Dendrochronological quantum entanglement (DQE).
First observed in the forested area around Brookings, Oregon, when three environmental protesters against a logging project reported experiencing the memories of their distant ancestors, of the Taa-laa-waa Dee-ni' people, just before a large redwood tree was cut down. The research lab associated with Dr Chapman in the Medical Arts building at the University of Pittsburgh followed up on these reports and began running experiments on this time-displacement effect, using cross-sections of sequoia trees and lab rats of the same direct genetic lineage in clinical trials.
They called it 'The Gordon Effect'.
However, an accident occurred.
Jake Burdett, a master's candidate in economics at the University of Pittsburgh, is now living out the memories of his distant ancestor, having been accidentally exposed to the Gordon Effect as he was sitting on a bench outside the Medical Arts building. The only hint at unravelling the effect is a single inscription in ancient Hungarian runes. Together, Jake and his ancestor must figure out how to undo the Gordon Effect, and send Jake back to his normal life.

Where Thou Art, That Is Home (Hetalia Fanfic, Part 2)
Book Two, part two of the "Home" series. Alice Carlea Williams, our brave young state, has lost her memory again! To make matters worse, she's been shipped off to another dimension and wakes up in a hospital, where she's told she has amnesia. As if that wasn't bad enough, her counterpart is taking her place in her dimension, and Alice is slated to be wed to... Prussia? Holy god, what is going on. And Kadi... Poor Kadi. She's got quite a few magnificent skeletons in her closet. They're about to be thrown out into the open for everyone to see. Recurring sentences, the all-too-likely future, strange souls, and ancient history are about to become more connected than they've ever been. Are you strong-willed enough to make the journey? Because if you aren't, you just might not make it out alive... "You're needed elsewhere." "Yin and yang. Two halves of a whole. Both are connected. Both are balanced, until now, aru." Rated PG-13 for magic, swearing, one or two suggestive themes, bloodshed, multiple intense scenes, harsh reality, and fantasy. Your feels very well may not end up totally intact, fair warning. But you'll enjoy it all, every second. Read at your own risk, but please don't give up on this story. Like, a gazillion Hetalia AUs in this. And other things, many other things. A character death will be involved, and it's NOT Alice, believe it or not. I do not own Hetalia nor anything else I use or reference. What I own is meager: the plot, the OCs, and the work it takes to create this story. Thank you for reading this far, and I hope you like what you read!Complete
