Summary
The future wasn't the happy ever after they had all hoped for after all. Instead it was a world where the creatures of the Upside Down ran rampant destroying everything in their path. It was death of their friends and loved ones, and the crippling knowledge that Vecna was minutes away from winning once and for all.
Or so they thought.
It was nothing short of a miracle when the answer to their problems came in the form of a hastily made plan that yet again defied everything they thought they knew. Time travel. With the very fate of the world resting on his shoulders, Mike Wheeler is sent back with only one mission in mind. Stop Vecna and save his friends or die trying.

Summary
A sharp crack tears through the air. Mike flinches back, staring down at Will's lifeless body. He gets one last look before the ground is giving way beneath them, and all at once, they’re falling.
A shrill cry tears from Mike’s throat as he finds himself flailing through the open sky. A sharp crack of lightning shutters in the distance. Will's limp corpse contorts, dropping faster than he can. He’s screaming, unimaginable terror ripping through his body. He writhes, reaching for Will, crying the boy's name.
He’s falling, plummeting through a destabilized upside down and there's nothing he can do to stop it. He’s going to die.
Mike reaches out, eyes squeezed close. He tears the watch from Will's wrist, seconds before colliding with the Exotic Matter.
.
OR
Colliding with Exotic matter as the Upside Down collapses in on itself sends Mike hurtling through time. He’s given the chance to save Will before any of this starts.
But he can’t seem to get it right. Reliving moments throughout the years, helpless to warn Will. He just wants to keep him safe. Why can’t he keep him safe?
He’ll do this again and again until he gets it right. He won’t lose him again.

Summary
Watching Steve sit alone that first day- even with his ex and her new squeeze crowding his table- former King of Hawkins High with his bruised up face and puppy dog eyes, and apparently, knight in shining armor tendencies, Eddie never stood a chance.
It's Jeff, in the end, that finally badgers Eddie enough to let Steve be dragged over to their table- into Hellfire, and Dungeons & Dragons, and hopefully right into Eddie's arms- after Steve intervenes to stop Jeff being harrassed in the halls.
Now Eddie just needs to figure out what he's going to do with all of it.
Aka a hellfire adopts Steve fic, because give the boy some friends (and a boyfriend).

Summary
1987 went to shit. Vecna brought on what may well be the apocalypse, and Steve fought it to the end. Literally.
Death was supposed to be a one-way street. But knowing a girl with super powers had a tendency to change the game. So when Steve opens his eyes to a beer-soaked bathroom on Halloween in 1984, Nancy calling him 'bullshit' all over again, the universe might forgive Steve for thinking he was either a) in Hell or b) going cracked. But Steve didn't have time to freakout. Not when El finds him and asks that he help her change the events of the future. Not when he's the only other person she managed to drag with her for chance number two.
OR: A time travel fix-it, where 1987 Steve is dropped back into his 1984 self. And now he has to deal with that plus the impending apocalypse on the horizon. But he'll be fine, right? Because, as El informs whoever asks, Steve's 'The Babysitter'. So he gets to work. He can cry later, when he's done.

Summary
Ever since Eddie was a kid, he's known that he would die at nineteen. He never really came up with a plan for how to spend his last year. But if he'd had to guess, it would have involved spending lots of time with Wayne, and his band, and the Hellfire Club.
He certainly couldn't predict that he'd fall in love with Steve Harrington over a summer of early morning swims and smashing shit in the junkyard. Or the whole monster fighting thing.
(Or: Eddie and Steve navigate a little-to-the-left world where technology exists to predict the age a person will be when they die. Don't worry, no one stays dead.)

Summary
It took a few moments - quite a few, in fact, most of them spent huddling on his office couch, cuddling his favourite desktop organiser - to get over the whole ‘so close to death, he probably owed it flowers’ thing, well enough to fully grasp what had happened.
He had gone back in time. He was no longer the Pupil of the Eye, but plain Elias Bouchard, the Heart of the Magnus Institute, with a plan for greatness which he now knew was absolutely, one hundred percent, going to work.
If he wanted it to.

