    Summary

    Like sleep, like death, Five Pebbles wakes again. Except- under mysterious circumstances, he finds himself impossibly thrown into the past to the day of his instantiation, at the very beginning of it all. Eons before the series of tragedies that ruined his and his sister-iterator's lives, he wakes again forced into the fulcrum of fate, his every action threatening to spiral out into unimaginable consequences. If he wants to save Moon and prevent the future from repeating itself, though, what other choice does he have?

    However, he's not the only one who fell through time...

    Bookmarker's Notes

    The most unique take on the "Saint sent Pebbles backwards in time, actually" I've seen.
    And that's a weaksauce compliment compared to the rest.

    Good original characters, worldbuilding of all kinds (physical framework, organisms, societal details)
    Contains many plotlines, from political intrigue to survival to scientific progress to epistolary friendships.

    Also one of the few fics that actually manages to depict the timescales and thought ability that comes with the experience of being an iterator.

    ignore your own reaction of "you think you're clever?" for the title, it will make a lot more sense... 12 chapters in? eh.

    Summary

    Sasha fixed Tim and Martin with a glare that was deathly serious. “But why should that stop us? It is— or was, I suppose, given... everything— our literal job to investigate supernatural events. If the police won’t figure out what happened to the Institute, we’ll do it. Doesn’t everyone deserve that? Doesn’t Jon deserve that?

    In the face of an unyielding apocalypse, the being that was once Jonathan Sims has a final, desperate idea. The archival assistants pick up the pieces.

    one of the most... grounded? TMA time-travel-fix-it fics I've read (and there are a lot of them)
    certainly, one that gets the human/moral aspect of it right, as far as I can percieve.

    also, it's complete, so the chance for WIPlash is zero

    Summary

    I've recently been unexpectedly promoted to lead a department in my organisation, wrote the anonymous emailer.

     

    As there was no one working here when I arrived, my manager, who is head of the organisation, had promised me the choice of my own assistants. However, without warning, he simply presented me with an additional assistant. This new assistant’s first act on his first day was to let a dog into the office. It took several hours to catch and clean up after this dog and it has only been downhill from there. I admit I'm not entirely sure what to do with this assistant now I'm stuck with him. I'm hoping you have some advice?

     

    Kind regards,
    New Manager
