Summary
Welcome User!
Congratulations! Due to surprising the Reaper with unprompted self-sacrifice, and unscripted death time.
The Reaper has bestowed 'Sacrifices Second Chance' onto you. You have been granted a Second Chance.
Due to positive and negative points accrued throughout your previous life, you have been designated the model [Fixer-Upper], which most closely matches your name, gender, and soul departure time.
Fixer-Upper (Thadwick Mercer) has been assigned to User (Thadius “Thad” Shepherd).
Make sure to adjust this model's projected fate. You won’t surprise the Reaper twice.
Racial adjustment has been assigned and prompted. Model (Thadwick Mercer) has been re-imaged from Human Interface to Outworlder Interface. Outworlder Racial Gifts have been assigned. To view Racial Gift access Help Desk.
Help Desk is currently unavailable.
“Thadwick Mercer?!?” He said out loud. “That A**, from the web-novel? WHAT THE ABSOLUTE F**K!”
Okay, so he’s not dead, but being Thadwick Mercer isn’t much better. And thus begins one man's journey to escape a fate worse than death.

Summary
Simon waited.
Waited for them to apologize. Tell him there’s nothing they could do. That he wasn’t worth the trouble or resources, that he wasn’t worth the time.
But that never came.
Instead, after a second Grace came back on the line, his voice sounding determined now. “Alright,” he said. “Hang tight.”
Simon blinked slowly. “What?”

Summary
Dunk had once gotten a fortune from a dreamspeaker in Flea Bottom: You're going to get punched in the face a lot. A more accurate warning would have been: You're going to punch and be punched in the face lots of times by the love of your life. And you'll both probably deserve it.
Five times when Dunk and Lyonel met, fought, and kissed before Ashford + once when only one of those things happened.

Please Don't Let me Fuck This Up by OverAnalyzers

Summary
An AU of MachineFey's delightful Fixer-Upper.
Farther down the timeline, The Church of Purity's plan to capture and implant Thad comes to fruition. To Thadwick's horror, due to the preventative measures set up in this "Fixed-Upper" model, he's suddenly back in control of his own body instead of Thad. Can he manage to keep from messing things up like in Canon? Can he finally earn the acceptance of his family he's craved as himself? Will he be able to save Thad?
All he knows is the desperate thought in his head. Please don't let him fuck this up.

Summary
Five years after Shroud is defeated, Waterboy lives comfortably as a high-ranking SDN hero. The Z-team, now a well respected hero troupe, lives on in something just to the left of glory. Everything is peaceful. Or, at least, as peaceful as it can be.
And then he's flung violently back into the past, forced to watch as old wounds open. Okay. Whatever.
There's really not much he can do without messing up the future, but... maybe there's some comfort he can provide. Some life he can bring to his past teammates' eyes.
It's the least he can do.

Summary
Snoke is gone, but his death has solved nothing between Hux and Kylo Ren. The First Order's trust in their leaders wanes as they vie for power over one another, and if they cannot learn to work together, they may both lose everything they've worked for.
Forging that alliance after years at each other's throats will not be as easy as letting the past die, however—they will face subterfuge, enemies in the shadows, treachery, and being stranded on a hostile planet with creatures out of nightmare, barely escaping constant danger with their lives while having only one another to rely on.
And that is just the beginning.
