Sunnydale After Dark
Smallest Series
Summary: What happens when mortal enemies call a truce to save the world? They become mortal allies. Begins with the truce between Buffy and Spike during Season 2, Becoming. Take an unsouled, unchipped vampire named Spike, a mystical guardian dog named Spike, and a Slayer who loves the latter and hates the former, toss together and shake vigorously -- what could possibly go wrong? I don't have too many specific plans for this series other than to keep throwing them back together, making them work together as reluctant allies, generally in short-ish installments.
Summary: Ripples on a Hellmouth made many references to an entire alternate cannon. This series explores all of the background tapestry of events I created to propel the plot in Ripples, but wasn't able to do any more than drop hints about. Each story and short series can be read as a stand-alone in an alternative Buffyverse, or in the context of stories that form part of the background in the Ripplesverse. Please note: because of Sunnydale After Dark's posting rules, not all of the Further Tales will be archived here.

Summary: In Ripples on a Hellmouth, Buffy went back in time seven times to fix her past and stop the world from ending. Each trip back showed her a different ‘present’, until by the end she barely recognised it. But she still ended up with almost everything she’d ever hoped for in a happily ever after.
rnAt least part of that was because of Spike. Just … not the same Spike she found herself married to in 2023. It was a different version of Spike – one who Buffy met in passing in one of her intermediate futures – who made just the one time jump, back seven years in time-travelling-Buffy’s timeline, to save Buffy’s husband.
rnThis is his story.

Summary: A series which veers off-canon after "Something Blue" with a surprise visit from the Hellions, and rewrites itself in rather interesting, often agonizing, but hopefully useful ways thereafter as each new wicked thing comes to town.
rnBegun because I was attacked by a bad dream, launched because of the EF Big Bads Challenge, and continued because wicked plot bunnies continued to assault. Because when something wicked this way comes, it's usually smutty, sometimes slutty, often taboo, occasionally quite painful... and most definitely throws canon right the hell out of the damn window. With Shakespeare. Like ya do.
rnAnd heh, I didn't make the pun, YOU did.
Alright, if you have to ask what pun, maybe I did...

Summary: A Spuffy version of Dick Bruna's Miffy (Nijntje) children's picture books, made for Seasonal Spuffy Fall 2019. Credits: Miffy (Nijntje) was created by Dick Bruna. All art used in the images was based on his work, except for the Buffy "B" logo, which is from here. Since similar (and much more offensive) spoofs of Miffy were ruled NOT to be copyright breaches by the court in Amsterdam, I'm going to assume I'm also not breaching copyright here.

Summary: At 42, Buffy is starting over. She’s got it all planned out, the divorce, car, move, new job… what she didn’t plan on was a 24-year-old tattoo artist. Will Buffy find the answer to life, the universe, and everything? 
Summary: An imagining of the inner monologues of Spike and Buffy post Something Blue. Kinda cannon but with the hint of an earlier realisation from Spike. Both wrangle with what’s true and what’s not, disturbed by the possibility that maybe… perhaps… it wasn’t all spell causing those “feelings”. 


rnI started with just an idea for a Spike POV, it evolved into a Buffy POV, and there may be more future one shots in this series but who knows. 

Both can be read as stand alones!

Summary: This little universe addresses Buffy’s communication issues with Spike. Most specifically how she finds it hard to tell him how she feels. Over time, it gets easier but their relationship is always impacted by their words.
We’ve started with Three Little Words in which Buffy accidentally says ‘I love you’ to Spike one night during sex. That fic takes place in S6 and ends with an alternate ending to Chosen. 
The first one shot, ‘Do You Trust Me Now?‘ is an extension of a scene from Three Little Words that takes place sometime during the end of S6 and beginning of S7.
Also thanks again to Gia for her gorgeous banner work.
