au verses

(but still canon-ish?) (i mean it’s blog canon for sure and you can pry my time traveler’s wife verse out of my cold, dead hands.)

THE FUTURE HAS ARRIVED

Since entering into a relationship with Kim Possible, Marty’s just trying to figure out life in the future-- everything from current music to texting-- without revealing he's from the past. The verse starts with Marty re-attending his junior and senior years of high school (this time at Middleton High) and extends further into the future after Marty and Kim are married and have children

FAMILY TIES

Interactions in this verse, an extension of the verse THE FUTURE HAS ARRIVED, are for Maggie and Emmett McFly.

CHRONO-IMPAIRED

Marty McFly is never on time and he’s quite frequently out of his time. (AU verse based on The Time Traveller’s Wife). The main verse for this is single-ship with kimpossibl but a secondary verse,  is open to other muses.

here it is-- also doubles as a sky high au?

TiMER

Founded in 1983, the TiMER company has had a success rate of 98% in matching people with their soulmates. For most, when the device is implanted in the user’s wrist, the time is displayed immediately, counting down to midnight the night before they meet their One. Marty McFly’s TiMER has always been blank. Nothing to worry about, they assured him. His One just didn’t have their TiMER yet. But with his friends and classmates TiMER all seeming to be working fine, he begins to worry he’s not destined to find true love. At least until October 26, 1985, when he’s accidentally sent back in time. Amidst the chaos of his arrival, the teen didn’t notice his TiMER ring, an indication that it had zeroed out. After being blank for years, he would’ve just assumed it had malfunctioned. He wasn’t going to meet his soulmate in 1955. No one had TiMERs back then. But then that night, as he left the Baines' house, he sees her.
