#time travel fics

[inevitably-johnlocked]

hey I'm looking for a fic where John time travels on the day Sherlock comes back after

The Reichenbach Fall!!

Hi Nonny!!

Oh gosh uhhhhhh this sounds VAGUELY familiar... I did a quick tag search on my MFL list and MAYBE it's one of these? They're the ones that I have tagged with both "TRF" and "Time Travel":

All Our Tomorrows by Calais_Reno (T, 3,161 w., 1 Ch. || Time Traveller AU || Post-TRF, POV John, John Loves Sherlock, Sherlock Loves John, Time Travel, Old Age, Sussex, Forgiveness, Happy Ending) – John meets an old man who seems to know a lot about him.

After the Fall by Leloi (E, 7,913 w. || Time Traveller AU || Self-cest, Threesome, Post-TRF) – Sherlock found himself in 221B Baker Street, standing in front of John Watson. His time travel sometimes did that… set him before the one person in the world his life seemed to revolve around... ever since he met the man.

The Time Traveller's Flatmate Series by orithea (E, 68,674+ w. across 4 works || Time Travel AU || Developing Relationship, Threesome, Oral Sex, Hand Jobs, Selfcest) – Sherlock Holmes suffers from Chrono-Displacement: simply put, he time travels unpredictably, against his will. John Watson lives his life the normal way. Or as normal as it can possibly be considering that he first meets Sherlock at the age of six.

The Case of the Moebius Trip by Bitenomnom (NR, 129,218 w., 21 Ch. || Time Travel, BAMF!John, Angst, Death, Post-TRF) – When John finally gives in and accepts a case for the first time since Sherlock fell eight months ago, he finds himself in a unique position: in possession of what his client calls a time machine, and desperate enough to give it a go. If it works, he could travel back in time. If it works, he could save Sherlock.

======

Let us know if any of those are what you're looking for, and if not, friends, please suggest your Post-TRF Time Travel fic options for Nonny to pick from! <3

So tired of these Vader time travel fics where he goes back and decides "I'm going to fix everything"

Let him wake up pre tpm (as a 9yo for extra dramatic effect) and decide to fuck shit up, he doesn't want to fix anything he just wants revenge on everything and anyone who made him Vader

[thesunwillshineonusagain757]

I’m watching outlander and I’m wondering if there are any fics where Jamie travels through time with Claire. I’d love the dynamics of it.

Update! Chapter thirteen of a light exists in spring is now up!

[caballero-mermelada]

Fanfic readers!! Please help!

I'm looking for Steddie time travel fics, but not the "saving Eddie from Vecna" (usually time loops) kind of fics, which is what I mostly found.

I'm specifically looking for like, Steve travels years ago, usually to like season one, when Eddie and Steve would be in High school at the same time. And that's it. If you guys know or write fics like this, please let me know!!

I leave this one 👇🏻 if someone is interested. It's exactly what I'm looking for 🙏🏻 I just want more

[cronchy-baguette]

thank you for loving me

[allskywalkerswhine]

in fics where luke gets plopped into the prequels i want every jedi within ten metres of him to think hes the weirdest jedi theyve ever seen. he has negative lightsaber form. he doesnt know what a kata is. he handstands when he meditates. his solution to sith is to try and have a chat. hes a political radical who keeps suggesting revolution. you ask him what the jedi code is and he says "kindness and compassion and helping those in need :) ". you ask how he used the force like that and he says some shit about how you are a luminous being limited only by your mind. the councils authority is just a suggestion. he is somehow the new favourite of both qui gon and yoda

I was wandering if you knew a fic where John finds himself back in time, on the day of our favourite dinamic duo's first meeting/// A Second Chance by kipli has a similar premise, but it was Sherlock who went back in time. It's on AO3.

Hey Nonny!

First the fic you suggested:

A Second Chance by kipli(E, 13,160 w., 1 Ch. || Alternate Timelines, Bisexual John, First Time, Fluff and Light Angst, Anal / Oral, Ambiguous Ending) – Sherlock Holmes opens the matchbox from The Sign of Three and finds himself years in the past, back to that first dinner at Angelo's with a much younger John Watson. Is he dreaming?

