I'm just gonna need a run-down of your "Mace Unfucks the Timeline" AU. Please.

Just, like, a basic summary, you mean? Well, somewhere on this our beloved hellsite I once read a post that went something like “but seriously time-travel AUs, why not MACE WINDU” and then I could not find a fic like that and so in the end it turned out that I would not be able to rest until I had in SOME WAY contributed to the existence of such a time travel AU. Because seriously, my god, what a PERFECT concept. 

The overall idea is that Mace Windu got his hand chopped off and got electrocuted out a window, and somewhere before the fall or the Force lightning or the glass shards killed him he had a very chaotic death-vision of Order 66, as well as the clusterfuck of Mustafar and Yoda vs. Palpatine. Then he died. 

Then he woke up. 

Specifically, he woke up about fifteen years ago/five minutes before the Council meeting where Qui-Gon walks in all “so anyway the Chosen One followed me home, can I keep him?” Mace in his initial knee-jerk panic/disbelief was like “DIBS ON THE PADAWAN” and then proceeded to re-spend the next fifteen years trying to raise a Sith-killer instead of a Sith Lord, seriously alarming the rest of the Council, and accidentally realizing how fucked up both the Order and the Republic were in the process. Space ice cream and increasingly unbelievable claims of “I had a vision” as coping methods are involved. Also Depa Billaba is literally the only person he bothers explaining himself to and Qui-Gon “Gray As Fuck” Jinn wants to be best friends 5ever. Or maybe get married. Or maybe both?? 

Anyway there’s kind of a ton of it now, but all of my related blathering/meta/drabble-ish stuff is under the tag “mace windu unfucks the timeline”. Most of it is crack, some of it is, well, not so crack?
