A game of chess has two queens, both trying to checkmate the opposing king. Soubu High also has two queens, but unlike in chess, each is trying to checkmate their own king. But if one queen failed in her endeavor, pushing her king away, there would only be one king left on the board. And Hikigaya Hachiman is about to find out what it's like to be the sole king on the board.

The Game... wasn't fair. The deck was stacked from the beginning. Joker did his best, he tried his best, he managed to win... so where was his reward? He was went 'home'... and he was alone.He did his best, but decided he needed one last act of Rebellion. Luckily a force of free will decided to give him a second try. Let's try this game again, the Wild Card was in play. Joker/Harem

Subaru was so sure he was going to be the hero here. Luckily something wants him to be. Something wants him to be just as important as he always dreamed of being. It even wants to give him a throne. When Emilia is about to be disqualified from the royal selection Subaru comes up with a clever plan to keep her in the contest by courting the beautiful half elf.

It's the same place they left, but Dipper and Mabel aren't the same kids who left it. A story of the uneven after: new friends, new family, and the promise of a new tomorrow. (Gradual Dipcifica, Mystery Twins bonding, family ties, weird science, and the Power of Friendship—anthyding can hadplen!) Book Three: a map to nameless stars (In Progress)

Midoriya Izuku has a rather odd Quirk. One that was so powerful it should have been obvious, but it wasn't. When he finally discovers what his Quirk can do he's ostracized even more by his peers; for fear that they'll lose their 'individuality'. But with some kind words and the belief of others Izuku is going to become a Hero! Not just any Hero either! The Greatest Hero: Synthesis!

Tired of spending a life studying to reach an empty future, Asuna enters Sword Art Online, a world of swords and airships, to gain some measure of freedom. When she is trapped, she throws herself into building a new life for herself, as far from what her parents intended as she can. Meeting a dark swordsman sets her on a new course, in Aincrad's skies...

What happens if Subaru's adventure was to be known to everyone? What would change? Spoilers for the anime and the novels. Special thanks to Wishful Witch on reddit for the cover art. Enjoy!

Lazy!Harry is back, although he has lost his way a bit.

To regain a fraction of his humanity, Ainz attempts to create a spell capable of countering his emotion suppressor: but the incantation is more potent than expected, and Suzuki Satoru finds himself irreversibly restored, in the flesh! As more and more people find out and misinterpret the transformation's purpose, will Ainz be able to uphold his façade as the infallible Overlord?

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.

Naruto's reaction to his isolation is different from canon. How will Konoha deal with a Seal Master Jinchuuriki with muted affect and a perverted streak a mile wide? (Up for Adoption... if your pen is nice)

Apotheosis, the highest point in the development of something or if you prefer, the elevation of someone to divine status. "Fun isn't something one considers when trying to create a better world", Izuku smirked as he held up his gauntlet covered fist. "But this does put a smile on my face". Villain Izuku, eventually OP as hell. Infinity Gauntlet AU.

Ignored by his friends, humiliated by the ministry, hated by the public, and hunted by his enemies... Suffering under a weight that threatened to shatter him, the mind arts finally gave him a tool to strike back to the world. And he was going to use it, no matter the consequences. (Harry X Multi, Lemons)

Kazuma always said his party was useless, but he never did anything about it. One day, he decides to stop thinking about what he wants, and start thinking about what the girls want. And more importantly, how he can use that to his advantage.

Sage If. A rash decision in the Corridor of Memories sends Subaru back to Zero. Subaru/Emilia. Cover art by quimser.

[AU] It was the school break before his first year in Sobu High and Hikigaya Hachiman was deep in thought. He realized that as of now, he was pretty pathetic and led a bland life. So, he decided that he is going to change that. UPDATED! :)

In Echidna's unending curiosity she decides to end her contract with Subaru. After this, another witch steps in and returns him all the way back to zero.

His sister may have been given the Kyuubi, but armed with Namikaze Minato's greatest sealing masterpiece, Uzumaki Naruto will carve his way through the shinobi world- one body at a time.

As a child, Izuku decided it would be better if he were Quirkless than to have a power that scared everyone. Now a teenager and looking to enter U.A, he finds himself as the protege of All Might and a student of the best heroes in the nation- but there's no running from a part of you, and he's learning the hard way that you have to accept all of yourself to be a real hero.

Emilia wakes up prematurely and finds herself trapped in ice. Countless years pass as she slowly begins to lose sight of who she once was. After centuries of waiting, she is finally freed from her prison. Now, her personality warped and twisted, Emilia embarks on a quest for power that will shake the foundations of the continent. Nothing will stand in her way. [AU/Canon Divergence]

Things went a little differently on that first day of the death game. Before Kayaba's announcement, Kirito had PKed another player. An action that permanently changed his cursor to orange. Now he's a criminal. The other players will hunt him down for that. The NPCs will refuse him service. He won't be able to trade with anyone anymore. He was completely alone now. Slight AU.

