Time Travel Rec List!

No fooling, today we have 9 time travel fics for your reading pleasure! Three are short and sweet, under 10k words; three are moderate at around 50k, and three are behemoths of over 100k! We also have a rarepair in the form of a Ziam canon-divergence time-travel fix-it fic.

Please enjoy, leave comments and kudos, and get ready for the next theme (as soon as I can decide what it is...)

The Second Hands Unwinds by kingsofeverything (51573, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) - fic post

Louis Tomlinson is one of the first members of NASA's top secret Chrono Exploration Program. When things go wrong and he's sent further back in time than planned, he has no other option than to show up on his ex-boyfriend's doorstep.

Reccer says: I think everyone knows this fic, NASA au, but how can we not recommend it? The plot is great, it's emotional, it's really good. Sp, so beatuiful, so immersive, the characters are written perfectly and it absolutely made me cry.

De amore ex tempore by Persephoneflouwers (101471, Mature, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) - fic post

Or: the Middle Ages AU where Harry is a philosopher, whose thoughts happen five centuries too soon and Louis is a painter, whose art happens five centuries too late. Or: the Time Travel AU where alternate versions of themselves live simultaneously in different realities and their paths collide every time, until somehow, they converge into one.

Reccer says: Much of the story takes place during the Florentine Renaissance, at the end of the Middle Ages, and it's beautiful and well-written. I was at the Louvre a while back and while looking at the Caravaggio and Trevento paintings, images of De Amore Ex Tempore came to mind. Beyond that, I also really liked the story, the meeting of this Louis from the future with a Harry from the Middle Ages. It just goes to show that, whatever the era, they're bound to find each other!

There’s Such a Lot of World to See by Crinkle-Eyed-Boo (125000, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) - fic post Warnings: Harry dies twice, but it all works out and has a happy ending!

Doctor Who AU with Louis as The Doctor and Harry as the Companion, inspired by the Impossible Girl story from series 7.

Reccer says: It has everything you need! Thrills, angst, romance, smut, and time travel!

billow and breeze (islands and seas) by Pleasinglouis (102506, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) - fic post Warnings: Graphic depictions of violence

Two words sum it up: Outlander AU.

Reccer says: And here again, two words are enough to recommend: Outlander AU...

Old Photographs & Times I'll Remember by Jaerie (53918, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) - fic post

A camera, a suitcase, and a relationship forged through time.

Reccer says: It's beautifully written and poignant.

i know i've grown (but i can't wait to go home) by LiveLaughLoveLarry (7230, Teen, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) - fic post Warnings: Violence, murder, injury (not graphic)

Louis falls down a hill and into the past. A historical castle is suddenly full of life, including a hot prince -- and his evil twin.

Reccer says: I really enjoy the use of language and speech patterns between the modern Louis and the historical Harry!

Timeless by babyhoneyhslt (3867, General, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) - fic post

Based on "Timeless" by Taylor Swift. Harry wanders into an antique shop and finds himself pulled back in time, through a series of lifetimes. And in every one -- there's Louis.

Reccer says: I'm always a sucker for the idea that in every timeline and every universe these two would find each other -- and getting to have that multiple times in one story just cements that.

saw some things on the other side by we_are_the_same (61352, Mature, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) - fic post Warnings: Implied/Referenced Domestic Violence

When Louis moves into the mansion he’s inherited from his great grandfather, he has a plan that consists of three things. One, he’s going to finish writing the next novel in his series. Two, he’s finally going to get over his ex-fiancé. And three, while battling writer’s block and having to resist the urge to kill off the main character in his books – the hot detective based on his ex-fiancé – he’s going to restore the mansion to its former glory. Unfortunately, Louis’ plan doesn’t take into account the fact that instead of writing murder mysteries, he will find himself in one.

Reccer says: I love the way the writer manages the time/dimension travel trope!

(I pray to God I didn’t waste) all my good years by we_are_the_same (6864, General, Zayn Malik/Liam Payne) - fic post Warnings: Does "post-march 25th" count as a warning?

Liam goes to sleep in a world where Zayn has just left One Direction. He wakes up somewhere quite different.

Reccer says: The angst of it all!!

i am once again asking for niche or under-appreciated danny phantom fanfics/crossovers

[lineffability]

my personal taxonomy of "he would not fucking say that" is

1 "he would not fucking say that normally but under these specific circumstances he might and isn't that interesting"

2 "he would not fucking say that but it's fun to imagine actually"

3 "he would not fucking say that and I do not understand where you even got the faintest notion from that he might, but I remain puzzledly neutral"

4 "he would not fucking say that and I am gritting my teeth and seething inwardly but I can ignore this without receiving too much psychic damage"

5 "he would not fucking say that and the only thing stopping me from inviting you to a duel in the town square tomorrow at noon is my working brain, which I have, opposed to you apparently, but I would still like to sacrifice you to the nearest volcano and delete my short term memory just so I don't have to be aware that I live in a world where people have so little grasp on a character and no apparent media literacy whatsoever, excuse me while I go count some flowers and scream from the nearest hilltop"

Pac: "I- I know i can count on you, but uhm.. the brazilians.. they are all falling apart. And I'm worried about Cell. You know, cause there is no one, in a way, to protect me 100%. So thats why i built this, this wall and i put those signs. So i can keep Cell away.. from.. at least from the island. From this island.

Fit: "Well, don't you worry Pac, because if, if- I'm not gonna- Cell is not gonna hurt you when I'm around. It's not gonna happen. It's not gonna happen."

Pac: *deep voice* "Can I trust you?"

New Category: Time Travel!

As an outgrowth of the Historical AUs reclist we just posted, I wanted to pivot to a similar but distinct category -- time travel! I told you to wait and save your time travel fics for another category, but I'm impatient and didn't want to wait very long. So now you can submit them here!

Does someone invent a time machine and travel into the far future? Or are they trying to go back and fix something in the past? Do they fall asleep in the woods and wake up a century later? Fall into a pond that transports them to the fifteenth century? Do they travel together, or meet each other there? Are they visiting their past selves to pass on wisdom -- or having ragingly hot sex? Is time travel just a way to get EVEN MORE of the same boys being hot AT THE SAME TIME (Frat Boy Harry AND Prince Hair Harry in one room? Sign me up!)

Whatever the time, however the travel, send your faves my way by the posting date of Monday, April 1st, and I will pass along the good word of temporal tomfoolery.

compilation of commentary from my arc-v livetweet thread last night that now reads like the journal of a video game character succumbing to a great and unfathomable madness

s5+ adrien agreste is like. what if the fridged wife was actually a zany teenage boy who we held at gunpoint until he forfeited all agency and plot relevance. but he stayed silly.

[sakitenmaenjoyer]

ruisaki is so funny to me bc

1) rui and saki are the gayest characters in this game. saki wants to kiss every girl on the lips and has shown more of a reaction to beautiful women than rui ever has

2) even if they both werent gay, i truly believe rui wouldnt be able to see saki as anything but "tsukasa's little sister"

3) and if they ever dated the entirety of l/n and tsukasa wouldnt like it. l/n (shiho) would be like "but why". tsukasa would throw an entire bitch fit

4) literally nobody but tsukasa would be super against it. they wouldnt give af. meanwhile tsukasa is stabbing rui with knives in his mind

5) tsukasa would be bothered but accept it if it was an entirely different 6 foot senior boy. (and by bothered i mean he would bitch about it but assume the best) but the fact that it's rui has him shaking him by the shoulders like what the fuck is wrong with you???
