11* This author has produced a respectable amount of ''Quantum Leap'' fanfiction [[ElsewhereFic set from the perspective of those working at the Project]]. Outside of the OriginalFlavour fic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13795511/1/The-Other-Guy The Other Guy]]'', where Sam leaps into Donna's ex the day before she meets Sam, the bulk of their works concerns [[PerspectiveFlip a look behind the scenes of what occurred during Sam's leaps]], including [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13796522/1/While-You-See-a-Chance "Star Crossed"]], [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13797865/1/No-Peace-I-Find "M.I.A"]], [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13802063/1/Pressure "Last Dance Before an Execution"]], [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13803859/1/With-or-Without-You "The Leap Back"]], and, most notably, [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13796010/1/Time-in-a-Bottle the events]] [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13864777/1/Not-Enough of "Mirror Image"]] [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13873094/1/Late-in-the-Evening and]] [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13873803/1/The-End-of-the-Road beyond]] in order give the show [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13874084/1/Against-All-Odds a proper conclusion]].

22* ''Recommended'' by @/{{Aoirann}}
23* ''Status'': Complete
24* ''Synposis'': Post-Mirror Image Sam dutifully continues leaping around, never expecting to see Al again when the pair are reunited just in time for one of Sam's strangest assignments yet. As Odin, moments before Loki's fall into the abyss, Sam must find a way to deal with these family issues and, with luck, prevent the start of the path that leads to Ragnarok.
25* ''Tags'': Crossover with ''Film/{{Thor}}''
26* Review: Not only does it manage to prevent the events of ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' it also gives a satisfying end to the series.

37* ''Recommended'' by @/{{SpideyTerry}}
38* ''Status'': [[{{Uncanceled}} Active (as of November 16th, 2023)]]
39* ''Synopsis'': Picking up from "Mirror Image," Sam and Al continue setting right what once went wrong - facing new and old dangers along the way.
40* ''Comments'': Solid work. While not every story is 100% perfect, Sam and Al remain quite in-character, supporting/minor characters from the series are used to good effect and lingering plot threads (such as the Evil Leapers and Sammie Jo) are given more attention. This has all the markings of a dedicated staff, so it's really worth checking out.

42''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7012119/1/ Quantum Leap: Desert Night]]'' by Rhov
43* ''Recommended'' by @/{{LinuxKnight}}, @/{{Belphegor}}
44* ''Status'': Complete
45* ''Synopsis'': Sam leaps into a man riding a Harley through the desert with a few million dollars of Mafia money in his duffel bag. Al's more worried about the location: New Mexico, 1995!
46* ''Comments'': A good trip, it involves some Too Close To Home, including chance meetings with some of the PQL staff, has a little romance, action, excitement.
47** @/DynamiteXI: It ''sounds'' like Dean Stockwell and Scott Bakula! Plus, I like the bits where Al hears Ziggy in the Imaging Chamber, the scenes set inside Project Quantum Leap, and the '90s references that the actual show logically couldn't get away with. The fic is written intelligently, complete with detailed author's notes, and is filled to the brim with SceneryPorn and trivia about New Mexico. Had QL continued several seasons further into TheNineties and beyond, I could have easily seen this as an actual two-parter. And, that ending...WOW!
