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.

[Latest bio update: February 7, 2025]
Buffy dives into the portal to save Dawn and the world, but instead of taking her life, the portal takes her into a strange land where she immediately faces a life-threatening danger in the form of a mythical creature. Will she find a way back to her own dimension?
Written for SAD’s “Legend Has It 2024” — Complete with 10 chapters
An anthology of Spuffy Snippets, Vol. 3.
Complete at 100 chapters.
Previous anthology: “What the Drabble? Vol. 2”
Mostly missing scenes from various seasons and post-series, all in drabble and multi-drabble format, sometimes canon-divergent, hence the “Alternate Reality” tag. Since I’m following weekly prompts from various active drabble communities, Categories, Genres, and Warnings might be updated accordingly as the anthology grows.
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.
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!
For Buffy and Spike it’s their first Valentine’s Day as a married couple.
Set in my “A Life That’s Good” ’verse, a few weeks after “Xmas in the Air Is the Love We Share” but can be read as a stand-alone.
No specific comic knowledge required. Check the story notes for additional info.
For Buffy and Spike it’s their first Christmas as a soon-to-be-married couple and as designated godparents to their newborn niece, Joyce Charlotte Harris.
Domestic fluff galore set during the infamous “quiet year” that followed S11 (comics); sequel to “The Alphabet of Spuffy” and “Autumn in San Francisco” but can be read as a stand-alone.
No specific comic knowledge required. Check the story notes for additional info.
An anthology of Spuffy Snippets, Vol. 2.

Buffy is not feeling much of the holiday cheer and she’s certainly not in the mood to deal with Spike… but nothing that a little Christmas magic can’t fix.
Written for “SADvent Calendar 2024”
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.

“I imagine it being an imprint of the wings she got in heaven and Dawn seeing it while she cleans Buffy right after the resurrection and instantly knowing where she was and then yelling at the Scoobies about what they’ve done.”
Written for the 2024 “Short & Spuffy” Drabble Event.
Crack Fic!
Spike is a terrible house guest, and some of the Scoobies are learning that truth the hard way. What happens when Joyce eventually agrees to take him in and let him crash in the basement at Revello Drive?
I wish I knew the answer to that, but the prompts will decide everything.
Ready, Set, Drabble!
An anthology of Spuffy Snippets, Vol. 1.
Complete at 100 chapters; then continuing with Vol. 2.
Mostly missing scenes from various seasons and post-series, all in drabble and multi-drabble format, often canon-divergent, hence the “Alternate Reality” tag. Since I’m following weekly prompts from various active drabble communities, Categories, Genres, and Warnings might be updated accordingly as the anthology grows.
Rated [R] to err on the safe side because of some coarse language. Most of the drabbles could very well be [PG-13].
NSFW collection of unrelated artworks portraying Buffy and Spike either together or each on their own.
WARNING: explicit content
I’ll be adding to the collection whenever inspiration strikes + when work & real life cooperate providing the time needed to bring those artworks to life.
Medium editing time per piece (varies for each artwork): 3 to 6 hrs
Photomanipulation, blending & digital editing from reference pictures.
Where the Summers go on a family holiday trip in Vermont!
