I love What-If-This-Had-Happened-Instead-of-That fics, if that's a genre. I also love Peggy Sue fics.

Can't think of particular favorites off the top of my head re: those, but I do like:

Level 65 Paladin Looking for Group - BBC Sherlock, John meets Sherlock through a WoW group

Anything by Broken-Vow for Phantom of the Opera - my favorites include a Modern AU, a Modern AU Kid Fic, and an AU where Erik's still in Persia building his palace and Raoul is brought in/hired as a second idea man and Christine's his wife (I am terrible at summaries, OMG)

I've heard of the first being called Elseworld fic (I assume a reference to Marvel??) or canon AUs. What's Peggy Sue fic?

TV Tropes sums it up a lot better than I can:

"Not to be confused with Mary Sue, a Peggy Sue fic gives a character, usually at the end of a story or series, the chance to go back and relive her/his life with the knowledge he gained from living through his story the first time."

I love them especially for stories with big twists and/or character deaths because I love reading about the main characters thinking about their own futures and reacting with previous dead/evil characters. And then you throw in all your classic time travel tropes and I just love it.

A lot of them tend to just follow the already established canon path rather than break off and do something new, so really good ones are hard to find.
