Our current Featured Works explore post-series life for Spuffy. Love, devotion, and adventure is a given -- as is a bit of rough and tumble. They (and we) wouldn't have it any other way.

This collection also represents creators whose works haven't been featured before, so kind of a two-for-one deal. You're welcome!

It's finally posting day!

I started writing this story more than a year ago. It is complete at 11 chapters and will be updated weekly. I’m also only posting it on Elysian Fields; I love my AO3 readers to death, but this fic might be the most critical I’ve ever been of Angel (which, depending on who you ask, is saying something), and I’m reluctant to share it in non-Spuffy spaces.   A few things: this is a claim fic, but it’s not like any claim fic I’ve ever written. The inspiration comes from a fan theory I stumbled upon once, though I can’t tell you who posited it or when, if it was during my first iteration in fandom or since I came back. All I know is it stuck with me until I decided I needed to explore it. Credit to whoever came up with that, though. I wish I’d done a better job of recording things.   Also, if you’re a fan of claims, this might not be the fic for you. In my past life, I was known for writing claims in every fic, whether or not it made sense for the plot. I am very fond of those stories and claims in general, but it’s not something that has cropped into anything I’ve started since 2017, and that’s because they don’t appeal to me the way they once did. I introduce new lore in this fic about what claims are, how they’re formed, and their effects, and pretty much all of it is unflattering. So again, if claims are your jam, proceed with caution. The intent is not to bash claims at all (again, I am very fond of them, even if that fondness has changed), but explore other ways the fanon lore could be used in Buffyverse.

We just wrapped up our second Drabblemania event, celebrating the unique ability to tell compelling stories with a limited number of words. But we love our longer stories, too. Those that keep us clicking "next chapter" and thinking "Sleep, who needs sleep when there's Spuffy to enjoy?"

Last year, we asked for themes you'd like to see represented in Featured Works. You gave us many wonderful ideas, and our Features Mod thanks you. Considering how influential dreams are in the Buffyverse, from Slayer dreams to "omg duh, Spike!" dreams, the suggestion of DREAMS seemed like the perfect place to kick off 2026. Our current features explore various dreamworlds and how those worlds bridge the gap between mortal enemies.

Beloved ship, beloved trope. Buffy and Spike are at their best when they're working together -- even when their objectives are very, very different. When does fake dating become a real relationship? Our current features answer that question with pure Spuffy delight.

Elysian Fields expanded the archive to include room for art and multi-media Spuffy works at the request of member @isevery0nehereverystoned and, as with most things, she knew exactly what she was talking about. Since then, our amazing creators have added a plethora of mixed media Spuffy works, bringing words to life and giving us what canon often did not. But don't take our word for it. Explore the current features that emphasize visual storytelling and be prepared to be completely wowed by the talent in our corner of fandom.
