Summary
Cal is really not sure how he got here. It’s not like he’s the chosen one. But, dank farrik he’s going to do his best—even if that means a few panic attacks and breakdowns along the way. Honestly though with his track record of running away and hiding from his enemies he’s not so sure how he will be of any help. How could a 10 year old stop a galactic war? At the very least he won’t let anyone die like he did. Maybe, that will be enough.

The Jedi, the Witch and the Clone Wars by Ottertale

Summary
Adult Badass Cal Kestis travels back in time to the Clone Wars and causes absolute chaos.
The thing is, when you slow something enough, eventually it stops.
Then it reverses.
Combine that with the most powerful teleportation spell the galaxy had ever seen.
Well, the Force didn’t know why they were so surprised they got the results they did.
Maybe this time balance would be found. Maybe the Force’s new champion was a better selection than last time. One can always hope.

Quieten the chorus by dragonLeighs
Fandoms: Star Wars: Jedi: Fallen Order Series (Video Games)
05 Aug 2025
Summary
Cal has been picking up echoes for as long as he can remember. For years they existed as nothing more than fleeting glimpses into the past. Mostly harmless and easily forgotten. But then war came, and the echoes he found became harder to ignore until it became too much to bear. His mind broke under the strain. Now voices plage him every waking moment, following him into sleep, dredging up memories that aren't his own. Failed by the Order who was supposed to protect him, Cal couldn't trust anyone with his rare ability, not even other Jedi. When his true identity is revealed, Cal is thrust into a mission to restore the Order and fight back against the Empire, but to do so he must repair his fractured connection to the Force and learn to overcome the voices.

Summary
Everyone dies eventually.
Cal figured he would die young, but he always assumed he would go out with a bang.
One year after the events of Fallen Order, Cal dies during a reconnaissance mission on Geonosis. He wakes up nine years in the past at the start of the Clone Wars. The Force offers him a second chance at life and the ability to change the future. It's a lot to put on a ten-year-old’s shoulders, but BD-1 was sent back with him and is prepared to help in any way possible.
Can he stop the fall of the Jedi Order before it even begins or is the fate of the universe already set in stone?
AKA: my take on the "Cal is sent to the past and is Obi-Wan's padawan" trope.

Catch & Release Anthology by miyaji_08
Fandoms: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) - All Media Types, Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003) - All Media Types
23 Jun 2023
Summary
When the clones break free of their chips a few months into the Empire's reign, they think they succeeded in Order 66 and wiped out the majority of the jedi. They devote all of their time and energy into destroying the Empire and saving what force-sensitives are left, doing whatever they can do make up for the lives they destroyed.
And then Fox finds Ferus Olin, and through a chance encounter with the leader of the Rebellion, the clones learn that the jedi might not be as lost as they thought.
Anthology containing:
Road of the Lucky
Ferus is very confused.
He was helping some rebel pilots escape Rithax. Then he was running for his life. Then he was captured, but apparently not kidnapped. Treated by the very people who attacked the temple and tried to mass murder the jedi. And then he was drugged and captured by pirates, and now he’s here.
Bled Dry in a Desert Tomb
Obi-Wan would like to stop running into people trying to kill him, please and thank you very much.
And on the contrary: 212th’s Ghosts would really appreciate it if their general stopped running from them.
In Place of Peace
When Wolffe learns some of the Jedi survived Order 66, he's confident finding them will be next to impossible. He certainly isn't expecting one to appear on a silver platter, unaware the war even ended, weighed down by half a creche they found in the outer rim.
(Jon hasn't met many clones, doesn't think they normally act like this, but as long as the children are safe, he won't complain about it.)
The Unfathomable Deep
Aayla pulls them from the dancers, from the ballroom, her hand twisted in his, and there is nothing in this world or the next that could make Bly let go. He’ll stay like this, at her side, forever if she’ll let him.
In the end, he gets three years.
Where All is Buried
When Order 66 fires early and the galaxy falls apart, Quinlan's entire world gets turned upside down.
So, naturally, he opens a day spa.
Stars Like Seeds of Light
Boil used to make fun of Wolffe's squad for adopting so many younglings.
And then he finds Cal.

Summary
Cal Kestis gets thrust into the past after narrowly escaping Darth Vader with his life for the second time.
His friends, his family, weren’t so lucky, but he tries not to think about that.
Now here he is, mining on some planet with the General Kenobi while also discovering a secret plot to destroy the whole planet.
Seriously. What the kriff was his life, man?
~~
Or, Cal meets a young Obi-Wan on Bandomeer, and finds himself intertwined with the once-General’s future in a way he never could have ever imagined (wait, was it once-General? Or future-General? Time travel was confusing, Cal thought.)
Or, or, the whole of the Star Wars timeline if Cal and Obi-Wan were brothers
