'Hero of the Sword' compared to Hero of the Sword. A Nameless Hero brought into a world facing catastrophe. Shirou summoned as an add-on to the 4 heroes, yet who was the real hero? A Sword? A Spear? A Bow? A Shield? Well, Shirou could do that too.

The Hunt is Over. The Moon Presence lies dead, and The Good Hunter has become the new master of the Dream. However, wanting to get away from the horrible place that is Yharnam, she has willed the Hunter's Workshop to a new realm. One filled with lustful Monster Girls and the humans who oppose them. On RoyalRoad. TvTropes: p/Fanfic/AHunter

To sum things up, I'm screwed. It's one thing to wind up in a story I know, but what happens when I get sent to one I've only heard whispers of? One rife with the undead, a Fell Dragon, and a scrappy band of Shepherds clinging to the last vestiges of hope. Time to find out. That is, if I live long enough to do so. A Fire Emblem Awakening SI

He was not aware of how he got to this new world. He could not see a way to return home. Some might say he had nothing...but they would be wrong. He had his wits, his skills, and most of all, his ambitions. And even in a new world, there was still an underworld of crime he could rise to the top of. A golden wind is about to sweep through Remnant.

Guardian, Protector, Hero, and perhaps something more, that was what he had always meant to her, but to others he was simply known as the Huntsman of Red, Remnant's final hope.

Three months after his unwilling return to Earth, Natsuki Subaru spontaneously combusts. A number of deaths later, he joins the Chaldea Security Organization. And then dies some more. Save the world, Subaru. If you can manage that, then maybe, just maybe, you'll find a way back to that other world of yours.

A certain technician is invited as a member of Chaldea's staff until a chance discovery changes everything and lands him into an ordeal with the fate of Humanity itself at risk.

Victory can prove bitter, especially when you're the only one alive to see it. With the world in chaos and everyone he ever loved dead, Jaune Arc makes a deal with the devil for one last chance to go back and change it all. But devils don't play by the same rules as humans, and Salem never did say how far back he'd go. Or how much deeper the war between her and Ozpin really went.

One's fate is not decided by chance, but by choice. A hero will rise from the desolate sands of Hueco Mundo.

An irritated Pokemon might tell you to stop what you're doing. An irritated animal will probably just attack you. Pokemon, for all their power, would be open books and a breeze to care for to any competent animal handler on Earth. After a fiery death, a professional zookeeper who never outgrew Pokemon games ends up in the world of Pokemon. The entire world is thrown onto its side.

I swear, every time I turn around, someone else has got a clever idea to get me killed. And it usually works. Death doesn't seem too keen on sticking with me, though, so I guess I can get over it. Self-insert. Playfully testing the limits of what Rated T means. Cover image by Xcell

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.

An unlikely Master summons a Servant beyond the present world's understanding, starting a series of events that would become the basis of a legend. (-A reimagining of the original Birth of a Legend)

It's time to stop waiting for other people to save you. A story about fear, resilience, and Sakura.

Karasuba never had any intention of finding her "Destined One"; to spill blood, any Ashikabi would do. With that said, she was never supposed to meet a genocidal maniac as sick and twisted as Emiya Shirou. Maybe romance wasn't dead after all.

When you're from another world, mopping classrooms and organizing bookshelves at Garreg Mach for room and board is a pretty sweet deal. It seems easy enough to keep a low profile, but as an outsider in a world like Fódlan, you'll need to make friends fast to stay employed—and alive.

Death and corruption. A rotting Empire, and a man who would sit at the heart of a revolution. In a dark world of constant death and deceit, what place will a man whose only wish was to save others be able to carve out for himself?

A single meeting can change a life. But how was anyone to know that a Fateful Encounter on a cold winter night in Fuyuki City would have such far reaching consequences?

Emiya Shirou rejected the notion of sacrificing the few for the many. He could not and would not sacrifice his sister's life even for the sake of humanity's salvation. He wished upon the Holy Grail for her to find a world where she wouldn't suffer any longer. Strangely enough, he didn't expect himself to be picked up along for the ride as well!

