Fic Tumblr: https://ashe-fics.tumblr.comNOTES ON CANON/CONTINUITY:
Quantum Leap and Sliders both have some problems with establishing rules or backstory, and then throwing them out the window, and so I've done my best with it, but part 3 is going into Kromagg stuff, and they are the worst for weird continuity issues. So while I will pull some stuff from the episode "Invasion", most will be from the later seasons, which retcons their first appearance in a few ways. And then other aspects are just made up by me.Additionally, a lot of QL is open for interpretation, and as I understand it the novel series had a different take on the rules of leaping and such. I haven't read any of the novels and I wouldn't even know where to get one at this point, so forgive me if I contradict anything you believe to be true about the Quantum Leap universe.

Sam's got a wrong to put right in his niece Maggie's life, but it seems he leaped into the wrong Maggie. Furthermore, he seems to be trapped in a jail cell with three other people Ziggy says don't exist.
Set between Season 4 and 5 of Sliders, and after the canon end of Quantum Leap, this is an exploration of the hinted idea that Maggie and Sam Beckett are in fact niece and uncle to one another, albeit from different universes.

Summary
After his leap gets cross-wired with a slide, Sam is entirely cut off from Al and Ziggy, but he also seems to be himself again.
It appears they have not just landed on an Earth not Sam's own, but they've travelled back in time to 1978. And to top everything off, Maggie has a whole host of problems to face, caused by the messed up slide.
The physics geniuses might not be able to work this one out alone - is there anyone here in the past that can help?

Unfortunately, they must navigate a Kromagg-occupied Earth Prime to salvage the machine, and in the process, discover a secret project at the university that never used to be there.
Quinn can't quite wrap his head around Colin's use of slang, even though nobody else seems bothered by it.
Meanwhile, a leaper named Sherri assumes the role of a young mother in order to prevent a terrible future, aided by a hologram who she calls John.
