Past Featured StoryPerfect Clarity by VeroNyxK84 [R] Likes: 448 Comments: 324
Summary:

Challenge response. 
Prompt: How would things go for Buffy and Spike if their conversation / Spike’s speech in "Touched" + Buffy’s profession of love in "Chosen" had happened earlier? Give Spike and Buffy a happily ever after that doesn’t end in a flamey death. 

Set in early S7 and canon through episode 7x05 "Selfless," which is where this story picks up. It then steers into a different direction, turning into a complete rewrite of S7, though some lines and plot elements will be borrowed from random canon S7 episodes and thrown into the mix.

We Are Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On by VeroNyxK84 [R] Likes: 475 Comments: 980
Summary: Written for the 2023 “Short And Spuffy” Drabble Event. 
Each chapter will be a new drabble following a new prompt. Some genres / warnings might be added as the story progresses. 
My interpretation going into the Event without knowing what the prompts will be, is that each drabble is a fragment of a dream. Something that either Buffy or Spike has dreamed at some point—most likely in the timeline between S6 and Post-Series… but again it might change depending on the prompts given and I’ll update the categories accordingly.
Needless to say, the story title is a famous quote from W.Shakespeare’s “The Tempest”

What the Drabble? Vol. 1 by VeroNyxK84 [R] Likes: 591 Comments: 468
Summary:

An anthology of Spuffy Snippets, Vol. 1. 

Complete at 100 chapters; then continuing with Vol. 2. 
Mostly missing scenes from various seasons and post-series, all in drabble and multi-drabble format, often canon-divergent, hence the “Alternate Reality” tag. Since I’m following weekly prompts from various active drabble communities, Categories, Genres, and Warnings might be updated accordingly as the anthology grows. 

Rated [R] to err on the safe side because of some coarse language. Most of the drabbles could very well be [PG-13].

What the Drabble? Vol. 2 by VeroNyxK84 [PG-13] Likes: 504 Comments: 661
Summary:

An anthology of Spuffy Snippets, Vol. 2. 

Complete at 100 chapters. 
Previous anthology: “What the Drabble? Vol. 1” 
Mostly missing scenes from various seasons and post-series, all in drabble and multi-drabble format, sometimes canon-divergent, hence the “Alternate Reality” tag. Since I’m following weekly prompts from various active drabble communities, Categories, Genres, and Warnings might be updated accordingly as the anthology grows.

Summary: Written for the Sunnydale After Dark Short and Spuffy 2023 Event
This will be a collection of drabbles about Buffy and her left-hand man, Spike. They will alternate between Buffy first person POV and Spike first person POV.

Past Featured StoryUnfavorable Odds by bookishy [R] Likes: 128 Comments: 38
Summary: One night. That was all Buffy thought she'd be spending with Spike. He'd tell her how he killed her sister slayers, and in exchange, he'd get cash and one "get out of petty evil free" card. Instead, after a surprise ambush and several tranquilizer darts, they both wake up in an alternate dimension to find that they're now players in a life-or-death game set in Bizarro Sunnydale. To survive, they'll have to be the last ones standing--or figure out who brought them here in the first place and why.
Sounds easy, right? After all, it's not like she hasn't worked with Spike to take down a baddie before. Unfortunately, their fellow competitors are kind of familiar.
Like, really familiar.
You could say they know them just as well as they know themselves.
