Summary
"They keep their eyes on the body. They jerked back when it moved again. A small and pale hand went to the blade, and it was retired from the open wound, blood rushing out of the cut; they stayed still as it whined again, a curse parting from his lips. He sat slowly, head hanging forward, face covered by the long locks of black hair dripping the black substance on the floor. The only sound was the drops of black ooze on the marble floor. They walk away from the grumbling body, until one bumps into a table, the wooden object making a harsh racket against the floor.
Hadrian’s face turns to them, green eyes shining in the gloomy room like lanterns."or

Summary
Will didn’t know how this was happening.
He didn’t know why.
But it was.
Even if he couldn’t trust his eyes, not always anyway, he trusted what he felt, tactile sensation, and everything he felt said that this was happening. His body didn’t have the aches and pains and scars he knew. There was no knot of scar tissue causing issues with his shoulder from being stabbed. No smile across his stomach from a linoleum knife or bullet wound in his non-stabbed shoulder.
He was his relatively untouched teenager self, brain too much for most to handle and awkward social abilities that had landed him a full-ride to Tulane off of his high IQ and ability to pass a test – so long as it wasn’t a psych exam, though now that he knew what he knew he’d be willing to bet that was changed.
In fact…as plans and plots started to come together, he was counting on it.
It would be a long game.
Almost twenty years.
A different Will would be sorry for all those who would die between then and now, let alone those that would come after, but as he sat down and began the first of many lists that would shape his future for the next decade or more, he didn’t feel any guilt at all.

Summary
No one knows where he came from. He started as whispers, rumors of a new Mand'alor, quietly gathering followers. He takes children, they say. He is immune to the Force, it goes silent around him, they say. Hush now, they say to the children. They say dreamless sleep follows the Nowhere King. They say when his kingdom comes, darkness will rise.

Summary
All Din wanted to do was check in on his son at the temple, instead he’s 30 years in the past and accidentally convinced some jedi into thinking he’s traveled forward in time rather than backwards. The force is weird.
Basically Din ends up in the clone wars but through his lack of pre-empire knowledge and Anakin’s willingness to jump to conclusions, Din has accidentally convinced the old jedi order that he’s an ancient mandalorian.

Summary
Ye Qiu thought as he looked at his gallery, seeing the photos of his twin with a World Cup together with the friends he had made, unconsciously the sight of envy was reflected in his eyes(something he didn't realize).
"Xiu-ge, I'll miss you." Ye Qiu whispered while remembering all the times they were able to bond, something that happened in the far past.
"In my next life, I'd rather be with you and play that GLORY...that way we'll always be together." Ye Qiu murmur the last part and smiled as he relaxed after his thoughts were finalized. But clearly, the pain can be felt from his words and his eyes.
~~
Ye Qiu time travelled and play together with his Gege♡
Timeline is from Season 8 to Season 10.

Summary
Shoved back to his nearly dying 17-year-old past self just after the siege in Burial Mounds (for god's sake he just wanted to rest!), Wei Wuxian had realized that (WAIT!) he needs to seize this opportunity to redeem himself and prevent bad things from happening again.
But disguising as a female demonic cultivator was surely not part of the plan.
An AU where Wei Wuxian chose to act behind the scene of the Sunshot Campaign without anyone knowing that he's very much alive and unknowingly widowing and pushing some ice-cold statue into unnecessary mourning.
"Excuse me, I didn't know that I am married!"
