Hi, I'm Vero and I'm from Italy.

I'm an old-time -ish BTVS fan in her 40s who's been sucked back into the Buffyverse by hard-hitting nostalgia after rewatching on D+ Star in 2022. I've also caught up with the comics after dropping it mid-S8 years ago. I've finished S11 and not planning on reading S12.

Huge Spuffy shipper. Those two stole my heart, ripped it to shreds and never really gave it back to me. I've shipped other couples from other shows, but Spuffy is like my mother ship: it all started with them and I always go back to them.

WRITER PROFILE

When I registered this account in June 2022 it was the 1st time for me joining a fanfic community, so not many people knows who I am.

In the past decade I co-wrote with two friends a fanfic series (in Italian) set in a Post-Chosen AU which follows the adventures of a group of four Slayers who were awakened during the events of “Chosen,” all original characters. 

So I'm not a first-time fanfic writer, but English is not my native language although I'm quite fluid. My early works are all unbeta'd but I've been working with marinaeulalia since April 2023 who is an incredible supporter and wonderful beta. My style and confidence have improved a lot since, and I am immensely grateful for everything I've been learning with her help.

Written for the 2025 “Short & Spuffy” Drabble Event.

When Dawn writes in her journal, she never misses the chance to add her thoughts about Buffy’s weird thing with Spike. Surely she can’t be the only one who saw their relationship shift and change since he got a chip implanted in his brain and became a permanent Sunnydale resident.
Or, Buffy and Spike seen through Dawn’s eyes.

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!

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.

Rated [R] to err on the safe side because of some coarse language. Most of the drabbles could very well be [PG-13].
