System Override (Formerly: The Bloodsurge Edgerunner) by DaoistMystery
Fandoms: Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (Anime), Cyberpunk 2077 (Video Game)
03 Apr 2026

Summary
NB: I have crossposted this story to Royalroad under the title System Override.
A forced experimental drug treatment at an early age has saddled David with an immense burden.
His mother’s insistence on his current lifepath as a corpo has done much the same.
David is a speeding ball of fire hurtling towards an unknown destination, and his mother’s death has left him adrift and unsure of his direction.
So he does what any teenager with no more fucks left to give does—he chips in some mil-spec chrome and looks for a quick way to earn edds, all the while learning to utilize the nanotechnology that had been forced on him as a child—finding out the immense potential within him as a result.
Corpo or Edgerunner? Why not both? And why not the best of both while we’re fucking at it?
Top of Arasaka Tower.
Night City Legend.

Summary
David had always heard that this city made men into monsters. He didn't think they meant it literally.
Gloria Martinez had stolen a top-secret sample from the corpse of an AWOL scientist. She had been hunted down and assassinated for it. David should have died with her. He didn't. But that did not mean he came out unscathed. Whatever his mother had stolen had changed him; made him something else.
He wasn't sure why these people were willing to slaughter his mother over one vial, but he wanted answers. And he had a feeling that whatever had changed him—this "Blacklight"—would give them to him.

Summary
We thought ourselves powerful, able to conquer a galaxy with nothing but toys. When we overcame every challenge, breached the space between the galaxies themselves, what use were the words of a race ashamed of their own past? Yet we cannot deny that we were warned, for while a challenge to a human is laughable, a challenge to humanity is a death sentence.

Summary
Rather than allowing Nana Shimura to die so that they can escape, Sorahiko Torino makes his way back to the battle against All For One, managing to rescue the injured hero just in time. As a result, All Might keeps in constant contact with both of his hero mentors throughout his career, and once he informs them of his new successor, they couldn't help but assist in his training.
Basically, what if Izuku had a basic understanding of One For All from the beginning of the story, which allowed him more time to master and cultivate it?

Summary
Izuku had gone through a lot in life. Then he died. Alone. Forgotten. Broken.
Then, he woke up in a land ravaged by war and destroyed by the Gods. There he fought, bled, and overcame everything that stood in his way. There, he found something, someone, worth fighting for. There he found his love, his conviction, and the strength to push forward.
Then, he came back. And along with him was the most beautiful Moonlight.
Now, the Elden Lord and the Goddess of the Dark Moon have a chance to put aside schemes and deicides and enjoy their time together in a hopefully less brutal world.

Summary
Taylor Hebert has only ever wished to be one thing, but in Night City it is harder to accept your own weakness, then to prove yourself strong enough to die.
A canon divergence where a different Main Character gets the Sandevistan, and a different world results.

Summary
Knights are meant to be heroes—sworn to the Seven and standing against the worst of Westeros: bandits, beastmen, ogres, and more. Ser Ciaphas Cain is such a knight… at least in theory. In an age without dragons, where elves and dwarves fade into myth, the singers hail him as a hero. Cain himself insists it’s all a dreadful misunderstanding—one he’d much rather survive than explain.

Summary
With each year the Indomitus Crusade progresses, the Chaos Gods grow more and more annoyed as Roboute Guilliman continuously interferes with their plans and powers. But they know killing him will be too difficult and costly; the Corpse Emperor of Mankind protects his tool well. So, instead, they lay a trap and cast the nuisance 13th Primarch into an alternate timeline.
AKA, that time when 30k and 40k Roboute Guilliman swap places.

Summary
War changed men. Through fire and blood, through the fog of war and the death of his friends, Eddard Stark had seen the last vestiges of his battered faith burnt to ash. Faith in Gods, faith in men.
He couldn’t keep his eyes closed after that, regardless of how much he desired to.
No more.
Eddard Stark was done believing in the vain pretences of honour and virtue.
He would not repeat the same mistakes that had led his father and his brother to an early grave. He would keep what little family remained to him safe by all means necessary, the Others take his honour.
The Gods would understand, Ned hoped.
That is, if they even cared.
Or:
In the aftermath of the Rebellion, Eddard Stark plays the game of thrones, and he intends to win. Far-reaching and unexpected butterflies ensue. This is their story.
A monster-dong, long-runner of a story.
Not a fix-it fic.

Ned Stark is beheaded and is reborn as Boromir. Three arrows later, Ned Stark rises.
What mission does Eru Ilúvatar have for this mortal’s soul? A cycle of pain and death? Or a purpose only he can fill?
___
A GOT rewrite if: Ned Stark is resurrected with the experiences of Boromir; Westeros was Middle Earth in the far future; old magic is stirring; the Stark children open up to their inherent warging powers; Theon gets a Gandalf intervention before he does something stupid.

Summary
Ciaphas Cain had thought himself rather clever for switching his first deployment as a Commissar from the originally intended Artillery Regiment to the Vacation Planet of Fracterus. He should have known that the universe would hardly let him have such an easy time.
The Emperor, after all, needed a way to bring His will back to that sector. And while His will may be dolled out with hammer and bolter via his Primarchs and his Angels of Death, that does not mean that the ordinary man has no place in his plans, they just had to be....tweaked.
