Summary
The world ended. Then it began again.
Ymir Reiss grows up in the aftermath. There’s something wrong with the way time moves around her. Something unfinished. And when everything starts to fall apart, she begins to understand why.
Some things don’t stay in the past. Some things don't stay in the future.
Or: Ymir Fritz gets a second life as Historia Reiss's daughter. Twenty-five years later, she finds herself thirty-seven years in the past, three years before the day everything begins. -

Summary
1977: In a smoky Cokeworth pub where the Sex Pistols scream Anarchy through crackling speakers, Hermione's serving chips while young Severus Snape pours pints and practices his sneer. She wasn't supposed to be here, but a cursed Time-Turner had other plans the night Dumbledore fell. Their summer burns wild and free, all vinyl records, heated nights, and a love affair that tastes like rebellion. But September's reality crashes in: they're both heading to Hogwarts, where choosing sides means more than picking records.
Two decades, two wars, and one hell of a temporal mess later; the future's about to get a new soundtrack.
Never mind prophecies, History's about to get loud.

Summary
Maul dies on Tatooine and wakes up over 40 years in the past. He quickly seizes the opportunity to change his fate and free himself from his Master, to save his brothers, including the one he doesn't yet know he has, and plot a new revenge against Darth Sidious with the advantages of time, foreknowledge and a surprisingly familiar Mandalorian face. It isn't only his own destiny that Maul's actions will change for the better, but that of Jango Fett and the entire Mandalorian people.
As far as the Force and the Ka'ra are concerned, healing hearts through the power of family and friendship will just be a nice side effect of saving the galaxy from its terrible future.

Summary
“What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.
“Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”
“Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”
In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

Summary
Severus gasps, pushing himself up against the wall, trying to gain distance where there isn’t; there’s sharp, unforgiving teeth, clawing, ripping, tearing at his throat, at the remaining shreds of his coherence. He might be crying, he thinks hysterically, from a distant part of his mind that gets thoroughly smothered and ignored amidst his panic.
In which fifteen-year-old Severus Snape meets his end at the jaws of a werewolf, and wakes up on the Hogwarts Express for his First Year at Hogwarts. He does not cope well.
