Sunnydale After Dark
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!

Story Notes:

Set in S4, some time after “Something Blue” and part of the “Domestic Unbliss” series, which is also home to last year’s Short & Spuffy drabble fic in this crack/comedy verse: “Tag, You’re It!” 

This is a sequel to last year’s Short & Spuffy, and everything you need to know is in the summary. 

However, if you wish to quickly read (or re-read?) Tag, You’re It! it’s just 3,100-word long. Your call!

Not beta’d—All mistakes are mine.