The Force often works in strange ways. That was never truer when Darth Vader, not Anakin Skywalker, found himself on Naboo during the Trade Federation occupation. How is the Republic to react to a Sith Lord that has committed no crime and is aiding Queen Amidala? And did I mention Vader wasn't the only one brought along the ride? No, it's not Luke or Leia.

Unaware of loss, nor aware of gain. That phrase defined him since the day of his birth. However, the words of a certain magus allowed him to finally break free from the shackles that made him Shirou Emiya. The counterforce would not acknowledge the contract of a man who didn't exist, so where else could he go, other than back to the beginning?

The Hamlet. As dark and depraved a destination as possible to find in this twisted nightmare of a world. A place suited for one such as him and It was more than happy to kill the terrors that made their home here. Those who saw his brand scorned him, hated him, were revolted, until a chattering little bird sat down in front of him. Rated M for safety. Slow burn. Beta: TheSilverboar

Lelouch expected many things after his death. What he didn't expect was to find himself in the war between seven wizards and historical figures. Still, the prize seems nice enough so he might as well take it. Not to mention working with a fellow demon might be a unique experience.

Ash Ketchum has been determined to become the best since he was a toddler. He has his eyes set on a charmander, but a twist of fate led him to the humble Nidoran. Note: Mix between anime and the games.

Shirou Emiya died in the final battle with Kirei Kotomine. Artoria Pendragon, who returned to her time with the scabbard after destroying the Holy Grail, does not take it well. Fortunately, being in the past allows her to make plans to go off the rails to resolve this tragedy... Strong Shirou x Artoria x Accidental Harem in distant future. Currently in Fate/Zero era.

Ribbon's just your run of the mill human in a wasteland world who 1) has been lied to since birth, 2) may be the very last of his kind, and 3) has gotten tangled in 9S and 2B's spiral of a relationship. There's absolutely nothing psychologically wrong with him.

Artoria's life changes the night she summons Shirou Emiya. His arrival heralds the beginning of a grand adventure, filled with vampires, TYPEs, and converging timelines. But she's more focused on the girl he's trying to find. A girl she's never met... whose name is also Artoria. A fate/stay night fan sequel.

It wasn't enough to have to deal with the Thalmor, the Falmer, and all his other enemies. Now he had to deal with the antics of a blond boy, too.

Things went a little differently on that first day of the death game. Before Kayaba's announcement, Kirito had PKed another player. An action that permanently changed his cursor to orange. Now he's a criminal. The other players will hunt him down for that. The NPCs will refuse him service. He won't be able to trade with anyone anymore. He was completely alone now. Slight AU.

(The Third Hokage was dead. It wasn't enough.) Team Eight knew loss like the seals on the backs of their tongues. They'd been silenced, branded, abandoned, ambushed, left on the enemy's doorstep like a gift—unlucky was their nickname, but they would make it their trade. (The Third Hokage was dead. It was Danzo's turn.) SEQUEL TO: Hoshigaki

Sea Kings, sea-sickness, sunburns, a 95% genocidal Navy and more than a million and one other assorted ways to die. It's official: Being inserted into an anime sucks ass... Buuut I guess it could be worse. I mean, look on the bright side: At least I'm sailing with the future king of the pirates. (Self-Insert)

Emiya Kiritsugu was happy living the rest of his short days. He had put his past behind him... until he began to dream of futures that had yet to be. Let it be known that the Magus Killer was not dangerous simply because he was dying and had no plans to fight. Slowly being put on Royal Road over time.

The Courier just wants a break from babysitting four teenaged girls who clearly do not belong in the Wasteland.

Artoria remains in the world with a real Human body after the Events of the 4th Holy Grail War. With her questions answered, she must go out of her way to fix the mistakes the search for the Grail has caused. For the sake of the ones she cares about and her Pride as a Knight. After all, it is the ideal Knight's goal to strive for a world where no one has to suffer. (No GilxSaber)

With the final battle against Salem concluded, Jaune now finds himself stranded in a strange world where there is no such thing as dust and actual gods roam the land. Caught in circumstances beyond his control, he struggles to find a path forward and perhaps a way back to Remnant. An Icura and Vahn collaboration project.

