== Fan Works ==
* The ''[[Harry Potter]]'' [[Slash Fic]] ''Mobius'' by geneticallydead.
* ''[[Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality]]'' has four of these to date, the most notable one being when {{spoiler|Harry pulled a prank on himself using a Time Turner, an Invisibility Cloak, two pies, and several sheets of parchment.}}
** His attempt to use Time Loop Logic (see Real Life below) as a manually-performed perfect algorithm was... less than successful. The output: {{spoiler|'''DO NOT MESS WITH TIME'''}}
* ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'' has these every few chapters, and so many that any unresolved ones are offering {{spoiler|Kyon protection from the IDSE.}} As soon as he resolves the last one...
* In the ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' story ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6575772/1/Yabba_Dabba_Joes Yabba Dabba Joes]—Destro'', Destro went through almost three dozen agents trying to kill members of the Joe team in their cribs before finally accepting that time travel in the Joe-verse doesn't allow changing the past.
* The ''[[Ranma ½]]'' fic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/261328/1/Paradox Paradox]'' has a stable time loop despite the name. {{spoiler|Shampoo strands Ukyou and Ryouga in the past, where they become the real parents of Ranma who is stolen at birth by Genma.}}
* One ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fanfic (the name escapes me}{{verify}}) had a four -year -old Harry being sent back in time to when his parents were newly married. In the end {{spoiler|Harry gets sent back to the present, completely forgetting everything that happened. Meanwhile in the past, Sirius convinces James to to make Peter his and Lily's secret keeper so they won't be killed and the future Harry came from will never be}}. ...[[Downer Ending|yeah]].
* In the ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' fic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6904903/1/Chasing_An_Empty_Dream Chasing an Empty Dream]'', {{spoiler|after a few characters end up centuries in the past curtsey of [[Black Magic|England's magic]], Germany ends up saving Holy Roman Empire's life. Moments later, he's shocked to find out he had just saved himself}}.
* In another ''[[Harry Potter]]'' comedy slashfic (possibly ''Harry Potter and the Sword of Gryffindor''?{{verify}}), Hermione steals a time turner for the purposes of [[It Makes Sense in Context|"kinky sex" that will also hurt Death Eaters.]] This is explained by Hermione at the time saying that she sort-of got it through a time paradox, but not to worry about it. Later, Harry is sent to put it back in the Department of Mysteries at the same time as stealing it in the first place. On the way, he runs into Mad-Eye Moody, who says that the DoM is being guarded after the events of [[Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix]] and that he should probably not venture in there. Upon exiting in failure, Hermione suggests that he just give her the one that he had to put back. This leads to Harry having a [[Logic Bomb]] moment along the lines of "But you gave this to me after traveling through time... and I just gave it to you... where did it come from?!"
* The [[Marvel Universe|Marvel-verse]] fanfic ''[http://archiveofourown.org/series/10104 Dreams of the Waking Man]'' {{spoiler|is all about one giant stable time-loop.}} In the far future, Deadpool helps Cable and Hope to return to the present, which causes a chain of events that influences the entire Marvel universe {{spoiler|and ensures Deadpool will always be in the Future to help Cable and Hope to get back to the present.}}
* The ''[[Harry Potter]]/[[Sailor Moon]]/[[Ranma ½]]'' fic ''[[The Girl Who Loved]]'' incorporates at least ''three'' stable time loops, including the canon one responsible for Chibi-Usa's presence in the past. Another involves several people from the Crystal Millennium era going back to the 1990s to ''pretend to be the Black Moon Family'' and ensure that Senshi's the conflict with them remains basically bloodless.
 
* ''[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12682621/1/The-Parselmouth-of-Gryffindor The Parselmouth of Gryffindor]'' by "Achille Talon" -- an ambitious [[Alternate Universe Fic]] for ''[[Harry Potter]]'' -- at one point has Hermione (in possession of the Time Turner) receiving ''written instructions'' from her future self on how to ensure that a stable time loop responsible for saving her life happens.
