    Summary

    This is a really, really odd fanmade story of Slay The Princess where a bunch of random characters from a world-traveling agency willingly transport themselves into a world they declared an “anomaly” due to its status and culture being unknown. Their task is to learn (or try to at least) just what kind of world this “anomaly” is so they can decide whether to archive it or to isolate it forever.

    Summary

    A crack in the games ending sends Stanley to a narrated world harsher than the parable- he doesn’t realize he has walked into a conflict much larger than himself.

    Summary

    Summary

    Dazai wakes, standing amongst a dead forest unwilling to die. His destiny, to enter a cabin he cannot leave. His duty, to slay a King; stabbing him in the heart when he supposedly lacks one.

    Whatever horrors he may find in these dark spaces, would ever have heart and see them through?

    He's already walked amongst premature endings. He's already made all the wrong decisions.

    These perspectives mark freshness on old wounds which tell of late beginnings.

    This is a love story.

    -

    Alternatively, Soukoku in Slay the Princess. With Dazai as the protagonist and Chuuya as the Princess King.

    Will such a story deserve an end?

    (Soukoku here can be interpreted as either platonic and romantic!)

    Summary

    She and Him are absent. They put it all behind, including one more thing yearning for nothing more than her Heart's exposition. Unfinished, The Shifting Mound of ceaseless anguish longs to see the world too for whatever it's disastrous, ironic, and paradox worth. Absolutely nothing will deter her from tearing the Construct from the outside-in to succession.

    ---

    His Heart, better than a figure of choice, though a voice, becomes a free roaming breath of fresh beginnings. He promised to quest the ones like him, rally them into unity once again. He only needs to harbor the duty of preventing an eldritch goddess from ascension atop of it.

    Summary

    What if, instead of the Princess retaliating in Chapter 1 after you choose to betray her at the last possible minute, she grew more scared of you trying to kill her?

    Fan Princess by wwwjam. Permission was given by him to realise the route.

    A brief view of what you can expect:
    Steady: Well, there’s no way we’re going to be able to catch her with how scared she is. We need to find a way to calm her down first before we do anything. And keep ourselves calm as well.
    Narrator: I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I’m… not sure I follow. What makes you think that the Princess is panicking right now? You haven’t even met her yet.
    Hero: We have. Do you not remember that?
    Narrator: N…no, this is the first time we’ve met, you three and I.

    Summary

    When Two Time met a monster in the depths of the Forsaken Realm, the last thing they expected was to have their entire faith dismantled in a few words. The monster in question was really a god, one that exposed hidden lies and promised Two Time a beastly form, a pristine blade and their eventual freedom in return for them abandoning the Cult of the Spawn. However, there's more to the deal than meets the eye- this is a chaos god who’s got a bone to pick with the Spectre, and a crush on Two Time.

    AKA my self indulgent poly selfship AU with chimera werebeasts, so many Slay the Princess references it's become a crossover and a religious crisis as a cherry on top.

    I genuinely don't know how long this is gonna get, because behind the scenes, there is a ridiculous amount of lore brewing.

    Summary

    “Hello, kitty-cat who looks like me! I’m here to cut you out of that chain! Non-lethally! No one in their right mind would genuinely consider cutting someone’s arm off just to get them out of their bindings, after all!”

    You feel a fake smile of your own stretch across your face, so wide it’s almost painful.

    Now, your plan had been to play her game for a while. Exchange some words. Maybe wait for a chance to stab her in the back, things like that. But there are... so many things in that sentence, and they all make you... so angry.

    Or: Inside the multitudes of an unfinished Shifting Mound, the Witch and the Razor go to war.

    Part of a series, but can be read on its own.

    Summary

    An unspeakable gravity compels you to overflow into it. Into the point that feels exactly like what you’ve craved this entire time, into something that smells of petrichor and passion and bloodstained truth.

    You don’t care what it is. It could be awful. It could be wonderful. But it is anything else.

    Something that is not allowed to be receives proof that it exists.

    Mistakes are made. Some are corrected.

    Summary

    Summary

    This one is a mirror made of pain. A single-minded blade, always craving what lies beneath the next layer. She can destroy, but she can also sharpen. She will make for a piercing heart.

    (A mostly canon-compliant character study of the Razor, leading to mutually assured destruction.)

    Summary

    Though it's been four years since he's been in the field, Curt inexplicably finds himself in a forest, and being given a very important task by Cynthia: to slay a Princess, who is supposedly going to end the world. Seems simple enough, until the Princess turns out to be none other than Owen, who is apparently NOT dead like Curt thought.

    or: Slay the Princess but with Curt and Owen because when I find a new piece of media to be obsessed with, I'm always gonna at least consider making it Curt and Owen.

    Summary

    One concept ripped into two gods - powerful but not infallible. A construct strong enough to hold cosmic beings, weaved with his very soul. There was no fame in this, no glory, nothing. Just the knowledge that he had saved everyone. If that wasn't worth something, then nothing would be.

    He had crafted a Construct - every Construct must have a Creator. But what led an arrogant, apathetic man to save humanity in the first place? What made him try at all?

    It's a rather predictable answer. Humans are nothing but fools, after all.

    OR

    I give the Narrator the backstory no one asked for. You're welcome.

    Summary

    Yes, everyone knows that you are a Princess. However, no one cares. The world will soon end if you don't save the Hero. The role reversal is amusing, considering a Princess isn't usually the one to save the Hero, but we don't have time for that. The world ending means something to everyone, so let's get started and save it.