All the world's a sale, And all the men and women merely opportunities. An actor (Self-Insert) wakes up in Valm after a nasty incident in a play, and finds himself on the road with Anna. They become fast friends as the adventure unfolds, but the road to the end of Awakening won't be so easy... Adventure/Humor story containing darker themes.

Left in a new world with hardly an explanation for his arrival, the only thing left for him to do was to keep walking forward one step at a time for those watching behind him.

Basic medicine and sanitation are simple. During the Warring Clans era, they become revolutionary. [OC-Insert]

Saving people was his purpose. With the concept of heroism being so tightly threaded into who he was as a person, it came as no surprise that he would succeed as a pro hero. That said, no one could say they expected him to be brought on as a teacher at his alma mater. That couldn't be a good idea, right?

When Wall Maria falls to the titans, a young blacksmith from Wall Sina enlists in the 104th Training Corps, determined to make a difference for the survival of humanity.

In another world, a young man with no memories of his past was trusted to guide Ylisse in war. Given a new chance, the broken queen will make sure this young tactician survived, no matter the cost.

No, Yukinoshita's black limousine did not isekai Hikigaya Hachiman; it instead gave him a broken leg. But something happened or he wouldn't be here. Seemingly overnight, Sobu High and everything else Hikigaya knows is gone, replaced by a fantasy world that chuunis would thrill to be in. Not Hikigaya, though. For him, it's just all so horribly wrong. Crossposted on SpaceBattles.

He was a hopeless man, a man who would amount to a little more than a fool. Yet this man pursued an endless dream, a dream in which he could hold her again... (A Shirou medieval Britain Fic-beginning before Saber drew Caliburn)

A series of oneshots exploring different directions the story of Attack on Titan could have gone, including but not limited to alternate character decisions and/or what could have happened if Eren had used the full power of the Founding Titan earlier in the story. NOW INCLUDES A LESS DUMB ENDING TO THE MANGA

When Eren finally reached the basement, what he found in there was not the freedom he had longed for, as the harsh reality of the world outside the walls weighs down on him. But what if he had been given a chance to go back in time and do it all over again, and prevent the tragedies from repeating themselves?

I can remember a world where I was safe, where war was a notion meant for more violent countries, and where the internet gave me unlimited entertainment and knowledge with a few keystrokes. That world is not this one, and I miss it dearly. At least I have Morgan to keep me alive and sane, and I can provide some use to this world with my knowledge of Awakening. Self-insert.

SI/OC insert. The whole rebirth shebang never really interested me, until I was involved. As a waterbender during the Siege of the North with the memories of my past life, things go quite differently than in canon. Some things though, stay exactly (frustratingly) the same. Fair warning: Not much humour, mostly dark themes, social critique, Trigger Warning: Depression, anxiety

Upon the deaths of the seven Servants of the 5th Holy Grail War, the Heroic Spirits expected to disappear.

The Great Holy Grail War commences with three factions rather than two!

When Armin and Mikasa are given the chance to fix the mistakes of the past they will do everything they can to save their friends. Even if they need to abandon their very humanity to do it.

But as a boy with no huntsmen training, no huntsmen knowledge, and no huntsmen transcripts, he had absolutely no chance of getting into a school like that legally. After scouring the darkest corners of the CCTNet, he finally found a lead. A place called Grimm Academy. Cover art by Seshirukun.

"With swords that aren't yours, with skills that aren't yours, for dreams that aren't yours. Your entire existence is a lie!" - "Then I'll show you that even fake dreams can become reality." A different choice, a different path, a different FATE. Shirou/Multi

Rin might have convinced him to take the gig, but Shirou had a funny feeling that this wasn't what she had in mind at all. If being a master of Chaldea was dangerous before, then now it was an outright suicide mission. Investigating all of these singularities on his own won't be very fun.

A young soldier from a once great family is thrust into the future and ends up in an unfamiliar and bizarre world, where his presence can cause complications both ancient and modern. He inadvertently becomes a trainer through mere misunderstanding and sets off in a journey to discover his own self and where he stands in a world that isn't his own.

