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”

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.

My aim is to insert Dawn into seasons 1-4 while remaining canon-compliant, as the monks had done to everyone's memories, concentrating mostly on Spike and Buffy centric scenes. There may also be some 'off screen' scenes with Buffy and/or Spike during seasons 5, 6, and 7 (depending on the prompt and what idea comes to me).  Wish me luck!

Gone With the Wheel by VeroNyxK84 [PG-13] Likes: 424 Comments: 608
Summary:

Written for the 2025 “Short & Spuffy” Drabble Event.
Crack Fic (potentially)! 

Spike has proven to be a terrible house guest for Giles and Xander, who played a game of hot potato with the bleach-haired vampire until they eventually dropped him in Joyce’s care. So he becomes a permanent guest at Revello Drive—much to Buffy’s disappointment.
What could possibly go wrong now that he and Buffy have reached a “secret snogging, public hating” kind of deal? 

I wish I knew the answer, but the Prompt Wheel on SAD Discord will decide where this goes (hence the title). 

Ready, Set, Drabble!

Summary:

Written for the 2025 “Short & Spuffy” Drabble Event.

When Dawn writes in her journal, she never misses the chance to add her thoughts about Buffy’s weird thing with Spike. Surely she can’t be the only one who saw their relationship shift and change since he got a chip implanted in his brain and became a permanent Sunnydale resident.
Or, Buffy and Spike seen through Dawn’s eyes.
