Past Imperfect Recs

past_imperfect fics have gone live!  It's a ficathon for time travel in all its various forms.  There are so many awesome fics in the collection, you really should go read them all.  Here are my favorites:

Summary: “This is not a sane idea,” the mechanic said.

Beautiful Sphene voice, and a really interesting take on time travel and Sphene's experiences.

away and somewhere else (6359 words) by Anonymous

Relationships: Julian Bashir/Elim Garak
Characters: Julian Bashir, Elim Garak
Additional Tags: Missing Scene, Time Travel, Time Shenanigans, Kissing, Canon Compliant
Summary: Garak picked through the detritus that remained of his shop, and considered his options.
It wasn't going to be easy. Of course it wasn't. The Federation had every reason to be exceptionally careful with the artifact the Bajorans had so courteously lent them—and every reason not to let a Cardassian in the same room with it.
(Set during 1.01. Garak receives an unexpected visitor—and is taken to an even more unexpected place.)

I'm not much of a Garak/Bashir fan, but I absolutely LOVE the way they've written Garak here, and it fits so neatly into canon.


A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy (1280 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: Star Wars: Rebels, Star Wars - All Media Types
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Depa Billaba & Kanan Jarrus
Characters: Depa Billaba, Kanan Jarrus
Additional Tags: Time Travel
Summary: Depa stumbled free of the maze, back into the atrium for the Lothal Temple. There was just one problem. The man kneeling between the desiccated bodies of the ancient Jedi was not her master.

Short but lovely, achingly beautiful.
