This community is for Peggy Sue fics: stories wherein any character/s goes back in time (one time or more) to relive his/her life with the knowledge he/she gained from going through the series the first time around. Here, a character goes back in time to fix their past mistakes and/or prevent other characters' deaths. This will later lead to (major or minor) changes to canon. So yeah, do-over fics. Contains spoilers and may have character-bashing. Can be a one-shot or a multi-chapter.
