Disambiguation move from Fanfic.The Butterfly Effect. The original page's contents were made by Nintendoman 01 and Tropers/Mattman_the_Storyteller.

'''''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5594934/1/The-Butterfly-Effect The Butterfly Effect]]''''' is an ''Manga/ElfenLied'' FanFic written by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/2168535/LunarSkies2383 LunarSkies2383]].
Picking up at the very end of the manga, Lucy/Kaede, on the brink of death, promises that if she were to be reborn, she would be a good person the second time around. Her wish is granted by a {{God}}-like entity, who hits the ResetButton on her life, with the intent to change certain key events of her life to revolutionize her existence as a whole.
From there, the story of ''Elfen Lied'' restarts, with several differences; Kaede is found and taken back by her mother, Nyu manifests as her twin sister rather than a SplitPersonality, Lucy also manifests as a separate entity, and things go on from there.
The author has written two other stories set in the same universe: ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6898370/1/Another-Side-Another-Story Another Side, Another Story]]'', meant to serve as a "patch" to ''The Butterfly Effect'', and ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10897238/1/Envoy-of-the-Beginning Envoy of the Beginning]]'', a sequel set eighty years into the future.
''Currently under construction.''
!!''The Butterfly Effect'' contains examples of the following tropes:
------
* AbledInTheAdaptation: Downplayed. In the original manga/anime, Nana's arms and legs were all severed by Lucy, forcing her to use ArtificialLimbs. Here, after the limb severing, Kaede and Nyu come across Nana and try to heal her, but only manage to reattach one arm and one leg before Kakuzawa's men show up and force them to flee.
* AdaptationalJerkass: In the original manga/anime, the orphanage girl who sold Kaede's puppy out to the bullies was [[AmbiguousInnocence Ambiguously Innocent and]] [[AmbiguouslyEvil evil]], as it's not clear if she feigned remorse for it while secretly [[CrocodileTears hiding a smile behind her tears]] or [[UnreliableNarrator that was just Kaede's imagination]]. Here, the girl, named Rika, is unambiguously a cruel child, openly telling Kaede [[KickTheDog she finds her disgusting]], following up with a minor DidYouActuallyBelieve over how Kaede actually believed she would want to be friends with her.
* AdaptationalKarma: Unlike in the original manga and anime, Mayu's stepfather does ''not'' get away with his [[RapeisASpecialKindOfEvil sexual abuse]] of her. Kaede and Kohta are so horrified and disgusted that, after punching him out and knocking some teeth loose, Kohta steps outside and does nothing as Kaede beats him to a pulp before using her vectors to destroy the hypothalamus in his brain, utterly ruining his health and causing multiple organ failure that he will have to shell out small fortunes in medical bills to take care of.
-->'''Kaede''': Hope he enjoys the rest of his miserable life.
* AssholeVictim: Several of Lucy's victims were downright horrible people, such as the Orphanage Kids[[note]]Which is lampshaded by Kaede, since even though she's not the one who killed them, she doesn't feel sympathy for them after having been mercilessly bullied for so long and almost losing her puppy at their hands. She even notes the irony when a police officer calls them innocent children.[[/note]], Professor Kakuzawa[[note]]Who is killed by Lucy when he tries to rape Nyu[[/note]], and the Unknown Man[[note]]Who is finished off by Lucy when Kaede leaves him in pain, but alive[[/note]].
* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: Since Kaede is going out of her way to avoid killing, Lucy is the one who kills the people trying to harm the former and her loved ones.
* BigDamnHeroes: The orphanage director shows up to stop Tomoo and crew from killing Kaede's puppy.
* CryIntoChest: In chapter 3, Kaede cries into the chest of her mother Mikomi, pouring out all of her accumulated sorrow.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Kaede's puppy is saved from death at the hands of her bullies at the orphanage, and spends a few happy years with Kaede, Nyu, and their mother before being killed by [[spoiler:their abusive father]].
* ForWantOfANail: Things take a change for Kaede when her mother shows up and takes her from the orphanage.
* HeroicBSOD: In chapter 15, after the murder of Mikomi, Kaede succumbs to depression, not bothering to attend school and taking her sorrow and anger out on any gangs and delinquents she can find. Helping Aiko reunite with her mother the next chapter helps her snap out of it.
* InSpiteOfANail:
** Despite Kaede no longer being a killer in the new timeline, Lucy still gets to commit several of the murders she did in the previous timeline now that she's her own individual.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: [[spoiler:It's revealed that Kaede, Nyu, and Lucy were all given separate bodies in the new timeline. When Lucy and Nyu die, their personalities would eventually become one with Kaede after she accepts them.]]
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Aiko Takada survives and is taken in by her mother, unlike canon.
