* GenderBender: One aspect of Shadow Magic is the Metamorphosis spell, which allows the caster or the target to change form. One of the capabilities of it is to change gender, which Rameses has had done to him by his sister for an as yet specified reason and left that way for two months. The change is also a complete change, meaning that if one's gender is changed, they are fully functional in that gender. Because of this, homosexuality was less stigmatized during the Silver Millennium due to one of the primary issues, the inability to produce children from such unions, not being a factor.

-->Asuna used to be a normal girl. But that was before she was trapped in the Death Game Sword Art Online. Now awake, she and her husband Kirito, must figure out the mystery behind the three hundred still sleeping Players. Can they do it while also being thrust into the Shadow War that has been going on behind the scenes for the last nine years in the Real World?\\
Summary of ''The Moon's Flash Princess Book 2: Waltz of the Unseelie Court''
''The Moon's Flash Princess'' is a ''Anime/SwordArtOnline''/''Anime/SailorMoon'' fanfiction series {{Crossover}} that posits the potential of what could happen if the ''Sword Art Online'' game was created in a world where the Senshi fight daily to keep the evil Dark Kingdom at bay.
The story itself in a similar way to the ''Progressive'' canon light novel: Kirito, going into the First Floor Labyrinth, encounters Asuna as she fights the local monsters and her own despair over being trapped in a deadly world. As the two forge deep bonds within the deadly virtual world, it becomes obvious that there is more to both of them, their friends and Aincrad that what is immediately apparent.
So far, this series is formed by the following stories:
* ''Book 1: Surviving Aincrad'' (Complete): The players of the virtual world of Aincrad, led by Kirito and Asuna, fight to free themselves from the trap they have found themselves in because of the actions of the Dark Kingdom, while Akihiko Kayaba attempts to aid the players as best as possible and the Senshi seek the one who can truly lead them in their war against the Dark Kingdom: the reincarnation of Princess Serenity.
* ''Book 2: Waltz of the Unseelie Court'' (Ongoing): Having managed to gain their freedom after the Final Boss was defeated, the Sword Art Online veterans now find themselves involved in the fight against the Dark Kingdom, but thanks to their time in the simulation their own powers have awakened, and they, their allies, and their leaders, Princess Asuna and Commander Kirito, are ready to defeat humanity's greatest enemy.

