Caught Some Place In Time is a Battletech and MobileSuitGundamSEED fanfic by AkumaOuja, and is hosted on SpaceBattles.comThe story is focused around a Self Insert, Benjamin Cairn, who awakens in a hanger buried below the ground on the planet of Rockland in the Draconis Combine with a piloting suit, a handgun, and the Duel Gundam. He's in a new land, on a new planet, with no connections and only the resources in the hanger to put to use in making his way in a dangerous new life going forward.It is also a scant few months prior to the Clan Invasion, and Rockland is one of the first targets in said invasion. What follows from there is a rapidly spirally out of the SI's control situation, as he's first pulled into the Yakuza, and then clashes with various forces in the lead up to the arrival of Clan Smoke Jaguar.Notable for its unique structure among the various Self Inserts it claims inspiration from, a heavy focus is placed on the adaptability of the Inner Sphere itself, and a large portion of the fic is devoted to the viewpoints of characters other than the SI, showing their thoughts and viewpoints on the situations they encounter and the events that unfold due to the SI's interference. | |

Unusual Weapon Mounting | |
| Caught Some Place In Time (Fanfic) / int_1f0efc09 | comment |
Unusual Weapon Mounting:By the standards of the Inner Sphere, the Duel's use of a "Gunpod"mount for its primary weapon, the Beam Rifle, is somewhat unusual, but not unheard of, but being able to swap between it and other similar systems on the fly in the middle of combat is an extreme oddity. | |

Impossibly Graceful Giant | |
| Caught Some Place In Time (Fanfic) / int_2592ee52 | comment |
Impossibly Graceful Giant: Both Battlemechs and the Duel are described as such, though the Duel tends to be even more so than all but the most agile Battlemechs in skilled hands. A minor plot point even revolves around the Duel's exceptional responsiveness early on. | |

Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo | |
| Caught Some Place In Time (Fanfic) / int_43983a5a | comment |
Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo: Canonically the Draconis Combine is a mishmash of both stereotypes about Japan's ancient past and its perceived future circa the 1980's, alongside a US perception of what Japan was actually like at the time. This shows on Rockland as an occasionally perplexing mix of Samurai mechwarriors, laser toting Yakuza, and other oddities. | |

A Mech by Any Other Name | |
| Caught Some Place In Time (Fanfic) / int_a247c4bf | comment |
A Mech by Any Other Name: Both the Duel Gundam and most of the mechs it faces are both identified as two entirely different breeds of machine, a Mobile Suit and Battlemechs respectively, and later Clan Omnimechs come into play. | |

Self-Insert Fic | |
| Caught Some Place In Time (Fanfic) / int_b9d11ad6 | comment |
Self-Insert Fic: The Primary perspective is that of Benjamin Cairn, a man who used to run security for relief work from 21st century Earth, who was something of a fan of the genre. How he arrived is currently unclear. | |

Badass Baritone | |
| Caught Some Place In Time (Fanfic) / int_e3b14ec9 | comment |
Badass Baritone: Ben is repeatedly described as "rumbling" when he talks, alongside similar metaphors, and is noted to have a deep, low voice on multiple occasions. | |

Humongous Mecha | |
| Caught Some Place In Time (Fanfic) / int_e6f18344 | comment |
Humongous Mecha: Both the Duel Gundam, and the setting's own iconic Battlemechs fall easily into this category, being towering mechanical weapons with startling arrays of fire power. | |
