Summary
They should’ve known better. Hell, every single one of them had watch/read SAO at one point or another, so they should’ve expected it. Nothing good came from being beta testers for virtual reality games, no matter how good the pay was. So one of their coworkers going off the deep end and crashing the programming while they were all logged in was really on them. But that still didn’t explain how the fuck they ended up in the Naruto verse. Multiple oc’s. AU.

Summary
Nearly two years after getting trapped in the immersive virtual MMO Sword Art Online, Takashi Shirogane, known to his fellow players as “Shiro”, feels like he’s done pretty okay. He’s risen to become Vice-Captain of Voltron, the guild leading the frontline charge to freedom. He’s started dating his childhood friend and longtime crush, Keith “Thunderstorm” Kogane.
The thing is, though, that over the years in SAO, Shiro and Keith keep running into another player, an insistent, fierce loner who goes by the username “Heylel.” And if Shiro is totally honest with himself, and with Keith—he’s a whole lot in love with the handsome, sharp-tongued solo player.
Adam “Heylel” West, on the other hand, is pretty sure that things go better when he’s on his own. As a marked “beater”—a beta tester and assumed “cheat”—most people don’t want him around, anyway. Which is fine; Adam is perfectly okay with grinding solo, pushing himself to higher and higher heights in his quest to help save everyone else.
An invitation to party up with the boys he’s in love with is hard to refuse, so together, the three of them venture deep into Floor 74’s dungeon..and find far, far more than they ever could have bargained for.

Barney's always loved Half Life, so when he sees a VR headset that comes with a port of the original Half Life, he couldn't NOT buy it. Too bad you shouldn't buy an unauthorized port of a video game from a company that you've never heard of and has no records of even existing.

1. All they have is each other.
2. The broadcast text does not lie.
3. Death is permanent — mostly.Series

“Why.. why me? What did I do to deserve this?”
“Oh George, don’t you understand? You’re special. Only a few people get to meet me, don’t you feel lucky?”
George looked up Dream, loathing and fear in his eyes.
“Are you serious? You’ve trapped me inside a video game and told me I’m probably going to die, and now you’re telling me I should feel lucky? What the fuck is wrong with you?”
Dream ran a gentle thumb across George’s tear soaked cheeks.
“Oh darling, you’ll find out soon enough.”

Summary
Benrey can feel Gordon’s old shit staring at him, its oppressive gaze telling Benrey ‘you have to unpack this shit sooner or later’ which, ironically, is a great metaphor for all the emotional shit he needs to unpack as well. He should ask an English professor to analyze his life or something.
If Benrey had his way, he’d keep all of Gordon’s stuff in the back of his closet and forget about it. It’s not like he desperately needs cash or anything. Not that he could emotionally handle selling any of Gordon’s things, but, you know, if something happened, and he really needed the money, for Josh’s sake, Gordon’s stuff would be right up on Craigslist. Benrey hopes Gordon would understand. He’d probably do the same thing for Joshua, if he were still-
Anyway.

“...Hang on, it's not letting me close out the game.” Ranboo said, confusion and frustration clear in his voice.
“Well you see, you have to press the escape button on your keyboard and-” Tubbo began. And despite his face cam being turned off, Tommy could tell he was smirking.
“Tubbo that's not what I mean.” Ranboo cut him off, sounding concerned as the sound of keys clicking hard could be heard through the call. “It's just not- '' Suddenly, there was a long pause of silence on Ranboo’s end.

It all started as a harmless game... something fun to pass the time. We didn't know that we'd be trapped here... that we very well might die here.
To think I once said this would be cool... being trapped in HaiQuest was anything but that...
I suppose now all that's left is to reach the end.Series

Summary
“If we’re the only two who own the game, how the fuck are we on a multiplayer server right now,” Techno says slowly.
“Rumor has it this is all an elaborate marketing stunt,” Phil says dully. “Or that I’m actually trapped inside this game Jumanji style and can never leave.”
Techno’s so caught off guard by that that he actually barks out a laugh - a loud, uncomfortable chuckle. “Yeah, right.”
“It’s true,” Phil continues. His character looks up and meets Techno’s in the eyes. “I am stuck in this game. I’ve been trying to get out for decades. It’s utterly soul-crushing and I’ve given up all hope for a way out.”
“Bruh,” Techno says, because he doesn’t know what else to say.

[Or: Phil's chat has a running joke that the reason he only streams Minecraft is that he's trapped in the game like a Jumanji character. They're right, even if they don't know it.]
