Ripples on a Hellmouth: Further Tales by stuffandnonsense

Summary:

Ripples on a Hellmouth made many references to an entire alternate cannon. This series explores all of the background tapestry of events I created to propel the plot in Ripples, but wasn't able to do any more than drop hints about. Each story and short series can be read as a stand-alone in an alternative Buffyverse, or in the context of stories that form part of the background in the Ripplesverse.

Summary:

Olivia Williams rocks up in Sunnydale for what she expects to be a surprise booty call in the autumn of 2000.

Ripper Giles' girlfriend answering the door comes as a bit of a shock.

This was my Buffyverse Bingo 2020 submission for the prompt 'S4 E1 The Freshman'. Like all of the Further Tales, this can be read as a stand-alone 'what-if'.

Summary:

Buffy Summers jumped from the tower to close Glory's portal in 2001, and Spike only survived her death because Dawn needed him. But Buffy's sacrifice didn't work. In 2023, the world is about to end and Faith starts travelling back in time, trying to fix it. Facing down her own death, Dawn has a plan to send Spike somewhere he won't have to lose everything: a dimension where Buffy is still alive.

The only problem is, so is her husband: Spike.

Like all of the Further Tales, this can be read as a stand-alone what-if. But you may appreciate it more after reading Ripples on a Hellmouth.
