In one universe, Argo is delayed from starting a quest on the 22nd floor by a scam involving smuggled potions. In this universe, she isn't. One week later, Kirito and Asuna rescue her.

The stories that don't or won't, for whatever reason, make it into An Englishman in Castle Aincrad. Not every story has to be clashing blades, bad jokes and political machinations... some are just quiet moments, and others, uhh, less so. These are those parts to the story...

Kaylee Grimm, stuck as a background character who is stuck in a video game.

The lapses in her memory couldn't be some dream or joke. Somehow, Asuna Yuki had lost her memories of the past four years. Four years of experiences that she only had the vague inkingly of. People she didn't remember, a place she vaguely remembered as a beautiful forest complete with a small cabin and a family of her own. Who she didn't remember. (2022 Rewrite of Lost Memories)

Remnants of the Death Game still linger within ALO and New Aincrad. One such remnant is still within the digital prison, unable to return to the mortal realm, forever trapped and doomed to suffer for eternity. That is, until Kirito and Asuna are informed of their existence...

Sometimes opposites attract, but... is this set of opposites really all that opposite? Or is there really a lot of common ground between them? Collection of one-shots centered around Liz x Sinon.

Kirito and Asuna still have a lot to do, even though the SAO crisis is over. Kirito has a lot to deal with, and Asuna is there for him until the end. But what is the end? I'm rating this M so that I can write lemon(s) if I feel like it, but I don't know that I will. If I do, there'll be warnings of course.

Based on the game Re:Hollow Fragment. After reaching the 76th floor of Aincrad, the Assault Team is in disarray. There are too many issues to handle: Heathcliff's secret identity, a huge system error and new, inexperienced players arriving at the frontlines, even from outside the game! Help arrives in form of a player who's experienced in training other players.

The life of a frontline player isn't easy nor is it cheap. So much money spent on everyday items, on rooms to spend the night, food, potions, and most importantly gear repairs. Asuna is finding herself a little broke but an unexpected opportunity leads her to profit from an until now unknown business avenue. After all what thousands of horny teenagers need more then an E-girl?

It was dumb luck that saw Kari play Sword Art Online when it came out. Her roommate was the one interested, but she wasn't able to play it, telling her to take advantage of the release of the game and experience it for herself. Now, while everyone else was grinding and fighting, she was trying to figure out how she could turn the game into something better...a trading sim!

a Kirito x Harem Story, When Quinella, ruler of the Human Empire and Leader of the Axiom Church, sends 2 of her Integrity Knights to apprehend an Elite Swordsman Disciple and 2 Valets for breaking the Taboo Index, they are intercepted by fellow Elite Swordswomen in Training who are then captured, can the Elite Swordsman Disciple rescue them? Tune in to find out...

Sinon had faced many horrors in her time in Gun Gale Online: slavers, raiders, mutants, blood machines, and transhuman warriors. But turning into a cat was a new one. Why does she continue playing this stupid game? It also didn't help that Kirito kept scratching her ears. (KiriSinon)

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**

The AmuSphere is nothing like the Nerve Gear. With safeguards in place to protect the users bodies, everyone thinks that there's no danger. However, after a pair of players playing a new Horror VRMMO based on the works of HP Lovecraft go berserk and kill their guild-mates IRL, it soon becomes clear that it's now the players minds that are on the line.

A multiple-perspective story of Aincrad starting from scratch, with both new and cannon mechanics of the original stories. Follow the original cast and new in their progress through each floor. Inspired by progressive novels, season 1 & 2, Material editions and more. Slightly AU.

Reincarnated as a Girl? In the Sword Art Online Universe? What a life. [ Slow to Update, Author is a bot. ]

The madman did it. He really trapped us all in here like mice in a maze. And all for his own amusement. He wants everyone to clear the game? Then we're gonna do just that. And hopefully, we won't have to go it alone.

With the Black Swordsman appearing in the world of exorcists and demons under mysterious circumstances after a decisive battle, some events might not go as they were supposed to. Perhaps becoming an exorcist himself and collaborating with a certain black-haired nephilim and his friends will help him get back to his world... SAO and Ao no Exorcist crossover. Mixed anime/manga canon

what happens when aincrad finds itself and its resedance in a new and unstable dimension ruled by vampires and othe supernatural creatures will the ruler of aincrad survive the vamp city

Those trapped in Sword Art Online face a myriad of problems, both physical and psychological. The presence of fear is not often discussed in a bright world of color. Desperation, hatred and fear take hold of man. An unraveling of such emotions takes much. The unmentioned dark side of a world is brought to the forefront. Follow the one who navigates the true shadows of this world.

Trapped within the death game Sword Art Online, Asuna Yuuki has all but given up hope of escaping. But when she'd rescued from certain death by a mysterious swordswoman, she might find a reason to keep moving forward. Together, they might be able to free the other players from Aincrad.

AU. A minor flaw in Kayaba's plan has allowed one out of every 250 players who die in Sword Art Online to return to the real world instead of dying. So when Kirito finally clears the game and logs out, he is surprised to see a familiar girl of blue waiting for him. "Sa...Sa...chi...?" Kirito/Sachi, Kirito/Asuna, multiple other ships! R&R! LONGER SUMMARY INSIDE! RATING MAY CHANGE!

After being trapped in his office for three years, one year longer than the SAO incident, Iruka Pride was given a LONG paid vacation. However, he gets a message from an old friend asking him to help her in a game called Gun Gale Online. What will happen when they meet up? Based on the game Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet.
