"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman

I just read the trope descriptions for this trope and Peggy Sue back-to-back and found this:

• So we have your Peggy Sue Fic in which a character is suddenly sent back to his childhood with future knowledge and/or powers to Set Right What Once Went Wrong.

Does this feel a little too specific to anyone? What happens when the person goes back to Set Right What Once Went Wrong but doesn't go all the way back to when they were a child? Any feedback on this?

Edited by MsAmiClassified moved to Oceanstuck because this handle was starting to bother me my tumblr

• The Dark Tower, by Stephen King. At the end, when the protagonist FINALLY attains his lifelong goal, it results in him being popped right back to where we first met him. This is implied to have already happened several times, because he still hasn't quite gotten it right yet...

to give someone a chance to rewrite it without spoilering the title of the work