-----

Secondly, I do have a list of Time Travel, Altered Time, or Time Manipulation (Updated Apr 2022) fics you can check out, so there might be a couple on there you will like. Hmm, I think most of the fics I've also come across that have time travel back to ASiP is usually Sherlock...

Checking the linked list and reading the descriptions of the fics on there has me thinking these ones might meet your criteria:

To the Nines by suitesamba (M, 2,724 w., 1 Ch. || PODFIC AVAILABLE || Magical Realism, Pining, Angst, John Whump, Time Travel, Fortunes, Time Jumps) – John skips forward in time, and Sherlock reads the signs that point to nine. John knows he’ll eventually be with Sherlock, but the waiting is nearly impossible, and his body is a lot more than transport. A foray into magical realism where all the canon events occur, and a hell of a lot more.

Turn Left by Mycroftpedia (T, 9,057 w., 1 Ch. || Time Travel AU || Platonics, Angst With a Happy Ending, Soulmates, Loneliness, John-centric, Emotional Hurt) – “If you could go back in time, would you'll make it all differently? Would you'll avoid the road that took you to Sherlock?” John stared at him, trying to study him in the same way he had seen Sherlock doing so many times. He was trying to figure out where Mycroft wanted to go with that question. To an inner reflection? Simple and mere curiosity? Or was there something more? John wondered when it was the last time he had seen him so serious. Mycroft Holmes was perennially serious, but that time there was something different, something that frightened him. “Right now?” He demanded at the end, challenging him, hoping to throw out some other word or some suspicious behavior. Nothing came up. “Yes.” Inspired by Doctor Who, Turn Left.

It's About Time, Don't You Think by WaywardSpark (M, 17,113 w., 4 Ch. || About Time Fusion || Time Traveller John, Romantic Comedy, Magical Realism, Bars and Pubs, Pining John, Background Case) – If you were to ask Sherlock Holmes where he and John Watson met for the first time, he would confidently be able to tell you Lab room 2, St Bart's Hospital, London, 29th of January 2010 at 11:47 in the morning. For John Watson, it's an entirely different story.

Eight Minutes by holmesian_love (NR, 38,557 w., 17 Ch. || Time Travel AU || BAMF John, Angst, Holmes Brothers, Mystrade) – When John Watson is recruited by a mysterious stranger, he has no idea that his life is about to be altered for all time.

The Case of the Moebius Trip by Bitenomnom (NR, 129,218 w., 21 Ch. || Time Travel, BAMF!John, Angst, Death, Post-TRF) – When John finally gives in and accepts a case for the first time since Sherlock fell eight months ago, he finds himself in a unique position: in possession of what his client calls a time machine, and desperate enough to give it a go. If it works, he could travel back in time. If it works, he could save Sherlock.

If anyone has some they can suggest for Nonny that is SPECIFICALLY John going back in Time to ASiP, I would also love to know!!

Fanart for @purble-turble 's DKR/TIme Travel AU! Read it here or look at their art for this AU here!

I always pictured Wukong looking downright terrifying when he found out his successor had been kidnapped, so I wanted to try my hand at illustrating it. :]

[ashoss]

[citrusbrew]

first time posting smthing abt this AU and it’s this fucking stupidf thing

[avayarising]

Batfam time travel fic idea: Dick is sent back in time to his younger body, around his early Nightwing era. But the younger body he’s sent back into at that particular moment happens to be concussed or sick or poisoned or something, so Dick (who wasn’t expecting the time travel in any case) is completely disoriented. Ten-year-old Stalker Tim sees him shivering/throwing up and goes to help out – and Dick just sees his little brother.

Tim has to deal with a confused, rambling Nightwing who is calling him by name and trusting him to help him and saying all sorts of concerning things.

(Maybe this is in New York, and Tim manages to call the rest of the New Teen Titans, who turn up and have to deal with this kid Nightwing has latched on to and won’t let go of, who apparently knows their identities. At least he seems as confused as they are about why this is happening.)
