Summary: Starts off in Season 4 Episode 3 "Harsh Light of Day". Buffy is trying to balance college life with her Slayer responsibilities while still maintaining some sort of love life with an average Joe, but the world as she sees it ceases to exist once she's taken by the Initiative. Her name changes in a blur: Buffy, Hostile 17, and Eve, until she finally becomes his Dark Queen. She's a different Buffy; a different kind of Chosen One.

Currently on hiatus. (I'm sorry to say that I have put ADKoC on temporary hiatus. I haven't been in the right mind set to write the story with the tone I wish for it to portray. Please be patient. I do plan on returning to this one day soon and finishing it, but not until I can give it the attention it deserves. Thank you.)

Inspired by your beauty. Effulgent.
My name is Ellie. Right now my life is shifting in a completely different direction than I ever expected, so I'm trying to make the best of a bad situation. Writing is normally my escape, but I have a pretty full plate lately so it's gone to the wayside. I hope to rectify that soon, starting here by finishing some WIPs.
I'm a multi-fandom whore with multi-fandom needs, but Buffy will always hold a special place in my heart. I've been writing fanfiction since I was a young teenager, but have just started writing Buffy fanfiction since I joined here and I read and review more than I write. I also love to create banners, so if you're in need of one be sure to check out my Banner Artist Profile and shoot me a PM.
On the opposite side of the fanfiction spectrum, I'm in the process of writing an original fiction, Casually Complicated. It's still in the works, but if you're interested in following the progress, getting sneak peaks and freebies, and keeping up with upcoming release dates then head on over to my site, www.EllieAviles.com, or my Instagram.
I have also started up a custom design, decal, and iron-on business, Effulgent Creations. Oh, yeah. I definitely kept my Spuffy love in it. Check it out or shoot me a message on Etsy for a custom design. If you or someone you know is expecting or already has a baby, check out this two-colored Buffy "Potential Slayer On Board" Baby on Board decal. It's the perfect gift for a Buffy fan with precious cargo on board!
As a special promotion just for my EF family! Use coupon code ELYSIANFIELDS for 10% off your entire order, even non-Buffy items.
That's all, I guess. Enjoy!

Summary: How would things have changed if, instead of going on Giles' little side mission, Spike had insisted on staying until he got the all-clear from Buffy and, by coincidence, was there when her friends turned against her? This is my take on Empty Places (Season 7, Episode 19) and how different things could have turned out if Buffy had had someone in her corner.

Summary: Part three of the Void Verse.
A collection of ongoing outtakes from the Void Verse. The point of views may vary from Buffy's and it will contain everything from missing scenes to lusty goodness with no plot. Each chapter is a standalone one shot, but if you haven't read the series then these outtakes will probably make no sense. The posting schedule will have no rhyme or reason like the rest of the series because chapters will just be added as I'm inspired. If you have a request, feel free to let me know in a review and I'll see what I can do. Thank you.