She was a failure of a Mage, unable to cast even the simplest of spells. He was an Undead, a monster used as a pawn in battle he could never understand. They had nothing in common, and yet fate saw it fit to bind the two souls together.

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.

Shirou Emiya's world is turned upside down when he summons not a blonde Knight, but a white haired woman clad in Black and Red. Can two blades hold the heavens?

The Third Hokage dies stopping Orochimaru before he can defect, leaving Danzo a much freer hand to do as he pleases, and in the aftermath of the Kyuubi Attack, nothing stopping him from his long-held goals of being Hokage and strengthening the Leaf Village. Yet Danzo finds himself having to alter his plans again and again, and ultimately having to stand in the light he so despises.

Ending up in the deadliest battle-royale in history was not how I expected my night to start, but with the best-worst Servant by my side-... Right, she might be more of a hazard to my health than anyone else, which is saying something... Cursed Grail help me get through this. SI OC.

Firecracker: a small explosive device primarily designed to produce a large amount of noise. As far as Cross was concerned, this was a perfect description of Allen Walker before he met Mana.

Upon reawakening, they had often wondered at the back of their heads but dare not voice: "What is the purpose of our lives?" Androids were created to protect their human masters, but humans were already extinct. According to the records, their creators had often contemplated questions like these.

Rated T to be safe.

The world first saw Harry Bailey in a photo kneeling on a road before the Endbringer the Simurgh. The Simurgh's psychic scream drove entire cities mad. In Harry, it woke something else entirely. He never told the heroes what happened. After all, how could a young boy explain memories he could not possibly have, of a powerful, ancient sorcerer from a universe that preceded his own?

Having fought his way free, he encounters some people he knew were dead, and some who when previously met have tried to kill him on sight, but now show concern. Is this an elaborate genjutsu? Or something else?

They were shinobi: machines trained from childhood to kill or be killed. They were experienced soldiers; tools even. And that's why you can't blame them for being idiots in everything else. A collection of short related chapters. (Sequel to Otokage)

It was then, Archer decided, that he needed some answers.

In a barren land incapable of sustaining life, a Miko, whose most basic and most principal of powers is to give and nurture life, must seem divine in nature. It's not simple Mokuton, said Sunagakure village elders, Mokuton only affects wood and cannot give life to dead crops. It definitely does not resurrect a village on the brink of historic financial depression either.

Taylor Hebert dies in the locker. Then she wakes up in her grave, changed. Powerful. With faint memories of a life not her own. And why does she dream of a castle in the mountains?

I wonder, what does it mean to feel? I wonder, what does it mean to be human? I wonder, what does it mean to live? I wonder, what does it mean to love? With her, I no longer wonder.

If the shoes fit, walk a mile in them. But what happens when Booker DeWitt is given a second chance at life as Harry James Potter? Do you still walk when the shoes aren't the right size? UNDERGOING REWRITE.

The Shinigami was satisfied by the bloodbath called the Fourth Shinobi World War. He reaped the souls of over 80,000 ninjas and countless civilians... Then why does he send one of them back in time?

A psychiatrist is reborn—and promptly diagnoses the Naruto world as clinically insane. [OC-Insert]

It all started with a joke, a drunk truck driver and dreams of a harem and ended with a trip to the hospital, a broken leg, a crutch and the ability to see numbers everywhere. Yeah, Life isn't too kind on Issei. Sadly enough, he could see that it was about to get whole lot more complicated.

Whipping branches and grasping thorns tore at her skin and clothes, shredding them and leaving scores of cuts and gashes. Blood trickled from them, leaving small droplets behind as she urged her rapidly flagging legs onwards. She fled so that she could live. So that even for a second longer, she would live. And so there was rain, and blood, and those condemned.

A hero was NOT what he wanted to be after being turned into the Magical society's clean up wizard. He was far too jaded to be one anymore.

Too bad they aren't giving him much of a choice.

Dragon's fire is not so easily extinguished; when Zuko rediscovers a lost firebending technique, shifting flames can shift the world... Follows "Theft Absolute".
