Summary
Twelve-year-old Tim Drake has homework to finish and dinner waiting at home. He even has an invitation to spend time with Bruce before patrol the next day reviewing toxins and antidotes. It doesn't matter that Bruce prefers to keep things all-business and down in the Batcave. Having Robin again is helping, Tim can already see that, and it's always a relief to know when he's invited back.
Sixteen-year-old Tim Drake decides that he'd rather keep his distance from the tempting research project Bruce has across two work tables. It's archaeology and time travel all at once, even more interesting than usual after Bruce's long trip through time, but Bruce probably won't crack that in one night. Getting involved in the project will eliminate Tim's chance to escape to his apartment for a quiet evening rather instead of struggling through an awkward dinner with Jason and Damian and Bruce.
When the Tims suddenly switch times and places, twelve-year-old Tim has an invitation to dinner and sixteen-year-old Tim knows just what kind of ripples someone can leave from the past.

Summary
She died. She was one with the Force. She never knew about the council of the greatest Jedi to ever live. She doubted anyone living knew of it.
They had two tasks for her. One was fairly simple, the other... Much more dangerous.
Tarre Vizsla was insane and her own Master was a crazy Jedi according to some.
Tarre Vizsla charged her with saving his people from their destruction. He claimed she had Mandokarla.
That was a load of bantha poodoo. She was no Mandalorian. The meddling armored Jedi was wrong. What he wanted was a job for an actual Mandalorian.
If only she knew what Tarre Vizsla had up his armored vambraces.
You bet your butt, she would have refused. But maybe... Just maybe... She might have Mandokarla after all.

Summary
While hummingbirds can be devoted to their family, particularly their young, they are known to be both highly aggressive and anti-social. They are the only birds able to fly backwards and even upside down.
Tim's mission has never been the same as the rest of the Bats. He knows he doesn't fight for justice, or peace, or control, or proving something. He doesn't have Dick's goodwill or Damians need to prove something. He doesn't have Jason's connection or Oracle's duty. Hell, he doesn't even have Bruce's own mission in mind when he fights. He fights because he protects what is his, and he has dug his claws into this family. Except, maybe he's not theirs anymore, maybe he never was.
Or: Tim realizes he's lost everything he has never had, then gets sucked 20 years into the past by the creepy old guy and decides to pull everything together, including himelf.

Summary
"Help," Loki says, his voice completely flat, "I've fallen and I can't get up."
"Did you just," Stark begins, staring over at him with some sort of horror. He's standing in the kitchen, cradling what appears to be a gallon of coffee close to his chest as if to protect it from Loki's villainy. "No! No, no, no! You aren't allowed to make jokes that I would make! You're evil! Be silent and brooding!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, is my existence bothering you?"
"Yes," Stark says, "there are actually few things right now that bother me as much as you do."
OR: in between the "puny god" scene and his sentencing on Asgard, Loki gets caught in a time loop. He'd his refund now, please.
(Odin is a shitty parent, the Avengers are confused, Loki is just trying not to go even more insane than he already is, and the author is starting to wonder why she has so much dialogue from these movies memorized.)

Summary
He stared down at his hands. The skin was smooth. There were no wrinkles, no raised and broken veins that bloomed like spider webs, and no tan from the relentless binary suns. How strange.
Obi-wan spends a year on Tatooine alone and grieving, but something is different about this alcohol induced hallucination. It feels too real. Too true
OR a time travel story inspired by the many wonderful ones that I have read in which Obi-wan goes back in time, doesn't realize it and inadvertently (By that I mean completely intentionally) saves the galaxy

Summary
In the corridor beyond her quarters, other Jedi were emerging from their own doors, most of them wide-eyed with shock. A few merely looked blearily concerned, and Aayla heard snatches of questions as she darted past, queries as to whether everyone experienced the same distressing vision. But those who clutched at their chests or throats, their weak points- those Jedi bore a muted horror in their eyes, and Aayla didn’t doubt they’d just suffered their own betrayals from trusted men.
(Force, her men. What happened to them?)
I know that ooo-ooh, birds fly, in different directions
Oo-ooh, I hope, to see you againSeries
