For Want of a Nail: The eponymous "Leaping Wizards" encounter was supposed to have the full party of 6 with a Wizard, three Magic Knight Game Breaker Clerics, a Fighter and a Thief, ambushed by three Level 1 Wizards armed with quarterstaves and with Magic Missile as their one spell.

Comments: A For Want of a Nail fic in which Shino/Sinon of GGO was present during the original Aincrad arc, though the setup goes beyond that by having her encounter Kazuto/Kirito in the real world and, through circumstances, having him become her Only Friend.
