I fell asleep right as the final episode of season two ended. But when I woke up the next morning, SAO ceased to exist. It was as if it was a figment of my imagination. However, three months later, with the announcement of the newest generation of VR gaming consoles, I'm starting to wonder if I wasn't going crazy after all.

"We were born on the same year, and we will be together to our last." That was the promise the four friends had made. But when they world threatens to tear them apart, will Kirito, Eugeo, Asuna, and Alice overcome the world to fulfill their promise? AU

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

Sequel to Death Wish. Asuna was finally free to find Kirito, or was she?

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.

Kirito goes to heaven. He is Jesus.

A player named Kuro is working on keeping his promise to become the hero of Aincrad. Even though it seems like a difficult task, He has found a guild of new friends that will help him see that promise to the end...The only question is...Will he make it to the end?

After the First Floor Boss Fight, Kirito deals with Kibaou in a different way. This leads to him meeting a number of Players who play SAO in their own unique ways. AU which diverges significantly from Canon. Chapter 6 up

War-Torn: An American VRMMORPG taking place in a Fantasy World War II has just been released in Japan! Kirito and his friends hop into this new world where victory is earned through guns and guts rather than sword and shield. Join them in their new adventures alongside new friends and allies as they fight their way forward in War-Torn!

It was long thought that Aincrad was dead. Offline, deleted. But when a anonymous tipper on 2chan exclaimed that there is strange people still inside the servers of Aincrad. Supposedly a cult. This gets the attention of Asuna which asks Kirito if they could venture back into Aincrad to investigate. This was their worst mistake they could ever make.

A rewrite of my story I Will Not Bow, going through Aincrad floor by floor. Sword Art Online was a revolutional game, with Ren being one of the ten thousand people logging on. But when the game turns into a deadly nightmare, he will have to fight for his freedom, making friends of all sorts along the way. Will he make it out, or die trying?

Please read the other story under the same name, more detailed in that version.

A Knights of the Blood member's brief yet horrifying encounter with evil drives him to take action against those who have wronged him, leading to the creation of a team dedicated to weeding out and eliminating player killers. Yet his team soon discover that their true enemies may lie closer than they expected: within their guild, within their teammates... and within themselves.

Alice Zuberg, a living mortal girl, is the eldest daughter to a wealthy family that specializes in VRMMORPG games, is caught in the game of pure survival. Sword Art Online. Finding pure freedom in this opportunity due to the circumstances of her real life that she found absolutely miserable was a blessing. Once released from the game, the lines of virtual and reality began to blur.

"T-There's just so much beauty in the world, you know...?" Despite the hardships SAO's cast face, there's always one thing keeping our heroes tethered to reality: the undeniable power of love. In the same vein as GFL: ADL, this anthology is all about the intimate relations between the LWS' cast.

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.

He did it. He beat Akihiko Kayaba and saved everyone. Except, he didn't. Asuna gives her life to protect Kirito, and with her death comes grief, anger, and a whole swirl of emotions. Now drowning in his sorrow, Kazuto struggles to live life day by day. Suguha takes notice of this and decides that it's time she does something for her brother before the unthinkable happens.

ALO has opened a new territory to explore: Asgard!

Kirito and Asuna finally got married in real life one year after war of underworld and made a happy life together, but after 6 years, Seijirou tells him about an ancient demon in Japan who wants to destroy the world! Kirito, Alice and Eiji team up to stop those people who are trying too unlease the devil in the world.

In one universe, Kirito is known as the Black Swordsman and is the lone wolf of Aincrad. In this universe, Kirito will be the most envied player in all of Aincrad as the leader of the most elite guild in the game... by the male population. The cause of the envy? The guild he leads is entirely comprised of female players! Aged up characters. Kirito/Harem

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**

Toshi and his sister both went into to SAO, but only Toshi escaped alive. Why? It's his fault that she's dead; the Black Swordsman, Kirito, wouldn't help save her. When the death game ends, Toshi is forced to reckon with the swordsman that he loathes more than anyone. But, how can he move on? Is he worthy of forgiveness, or was the price of the crime too great? I do not own SAO.

Climbing Aincrad was a daunting proposition, even on its own without the threat of death hanging above. Add to that murderers, spiraling mysteries on the horizon, and more personal struggles than anyone could ever ask for… there was a hell of a challenge in store for Rei and the others. (Slight AU, OC focus)

In a world where Kirito is awesome, chicks will fall for him.

The year is 2022. The launch of the newest game in FullDive's Sword Art series, "Sword Art Online" has been released. Only thing is that the players can't log out. Watch an old tale be told in a new and different way than you expect it. Link Start. (Based on multiple canons. Very much an AU. Slow to update.)
