Maybe you fell into a rabbit's hole then ended at the past or future, or maybe even at a different (parallel) dimension from your own. You met someone in the new place, someone you feels certain connection to whether it is brotherhood or crush or love or even outright hate. Then just when you begins to adjust to the new environment and restructured your life something happened and you were pulled back to the starting point, your original time/place/dimension/planet. What are you going to do when you still have an unfinished business with that special someone? Welcome to a place where only your imagination is the limit. Dive into the deepest ocean, go to the distant galaxies, explore the mysteries of the middle earth etc. Most importantly, have fun. ;)


1. If you fell at the past and by going back to your own time in the same timeline maybe that someone is already become old or even passed away. Here you can try to find your way back even on the risk of changing history or perhaps you were meant to be there on the first place. Or perhaps it would be a bittersweet reunion with that special someone, now in their twilight years. Hey, maybe they are your own grandfather/grandmother.

2. If you fell at the future that someone might be your own descendant. You already fell for him/her (oops) hard despite knowing that you should form a family in your original time and pass the genes in order for that someone to be born later. Angst-potential abound here but please be creative, perhaps you could invent a win-win situation here.

3. Different dimension/planet, that rabbit hole is sort of a magical/technological portal/device that brought you into a world very much different from your own. Culture shock etc aside, what if that special someone had learned about your home dimension/planet and actually planning to conquer and enslave your homeworld? What are you going to do now, would you for the sake of love/affection choose to live as part of the would be conqueror or would you become part of the resistance while knowing that the only way to stop your special someone is to kill him/her?

4. The Past. You arrived at a certain point of time and you met him/her. When you two becomes close suddenly you realized that something is wrong here, that certain events that supposed to happen at this time had failed to occur on the first place and the change is snowballing from there. To set the course of history back on tract the life of your new friend (maybe more) must be ruined (or ended) to allow certain events to happen. What are you going to do?

5. The Future. You arrived just before the world supposed to end but there's still enough time for you to try your hands on preventing it. On the process you formed a strong bond with someone, together trying to prevent Armageddon. At certain point of time you realized that the only way to prevent it is to kill certain mad scientist/wizard/witch/politician before they could start the chain of events that eventually lead to this mess. The catch is, by killing the culprit you also would prevent your special someone to be born or survive childhood on the first place.

6. Past/Future. The reason why you get the feeling of special connection is the other person is YOU in another time period. It could be reincarnation or linear timeline or alternate universe/dimension. Same soul, different housing.