Below the Augria Sand dunes, in search of a way to reach the Pleiades Watchtower, Subaru makes a rash decision that unexpectedly changes him forever. This is a story about what might have happened if Subaru had used Return by Death to become truly powerful.

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**

On the verge of losing all hope, young teen Hikigaya Hachiman was saved by a chance meeting. From that day forth, he was given an invincible way of life. It's quite simple: the key to ultimate power is to not give a damn. And so, a hedonist arrives at Soubu High...

Nobody deserves to be alone. To change the fate of the world, and to forever change Natsuki Subaru's fate, everyone will see just what he has suffered. They will finally see his trials, and many will finally learn just what the true essence of their hero is. What will happen? What will change? Let's find those answers for ourselves. Spoilers for EVERYTHING ahead.

Kazuma has been accused of being a terrorist, and everyone easily turns away and leaves him to fend for himself. He manages to escape from the authorities, and runs away from Axel. The prosecutor informs everyone of the event, and kazuma's party freaks over the missing leader. Where is he? Is he okay? What now?

A twist on the Monika-IRL stories finds her entering the real world only to find that the boy of her dreams is actually a grumpy, foul-mouthed man in his thirties with a wife and children.

Izuku had always admired Heroes, but when an offer to watch one up close comes in from an unlikely source his views changed. Can he stop his admiration from changing into love? Does he even want to stop it? Watch as Izuku chases after the bunny from her shadow. Izuku x Rumi (Miruko) Eventual 18 plus

Akira Kurusu. Delinquent. Thief. Leader. Hero. Who is he? How many masks can one man wear?

Kazuma was, to put it simply, a fucked up guy. Even the professionals said so. A 'psyochpath', they called him, and well - they weren't wrong. Lying, manipulating, stealing, cheating - it all came as second nature. A man like this, suddenly in a world far more lax than his own; what havoc could he cause? Why don't we find out. (REWRITE)

It was Mei Hatsume who told Izuku Midoriya that he could be a hero, with her help of course. Desperate to have someone believe in him, Izuku decides that to realize his dreams, he'll need to make himself into a hero with the help of this odd girl. Together, these people once rejected for not fitting the mold will find themselves becoming the foundations of hero society.

(On Hiatus - Reason in reviews! Wish you all the best!) AU-Fiction. Forgetting his most recent meeting with Echidna, Subaru is approached by Satella at his absolute lowest point. Being taken by the Witch, he is then given an opportunity, a chance to start from Zero... with Satella's help?

On his way training from his home, Naruto is suddenly brought to another world and he tries to figure out what has happened. No reason why is he here? This new world filled with demonic beasts, monsters and witches.

Many people wish their lives could become a videogame...the thing is, though, few actually bother specifying WHICH type of game. Kirigaya Kazuto will realize it's not as 'obvious' as it should be when he wakes up one day with the 'power' to raise 'Flags', unlock 'Routes' and gain 'Affection Points'. Will his Sanity survive what's about to come his way...?

When quirks appeared, humanity dealt with the greatest power shift it had seen in millennia. The sudden change gave women powers never seen before, but men were left behind. It was an age of heroes. Now 200 years later, the rest of humanity began to catch up... and it all started with a man gifted with Total Command over every function of his body.

Hikigaya under certain circumstances is alone again. But as always, someone... somewhat... somehow finds a way to break this solitude.

Lines blur between the real world and the virtual world as Kirito is trapped inside a death game. Kirito, however, has something else on his mind: "Eighty-thousand players and I run into Argo of all people? What rotten luck." NOTE: Alternate Universe

In which a Mother's prayer is answered, a child's birthright is not denied to him, and his life is forever changed as a result. Features a more confident Izuku, a slightly nicer Bakugo, and a certain No. 2 Hero taking an interest. Rated M for language, violence, and safety purposes.

Subaru is given a chance to share his story- but only with one person. Spoilers for on-going season 2, minor spoilers for arc 5 (season 3?). Returning readers should read from the beginning for the best experience.

Emilia, Puck, Ram, and Rem were transported into a white room with a set of a chairs and a red curtain. There they met a strange man who looks like Subaru but calls himself "Pleiades" and offers them to watch a show. It is a show that will forever change them, and Pleiades has secrets that had purposely hidden from them. What will happen? (Will include characters if need be)

Kazuma Sato is celebrated as the legendary Hero who defeated the Devil King. Many have heard his tale from the Chronicles of Eris or the Royal Archives. Now, however, I have a chance to share Kazuma's own words, complied from his own notes, found after his death last spring. While some would expect his autobiography to be self aggrandizing, I have found quite the opposite. -NS

Link is no one's idea of a hero, not even close. But when darkness falls over Hyrule, he is thrown into a perilous adventure that will teach him the virtue of courage and set him on the road to becoming a man. (M for violence, coarse language and adult themes)

A Mulligan, a second chance to perform an action, usually after the first went wrong through bad luck or a blunder. A second chance is sometimes needed when the Gods have turned their backs on those who need it most. By a slip of fate, that second chance is born in the form of a man who leaves the the roll of the dice only to himself. The time to call for a Mulligan is now.

