Summary
Cody dies after only being deployed for two weeks.
He wakes up in his sleeping pod on Kamino to the buzz of his alarm
Cody dies. He wakes up back on Kamino. He doesn't know how, and he doesn't know why, only that it keeps on happening and he would very much like it to stop. He would also like to work out what it is that he needs to do to win this war, save his Jedi and save his people. He is not particular about the order in which he achieves those goals.

Kill The Child by Speedwagons_Glorious_Mane
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
24 Aug 2026
Summary
Midoriya Izuku has an immortality quirk, though not in the traditional sense. While most other immortality quirks work by not allowing the owner to age, maybe even giving them extra resilience, Izuku's quirk didn't quite work like that.
No, Izuku's quirk worked by sending his consciousness back into his four year old body upon death. Again and again, no matter when, where or how he died, he always woke up afterwards, his small fist clenched around a bright red crayon that he, until the moment of his resurrection, had been using to draw a picture of All Might on a piece of construction paper.
Tired after living for so long, Izuku goes to Eraserhead for help in ending it all only for the man to strike a deal; to wait until he was eighteen. What better way to kill the time than making sure he leaves the world a better place? Of course, stringing Eraserhead along for the ride and making the man regret his decision not to kill Izuku on the spot is just a bonus...

Summary
Harry hadn't meant for them to get trapped in a time loop. He had cast the spell, hoping it would immobilise Malfoy. It wasn't his fault he didn't know what the spell did, it was the Half-Blood Prince's. If he had labelled his notes correctly, Harry wouldn't be in this mess, and he wouldn't be stuck with Malfoy of all people until they figured out how to get unstuck. Which was becoming clear wouldn't be any time soon.
Follow as Harry and Draco realise they only have each other, and when the repeating week becomes boring and predictable, find ways to make it a lot more interesting.
OR Instead of almost killing Malfoy in his sixth year, Harry gets himself and Draco stuck in a time loop.

04 Nov 2025
Summary
“Oh, you are up,” Todoroki said. “Good. Bakugou texted the group chat. Apparently-”
“We have to pick up the cake,” Izuku said. “I know. Todoroki, I need you to listen to me. I’m going to sound insane when I say this, but I think I’m stuck in a time loop.”
His eyes got wide. “Time loop?”
“I’ve lived today, twice already. We’re supposed to go out and get the cake, and while we’re out, we're going to be attacked by a villain who can reflect attacks. I’ll use the last of the One for All embers fighting him.” He bit his lip. “I know I sound insane, but-”
“That sounds serious,” Todoroki said. “What happened to get you into a time loop?” He stepped into Izuku’s room and closed the door behind him. “We probably don’t have a lot of time to spare. If you’re in a time loop, how do we get you out? Do you know who put you in one? You said you lost your quirk?”
He couldn’t believe Todoroki believed him. He didn’t question it at all. It made Izuku feel full. “Yeah. Both days. We get the cake, a villain attacks, I lose my quirk, then the wedding goes well before I end up back in my room, and then I wake up on Kacchan’s wedding day again.”

Even My Shadow has Sinned by Shadowhale
Fandoms: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) - All Media Types
14 Oct 2025
Summary
The Force was screaming around him, mourning as the Jedi fell by the hundreds. For the first time, Vader was hit by the sheer weight of what he had done. The choices he had made. The Jedi were dying, and it was his fault.
He flinched away from the realization. He didn't want to think about it. He was doing this to save Padmé. That was all that mattered.
No.
No.
What would Obi-Wan say? The same thing he always said. 'One life was not worth a thousand deaths'.
He looked at the children in front of him. The scared, helpless children. Who were looking to him for help?
And Anakin Skywalker made his choice. The choice he should have made a long time ago. He reached outwards, not towards the Dark and its intoxicating song, but for what lay behind it — the Light.
The road to redemption is always a hard one to walk. Anakin Skywalker trapped in a time loop of the last few hours of the Republic is forced to learn that the hard way.

Summary
When A'Sharad gives Anakin an ultimatum - inform the Council about his massacre of the Tuskens or A'Sharad will do it instead - it's meant to put an end to an unpleasant stretch of indecision, to finally bring truths to light. A'Sharad doesn't expect a Sith Lord to decide that he's suddenly too great a threat to be allowed to live.
Tatooine is a strange place, though, with a will of its own. A'Sharad isn't going to be allowed to die so easily.

“What day is it?” Derek demanded.
“What?”
“The day! What day is today?!” Derek let Stiles go, but only so he could reach into his pocket and pull out his phone. He tapped at the home screen, and then went so perfectly still that Stiles was pretty sure this guy wasn’t human. No human could stand that still.
When it was clear Derek wasn’t going to move again without some prompting, Stiles said, “It’s Wednesday.”
“That’s impossible,” Derek whispered.
“Not really, it comes around every seven days.”
“This is impossible,” Derek said again, looking around himself, as if he was searching for something.