!!This Fanfiction series has examples of the following Tropes:
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Lind acknowledges that Kirito (who begins the story as a fourteen year old) reading the riot act to [[WeAreStrugglingTogether him and Kibaou]] during one of their pre-boss fight meetings was fun, and requests a friend to get a recording of the next time it happens.
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: [[spoiler:Kazuto's parents died in one of the first Youma attacks, instead of a car accident - and he not only witnessed the attack, but only survived thanks to a few magical words he had learned from his brother Akihiko.]]
* ArtificialIntelligence: Cardinal, Yui and Strea, like in canon.
** {{Averted}} with Kizmel. When her actions begin to become way too advanced for her expected limitations, Kayaba began to suspect that her real life counterpart (Princess Serenity's bodyguard, on whom he had modeled said character) was still alive. She was, and the Senshi bring her and her sister [[TheMedic Tilnel]] out of their [[HumanPopsicle cryogenic pods]] in the Moon.
* BadassNormal: Kathy Mills, Agil's wife, kills a Youma just with an axe.
* BadassPreacher: Boxy, a former Youma that becomes a Catholic priest, acts as a GoodShepherd to anyone that requests his help (no matter their religion) and is not afraid to fight with his bare hands in defense of others.
* BerserkButton: Kirito's is players in SAO killing other players even though they have been warned that it would kill them in real life. Of course, there's also threatening Asuna.
* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: {{Inverted}}. Kayaba's warning about players dying in RealLife if they died in the game was fundamental to ''prevent'' said deaths from happening. This is because the virus that caused SAO to become a Death Game had such a loophole.
** The SAO survivors' capacity to use their Sword Skills in real life seems to stem from this. [[spoiler:The fact that Asuna and Kazuto got married in SAO is enough for magic to consider them married in real life.]]
* ContrivedCoincidence: Suguha Kirigaya, while seeking a VR game to help her understand her brother Kazuto's love for such games, meets Kouichirou Yuuki, who not only is part of the company that is creating Alfheim Online, but also has access to his sister Asuna (Kazuto's LoveInterest)'s streaming of what's going on within Aincrad.
* CrushBlush: During their first weeks together, Kirito and Asuna blush whenever they look at each other, particularly if they are looking cute or adorable.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Kyouji Shinkawa (Shino's friend from the ''Gun Gale Online'' arc), appears during the SAO incident in the Youma attack on the Dicey Cafe.
* ExpansionPackPast: Several canon characters have more mentions to their past.
** Lind was an officer in the [[KaijuDefenseForce Japanese Self-Defense Forces]] before he got injured in Irak.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Princess Serenity killed herself to screw with the Dark Kingdom's plans.]]
* IHatePastMe: Variation. Several of the reincarnated characters have "zombie" versions of their past lives running around, working for the Dark Kingdom, and they all hate them. Reincarnated!Beryl, in particular, hopes to be able to destroy Queen Beryl.
** Asuna dislikes her memories of Serenity because they interfere with her own life.
* IHaveManyNames:
** Kirito's real name is Kazuto Kirigaya [[spoiler:formerly Kazuto Kayaba]], and he is nicknamed "The Black Swordsman", "[[AffectionateNickname The Dark Sun]]" and, most importantly, "[[CommandingCoolness The Commander]]".
** Asuna gets quite a few of her own. Kirito calls her "Asuna-hime" and "White Moon", her ''nom-de-guerre'' is "The Lightning Flash", but for the most part she is "The Princess".
* ItsOkayIfItsYou: The only person allowed to call Asuna "Asuna-hime" or "Princess" (to her face, at least) is Kirito.
* HeelFaceTurn: Several Youma have turned their backs on the Dark Kingdom.
** HeelFaithTurn: One of them, Boxy, got ordained as a Catholic priest.
* LadyAndKnight: How the relationship between Asuna and Kirito plays out.
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Akihiko Kayaba reveals to Kirito that they are siblings.]]
* MythologyGag: Kirito and Asuna get married and buy the log cabin in Aincrad's 22nd Floor.
* NotGoodWithPeople: Kirito states multiple times that he feels uncomfortable when talking to large groups of people. Unfortunately, events in Aincrad conspire against him.

* {{Reincarnation}}: Several characters are reincarnations of people from the past.

* ReluctantRuler: One thing Asuna and Kirito have in common is their reluctance to take the leadership positions pretty much everyone else knows they are fated to take.

Summary of ''The Moon's Flash Princess Book 1: Surviving Aincrad''
-->Asuna used to be a normal girl. But that was before she was trapped in the Death Game Sword Art Online. Now awake, she and her husband Kirito, must figure out the mystery behind the three hundred still sleeping Players. Can they do it while also being thrust into the Shadow War that has been going on behind the scenes for the last nine years in the Real World?\\
Summary of ''The Moon's Flash Princess Book 2: Waltz of the Unseelie Court''
''The Moon's Flash Princess'' is a ''Anime/SwordArtOnline''/''Anime/SailorMoon'' fanfiction series {{Crossover}} that posits the potential of what could happen if the ''Sword Art Online'' game was created in a world where the Senshi fight daily to keep the evil Dark Kingdom at bay.
The story itself in a similar way to the ''Progressive'' canon light novel: Kirito, going into the First Floor Labyrinth, encounters Asuna as she fights the local monsters and her own despair over being trapped in a deadly world. As the two forge deep bonds within the deadly virtual world, it becomes obvious that there is more to both of them, their friends and Aincrad that what is immediately apparent.
So far, this series is formed by the following stories:
* ''Book 1: Surviving Aincrad'' (Complete): The players of the virtual world of Aincrad, led by Kirito and Asuna, fight to free themselves from the trap they have found themselves in because of the actions of the Dark Kingdom, while Akihiko Kayaba attempts to aid the players as best as possible and the Senshi seek the one who can truly lead them in their war against the Dark Kingdom: the reincarnation of Princess Serenity.
* ''Book 2: Waltz of the Unseelie Court'' (Ongoing): Having managed to gain their freedom after the Final Boss was defeated, the Sword Art Online veterans now find themselves involved in the fight against the Dark Kingdom, but thanks to their time in the simulation their own powers have awakened, and they, their allies, and their leaders, Princess Asuna and Commander Kirito, are ready to defeat humanity's greatest enemy.

