Summary
In 1981 Severus Snape follows the Dark Lord when he visits the Potters on his deadly mission.
What he sees that night changes... well, everything
(Or what if a 21 yr old Severus had been in Godric's Hollow that fateful night and stumbled into the events of the finale of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and read the minds of a few time travellers)

[Mari smelled a rat, and Hermione’s reaction confirmed it.
“M...mum,” Hermione moved away and looked directly at her Mum as she prepared to lie. “I don’t know what you mean...” Mari smiled and tweaked her nose like she had done when Hermione was a baby. It has the desired effect, and happy her little girl was now smiling, she went on.
“You know what, sweetheart,” she continued, “don’t tell me, you’re very nearly an adult you are allowed secrets. Just tell me, is it just something that’s not Dad Safe? Like when we’d go own to London to visit the museums?”
Hermione nodded, remembering those days with her Mum when they would race to London be spend maybe an hour in one racing around a museum before attending some rally or protest, then talk about all the things they had seen that day so they could pretend to Andrew all day had been spent looking at exhibits. Andrew wanted his little girl to stay that way in pink dresses and pigtails. Mari wanted her to grow up tiny but fierce.
She wrapped her arms around her Mums waist and lay her head against her chest, holding on tight like she was a small girl again. “I didn’t want to lie, Mum, but it’s something I have to do. I know you understand that. It’s just...” Mari ruffled her hair and continued the thought for her.
“It’s just your Dad wouldn’t understand. I know, sweetheart, you’re just like me and your Grandpa Mickey, never met a cause we couldn’t champion. Your Dad has that kind of wilful blindness to you growing up that would think of you as a virgin after ten years of marriage and three kids” Hermione snorted at that, but Mari carried on. “I just worry sometimes, I don’t like the thought of that being taken advantage of.” Suddenly serious, Hermione sat up and stared at her mother, indignant again
“Harry isn’t like that Mum, he just needs my help. I’m his friend, I’m not going to abandon him...”
“I don’t think he is, honey, and I’d never ask you to abandon him,” Mari interrupted, and Hermione stayed silent. “But, he’s not the one in charge, is he? You told me about what happened to his parents and the anti-muggle movement. I’ve been reading that newspaper for three years now, I know what they say about him in the papers, I know all about it. Yet for all that he’s some kind of icon in your world, Hermione, he’s been left to live with his aunt and uncle who abuse him awfully. No, don’t interrupt me; let me finish. We’ve not done anything because we know that if we interfere, it won’t help – we’ve seen your godmother fight the system for her cases, and it gets nowhere, and she’s a social worker who isn’t fighting against memory charms, and god knows what else the wizarding world would throw in our way. From what you’ve told me, it seems like that headmaster of yours is controlling a lot or trying to. For some reason, he wants Harry there, and so he’s stuck there. Everyone kowtows to Professor Dumbledore, and yeah, ok, your Mum has never trusted anyone with that kind of influence over people, but honestly, I trust him about as far as I trust Mr Stephens at number 25.”]

Quinlan Vos had a reputation for chaos and a Master who took it in stride.
So obviously, Obi-Wan had to one-up him and get himself two such Masters.

[“Stars, it was because of you.” Quin groaned, his expression a mix of amusement and concern. “Windu looked so guilty when he called us in, I didn’t even have it in me to rile him up. What did you do?”
“In my defence, I was left unsupervised.” Obi-Wan huffed with a roll of his eyes, dropping the earlier innocent act, and Tholme didn’t quite manage to stifle his incredulous snort.]
[Tholme huffed, half-amused, half-concerned at that ruthless practicality, then turned his attention to the two younglings now clinging to his robes and the curiosity-caution-kinship emanating from both girls as they seemed to size each other up.
Well.
At least he wouldn't need to worry about Aayla making friends? ]

Summary
the chronological compilation of all the 'do or do not' snippets and ficlets
Summary:
When Obi-Wan dies by Anakin's hand, he expects that to be the end.
It is not.
When he opens his eyes again, all of thirteen but with forty extra years of experience, not even the dust, dread, and death on Melidaan can stand in his way. Obi-Wan had seen the worst that the galaxy had to offer twice over - he'll be damned if he lets everything happen the same way for the second time.
Enter one Jedi Master Yan Dooku, the lynchpin to so many of the galaxy's darkest turns in the future-that-was. Torn between a Master who doesn't seem to want him and a man wearing the face of the Sith who had once tortured him, Obi-Wan makes a choice.
Everything changes.

