What happens when the world is empty, and your reason for living was a lie? Find a new reason. Or, perhaps if Fate is willing, an old reason, re-purposed. 2B, 9S, and A2 now have to discover their own truths in a world following the rise and fall of the Tower. And, they have a special companion at their side that might change their fates.

In a futuristic world filled by warring androids, both the virtues and dark side of humanity manage to influence their creations even if they're seemingly extinct. Raised as a child soldier gifted with the powers of maso, Jayce is tossed almost 10000 years into the future having a large impact on both androids and machines. (Politics, world-building, large divergences from canon).

2B and 9S are sent to investigate a string of disappearances in the far reaches of an eerie wilderness. The mission leads them to a strange house lost in an unknown wilderness.

We all thought Project Gestalt could succeed, but it didn't. We all thought humanity would wake from its deep slumber, they never will. We thought so many things, and all of them turned out to be so, so wrong. Well, that's why the Alternative Project exists, but even that had a low chance of succeeding. But maybe, just maybe, it's what will give us hope...

Character study post-timeskip. not very good tbh but hopefully still enjoyable anyways

In a distant future where humanity is extinct, where androids fight a desperate war against the machine life form. There’s one human who survived, a powerful human, how will he react when he finds out the truth. Suck at summary. Rated for M

Alan had no idea how he got there, all he knows is that he is in the distant future of the year 11945 and the world is caught in a war between alien machines and androids, and the surviving humans live on the moon, very of human knowledge and culture has been lost, so while he survives Alan decided to share his knowledge of the past as he travels the world, to do this he will count

9S and 2B find themselves reliving their first mission together, with no recollection of how they got there or why, but with every reason in the world to make sure things turn out better this time. But second chances don't always work out any better than they did the first time around, and soon our heroes will discover that in some cases, fate will not be denied.

Resentful of his pod's decision to revive him while removing large chunks of his memory, 9S sets out to fill in the blanks. Along the way, he uncovers new memories. Files not of his own, but belonging to a prototype iteration of himself. His simple quest to remember suddenly spirals into a twisted mission to resurrect this mysterious android by any means necessary.

Down on Earth, a group of outlaw-like rogue YoRHa androids known as the Dented Plate Gang cause all kinds of trouble like robbing shops, and when they capture 2B, it's up to 9S to stop the group of wrongdoers and save his partner wild west style.

This is the classic "Last human in Nier Automata" story, I just hope you like my take on the story just as much as the others. Hopefully more actually. Also don't worry our favorite 2B,9S and A2 will make their debuts eventually.

YoRHa is back, and they're trying to clone humans! But are they trustworthy? Meanwhile, the local resistance has found a human being, but YoRHa wants him for themselves. Elsewhere, a group of androids and machines have set up a strange philosophical society, and a village has taken inspiration from 21st century America. A sequel to Nier Automata set in a new real-life location.

9s has been brought back with his memories and desires for 2b, hoping to spend time with her now but 2b spends all her time with A2. feeling loneliness eating away at him, 9s seeks to bring back 2b before A2 became part of their lives.

In the early-to-mid-11940s, an American man and a machine lifeform come to learn that their mutual loathing for one another is far exceeded by their shared fears of a world greater than themselves, where life is cheap-especially theirs.

Upon meeting 2B, Anemone begins to remember Number 2 and her old companions, wondering just how much this new unit could be different or alike to her old friend. She believed she'd been the sole survivor of the mission at Mount Ka'ala for the longest time, that all she had left were memories, until someone proves her wrong.

In which a not-quite SI is stuck in the Taroverse, around the events of NieR: Automata. Not that he knows it, of course. What else to do, but start a vlog detailing his misadventure? I don't know what to call this. Its not quite fluff, its not quite crack, its not quite serious - its just a man talking at a camera, at an audience that he can't see. Take that as you will.

Anemone recalls of a special moment spent with someone she'd known for a time that had been way too short. (Anemone/No. 21)

On the surface, 2B was brusque, stoic, and downright callous at times. Below the surface she was... Well, much the same—but 6O had gotten a quick peek at the more caring side of the combat android and she had made it her mission to see more. The problem was that she wasn't quite sure how to do that just yet. (Part 2 of 3)

I am Vanguard 1, the first human to emerge in many millenia. I am tasked to reawaken the rest of my kind, a task difficult and noble. Armed with nothing but my gun and unshakeable faith in Humanity, I start my quest to make sure the Reemerged stand on their feet firmly, and the world that has changed beyond recognition does not cowl the faint light of my people's hope.

Waking from a long slumber, the human known only as Alpha, a soldier from the old world, must make her way through a scorched earth with a small talking robot as her only companion. Avoiding malicious machines and Automaton Androids, her only hope of survival is within her own instincts.

They have reset him multiple times, but the wipe is incomplete. there is a memory... a memory that remains that affects his decisions that can not be erased. 9s in route C with a memory that affects his choices

After experiencing the full extent of the Emil copies' despair, 9S, 2A, 2B are thrown 1, 547 years back in time while being infused with magic in the process. Joining Nier, Grimmoire Weiss, and their friends on their journey to defeat the Shadowlord and save humanity, the three combat androids find themselves receiving an education on both the Old World and the human experience.

Nier hated that his friends couldn't stay in the village. One night during their adventures, Nier and Weiss decide to join Kaine and Emil at the campfire. Bonds between friends grow even stronger that night. (Brother Nier is used for the story.)

Just your regular run of the mill, human is actually alive in nier fanfiction. WOOO

Destiny diverges when a white tower suddenly manifests before 9S and 2B, containing the greatest enemy they've ever fought. Time travel. Fixit fic. Reimagining of Ending D. Everyone lives. Cross-post from ao3
