Bonanza Evolution

by haruka

Every chapter of this crossover fic was written by both Haruka and Katja. Katja wrote all parts from the point of view of the Bonanza characters and Haruka wrote all parts from the point of view of the X-Men: Evolution characters. These parts were posted in a private mailing list in 2002, in more-or-less RPG format, where both writers had their characters respond to each other's dialogue and actions. These joint responses were then compiled into individual chapters. This compilation was originally intended for a spanking fanfiction group, thus there are multiple scenes of corporal punishment of various types.Please forgive any formatting errors as I've had to re-fit every line from a very old word processor for modern posting.

If only he could remember how he ended up there!Please observe that the first and second chapters had a couple of minor updates, to better place Dean into a specific season.