[Finding the expression to come genuinely, Yan offered his padawan a small, barely-there smile, but the boy’s joy at seeing it lit up his face nonetheless.
Luminous beings are we, Yoda had once said, and Yan knew it to be true, even if he had scoffed at the sentiment upon first hearing it.
But as the first strings of the training bond woven between their minds finally connected, Yan was almost overwhelmed by the Light that shone from his new padawan’s core, and he knew then that his Master had been right. For all that there were shadows around that Light, shadows of pain and grief and sadness more profound than Yan had expected at the boy’s tender age, Obi-Wan Kenobi was the veritable personification of the Light side of the Force.
“Ready, padawan?” Yan inquired as they made their way out of the Council room far more in-sync than a freshly-named Master-Padawan pair ought to be, Obi-Wan following seamlessly despite walking at Yan’s side instead of slightly behind him as was custom, a fact Yan noticed and stashed away, as he had with many other curiosities about his new padawan over the last few weeks.
“That depends, Master Dooku.” Obi-Wan replied, tilting his head to glance up at Yan, though there was a flicker of amusement in his eyes and a looseness to his shoulders Yan hadn’t seen before. “What do you need me to be ready for?”]
[(And as the boy headed for the door out of the Room, for just a second, superimposed over the padawan's retreating back, Sifo-Dyas saw another figure.
A man, his hair the same fiery red as the padawan’s albeit shorter, the cut almost utilitarian. He was taller than the boy though shorter than Sifo-Dyas would have been if they stood side-by-side, and his broad shoulders seemed even broader with the white plastoid armour he wore over his clothing.
A familiar white armour. The same armour, in fact, that has haunted Sifo-Dyas for years. Yet unlike the faceless men of his nightmares who were covered in it from head to toe, this man still wore his Jedi robes, the armour an addition, not the main piece.
And, if that wasn't enough to distinguish him from the blaster-bearing soldiers of Sifo-Dyas' visions, then the lightsabre looped through his belt and the insignia of the Jedi Order stamped on his pauldron certainly were.
The padawan stopped by the door and, ignorant of the ghost that copied his every move, glanced over his shoulder, his eyes bloodshot and haunted, his lips twisted in a small, resigned smile drenched in sadness and heartbreak. He made eye-contact with Sifo-Dyas for the briefest of seconds, then broke it and headed out, and Sifo-Dyas found himself staring sightlessly at the place the boy had stood, struck speechless by an inescapable, undeniable realisation:
the Jedi soldier's expression had matched the padawan's perfectly.)
((Later, once he had retreated to his quarters, Sifo-Dyas grappled with another thought, one more concerning than his entire exchange with Yan’s padawan:
For the first time in his life, he hadn’t been certain whether the vision he had been looking at had been a glimpse of the future-
-or of the past.))]
[(For Sifo-Dyas, motion meant unpredictability. It meant that he could never fully know, could never completely prepare.
For Obi-Wan, motion meant possibility. It meant that he could always influence, could always affect change.)
((Sifo-Dyas was old and jaded and all out of optimism. Obi-Wan’s youth guaranteed his optimism, and his ghosts gave it the teeth of desperation.))]
[they both froze when they heard the crystal’s song.
Once, Rael would have wondered what sort of padawan wouldn’t notice outgrowing their kyber. Now, having met Jedi who had never drawn their blade after acquiring their crystals as initiates, Rael wondered what sort of trauma could cause a kyber to mourn its Jedi while that Jedi was still alive.]
[Feemor froze, then blinked rapidly at the instructions. He wanted to believe that it was a coincidence, that the exercise was something else than what it seemed, or anything other than-
“That’s a rescue mission through enemy territory.” He stated flatly, voice gone inflectionless with his horror.]

