- Synopsis: A long-lost friend trying to get home to a place that's not on the map. A vengeful daemon bent on self-destruction, ignorant of her own humanity. Will Velvet Crowe find it in herself to seek redemption in the light? Or will she recede further into the darkness?
- Comments: Never thought I would recommend an OC-centered fic, but Leonex Davidson, Cloud Fry's OC, brings out and develops the character of all of the Menagerie in a way I never could've seen without him. In addition, it much more thoroughly ties together the stories of Berseria and Zestiria. 5 stars Cloud, you really did our chaotic friends good. It even has a crossover sequel set in the era of Zestiria, called The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
Alternative Berseria The X by Kaiser Dracon

- Status: Completed
- Pairings: Velvet Crowe x OC (Avernus Diphda)
- Synopsis: As the Era of Asgard crumbles, the sins of the past stand poised to consume the world. Despair and Salvation must join together to forge a new road, or all shall be lost. What possibilities will such a union bring?
- Comments: The story is the retelling of the game, plus a few original characters that serve both as new protagonists and new villains. This is by far the best original character insert in Tales of Berseria, as their backgrounds tie heavily in the canon. Avernus Diphda, the new main protagonist, is well written and ties heavily into the canon. His presence guided the plot into new territories that felt as if he was born to be in Menagerie and should've been in the game. Many plot holes have been fixed and filled, plus, it gave the story a happier ending and tied Tales of Berseria and Tales of Zestiria in a fresh way.
and Alternative Zesitira The XPros:
Outstanding story and plot. Lots of action scenes. One of the best endings and plot fixes. Avernus feels that he belongs in the world and not a self-insert, time traveller or world-hopping OC. His true background turned out to be an interesting twist. He is a believable, romantic partner for Velvet. No OOC for canon characters. Velvet's alternative fate is shaping up to be interesting in the sequels. The writer supports the story with outstanding artworks and even a mini-manga series for three years.

Cons:
Not much, except it could've used more descriptive writing.
I recommend it as one of the best fanfiction stories for Tales of Berseria. You'll have a good time with it. Thank you, Kaiser, for giving the fandom such an amazing story.

- Pairings: Velvet x Eleanor
- Synopsis: The final battle had reached its conclusion. The world had been saved by an unlikely force. For the time being, peace had come to the land. Unfortunately, there's a price for everything. This peace was no exception. Not everyone would be able to enjoy it. Eleanor Hume understood that fact all too well.
- Comments: It's a sequel to the author's other fanfic: Spoken and Unspoken Words. This is a well-written story that serves as an epilogue to the main game while also featuring an original storyline that ties in with the game's plot as well. , featuring Shepherd Eleanor Hume and her struggle to get closure after her significant other Velvet sealed herself away. Her journey takes her to Aball, Velvet's now abandoned village, and now she's been seeing strange dreams of a stranger, events from the past, and Velvet herself. She must now seek answers along with old allies to find and unlock the truth, so that she can finally get her closure at long last. Each chapter is filled with great banters between characters and thought-provoking debates as they discuss and debate events of the game that could shed a new light on character actions. For those looking for a bit more closure to the game's ending or are just looking for a good Velvet x Eleanor fanfic, this story is highly recommended.