!!This Fanfiction series has examples of the following Tropes:
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Lind acknowledges that Kirito (who begins the story as a fourteen year old) reading the riot act to [[WeAreStrugglingTogether him and Kibaou]] during one of their pre-boss fight meetings was fun, and requests a friend to get a recording of the next time it happens.
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: [[spoiler:Kazuto's parents died in one of the first Youma attacks, instead of a car accident - and he not only witnessed the attack, but only survived thanks to a few magical words he had learned from his brother Akihiko.]]
* ArtificialIntelligence: Cardinal, Yui and Strea, like in canon.
** {{Averted}} with Kizmel. When her actions begin to become way too advanced for her expected limitations, Kayaba began to suspect that her real life counterpart (Princess Serenity's bodyguard, on whom he had modeled said character) was still alive. She was, and the Senshi bring her and her sister [[TheMedic Tilnel]] out of their [[HumanPopsicle cryogenic pods]] in the Moon.
* BadassNormal: Kathy Mills, Agil's wife, kills a Youma just with an axe.
* BadassPreacher: Boxy, a former Youma that becomes a Catholic priest, acts as a GoodShepherd to anyone that requests his help (no matter their religion) and is not afraid to fight with his bare hands in defense of others.
* BerserkButton: Kirito's is players in SAO killing other players even though they have been warned that it would kill them in real life. Of course, there's also threatening Asuna.
* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: {{Inverted}}. Kayaba's warning about players dying in RealLife if they died in the game was fundamental to ''prevent'' said deaths from happening. This is because the virus that caused SAO to become a Death Game had such a loophole.
** The SAO survivors' capacity to use their Sword Skills in real life seems to stem from this. [[spoiler:The fact that Asuna and Kazuto got married in SAO is enough for magic to consider them married in real life.]]
* ContrivedCoincidence: Suguha Kirigaya, while seeking a VR game to help her understand her brother Kazuto's love for such games, meets Kouichirou Yuuki, who not only is part of the company that is creating Alfheim Online, but also has access to his sister Asuna (Kazuto's LoveInterest)'s streaming of what's going on within Aincrad.
* CrushBlush: During their first weeks together, Kirito and Asuna blush whenever they look at each other, particularly if they are looking cute or adorable.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Kyouji Shinkawa (Shino's friend from the ''Gun Gale Online'' arc), appears during the SAO incident in the Youma attack on the Dicey Cafe.
* ExpansionPackPast: Several canon characters have more mentions to their past.
** Lind was an officer in the [[KaijuDefenseForce Japanese Self-Defense Forces]] before he got injured in Irak.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Princess Serenity killed herself to screw with the Dark Kingdom's plans.]]
* IHatePastMe: Variation. Several of the reincarnated characters have "zombie" versions of their past lives running around, working for the Dark Kingdom, and they all hate them. Reincarnated!Beryl, in particular, hopes to be able to destroy Queen Beryl.
** Asuna dislikes her memories of Serenity because they interfere with her own life.
* IHaveManyNames:
** Kirito's real name is Kazuto Kirigaya [[spoiler:formerly Kazuto Kayaba]], and he is nicknamed "The Black Swordsman", "[[AffectionateNickname The Dark Sun]]" and, most importantly, "[[CommandingCoolness The Commander]]".
** Asuna gets quite a few of her own. Kirito calls her "Asuna-hime" and "White Moon", her ''nom-de-guerre'' is "The Lightning Flash", but for the most part she is "The Princess".
* ItsOkayIfItsYou: The only person allowed to call Asuna "Asuna-hime" or "Princess" (to her face, at least) is Kirito.
* HeelFaceTurn: Several Youma have turned their backs on the Dark Kingdom.
** HeelFaithTurn: One of them, Boxy, got ordained as a Catholic priest.
* LadyAndKnight: How the relationship between Asuna and Kirito plays out.
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Akihiko Kayaba reveals to Kirito that they are siblings.]]
* MythologyGag: Kirito and Asuna get married and buy the log cabin in Aincrad's 22nd Floor.
* NotGoodWithPeople: Kirito states multiple times that he feels uncomfortable when talking to large groups of people. Unfortunately, events in Aincrad conspire against him.

* ReincarnationRomance: {{Averted}}. Asuna does not even consider the possibility of getting together with the reincarnation of Serenity's lover, Mamoru - which is good, because he's engaged with Beryl's reincarnation.
