1. The Adventure Begins by TheSunnySlayer - Likes: 11 Comments: 14 Word Count: 1,990 Hit Count: 848 Published: 12/07/22

This is the first Spuffy fic I've written/posted in years! The fic is inspired by my current hyperfixation on Dungeons and Dragons as well as Critical Role. But you don't have to know anything about either of those things for this fic.

I wanna keep you guys guessing about what's gonna happen, but if you comment, I'll drop hints!

The fic has been betaed by Lipsofspike from Instagram and my friend Aino from Discord. Thanks so much for reading!

2. Shenanigans in Santa's Village by TheSunnySlayer - Likes: 5 Comments: 4 Word Count: 1,282 Hit Count: 837 Published: 12/13/22

This chapter will be more plot-heavy. I promise there will be Spuffy fluff in the next chapter.

Some D&D notes: Dawn is a halfling, which is the D&D version of a Hobbit (think Lord of the Rings) and she chose Way of Shadow, which is basically the Ninja Monk. Spike is a Tiefling, which are usually portrayed as being devilish-looking, horns and tails and all. 

Betaed by Aino and LipsofSpike. Any remaining errors are my own.

Spuffy fluff and some D&D combat action in this chapter!

Bonus points to the mythology nerds who might have an inkling of what might be happening.

Just as a note: Buffy and the others are playing at Level 4.

There will be more than a few surprises in this chapter!
