There exists the timeline T0, which is all of history if nobody messed it up with time travel. T1 is created when the "first" time traveler messes with it. Now an other traveler makes T2, trying to "set things right" as close to T0 as possible.
Pretty standard, yeah? But what I can't think of is a story where the native residents of T1 (who don't exist in T0) want to defend their home timeline from the T2 invader from the future, who wants to effectively unmake them.
Usually the story has the extras helping T2 "fix" things back to how they were "originally" but for them, T1 is the original.
@pseudonym Hmm… there is something similar, but it isn't the main plot.
Check out #NathanVanCoops's #InTimesLikeThese series. I can't remember which book, but IIRC, there was one wherein natives of a particular timeline is actively defending their existence.

Emily had an extremely aggressive auto-immune disease that attacked her skin cells. She began receiving cybernetic transplants when she was five, and by the time I met her, her entire outer body was essentially completely synthetic. She worked in the reactor on Qwabe Station, and had the most biting sense of humour I'd ever seen. She was also my closest friend.
Without meaning to, I've stumbled into reading several scifi books about the environment recently, & it was interesting to see the different approaches they took. So naturally I rambled on about it on the blog...
I need to go through half finished canvases. Ten or so years ago I did #spraypaintart but we moved to an apartment and I lost space to do it. I hadn't finish this because of the cracks that got worse over time until I forgot it existed. Last night on a zoom call with some local writer friends I decided to fix it up. One of them was a huge #startrek fan and I offered it to her as a gift.
Finally it'll have a home. Every thing has a place even if you don't know it yet. #scifi#art#keepgoing
Between the inhabited areas of the station, foot-traffic tunnels were dug straight through the asteroid, with frequent bulkheads and seal-able blast doors in case of decompression.
