I'd like to note, that I was asked to crawl out from under my Lurking Rock to post this after I posted it on the The_Immortal_Slayer_Fanfiction_Archive list. If anyone chooses to take this challenge and finds themselves getting stuck, I would be honored to act as a B-storming sounding board. I love reading and reading Buffy fanfiction gives me BIG happies!!!



Buffy AU Challenge: Old One Reborn


Summary: Buffy has been through Hell and back for her friends and her
family; only to be repaid by betrayal. Fate's version of Payback is
REALLY going to be a bitch.....


I've been having Idea bounce in my head for awhile, so bear with me. I
would like a What If focusing on Buffy being kicked out of her own home
by her own "Friends" and family.


Must Haves:

1. Buffy can be paired with anyone who is supernatural in nature that
has known Buffy for some time. Would appreciate Buffy/Willow or
Buffy/Faith, but I'm not demanding it.

2. Buffy aquires the Scythe and kills Caleb, but she doesn't crawling
back to her betrayers. Instead She leaves the Scythe where the others
can find it first before leaving. Bonus points if Buffy uses the Scythe
to pin Caleb's dead body somewhere interesting within sight of the
house. Please give reactions to this from the Scoobies.

3. Buffy either working as an assassin specializing in killing demons,
or looking for clues to a series of Slayer Dreams she has regarding the
nature of Slayers. Either one of these will give Buffy reason to
understand that there is no real black/white in this world.

4. There must be a time of 1-5 years where Buffy has vanished before
the Scoobies encounter her directly. There is either a Prophecy or Slayer
Dreams (or both!) dealing with an Old One and Buffy, and whoever else
she'll be paired with.

5. Buffy being hunted by the Scoobies, L.A. branch of W&H, and the Big
Bad. Major Bonus points for Buffy resisting to the point of open
warfare. Whether she's willing to do anything permanent to her one-time
friends is up to you.

6. Buffy must willingly undergo some form of demonic Ascention to
defeat the Big Bad; if you not want to have Buffy gain the full power of an
Old One, you can have the Power divided among Buffy's love(or lovers).

7. Happy ending for Buffy and her lover(s). Bonus points for an ending
scene set in the far future showing how far they have come.

P.S. If you feel constrained by any of this, feel free to tailor it
to your needs. I post challenges to encourage Fanfiction, not stifle it.
