    Summary

    Taylor wasn't as lucky in February of 2011 when Sophia urged those boys to chase her. She was forced to defend herself, an action that brought her attention from the Protectorate. Wrong conclusions were made, and Taylor faced a choice of just how she would deal with being a probationary Ward.

    Years later, after Sophia's perfidy was revealed, the rest of the ENE has to deal with just what that choice meant.

    Summary

    Most people trigger in dramatic moments, where their or their loved ones' lives are on the line, or when something truly calamitous has happened to up-end their otherwise peaceful life.

    For Thomas McCarthy? It took him a week after his mother's death before it all sunk in and he triggered at the empty breakfast table. Side effects can include but are not limited to: Tormented visions of the apocalyptic future, social isolation, taking on a 'radical' and 'lethal' approach to crime-fighting, becoming a wanted fugitive, struggling to figure out what the right thing is, failing at being a teenager, failing even worse at 'getting the girl'.

    But hey, at least Thomas gets to look cool on videos uploaded to the PHO forums.

    Summary

    What if the world's most expected, anticipated vrmmorpg turned out to be the largest, cruelest experiment ever? What if the world's biggest genius turned out to be a sick sociopath? What if 10.000 men and women, children and elderly were trapped in a castle in the sky? What if your life didn't belong only to you? What if fighting was your only option? What if... That was you?

    ---------------------

    Disclaimers on the first chapter because of character limit, but here is the short of it: MC is a normal guy trapped in SAO, no previous knowledge or anything like that. Romance but no smut, and no harem. The plan is to write all 100 floors of Aincrad and beyond. Slow start following canon, but deviates in minor and major ways with big consequences.

    This was originally posted on Webnovel and Royalroad starting about 3 years ago, and continuing to this day. It's already at chapter 232 as of this note, and going to take a while to catch up here on Ao3 since I'm taking the chance to fix some things.

    Finally, I haven't read the fic Unyielding (I don't read fics of fandoms I'm currently writing). I say that because I know you will bring it up. Any and all similarities are just two great minds thinking alike.
