Hey, guys!
I'm looking for a good time-travel fic. Key word being good. I've gone hunting in the archives, but I haven't really found any good ones.
As far as categories go, I prefer Marauder Era (whether it be the characters or the time), but any will do. I'm not a fan of Historical, D/A, or Poetry (can time-travel poetry exist? *ponders*)
Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

One of my personal favourites:
Smells Like Sirius Black
Actually, it's the only time travel fic I've read, but I really liked it :)
While I normally steer away from time travel fics myself, which probably has a lot to do with you asking for *good* ones :rolleyes: , but I have had a couple recommended to me by friends as being utterly fantastic.
Title: A Little More Time
Author: Pallas
Rating/Warnings: 3rd/5th years -- Character Death, DH Spoilers
Genre: Post-Hogwarts
Length: 98K / 26 Chapters
Summary:Title: Take My Heart AwayQuote:
Was it possible to save two lives in the past without altering history? Was it possible to give his parents a future twenty years after they had supposedly died? Teddy Lupin thought so...
Author: Hatusu
Rating/Warnings: 6th/7th Years -- None
Genre: Dark/Angst
Length: 18K / 19 Chapters
Summary:A Little More Time has been called one of, if not the best story on the site by more than a couple people I've talked to, so it almost has to be excellence incarnate. I know Take My Heart Away is two things you asked not to get (D/A, Historical), but I've heard nothing but good things about it, so at under 20K, it's worth a look.Quote:
Hermione goes back in time with one mission: to kill Tom Riddle before he ever comes to power. A difficult task, correct? An impossible one, she realizes, as a love between them grows stronger than anything she has ever known. Now Hermione has a choice to make. Will she condemn the Wizarding world to almost certain destruction, or will she take the life of the one boy she has ever loved?
I wrote a time travel fic about the final battle - Harry goes back in time to try to change the outcome and fights alongside his past self. It's called A Destiny in Time. It's gotten a good response, but since it was written before DH came out, it is totally AU. And maybe a bit D/A, so I don't know if you'd be interested...
Strange that other than the ones Jess mentioned, I haven't come across many others. Time travel is tricky, it really put me through the ringer! ;)

Inverarity's Christmas in Amber is lovely. Though it is historical -> Tom Riddle goes back to the Founders' Era.
Still I really dislike time travel fics and I really like "Christmas in Amber". :D
I feel like I should use the form that Jess used, so the other information:
Author: Inverarity
Ratings/Warnings: 1st-2nd, none
Category: Historical
Length: ~3000 words
Summary:
Quote:
A tale of Tom Riddle at Hogwarts. Like Harry Potter, Riddle never went home for Christmas. Instead, he spent his holidays looking for secrets hidden in the castle. What he found would cause death and sorrow for years to come.
This one is an oldie but a goodie!
Title: The Salem Witch Trials
Author: FullofLife
Rating/Warnings: 3rd-5th Years, Warnings: Character Death, Violence
Genre: Dark/Angst
Length: 61 K or 24 Chapters
Summary:It's a bit slow in the beginning, and it almost seems generic. But after the first few chapters I was hooked, and it really took on a whole new depth. Great read!Quote:
Harry, Ron and Hermione are spending a day in the small wizarding village of Hogsmeade when they happen to come upon a strange amulet lying in the snow. This amulet has amazing powers and transports the three friends to Salem, Massachusetts in the year 1692 when Muggles lived in fear of witches and wizards and the penalty for being able to perform magic was death.

Title: Time For Plan B
Author: Me...
Rating/Warnings: 6th-7th Years/Alternate Universe, Mild Profanity & Sexual Situations
Genre: Draco/Ginny (I'd say it's more of a humour piece, but those two are the 'stars')
Length: 67K/11 chapters (complete)
Summary:
Excerpt (chapter 5):Quote:
Life doesn't always go according to plan, so sometimes you need contingencies. But what if your backup to your backup plan fails? What can you do? Mix in hexes, rumours, a reverse-Oedipus complex, something about a pig, and set it all in the year 1975, and you are bound to have issues—serious, psychologically-scarring issues. Oh, and did I mention Draco and Ginny were in the middle of all this? Yeah. Fun times.
Yeah, I'm recommending myself. Such poor taste. However, if you're into humour and Draco being thoroughly humiliated (and possibly defiled) in the Marauder era, you just might like it. Plus, it's not horribly written. Just read the chapter titles. :DQuote:
His mother had kissed him—on the lips!
He swore to every god he could think of and cursed his father, the Sorting Hat, the Time-Turner, and especially Ginevra Weasley. When he got back to his time, he would be in need of some serious psychological counselling. Right now, he would have to settle for a scalding hot shower and possibly some manly crying.
I'm going to join in the shameless plugging and recommend two to you, one of which just so happens to be mine... :)
Title: Don't Look Back
Author: Erm ... me..

It's been a while since I read that last one, but I remember liking it quite a lot.Quote:

By some unspoken miracle, Dumbledore offers her the chance of a lifetime; a chance to try fixing what went wrong so many years ago. Given a mysterious satchel of seemingly random objects, Andromeda is sent back in time to that time and place. Can she figure out how to fix that old issue and still do the few things Dumbledore asks her to do??