Summary
A few months after the end of the Vong War, Luke Skywalker is brought back in time to during the beginning of his journey. Even though the galaxy is ruled by the tyrannical Empire and the New Jedi Order haven't yet risen, he decides to do a typical unorthodox Skywalker move: go off to save his father earlier. Jedi Master Luke, Fusion of EU/DC.
This will not be an easy "Luke and/or Vader goes and kills the Emperor and claims the Empire" story. In my opinion, if Vader had survived Endor, or another successful attempt to destroy Sidious, then when he moved to keep the Empire intact, he would have encountered a lot of antagonism in the Core due to his deeds and reputation, along with a fair number of the military, from people who didn't want to be blamed for oversights and blunders. Regardless of whether he redeems his reputation and makes the right amount of deals, Vader taking over may still be seen as a power grab by at least a fraction of the Empire. That said, Vader is intelligent and has Luke helping him. Both are going to have a lot of work to do.

Summary
Old Ben fights and finds enlightenment out in the sandy expanse. He meets Death as an old friend, knowing it is his time.
The Skywalkers, of course, disagree.
Obi-Wan Kenobi is punted back to his first Illum trip with all of the experience and wisdom of his old life after he has come to terms with everything and is basically an actual old wise-man. He blames (correctly) the Skywalkers and their ridiculousness for this, but realized he can change events and help lots of people.
He is Ben Skywalker, and he has people to protect... but he's also eleven, and that's a tough age.

Bookmarker's Notes
[Ignorance yet Knowledge, indeed.
While he worked and listened, Ben gave the droids a bit more direction on what to focus on as it was rather obvious that they weren’t being used to their full potential. In his past life he had known only after Anakin had made friends with them how underutilized they were and exactly how much spare time the droids had. The amount of chaos a bored droid could get up to with a nine year old feral child as a friend was a humbling lesson for most of the temple last time, but it was a situation that he could make use of now.
Droids were also great at specific tasks and most importantly they were tireless and only needed regular maintenance. The amount of downtime the Temple’s droids had was an issue, as well as the number of deactivated or abandoned droids that had once fulfilled roles but because they were out of sight ended up becoming out of mind.
Ben made sure to tell the droids to spread the word and bring back any that were in need of maintenance and to do the work that they had once done. Truly, all they needed to increase the number of active droids and repair those that were broken was permission and a directive from a qualified person. Eventually, someone would realize that Ben had been using Yoda’s codes for an alarming number of things, but it was the old troll’s fault that he was too lazy to update them. Talk about a walking security disaster waiting to happen (if, truly, it hadn’t already).
The temple had a significant portion of its infrastructure and security systems in disrepair especially in the less used or outright abandoned spaces. Between the droids working to fix what they could and their reporting of issues they couldn’t to the Quartermaster and Captain of the Temple Guard, it would go a long way towards increasing the security and efficiency of the temple.
If they just so happened to bring a few more obvious security holes to the attention of the proper authorities, even those that younger beings used for some fun, well Ben was certain they would either get over it or get better at evasion; either way it would be a positive learning experience for everyone. If the droids managed to point out the security and maintenance issues with the utilities from heat, water, and air circulation systems that would be a serendipitous coincidence. If, during the security audit that would inevitably be spawned from the sudden blitz on Temple Maintenance and Security, the droids themselves were to be pointed out as a rather glaring security risk…
Ben had a good feeling about it.
He, knowing how it felt to be on the other side of these kinds of shenanigans, was almost certain that Cin and the Captain of the Guard were currently looking around in suspicion wherever they were in the Temple. Ben rather doubted they had his level of experience dealing with aspects of chaos so their paranoia wouldn’t be enough to stop him.
What could he say, the Force works in mysterious ways.
Once he was finished in droid maintenance, he began to explore the lower levels of the temple as he was basically already there. There were a few sections that he knew vaguely about that he wished to find, but he also figured there might be plenty of other surprises for him to discover along the way. He had a separate pad with mapping software and an attached exterior scanner so he wouldn’t get lost, but could also eventually use it to update the official map in the temple servers once he properly updated them and their security.]
[It wasn’t truly his fault as he was inexperienced and currently in a role without any guidance or mentors as the leadership of his people had been abandoned for so long, but he was very glad that whomever this was had reached out. Not only because they had almost certainly saved his life, but because they gave him unvarnished advice constantly surrounded with phrases like “Trust, but verify.” “Who watches the watchers?” “Where does that ration come from, how did it get to your table?”.
Truly, the full diagnosis of a simple meal from how the dirt and plants or animals were created or maintained to the bafflingly intricate logistics of a full modern society that allowed the table, chair, plate, cup, silverware, and even salt to be available for a simple lunch had been a bit much, but had also expanded his horizons quite a bit.]
