I write Buffyverse fic about a variety of characters, though Spike and Buffy are big favorites. I also have a special interest in what Spike was up to pre-series and I have a big love for rare characters. Not all my work fits the Elysian Fields criteria, so feel free to check me out on LiveJournal or AO3. Please let me know if you enjoy something I've written! With details!
