prosperity was ushered in on the shoulders of a legend. In the world of shinobi, however, nothing is ever as it seems. And five years later, all is not well.

A wiser and more experienced Naruto is forced onto a team he hadn't wanted to join in the first place. However, as they say, "Those who break the rules are trash. Those who abandon their teammates are worse than trash.". Sequel to First Try.

Uchiha Mikoto takes the hand of an outcast child, and with it rewrites the destiny of her clan. AU. *SEQUEL UP*

If a situation can go both ways, it will. At every crossroads, a new universe is formed, and a person will always take the road not taken, even if they never see themselves do it. Tsunade makes a different choice, and there are consequences.

When Naruto's father met his mother, his only impression was that a village out there must have been missing its idiot. Minato/Kushina.

In the afterlife, the journey is just as important as the destination. Jiraiya seeks his student, Itachi seeks redemption, and a newcomer seeks a friend. Sequel to ncfan's "Chasing Shadows." One-shot, manga spoilers.

“If this is the afterlife, then why aren’t you in hell?” Itachi only smiles cryptically. Death is a destination, the afterlife a series of paths. Gen. fic, oneshot. Jiraiya, Itachi, others.

After receiving a time travel jutsu as payment for a mission, the original four members of Team 7 each get a chance to go back to one event in their life and change it. Surely they will use such an awesome power responsibly...right? Don't count on it.

Salvation from chaos or ashes and dust from the whole of creation? Which will Naruto choose when the world is his playground? He should be careful though - he isn't the only one playing the game.

Ichigo accidentally kills Zaraki. He thought people would mind, but instead they want him as 11th Division Captain. Saying no would be smart, but this is Ichigo. IchiOri, RukiNemu, RanHana, UnoKoma, HitsuKiyo, RenjiUruru. Cracktastic!

How does Konoha eat, anyway? Why does Naruto care? A story about how Naruto decided to go slow and steady, in at least one way, towards his dream of becoming Hokage. Has expanded to become an action/adventure/intrigue story. Rated 'M' for chapter 11

Meet Uzumaki Naruto, the number one prankster ninja. He lives in Konoha...and has a dark secret so large that NOBODY knows, not even Naruto.

The difference between Love and True Love isn't much... except for that 'Even Unto Death' part. Naruto, caught between love, death and his team, can't decide which is the most vexing. Not yaoi.

A very different conclusion to the battle in the valley of the end. The story of a death and all that follows. Character death.

Over time, Naruto learns what it means to be Jinchuuriki. Final in 'Matters, Secrets, and Times.'

The Eleventh Division’s 20 rules of living and dying like a thug.

Lots of people have postulated that Naruto's good at financial planning. Let's follow that thought a little farther into the future.
