Take it (to the Left) Now Y'all
Time Travel stories that are a step to the left of your usual do-over. Perhaps the time travel was so far back/forward it no longer feels like the same universe, or is outside of the realm of cannon. Perhaps there is no actual time travel, but due to circumstances it SEEMS like there is (future knowledge, anybody?). Or maybe, there WAS time travel but in true comedy of errors fashion, no one realizes it. A place for all those wonderful, creative, off-beat not-quite-a-do-over stories.

Now she has to plot several rescues, look for at least one competent adult, and find the nearest library. Hopefully before anyone figures out just how much she knows.

Summary

Summary
Waking up in the past a few years after his ascension as Peak Lord, Shen Jiu makes the only reasonable decision: He runs away.
This is his turn at a peaceful life, after two failed previous ones, where his worries are restricted to growing his garden and figuring out a hot pool in ancient China.
Now, if only everyone else would get the message as well before they decided to entangle him in demon politics, sect problems, and a surprise courting attempt??
[Liu Qingge spluttered, and a red flush bloomed onto his golden skin. The man who had been infuriatingly resolute and bold seemed to crumble at Shen Jiu’s simple statement.
“What is it? What did I say? Why have you turned red?”
Liu Qingge averted his eyes, and gruffly responded, “If you want me to visit you, then just say so. I won’t say no.”
“Who wants you to visit?! Get out!”
Fond laughter responded to the incensed anger. “Shixiong, you’re holding your fan the wrong way.”
“OUT !”]

Summary
"The Egocentric Temporal Order (ETO) bias is the finding that self-initiated action-events are perceived as having occurred prior to simultaneous externally triggered events."
Or: Time is a polite fiction that only matters if you're paying attention, and Anakin is neither polite nor paying attention.
