The Revisionist History Series started after "B*coming", borne of my desire to fix the mess Joss Whedon left behind. I had no real intention of starting an ongoing series of revised episodes, but then That Evil Man (TM) laid Season Three on us, and he left me no choice but to clean up after him.I hope you enjoy them, but please keep in mind three things.
- They are not overly beta-read. I do *try* to get these out as quickly as possible, so they may be a bit raw.
- They are particularly violent. I always go with my first impulse after seeing the ep when I write these, so the more aggravated I am, the bloodier things get.
- Each story is its own "mini-universe". The stories are not connected in any way; they each exist separately.
