Time travel, redo fics
Sep. 15th, 2011 09:46 pmHi all! I'm looking for time travel fics where a character is sent back to their younger body with their memories intact in order to fix something that went wrong in the future (or even if it's entirely accidental, but they decide to fix things anyway). I don't want fics where they get sent back to the future quickly either, they have to be stuck there permanently, taking the slow journey home. I've looked through the time travel tags and I didn't see anything exactly fitting this criteria but I may have missed it.
If it's at all possible, links to fics hosted on fanfiction.net would be fantastic, but I am of course willing to take anything and everything. Het, slash and gen are all welcome too.
Thanks in advance!

In this one Rodney is the time traveller, but he's trying to fix Sheppard's life. From Sheppard's POV it fits the "slow journey home" part of your request.

(Per the author, there may be follow-ups to this fic, but while it shows Rodney making plans for the future, Remorse doesn't show him taking the slow path)
If I remember correctly (it's been a long time since I read it), Three Fates by Auburn and Eretria might fic your search criteria. It's a pretty dark story though, so mind the tags [Insanity, Homicide, Suicide]
There was no rational way to handle this.

Date: 2011-09-15 11:19 pm (UTC)Survivors by girlgonemadd (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=7640) The ZPM and the naquada generators were sabotaged before the Wraith attacked and destroyed Atlantis. John & Rodney escape after everyone else is drained. Rodney finds an Ancient Timetravel device and fixes it. He & John travel back to a year before the Wraith attack, their consciousness entering their younger bodies. McShep
These are pretty close:
The Origin of All Things by chocolatephysicist (http://wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=6697) They permanently end up on the Alteran home world 50 million years in the past. Eventually they realize that they are the original ancients. Radek/Daniel, Elizabeth/Caldwell, Teyla/Ronon, Carson/Lorne, Sam/Teal'c, Kavanagh/Novak, Cameron/Lam. Long (130,000 words) WIP.
Teenage Kicks by Rheanna (http://www.goldenmaze.com/teenagekicks.htm) Rodney and John both wake up in their younger 16 year old bodies on earth. Rodney is dealing with his parent's divorce and John is dealing with his mother's death. They spend a bit of time in the past until their issues are resolve, then they wake up back at Atlantis.
This one *might* be something you are looking for, but it's a stretch:
Gravity by Rheanna (http://archiveofourown.org/works/4087) Hologram Rodney turns stasis chamber John into an AI...48,000 years in the future. McShep.
An even bigger stretch, but you still might like these:
Country Roads (Take Me Home) by krabapple (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_santa/186028.html) John finds a "personal" time machine that transports him to earth in the past. He gets a job working construction on his parent's house & becomes a friend to his younger self & Dave. Eventually Rodney figures out what is going on and they get trapped in the past together for the summer as John deals with his family issues. McShep.
Not Your Average Imaginary Friend by very_rotten (http://community.livejournal.com/mckay_sheppard/1145232.html) Rodney spends a few years in the past as John's imaginary friend.
