* ''[[Downfall (fanfic)|Downfall]]'' is a continuity where Aizen never was the villain, instead {{spoiler|Unohana, you know... [[Team Mom]]... is the [[Big Bad]]. Kyoraku and Ukitake follow her. Nel is Primera. Gin and Ran are Soul Society's resident experts on relationships. Rukia dies.}}

* Gregg "Metroanime" Sharp's ''[http://www.asynjor.com/fanfic/sharp.html The Bet]'' is a cycle of stories based around a competition by a group of gods, demons, spirits and the occasional mortal to see who can make the biggest change in one of several "standard" timelines (the [[Canon]] versions of ''[[Ranma ~~One Half~~|Ranma 1/2]], [[Tenchi Muyo!]],'' and ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' among others) with [[For Want of a Nail|the smallest alteration]]. Each entry in "The Bet" is a small [[Alternate Universe Fic]]. ''The Bet'' inspired many contributors and imitators, and turned [[Alternate Universe Fic|Alternate Universe Fics]] into sort of a cottage industry for Sharp.

* ''A Fox in Tokyo'' by [[Doghead Thirteen]] is one for ''[[Naruto]]'', where the main change is that it's set in the author's [[Mega Crossover]] [[Top Dog]] universe, which includes a modern-day Tokyo where Nerima is a separate country owned and ruled by [[Ranma ~~One Half~~|Soun Tendo]], who is a werewolf. Needs to be seen to be believed.

* ''[[Team 8]]:'' Another ''[[Naruto]]'' fic. Something (currently a [[Noodle Incident]]) happens in Kurenai's past, and when she is tapped to train a genin team, she goes out of her way to request a specific newly-graduated ninja--her ninja team consists of Hinata Hyuga, Shino Aburame, and {{spoiler|Naruto Uzumaki}}.

* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion R]]'' is one example of such a fic, diverging from the (formerly, with ''Rebuild'') canonical timeline at the end of Episode 24 and beginning of the ''[[End of Evangelion]]''. Essentially, Gendo anticipates Seele's attack, decides he's not ready for it, and begins a major reconstruction of Tokyo-3 in order to make himself a public hero that is temporarily untouchable. In retaliation, {{spoiler|Seele builds a bunch of faux Angels for the purpose of attacking Nerv and initiating Third Impact in a more plausibly deniable way, while also recruiting another human-like Angel (ala Kaworu) to help them.}} Also, Shinji gets better. As does Asuka. And Rei. [[Lighter and Fluffier|And everyone else]]. {{spoiler|[[Bittersweet Ending|Well, almost]]}}.
