== Anime & Manga ==
* ''[[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 ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130605100703/http://www.asynjor.com/fanfic/sharp.html The Bet]''{{broken link}} 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 ½]], [[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 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 ½|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}}.
Line 38:
* Given the nature of ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' and the liberal use of [[A Us]] by Himaruya himself, it's no surprise that there are a good deal of them. One example, though a [[Dark Fic]] one, is ''[[All He Ever Wanted]],'' involving an [[Alternate History]] where England keeps his alliance with Japan. [[It Got Worse]].
** AUs of the first type (contextual reassignment) are common as well, for example [[Part Right, Half Wrong, a Third Crazy]].
* ''[httphttps://web.archive.org/web/19991006034910/http://solo.abac.com/moonromance/o/matmon.htm Matrose Mond]'' by David H. Olivier sets the action of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' in [[Nazi Germany]].
