Summary
Hazily, Steve forced his gaze downward to take in his clothes. He was wearing his Scoops uniform, the fabric covered in varying amounts of ash and dirt, the shitty thing paired with his new pair of blue Adidas sneakers—the ones Dustin had insisted he buy because they apparently matched his work uniform.
Shakily, he brought a hand up to the back of his neck, flinching as he felt a half-formed scar underneath his fingertips.
"What the hell?" Steve swore, staring down at the blood that now covered his hand.
A crow squawked somewhere in the distance, the sound reverberating around his skull painfully.
Or: Steve dies at the end of season 3 and gets transported to the start of season 4 as a ghost.

Summary
Gi-hun nods at him, eyes never leaving In-ho’s face for a second, “Dae-ho will be back with more.”
And there it is again. That blind faith in others. In the goodness of people.
It makes In-ho sick.
In-ho allows himself to gaze back at Gi-hun for a few more seconds, committing his features to memory, taking in the pure trust in his eyes, knowing that he’ll never see that look turned toward him again.
A single clip of ammunition, pressed into In‑ho’s palm like a benediction.
The metal is warm from Gi‑hun’s pocket.
For one awful second, In‑ho imagines loading his gun with it and shooting the other man in the chest, just to see that hope snap in half.
Or: In-ho gets stuck in a time loop, repeating the failed rebellion over and over again until he eventually gets it right.

Summary
"... Steve?" a familiar voice said as he reached the top, causing the sloshing to instantly stop.
Steve froze as he watched Barbara fucking Holland staring back at him from his pool, her hand wrapped in a makeshift bandage.
"I thought you went inside?" Barbara continued at Steve's lack of a reply, a confused expression drawn across her features.
Like a deer frozen in headlights, his heart stuck in his throat, he watched blearily as she slowly stood up, her hand still wrapped in what looked like a teatowel.
She moved toward him, now looking concerned. "... What are you wearing?"
Or: Steve and Eddie travel back to season 1, try to avoid their younger selves while simultaneously trying to fix things.

Summary
“Yeah, whatever, mate,” Tangerine sighed, looking skyward for guidance only to receive a massive fuck you as the fluorescent lights burned holes into his retinas, temporarily spotting his vision.
He listened as Lemon let out a low sigh, the sound of it grading against Tangerine’s nerves as he realized that they were wasting time.
Any second now, Ladybug would be rummaging through luggage, searching for the briefcase—snatching it and inevitably restarting this whole mind fuck of a day. It didn’t matter if Tangerine managed to avoid getting shot to death; he'd end up with his arms chopped off once they reached Kyoto if the case and the White Death’s son weren’t intact. Then, instead of being treated to the peaceful release of death, he’d end up here again, sitting in front of Lemon with two packets of fucking biscuits clutched in his hands as he’d no doubt try to fight off the trauma of dying and coming back to life like he was fucking Jesus Christ himself.
It was complete and utter bullshit.
Or: Tangerine gets stuck in a time loop.

Summary
“I have to go,” Aziraphale said promptly, not looking back as Metatron yelled after him.
He listened to the way his yells grew further and further away as he rushed across the road, careful not to get hit by an oncoming car.
That would have been a very anticlimactic end, plus it would have been a lot of paperwork.
“Oh, dear,” Aziraphale muttered to himself as he came to a stop in front of the Bentley.
Crowley stared at him from behind his dark shades, not saying a word.
Or: Aziraphale goes back to Crowley. (Major Good Omens season 2 spoilers)

Summary
“Eddie!” Steve yelled out, eyes focusing on him, ignoring the bats swarming around them.
He saw Eddie collapse to the ground. His heart felt like it stopped, he needed to help him. His thoughts started to get more frantic and drowsy as the world slowly started fading in front of him, his vision filling with black dots.
Or: Steve and Eddie travel back to season 3.
