There are many that would consider the world of Sword Art Online to be a prison. But for some, it could act as something else...as a home. The home of an odd player who hopes that he can overcome his own demons with the help of a few friends. Massive towers, a mysterious enemy, and a girl with chestnut-colored hair is what awaits Phantom in this Other World. Cover Art by Mataras

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)

"You know, Onii-chan, I had another dream last night. In my dream, there was a floating castle in the sky..." In which Akihiko Kayaba's dream was not his own, and the Death Game was instigated by a monster born out of that dream.

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.

What if Aincrad was made like a souls game, where every player only got 50 lives and once all 50 are used, you die in real life. Asuna's life seemed perfect, until she was forced into the game. Kazuto can't trust anyone and feels lied too about everything. So what happens when they meet up and decide to try and survive together.

This is a redraft of my one-shot fanfic, "Mother's Gift". Kirito gets invited to Asuna's to celebrate Christmas Eve with her family. Upon exchanging gifts, the Black Swordsman and the Yuuki family discover the true meaning of the holiday and how surprises can come in all shape and sizes. Set after Unital Ring. Kiriasu/Kirisuna

Kirito is severely injured during a mission in SAO, leaving Asuna to come to his rescue.

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)

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.

All of you know the story of Kirito, the Black Swordsman, and his adventures throughout SAO. What if I told you there was another hero that was involved as much as, if not more, than the main cast that we know and love? Join me on this incredible journey through the eyes of a game developer/admin who was also trapped into the death game with his siblings and our friends from SAO!

After the brutal 25th Floor Boss Raid, Asuna has left Kirito's side to join the Knights of Blood. With his partner gone, Kirito resigns himself to returning to the life of a solo player-until a familiar face from the lower floors unexpectedly reenters his life. The strangely-human NPC Kizmel, despite her quest being over, has returned to his side... Kirito/Kizmel.

Kirito and Asuna struggle with Yui's constant need for attention and annoying high-pitched voice.

This is a story of how I would've made Sword Art Online and the characters/plot I would add or take away to mold the story into how I like it

Asuna was always known as a straightforward one who pushed through to get what she wanted. But she was also gentle and kind, and understood other's pain more than anyone. To some, she was a radiant light, an ideal friend they could take comfort in. An outlook into the many friendships Yuuki Asuna has formed in her life.

"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.

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.

In the midst of an apocalypse, those blessed with 'gifts' have been able to survive. This is the story of a group of stragglers, desperate to make it to safety in the midst of the chaos around them. Leading them is Kazuto Kirigaya, an enigma destined to forever bear the burden of his newfound family on their journey. Watch as they survive, striving to find a place to call home.

Spending the summer at the villa with her family, Asuna is surprised to find herself stepping into the shoes of a professional hoofer named Kirito and find themselves unexpectedly falling in love.

"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. KiriHarem (Argo, Asuna, Sinon)

What if the first attempt to escape the first floor failed? Heroes die, survivors carry on and attempt to clear the game. Will feature characters from various SAO series and will not follow canon.

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.

As always, Kirito plays the beta of Sword Art Online, but this time he doesn't just meet a certain rat. With new and impressive help in Aincrad, Kirito will take the castle by storm with his friends and allies. Harem later in history. No regular updates. And maybe a big surprise for Kirito and friends later in the story (Much Humor)

Cardinal System that supervises Administrator System detects its block on Mental Health Counseling Program. Unable to override it, Cardinal creates a unique skill to help players, this time not for the most skilled player, but for the player with purest heart. First book of "Legend of the Silver Blade" series

Kirigaya Suguha decided that things could not continue as they were. She was going to reconnect with her brother, and what better way to do so than through the game that he had been a beta player in: Sword Art Online?
