Line 40:
'''Someone from The Past ends up in [[The Future]]''': Also a common ''[[Star Trek]]'' plot (although not quite as common, and usually done in a more unusual way than straight out time travel. Usually.) Here's looking at you, Sam Clemens.
 
'''Someone from [[The Future]] ends up in [[The Future|a different Future]]''': Can involve either going forward or backwards (but generally backwards). Does your mind hurt yet? Will be generally played for laughs (like somebody complaining that the technology that would be super-advanced to somebody from [[The Present Day]] is an antique) or for Continuity-based [[Fan Service]] (''Trials and Tribble-ations'', anyone?)
 
'''Someone from The Past ends up in Thea different Past''': There's a LOT of Past. Can usually result in one Historical Figure or archtype meeting; befriending or fighting another. Ninjas, Pirates, Napolean, Hitler, Genghis Khan; etc.
Spam with other types for time travel annoyance.
 
Line 92:
* In ''[[Soul Chess]]'', a ''[[Bleach]]/[[Code Geass]]'' crossover, {{spoiler|Lelouch}} finds himself going back 134 years BEFORE Britannia invades Japan.
* In the ''[[Halo (series)|Halo]]''/''[[Mass Effect]]'' crossover ''[[The Last Spartan]]'', Master Chief is finally found on the ''Forward Unto Dawn'' and is promptly thawed out...131 years after the events of Halo3. Being [[The Determinator]], he gets over the prospect of never seeing anyone from the 26th century again fairly quickly. Not without his reservations of humanity joining [[The Federation|The Citadel]] or being nominated to become a Spectre though.
* In the 1970s-vintage ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]'' fanfic "Mind-Sifter" by Shirley S. Maiewski (which can be found in the 1976 paperback collection of fanfiction ''[[w:Star Trek: The New Voyages|Star Trek: The New Voyages]]''), Kirk, rendered insane by Klingon interrogation with the mind-sifter (from the episode "Errand of Mercy"), plunges through the Guardian of Forever and ends up in the United States in the 1950s, where he is placed in an asylum. He is periodically lucid, however, and his occasional mentions of things like a turbo-lift puzzle his nurse.
