The Multiverser Saga is a collaborative fanfiction Multiverse started by VindictiveDunc
on ff.net. The concept of a Multiverser is a non-scripted being (i.e. a being from a world such as ours that doesn't exist as fiction somewhere else) that has been given the powers of a god. The official description of the concept and all the "canon" Multiversers is given on the fanfiction profile pages of all the authors working on the Saga. It reads thusly:
MULTIVERSERS What people call self-inserts, taken to an all new level. A Multiverser is a person from our reality who ends up in another. With practice, they become forces to be reckoned with. Omniscient, Omnipresent, and Omnipotent, they exist throughout multiple realities with the power to do whatever they wish, only limited by their imagination. While they do possess the ability to die, it is only possible when they so choose. So they remain immortal. The only thing capable of "killing" a Multiverser is another Multiverser of equal or exceeding power.
The Multiverser authors are VindictiveDunc, Hero of the Multiverse, BioshockerN7, Multiverser Kronos, RealmOfEmptiness (has since left the saga, though his Multiverser OC, Prime Death, remains and has been taken over by Fanfic guy01), Crazy Cakes 23, ZenithBloodedge, Fanboy of the Multiverse, and Anime PJ.

- Amusing Injuries - Whether it's someone going too far in the Multiversal Prank War or someone going through the hell that is training with Duncan Verser or Prime Death, the Multiversers often find themselves on the receiving end of these.
- Apocalypse How: Two cases of a Level 0.
- The Outbreak, an event wherein multiple fictional monstrosities were unleashed upon New York City.
- Another incident on Outbreak-Earth where a tear was opened to the Prim, unleashing monsters on a town in England and the surrounding area.
- Autobots, Rock Out! - These stories are known to incorporate some pretty badass tunes.
- Battle Theme Music - The authors always make mention of specific songs they want the readers to listen to while reading the fight scenes.
- Bilingual Bonus - Satan Verser is known to break out some Gratuitous Spanish every now and then.
- Bio-Augmentation - A variant. Michael Verser has an advanced healing system, called the AVALON System, built into his soul.
- Bloodier and Gorier - Stories in the Multiverser saga that take place in worlds that aren't normally shown particularly bloody tend to have the concept of extreme blood loss introduced to them once the Multiversers arrive.
- Crisis Crossover - Legends of the Multiverse.
- Death by Origin Story - The Multiversers from Outbreak-Earth got hit with quite a bit of this.
- Demonic Invaders - Outbreak Earth had a number of them.
- Dysfunction Junction - Whenever a group of Multiversers find themselves together, this is to be expected.
- Eldritch Location -
- The End, the exact opposite of The Multiverse.
- Explicit Content - All the Multiverser stories are filled to the brim with strong language, violence, sexual innudendoes, and even a quite a few lemon scenes.
- Fanservice - There's a lot of sexualisation in the saga, both male and female (though mostly female).
- Narrator - A lot of the Multiverser stories are told in the first person by the Multiversers themselves.
- Physical God - The whole concept of the saga involves humans who become these.
- You Can't Go Home Again - Averted in that it's possible for the Multiversers to send a copy of themselves to their homeworld if they so wish, but this copy cannot interact with the family or friends they once had. Duncan did this, but his copy killed itself out of depression, and with it died what little humanity Duncan had left.
- Played around with for the Multiversers who originate on Outbreak!Earth. Despite the intervention of Duncan Verser in pushing back the forces attacking the world, the Multiversers who came from that universe have lost their families for the most part, thus have no reason to return home.
