Latest Story: Perfect Clarity, Chapter 18 by VeroNyxK84 [R]

Read it here: https://www.sunnydaleafterdark.com/viewstory.php?sid=643&chapter=18

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 or plot elements will be borrowed from random canon S7 episodes and thrown into the mix.  🎨 Check the Artwork Companion Story with visual edits for scenes from the fanfic, starting from Chapter 10—["Artwork: Perfect Clarity"] 

[Update January 29th—Expected delay between chapters up to 4 weeks. Work be crazy]  — Written for the "Selflessly Yours" challenge by angelic_amy  Banner by me

Set in S4, partial rewrite of episode 4x12 “A New Man.” There is no such thing as a Buffy birthday bash without some chaos and mayhem. As per tradition, her nineteenth birthday brings along some regularly scheduled drama, courtesy of Giles’s old friend and nemesis, Ethan Rayne. The sorcerer has a special birthday gift for Buffy, one that she’s not happy to receive. More details in the Story Notes.

Set in S6, at the beginning of episode 6x03 “After Life.” Inspired by JSBirsa’s stunning drawing of Buffy with a wing tattoo, which you can find HERE. Description (by JSBirsa on Discord) used as prompt: “I imagine it being an imprint of the wings she got in heaven and Dawn seeing it while she cleans Buffy right after the resurrection and instantly knowing where she was and then yelling at the Scoobies about what they’ve done.”

[veronyxk84]

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.

Written for the 2024 “Short & Spuffy” Drabble Event.  Crack Fic! 

Spike is a terrible house guest, and some of the Scoobies are learning that truth the hard way. What happens when Joyce eventually agrees to take him in and let him crash in the basement at Revello Drive?  I wish I knew the answer to that, but the prompts will decide everything. 

Ready, Set, Drabble!
