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”

Story Notes:
This event is extra challenging for me because of my pathological wordiness, but I’m super excited to try and challenge myself!
I’m still learning the ropes of fic writing and I think that trying to squeeze a story into exactly 100 words is a great exercise and surely a good way to hone my writing skills AND my English fluency.