Summary
"No, I— I’m an esper. A psychic.”
Half an hour ago, Martin would have thought that was completely ludicrous, an obvious attempt to deflect, or the words of a delusional man. Now, though—
“Now you’ve seen it in action. You know that I can hear your thoughts. How else would I know you’re a spy? How else would I know your name is Martin?”
His breath catches in his throat.

What was supposed to be a simple reconnaissance mission takes a dramatic turn, and one Agent's life will never be the same again.

Summary
As long as he’s known Arthur – as long as he’s hated and tolerated and liked and loved him – John has wanted his own body. An identity all his own. When he and Arthur find a way to make it happen, it should be perfect. It needs to be perfect. But Arthur still can’t see, and John makes some unfortunate discoveries about his new body, and they’re both having a hell of a time of it. They aren’t alone, but it’s hard to remember that when you don’t share the same moral frame anymore. Hard, but not impossible.

Summary
Arthur and John have become Doe & Lester, private detectives. Finally in his own body, John is eager to see what the rest of his mortal life holds -- Arthur, on the other hand, believes that John should spend his life without Arthur holding him back. Arthur is not the sort of man who can provide stability, warmth. A family.
On a case, they find a baby clutched in the arms of her dead father. John grows attached quickly, and together, the men discover that the baby is in fact Emily MacFarland from another timeline... and that the universe is much more breakable than they thought.
The sky falls around their ears, strange flesh monsters crawl from portals, and the world seems to be nearing its end. John begins to realize what exactly he wants out of life, as Arthur faces the constant enemy to his own happiness: himself.

Summary
Percy Weasley is not particularly reckless, until he is, once, on the anniversary of his brother's death. For most people, the idea of sending oneself through time to correct one's mistake would remain a fantasy, something to dwell on in the middle of the night, but Percy has always been too capable for his own good.
Featuring: a reluctant spy, an unlikely friendship between a ghost and a lonely student, a portrait, very few friends, several very lengthy conversations about soul magic, and far too many Horcruxes.
(Or, an attempt to answer the question, if someone intelligent was sent back through time, armed only with the word 'Horcrux' and a general knowledge of the main timeline––not to mention a keen understanding of the Hogwarts curriculum––could that person logic his way to defeating the Dark Lord? Only time will tell).
COMPLETE.

The Knight's Gambit (OLD VERSION) by Aku_Cinta_Kamu

Tags
Summary
I've read a lot of time travel fics in this fandom that revolve around Harry, and many that revolve around Hermione, but only a choice few choose to focus on Ron. I've decided to take up the challenge myself.
Ron Weasley is a strategist. When he's thrown back in time to before his first year at Hogwarts, he makes a plan to fake his death and go kill Voldemort and all his horcruxes on his own. After all, he knows all of the opposition's moves already, and they know nothing about his. What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
“You’re an Unspeakable!”
Draco Malfoy stops, his hand on the doorknob to the staircase.
“An excellent observation, Potter.” He says dryly. “May I continue on the way to my job there? I am supposed to be on the clock right now; I was already running late…”
“I started looking into it.” Harry says quickly, “If I had known you worked for the Ministry when we talked before, I would have asked for your help. As is, we could use an ongoing informant.”
“I’m a researcher, Potter. Not law enforcement. I did my part; do yours.”
“But-”
“Unless you want to go back in time; I’ve given all the help I can give.” Draco cuts across him, opening the stairway door.
“Wait-” Harry says, blinking quickly as he watches Draco disappear down the stairs. “Is that an actual option?”
---
Nearly a decade after the second wizarding war, there's rumblings of a coming third, and Unspeakable Draco Malfoy tries warning the Head of the Auror department, Harry Potter, about the troubling signs he's seen around him, but when Harry takes an off hand comment related to Draco's research seriously, everything changes.- Language:
