Summary
Snotlout waved his hands over the mirror. “Show me myself twenty years into the future!”
To the amazement of everyone gathered, the surface of the mirror rippled like it was made of water and a stone had been dropped into the center. When the ripples passed, a new image was left behind. Not the reflection of the roof of the Great Hall, like it had been before, but the side-view of a man who looked remarkably like Snotlout, but older.
“Holy yak dung, it worked!” Snotlout exclaimed, leaning further over the mirror. “It’s my future self! What is he doing?”
OR: 14-year-old Snotlout finds a magic mirror that shows the future. 34-year-old Snotlout is trying to balance two jobs he loves, raising his son, his long-distance relationship with his wife and daughter, and his closest friendships on Berk. Unfortunately, with the week-long Thawfest festival approaching fast, emotions are running high.

God Valley Divergence, MANGA SPOILERS.
Shamrock's role within the Freedom Fighters was acting as something of a secretary for his dad, taking notes, keeping track of their schedule, that sort of thing. But because they went up against the government, his dad was always scared that someone would discover the link between them and target Shamrock to try and make his dad give up on his goals. Already, the local armies of the countries they led protests in sometimes shot at them.
Or: What if Dragon managed to save Shamrock at God Valley?

Summary
When a Donquixote pirate driven by blind revenge shows up at Kyros's house, the present Strawhats, Sabo, and Law suddenly find themselves thrown into an expansive desert! And, as Sabo is quick to discover, two years into the past!
“We just need to figure out where we’ve been sent,” Zoro decided. “If that pirate just wanted to hit us in revenge, he might have sent us somewhere random. Same if he just wanted us out of the way to try and re-overthrow the country. If this was an attack with any thought behind it, he would have sent us somewhere where we would be surrounded by enemies.”
“That, or this is a desert island with no life, where we will all starve to death without any need to waste the lives of his own men,” Robin countered.
“So morbid!” Usopp shouted back, though his knees started to shake.

Summary
"I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, go back to sleep. When you need to worry, I'll tell you."
"Heh." Ryland ran his hand down his face. "It's terrible you know that it actually makes me feel better. What would I do without you?"
"Explode at a colleague at a conference and get expelled from academia and become a middle school teacher." Eva said, promptly.
"Wow, you've thought about that way too hard." Ryland laughed. "Middle schoolers might not vape in class, though. Maybe I should switch."
"Let's not joke."

Summary
I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.
Right up until Rocky asks another question.
“When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”
Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”
Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.
“Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”
I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.
“When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”
I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.
“Grace. When last time, question.”
I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.
“Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”
I can taste grass.

Summary
Fact 1 everyone on the carrier knows? that Ryland Grace does not 'do' relationships of the romantic or sexual variety (well, everyone except Lokken, but she's deluding herself a little bit).
Fact 2 that everyone on the carrier knows? Eva Stratt is also yearning for her first officer, she's just a lot better at hiding it.
Fact 3 that NO ONE on the carrier knows? They're all idiots. Except Yao. He totally saw this coming. -

Summary
As Colt Seavers is driving to Tom Ryder's loft, he nearly hits someone on the way there. When he finally sees who he nearly hit, his world will never be the same.
Because the man he nearly hit looks exactly like him. A carbon copy, if you will.
And what does this carbon copy of Colt Seavers do when he sees him? He runs.
And maybe Colt Seavers will regret chasing his doppelganger down when a 400-pound rock spider comes to his doppelganger's rescue.
(A story where Grace and Rocky have accidentally shucked themselves into Colt Seaver's world during the movie and get unwillingly tangled within its plot.)
