Summary
Set canonically in season 6 between Doublemeat Palace and As you were.
There’s a new toy craze sweeping Sunnydale: Fwiffles. Fuzzy little mystery-box creatures with giant eyes, weird accessories, and “ultra rare” variants people are apparently willing to emotionally unravel over.
Buffy thinks they’re ridiculous.
Unfortunately, the Doublemeat Palace has launched a “Got Fwiffle?” promotion, the mascot called in sick, and Todd is offering double pay.
“You want me to stand outside dressed as a giant nightmare hamster?”
“A Fwiffle.”
“It has six teeth.”
“Double pay.”
“…where’s the head?”At first it just seems like another stupid trend. Willow looking for the perfect one for Tara, Anya starts treating limited editions like stock investments. And then Buffy finds Spike in his crypt surrounded by Fwiffles arranged in tiny handmade coffins.
“Please tell me those aren’t satin interiors.”
“They’re collectible.”
“You made one a pillow.”
“He looked uncomfortable.”But the longer the craze goes on, the stranger it starts to feel… because on a Hellmouth, nothing is ever just a craze.