Growing up, everyone has to at some point in their lives; and for the resident loner of Sobu High, his time has come as well. A small change and a gentle nudge during the break between his second and third year will force one Hachiman Hikigaya to finally 'grow up.' (OOC)

A peculiar request from an unexpected acquaintance pressures Hachiman into joining her part-time gig. Unbeknownst to him, however, the girl's true intentions may be far more profound and convoluted than he might have anticipated.

Lelouch thought his life over as the sword stabbed him. Instead, he woke up in a different world without his people, his power, and his money. Turning to the magic of this world to achieve his goals, Lelouch begins a crusade when the people he left behind are threatened. Even if it meant dying over and over again to achieve his goals.

Not going to school would have been way too much effort, and besides, Harry had promised that since last year was a bit boring, he was going to not try to avoid everything this year..

He had been captured; Alex Mercer knew that much was obvious. But if that was the case, why had his captors just left him there without security? How had he ended up in a bunker buried in some kind of giant desert? Where was everyone? And when the hell did bottlecaps become currency?

Life as a ninja. It starts with confusion and terror and doesn't get any better from there. OC Self-insert. No pairings.

Chance meetings can sometimes change a life. But who would have thought that just by meeting a cute girl at the train station, Kazuto's life would change this much? (Kirito/Harem)

Luckily, lazy came up in Petunia's tirades slightly more often than freak, otherwise, this could have been a very different story. AU. Not your usual Hufflepuff!Harry story.

Sequel - Read the others first, of course. Lazy!harry is back for another year of doing nothing. This will not be a long story. Sorry for the wait.

When Subaru was discovering whether or not he could use magic, Puck told him it seemed like he didn't have a gate. Despite being told that it would be useless for him to even try to use magic since he didn't have one, he attempted anyway, something switched on, something like electric circuits. Perhaps, just perhaps, he could actually be a hero and save everyone.

He KNEW this was some sort of karmic joke. He shouldn't have laughed at other's seemingly 'silly' problem, even if said other was a fictional character. Now, he was forced to accept that, yes, ending everything with one punch could get frustrating, especially for a Gamer. Then again, when trapped inside a game where Death is very much real, that can only be a good thing...right?

In a world with a pragmatic, intelligent Voldemort, Harry discovers that he has the power to live, die and repeat until he gets it right.

They say a true friend is someone you can rely on when everything seems hopeless, and for Shino, that person was Kazuto Kirigaya, her best - and only - friend. But Shino didn't want to rely on Kazuto as much as she did, so when beta testing opened for a new game called Sword Art Online, she submitted an application...

Cloud's first thought on waking in the Shinra training grounds..."Where's the hidden camera?". What is one supposed to do when they find themselves inexplicably in the past? Become a terrorist four years early, of course. And look up a few old friends.

Pre-TLG/Non-TLG compliant. Basically me obsessing over TAC & wanting to know what happens as Arty recovers, so this is my take on it. Picks up right after the last scene of TAC. I'm a sap & a drama queen but there is a plot. T as of Chap 14. Eventual A/H, but the romance really isn't the main focus, hence it not being 1 of the genres. Cover art courtesy of ArtyDanna on deviantart.

Rather than a castle floating in the sky, Kayaba Akihiko has created a world where the dead refuse to stay put in their graves. Players fight to reclaim Aincrad, a massive city spanning 100 districts, from the grasp of the undead. But when they find themselves trapped in this nightmarish world, zombie-hunting ceases to be all fun and games. Welcome to SLD. Follows Kirito and Sinon.

I'm sick of the manipulation, the lies and the deceit; sick of jumping to the tune of dark lords and old puppeteers. I'm cutting the strings. Innocents will pay in blood for my defiance, but I no longer care. I lost my innocence long ago. Dark!Harry

Lazy!Harry is back, and not doing very much at all...

AU. Yes, the old Snape retrieves Harry from the Dursleys formula. I just had to write one. Everything changes, because the best revenge is living well. T for Mentor Snape's occasional naughty language. Supportive Minerva. Over three million hits!

So maybe everything didn't work out perfectly for Harry. Still, most of his friends survived, he'd gotten married, and was about to become a father. If only he'd have stayed away from the Veil, he wouldn't have had to go back and do everything AGAIN.

New Lesson: Nightmares - When a mythological monster that feeds off of nightmares decides to take over your school, the best course of action is... A. Develop insomnia. B. Push the snooze button on your alarm. C. Show him what nightmares are made of.

They've been there. They've done that. And they didn't even get a shirt to prove it. Reload - because sometimes things are just as they seem to be, and at times they are even more.
