Summary
Tired of your current insurmountable problems, and the apparently endless cycle of death and war you're trapped in? Try time travel! 100% guaranteed to replace all of your old, boring problems with newer, more exciting problems!
Or: 2B accidentally travels back in time to the start of the story - and just as accidentally gets her consciousness stuck in a sword now wielded by A2. What seemed at first to her like a few minor changes rapidly spirals into a new timeline wholly out of her control, especially as her younger self responds to the changes she's making, and her enemies take note of how the world isn't developing as it should...
But, hey, at least they're not going to get the same problems as last time...?
2B's going to need a lot of help to dig everyone out of this. Fortunately, A2's (somewhat beligerently) taken up her cause, and she has more allies than she thinks.
Or: A fix-it retelling of canon (based centrally in the anime), though the road is far from smooth, and things get worse before they get better. Also there's robot philosophy, exploration + expansion of canon esp the Executioner program, and slow burn disaster queers.
