Note on my fic. If a story is written within the canon we saw on screen There might be pairings that we saw on the show. Meaning in S2 there might be bits of Buffy/Angel and Spike/Dru, S4 might have Buffy/Riley or Spike/Harmony. It is extremely rare for me to go into ANY detail with non-Spuffy pairings but unless the story is totally AU, if it was on your screen it might be referred to in the story. I haven't put warnings on those fics of "other" and when/if those canon pairings are implied in the story they do not last. If you just cannot handle even a hint of canon pairings that were part of the history of the show you might want to only read my stories set after Riley leaves in S5 or those that are AU from the beginning. As of 12/2020 I will add warnings if any other pairing is even remotely referred to but my previous stories might not have that warning.
I'm one of the site mods here at Elysian Fields.
If you have any questions or queries, Or a suggestion for a featured story, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Born 1954 but like old cheese and wine, I like to think I've improved with age. Born in Indianapolis, Indiana but live in Albuquerque, NM since 1979.
Love the Buffyverse and adore Spike. Luckily my husband is also a fan (even of fic) and fully supportive of my vices. He is my ears for my stories as the first to "hear" my stories and comment.
Other than that I'm rather dull. Have managed a mainframe computer room for years and programmed those old suckers (primarily COBOL language). Taught middle school for 3 years. Co-own a commercial cleaning company since 1993 (after 22 years in mainframe computing),
Love to write and love to read. Teaching myself graphics and love to make banners and icons too. Have traveled a lot and have NEVER stopped learning (History is a favorite subject but take online and in-person courses as an ongoing process). No living children but lots of dogs...hence the "pack" in my screen name. (Kathleen Pfeiffer the actual name)
All stories prior to August 2016 were Beta'd. My Beta and dearest sister of the heart was Mary Tanner (Scarlett2U). Her talent, knowledge, generous heart, quick mind, and love of Spuffy were invaluable to me. Her encouragement and skills are something I would wish for any writer. She is also a skillful comma surgeon! Sadly she has run out of time to Beta for others and all work posted by me after that date are unBeta'd.
Am working on completing my WIPs. Barring death I will never leave a story incomplete forever!

No comic events involved in this story. Prompted by this story request during the Spikeslovebite/Kain auction: “I’d like to see another time-travel Spuffy story! However, unlike most time-travel stories where it’s Spike or Buffy themselves that go back to fix things, I’d like to see Dawn be the one. In a post-Chosen, post-NFA future that is not comic compliant and in which both Spike and Buffy are dead (the circumstances are entirely up to you, but they were not together and not happy), Dawn explores her latent powers and discovers that she can not only travel between dimensions but also in time. She decides to go back (how far back is up to you) and sort out Spike & Buffy so they won’t die miserable and apart. Maybe she also helps her younger self come to terms with being The Key and what that means, if applicable? I don’t mind who writes it, but would prefer for it to be long-ish so the Spuffy can develop slowly rather than fall-into-each-others-arms-at-the-drop-of-a-hat scenario. The only thing I’m adamant about really is that the chip either never gets put in or it comes out asap, allowing for Spike to *choose* to change rather than be forced to.”
