I: On the Far Side of Our Doom by NoPlace35

Summary
Eivor was cold. He was falling. Pain wrapped tight around his neck. Something filled his mouth, hot and metallic. Beside him, Basim was choking, a hand pressed against his chest. Blood spilled past his fingers. Eivor tried to reach for him, to hold him, but his body wouldn’t move. He couldn’t move, he couldn’t breathe-
One minute Eivor is in a cold cave in Norway, Basim’s blade at his neck, the next, he’s waking up in Kjotve’s clutches, three years earlier. This time, he knows Basim’s treachery, Sigurd’s hubris. The threads of fate are woven long before his birth, but what happens when one, tiny snag unravels the tapestry? The Nornir send him back, armed with foreknowledge, to fix their mistakes.
He just hopes Basim isn't beyond saving.
On hiatus until I finish my PhD

Summary
“Could show you,” Cal says, and before Bode can panic about Cal trying to touch him through the Force the scrapper grows an impish little look. “Well. Maybe not exactly, but I can think of something else that's just as good.”
Sucking air through his teeth, Bode mocks a frown. “You ever heard one of your ideas? Tend to be a little dangerous. Heads rolling, limbs flying, that sort of thing.”
“Only if we do it right.”

Summary
Travelling endlessly through the untamed territories of the Outer Rim, renowned bounty hunter Din Djarin meets a lot of people. Some of them are more interesting than others. And some of them have a truly awe-inspiring number of ponchos.
Cal Kestis is a remnant of a decimated Order, but there's plenty of hope for the future. It's time to rebuild, and perhaps make some new friends along the way.

Summary
Brad Colbert and his team are sent back in time with a simple mission: localise and destroy a crucial piece of technology that could change the fate of the war between humans and machines. Finding himself at Dartmouth in 1998, he should have expected things to turn out far from simple. But running into his future commanding officer and risking creating a time paradox? That’s just the beginning.

"So, what, you want to date me?" Brad asked, tone decrying it as a sissy, junior high, New England WASP piece of sentimentality.
Which wasn't entirely off the mark.

Summary
Nate nodded, once. Decisive. "You'll bunk with me then."
Brad swallowed, throat suddenly dry. "Thanks for the offer, sir, but it's hardly necessary. I'll figure it out."
Nate smirked a little, steel behind the amusement. And suddenly Brad had a motherfucking recon Marine officer standing in front of him, staring him down, unblinking. He resisted the urge to straighten to attention. "I don't believe I made an offer, Sergeant. With me."

Summary
Maverick doesn’t regret it when he takes the hit, when the last thing he hears before he ejects is Rooster screaming his name.
But then he wakes. Not to a vast, white snowfield behind enemy lines—but to an inverted cockpit of an F-14.
And to Goose, alive and well in the seat behind him.
—
Or; the time-travel fix-it in which TG:M Maverick wakes up at the start of TG (1986).
