alternate universe

Prologue: You Can't Take the Sky From Me The aircraft was a gleaming dagger of polished stainless steel and titanium, resting on the end of the tarmac like a coiled spring. Everything extraneous had been sheared away, from the second seat and console and her mighty rotary cannon, to the tiniest...

Look. Up there. See that? Up there, at the top. Yes, there. That thing we call a summary, or a description. If you're still here after that, or if you clicked on the story and only now see it but still decided to stay, welcome. First off, The Characters: Emiya Shirou has a supporting role in...

Crossposting this from AH. I've been working on a guide to various technologies, reforms, concepts, locations of natural resources, etc. that could be used as a shared resource and index for people looking to write an SI, whether that be a reincarnation Isekai or an ASB alternate history...

Chapter 1: Yadda Yadda War No one on Planet CN saw Lord Fuse and his dreaded Fusions coming. They arrived, claiming to want peace. They quickly showed their true colors, attacking when everyone trusted them and least expected it. A huge war broke out. Many lives were claimed. Eventually, into...

It was an average day in a normal, unassuming abandoned dog food factory. A generic looking thug gulped as he gave a secret knock (hitting three distinct spots, followed by a kick) and waited to be let in. "You have a lot of nerve coming here, Mr. Sakana." A yellow-eyed blonde of average...

Hi Folks, I have been reading this thread recently, Sympathy for the heretic and it got me thinking on Chaos. I have always loved the style of Chaos. It is a faction with metal aesthetics and bloodthirsty champions leading ravenous armies of destruction. Murderously cool, and the philosophy of...

Magic was all but dead. The Earth had slowly lost the boundless, unknowable spark of chaos that had shattered the dull, boring nothing before everything; before magic had jump-started the cosmos into existence. The beings of Earth slowly lost the wonder of adventure, of needing to know what was...

Korra, the Avatar (Scenario) Your name is Korra and you are the Avatar. “Master” of all four elements, resident of Republic City, and the protector of the Artificial Spirit Portal... although if you’re being honest, you have no desire to actually do that last thing. None at all. Not after...

The world of a shinobi is a dangerous one. In this world a child grows and learns the art of a soldier, learns to bring death upon those his commanders deem their, and by extension his enemies. That child grows and becomes a shinobi: an infiltrator, an assassin, a spy, a soldier, a commander, an...

1 At this point, there was enough liquor pumping through Taylor's system that it was getting difficult to distinguish her left from her other left. She stumbled through the halls of Winslow, giving dopey smiles to everyone whose path she crossed. She saved her widest, bestest smiles for Emma...

Hi folks. It's been a long time since I sat and wrote fanfiction, but I've had an itch to scratch for writing a Ranko fic for a long time, made especially clear by cleaning out the vaults of AO3 and FFnet for them. As a heads up, and because it's going to be blindingly obvious this is an...

Waking up after a short nap is always interesting. Especially when you realize you aren’t where you went to sleep. Even more so when you’re pretty sure you got kidnapped, and that someone’s raiding the place you got kidnapped to. That or I woke up in the middle of a warzone, because all those...

Old Conductor, Possessed Anew Prologue In the year 2077 A.D., the confrontation between the two giants of the world was coming to a close. The American Eagle had ejected the Chinese Bear from it's lands in Alaska, and had attacked their homeland in turn. As one army speared through the...

Joffrey 1: A Small Beginning It was… a small thing, to just stand and wait. A small thing indeed, do no know what may become of your life. You were born a Prince, a Prince of a kingdom that was fractured for decades by war and rebellion, brought together again, by the Blood and Iron, and...

Prologue The first time I had met the man, I was seven. I was playing in the backyard and without a word he sat down next to me. To this day I remember thinking how he was the tallest person I’ve ever met and that he looked pretty awesome in that black cloak. Despite his silence we hit it...

Hello, It's once again that time of year for me to try my hand at writing, and I'll freely admit this is likely a pretty poorly thought out crossover idea that likely will die before it is finished. What this is first and foremost is practice at writing consistently, quality can come later...

Shiny & Chrome By Chairtastic. Summary: The story of the universe is one tragedy after another. By looking at the facts, one would see life as nothing but chronic and sustained cruelty. But life is worth living, even if it hurts -- as there is music, there is art, there is companionship. And...

Hello! This is my first time posting on SI! not first-time writing in general but eh. Anyways, I have lurked around, read some stories, all that stuff, and had this stuck in my head for months I just had to start writing this. Anyways, I've somehow already screwed up this story a bit and...

Taylor Hebert awoke to darkness. It was soothing, yet very foreign. The dark had become a companion to her during the last hours she could remember. Her memory was slightly foggy, and she was sure she had passed out. This darkness was different. The darkness in her most recent memory had been...

_____________________________ I wanted it to be a day like any other. One where I came home from school, Mom would greet me on the way in, saying she bought dinner. I’d do my homework, write in my journal, then go to bed. Mom was usually busy with work, and I understood that. I always understood...

In another story, a child leaving an orphanage would be paired with yelling crowds of happy children, and a knapsack of goods slung over the back of the young man who walked off down the trail. The adventure has begun at dawn, and the hero steps into the unknown. Having a kid kicked out of an...

No one can truly tell you what dying feels like. The hope of a better next life, the crushing disappointment in ones’ self, the desire to do more, the burning need to say goodbye one last time… All these emotions and more poured through me as I laid dying on the floor of a local store, my...

There is something relaxing about the night sky, you think to yourself. When you are up here, laying on the roof of your home, you don't have to think about your life, you don't have to worry about your problems, you can just put everything to the side and just... be. Of course, you know that...

Gary Oak gets an e-mail from Professor Aurea Juniper about a conference of Pokémon professors and researchers, and attends alongside his grandfather. They arrive, not suspecting that a shadow lurks among the attendees. ----- Work title is from "The Brave Old Oak", by Henry Fothergill Chorely: A...
