Kyubey promised that humanity would reach the stars one day. The Incubator tactfully refrained from saying too much about what they would find there.

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**

Kuroko never doubted that her Onee-sama would come to her rescue. She just never imagined that there would come a time when that knowledge frightened her. Sometimes, knowing just how far someone is willing to go to help is worse than needing them in the first place, and Kuroko is about to learn that Mikoto may not be as sane as everyone thinks.

The threads of fate are twisted and severed, and one destiny is traded for another. An unexpected development at Mount Fake allows Tatsumi to follow a different road, one he now walks with General Esdeath by his side. But alone, the Jaegers and Night Raid stand no chance against the virulent corruption within the Capital. Two wolves, together on the hunt, must join their packs...

Ruby finds herself facing her end. As she pushes her semblance to new heights, the world breaks. In one fluid, crystallising moment everything changes. A 23 year old Ruby Rose, one of the deadliest hunters on Remnant, spills out of the void and into the dorm of team RWBY, including a 15 year old version of herself. A hunter in a world of unknowing prey. Cover courtesy of Majisuka!

Ruby Jones is as fast as she is cheerful. Anna Weiss is cold and regal. Bella Blake is quiet, mysterious, and never takes off her hat. Linda Anderson is flaming hot and goes by a Chinese name. All of them seem oddly familiar. Impossibly familiar. An interquel set immediately after Emergence.
