They never meant to end up like this. Kirito, a former pariah turned a hollow husk after the disaster of SAO. Quinella, a girl whose ambition turned her into a monster. Although enemies at first, a misfortunate set of events will force them to work together if they hope to protect the world they came to love. And maybe, just maybe, together they shall mend their scars.

Kazuto wanted answers... why did this happen? why do they exist and prey on us? Tell me child, are you content living in a birdcage? and that alone sparked interest in him

Kirigaya "Kirito" Kazuto had every intention of playing Sword Art Online as a solo player. When he unexpectedly makes friends on launch day, the fate of Aincrad will forever change as the lone wolf becomes a pack leader. This isn't the Aincrad you know and love. (Canon divergence, new game elements, new characters, multiple PoVs, & glimpses into the real world.)

Ruminant le passé pendant plus de six ans, Alice Züberg est une femme résignée depuis que son ami d'enfance, Eugeo, a été emmené à la capitale de Centoria. Depuis, Alice n'a aucun espoir de récupérer ce souvenir perdu … jusqu'à qu'elle rencontre une égarée de Vector dans la forêt de Rulid, son nom est Asuna.

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)

Normally a story only focuses on one person throughout its entirety, but this is not that story. Instead, this story is about the people who helped the "Main Protagonist" from the Shadows and those around him. Their names never known, nor their sacrifices ever told. I hope you are prepared for what's in store, cause I sure don't.

In a world where the city of SBC Glocken and the world of Gun Gale Online is reality and not just a VRMMORPG, Bullet of Bullets alumna Sinon is drawn out of retirement and into the belly of the criminal underworld of Glocken after an attempt on her life goes horribly awry.

The story of Diavel from SAO. Had a dream a few months ago about this character how he could use some character development. Will he find his will to live despite not being able to die?

Ren Togetsu and his brother Yu find themselves trapped in the video game 'Sword Art Online'. With the world on the brink of war. Can the ten thousand players come together to escape?

Having lost everyone close to him, he embarks on a journey to heal his broken soul, and find peace. With the support of Kirito and his friends, he shall embark on a new adventure in Alfheim Online.

El amor siempre ha sido difícil, especialmente cuando debes casarte con un hombre de gran apellido para cumplir con las espectativas de los padres. Duques, intrigas, guerra. Kirito futuro duque. Eugeo el hermano menor en quien nadie tiene mucha confianza. Asuna la mujer que debe casarse para elevar a su familia a la socialite londinense. AU SAO 1700

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 smut if I feel like it, but I don't know that I will. If I do, there'll be warnings of course.

Set during the events of Sword Art Online: Alicization, Adam Synthesis Fourteen is a young knight who is gifted in the art of combat, but his anger hinders him from becoming a better knight. Going a journey of self discovery, Adam will have to face his inner demons if he is going to save the people he cares about as war wages between the Human Empire and the Dark Territory.

The story is based on the game SAO integral factor in where you roleplay as a player trapped in the death game along 10,000 other players, the story goes with fanmade plot points, some changes were made as well as dialogues, the story is based on (You) the main protagonist and your partner Koharu Honda, will you be able tu survive along with her and your friends and return home?

The tale of the Black Swordsman, a mischievous Rat, and the water Shinobi; before they were renowned by those names by both sides of the coin before they were faced with a monumental task, they were just Beta Testers, misfits. The story of Kirito, Argo, and Nagi began long before the Death Game and the memories throughout Aincrad.

A month has passed since their experience with 'Ordinal Scale' and the others talked about it while they teach swimming lessons with Yuuki.

Using all his power, Kirito was barely able to save the lives of his guildmates, but his guilt of putting them in danger drove him to leave them anyways. However, he did not have to return to be a solo player, as there is someone who will always stay by his side. "Nothing is your fault," she assured him as they left together. (Kirito x Sachi)

Kirito, Asuna, Jaymes, and Koharu continue their progression up the lower levels of Aincrad and embark on the Elf War Campaign with their new friend Kizmel. Up ahead lies three new levels, more fighting between the DKB and ALS, a new party member from Asuna's past, a dangerous enemy of the elves, and a rising of players that seek to make death part of the game.

"No matter what happens, we'll all be together, and we'll never stop fighting." The SAO cast have lived through so much and they'll always be together regardless of the game, world, and AU. Regardless of where their next adventure lies, they'll do it together. Collection of mostly One-shots AUs of romance, angst, fluff, humor, everything.

Their stories were meant to have come to a close. And yet, in a twist of fate, the tale of the three children begins anew, guided down a different road. Saving the world was never meant to be easy, but together, it might just be possible. Even if it meant defying fate and gods themselves.

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 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)

Due to an edited NerveGear and the will of the gods, Kazuto Kirigaya can now play life like a game. If only unlocking the power didn't mean two years in a virtual hellscape, it might be really good!

Dual Blades and Holy Sword...these two [Unique Skills] made their wielders stronger than their peers...imagine what the wielder of a third one could accomplish? Now has a TV Tropes Page! Which needs updating!

"Going into a dungeon? Fighting monsters? And getting dirty?" The merchant in silks laughed. "Why do that when you can hire mercenaries to do the job?" Kazuto Kirigaya doesn't like fighting, he likes making money. Much safer than swinging a sword at monsters, yuck! Besides, that was what his fearless Asuna was for anyway.