Counting The Days (Since We Refused To Break) Anthology by Otaku6337
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia, 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia (Anime & Manga)
28 Jan 2025
Summary
Izuku and Aizawa are caught in a loop of the USJ, dying and trying and failing over and over again until finally, finally, they break the cycle.
But they're not the same as the reality that they've returned to, and with the events of a single day changed for only two people, a drop falls into the ink of their world, and the story rewrites itself from there.
Anthology containing:
Climbing The Rigging And Counting Bloody Dreams (Never Quite There)
The USJ attack is awful and traumatic, and it goes worse than anyone could have predicted.But then it happens again, and again, and again, with Izuku and Aizawa caught right in the bloody, cycling centre of it.
~~~
Regardless, he needs to think now. Because yesterday was a carbon copy of the day before, excluding a few little conversation changes like people asking if he was okay and then things that changed because of his own actions, but Aizawa-sensei still died and then he threw himself in front of Asui and died, and then everything went black and he woke up to his All Might alarm again and-
And Izuku doesn't know what to do.
~~~
They both move the few inches to squeeze their hands together then, feeling the bloodstains that aren't there right now, but, more than that, feeling the body heat-warmth and knowing that the other is alive, present, with them. Right now, for a few moments, they're okay.
We Didn't Break Then (So Don't Falter Now)
Izuku and Aizawa survived the USJ timeloop. (They died so many times, killed and saved and failed over and over, and they'll forever be able to feel the blood on their hands-) They didn't break.But one success doesn't stop reality from returning, and the rest of their story is piling up in front of them, demanding to be faced. And what are heroes to do but to keep fighting?
So they'll keep on moving, and they won't break now.
~
"Thank you, Shouta." It's a deliberate word choice, just like it was when they left the USJ and when they left the Midoriya apartment, as it is deliberate how Izuku reaches out, palm-up and fingers splayed, bloodstains and a single rose-gold shimmer laid bare.
And Aizawa slips his own callouses and bloodstains against it, not-now rust flaking away between their warmth, and they squeeze thrice, just like in their death throes and promises and quiet grief. Like this, with this, things will be alright. Together, they'll make sure of it.~
(The longfic following from my Climbing The Rigging And Counting Bloody Dreams (Never Quite There)!)
Through Their Eyes, The Unbroken (The Moments Sweet And Bitter Both)
The loops have had a lot of ramifications, and whilst most of them are directly upon Izuku and Shouta themselves, there is also the wider butterfly-ripples, the things that have affected their friends and class and colleagues.The faculty, in particular, get to be privy to several of Shouta and Izuku's quieter moments, glimmers of Izuku's intelligence and of their knife and of naps to catch up on lost sleep.
~~~
For now, however, they simply observe from a distance as they watch Shouta hunch his shoulders, take two deep, shuddering breaths, and get his phone out to send a text or two off. It's halfway through lunch and Shouta has been blatantly on-edge for hours already, in his free periods or the times they pass him in the corridors, and now. One of his knees is bouncing, very slowly and slightly and deliberately.
And none of them were fully expecting Izuku to turn up at a blatantly quick pace, knocking very briefly upon the faculty door except he's already coming into the room, knife in hand and a faint frown on his face.
Forever Coming Home (To A Heartbeat He Can Always Trust)
Izuku is worried.Shouta can handle himself. It's literally just a patrol, and he's not terribly late.
Except Izuku has watched Shouta die far too many times to not worry, to not think of all of the worst possibilities, and to have to wait, in their home, Hizashi asleep and one of the cats keeping him company... It's an agony of his own.
Good thing that Shouta comes back to him unharmed, then.
(For my own birthday, I wanted to write myself some 28 on the mid-day of the 28 month, so here we are~)
Roots Intertwined (In Devotion), Keeping Them Together (Keeping Them Unbroken)
Shouta is having a bad night, and Izuku notices, comes to comfort him, to remind him that they didn't break.
And Hizashi gets home hours later to find them asleep, calm, and gets them set up for a content day together.~~~
Some combination of all of this is why, when he has woken up from a quiet nightmare for the third time tonight, Shouta isn't all that surprised to have a quiet knock on his ajar door, dark curls tumbling through the gap. Green eyes, too-bright for how dark the room is, blink at him.
"Want some company?"
"If you're about," the man returns, not wanting Izuku to feel pressure, but also unwilling to push him away right now. (Not when he's just watched Izuku die two-dozen times in his memories, clutching at blood and bone and gone-slack hands-)
Izuku doesn't quite falter at Shouta's bedside, but his hand wavers at the edge of it, until Shouta flicks over the edge of the blankets, inviting Izuku underneath too.
The Day Of The Unbroken, Of The Fractured
The only non-28 date I'll ever post a 28 fic on - 11/04 is the anniversary of the loops for Shouta and Izuku, and it's not fun :)~
No matter what he does he only sees the shatter and swell of a broken cheek bone, of an eye that is closed but he knows would be blank if he could see it, because nobody can be bent backwards over a solid wall at that angle and survive. It's odd how someone taller than him, mature and steady and strong, suddenly looks so much like a child. Are those the broad shoulders of a man, a hero, or are they the still-slim shoulders of a teenager?
They are both, perhaps, but always too much of a child for Izuku to ever think of anything else when that vision assaults him.
Through it all, there is a heavy, cloying smell lodged in his throat. It is salt water and burning wood and iron, sharp, acidic, ferrous. It is death. There's a certain quality to it, something he doesn't know how to quantify. Izuku knows that no matter how times he showers or throws up or tries to override the scent, he'll never be free of it. Not really. He can smell it, even now, blinking reality over the top of his flashbacks.
Izuku needs to get out. He needs to go now.

Stuck on Repeat: Darth Vader and the Twin Terrors by Haxong
Fandoms: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Original Trilogy
31 Dec 2024
Summary
Leia Organa is stuck in a time loop, repeating the day of her interrogation on board the Death Star. As she keeps defying Darth Vader, he keeps killing her. Yet every time after dying, she wakes up on the same morning again. How did she get stuck like this? How could she possibly convince Vader to spare her life and maybe even let her go? Well, apparently now she has all the time in the galaxy to figure it out.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to her, a certain farm boy is going through a similar experience. All Luke Skywalker wanted to do was get some power converters from Tosche station. Yet he has to chase after droids, rescue his family from Stormtroopers and listen over and over again to an old Jedi shamelessly lying to his face about his birth father. There's only so many iterations of this pointlessly repeating day a young man can take before he'll do something crazy.
