Hi, I'm Vero and I'm from Italy.
I'm an old-time -ish BTVS fan in her late 30s who's been recently sucked back into the Buffyverse by hard-hitting nostalgia after rewatching on D+ Star. I'm also (slowly) catching up with the comics after dropping it mid-S8. Currently stuck mid-S11.
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.
The reason I love them so much can be summed up by this beautiful quote, which appears here with permission from the author:
"Their relationship is strong, and stubborn, and deep and passionate, and completely unable to die, not without springing back up later, full of more fire and fight than ever before" ❤
—violettathepiratequeen, from "What Willow Saw"
Writer Profile
I'm adding this bit of information because it's the 1st time for me joining a fanfic community, so nobody here knows who I am.
In the past decade I co-wrote with two friends a fanfic series 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. Alas, the whole thing is in Italian.
So I'm not a first-time fanfic writer, but for the first time I'm attempting to write a long fic in English, which is not my native language, and I'll be publishing this story here on SAD, along with other stories I might find inspiration to write.

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.
Banner art by me.
Needless to say, the story title is a famous quote from W.Shakespeare’s “The Tempest”

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 or plot elements will be borrowed from random canon S7 episodes and thrown into the mix.

As the story goes on, I'll be crafting artwork for some scenes and publish them here, with a reference to the chapter where each scene takes place.
Some artworks will depict NC-17 / adult rated scenes since there are some coming up.
Please check the CHAPTER NOTES under "Table of Contents" for the specific rating of every single artwork.
There's no need to read the story, the artworks work perfectly as standalone pieces of art, and I'll provide a quick context for each.

Sunnydale is hosting a Winter Wonderland fair and Buffy decides to visit it after patrol, hoping to get in the mood for the small gathering that Dawn insisted on having at their place.

Missing scene set between episodes 7x11 and 7x12. What happens after Buffy rescues Spike from the cave where he's been brutally tortured by the Turok-Han? How did they get from that to a fully reinstated Spike helping with the training of Potential Slayers?
Set in an Alternative Reality where ideally all my S7 Missing Scenes exist in the same timeline, which is parallel to the canon timeline: it's my “Blue Phoenix Verse” series.
