126* Recommended by RedCoral
127* ''Status:'' Dead; last updated February 2019
128* ''Synopsis'': Set after season 2. Several months have passed since Rick left and Earth became a part of the Galactic Federation. Human culture is gradually being washed away by the tides of assimilation, and Morty’s just trying to adjust to the new world order and not feel too bitter about his Federation mandated career-path. But suddenly he’s being plagued by hallucinations of memories that aren’t his and lives he’s never lived and he feels like he might just be losing his fucking mind. He doesn’t understand what any of it means, what could possibly be wrong with him—and this time Rick’s not around to fix things.
129* ''Tags:'' Post Season 2, mature rating for a reason, hurt/comfort, mindfuck,
130* ''Comments'': A take on what happens post-season 2 after the finale, dealing with Morty's experience on being back on Earth after the events of "The Wedding Squanchers". Excellent writing and stellar storytelling, and gives deep, in-character conversations with every main character on the show. It's probably one of the most well-written and well-known ''Rick and Morty'' fanfictions out there.

150* ''Synopsis'': Rick never expected himself being stuck caring for a young Morty; one day he was minding his own business and then everything he ever knew would change as if the multiverse itself was determined to displace him. However, being stubborn and resilient is the only thing he knows how to do.(Younger Rick, Baby Morty, A/U elements, later chapters get darker)
151* ''Comments'': Explores the idea of what happened if Rick had reconnected with his family when Morty was born...and happened to be babysitting the day the Galactic Federation came to blow up Earth. A long and excellently written fic about Rick getting stuck as a baby Morty's primary caretaker and figuring out how the heck to actually do that while dealing with his own stuff.

The depiction of the Twelfth Doctor is more along the lines of what he's like in Series 9 or 10, which makes his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech fit his character well.
