User:Paxomen/Buffyverse chronology (3)

This is the third of three parts of the Buffyverse chronology. This is a list of fictional stories from the 'Buffyverse' ordered chronologically. Buffyverse is a term coined by fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel to refer to the shared fictional universe in which they are set. The term has since been used in the titles of published works.


 * Other sections of the chronology can be accessed from the mini-contents tables scattered throughout this article.


 * ''A less graphic-intensive chronology is available all on one page here

Key

 * BS = Buffy season
 * AS = Angel Season
 * Blue, bold = Buffyverse canon article
 * Blue, italic = Buffyverse non-canon article
 * Blue = Link to an article (e.g. a Buffyverse writer)
 * [Alternate Universe?] = Stories with this notation have strayed far from what is known to be Buffyverse canon
 * BCE = Before the Common Era (aka "BC")

BS6/AS3
These Buffyverse tales take place around Buffy Season 6, and Angel Season 3 (from autumn 2001 up until spring 2002).

BS7/AS4
These Buffyverse tales take place around Buffy Season 7, and Angel Season 4 (from autumn 2002 up until spring 2003). The exact timeline for this season is tricky to determine due to the fact that both shows seem to take place over a shorter timeframe than usual, especially when it comes to Angel, and often episodes from both shows seemingly take place at the same time and for several episodes in a row. This is, however, as accurate an estimate as one can make.

AS5
These Buffyverse tales take place around and after Angel Season 5 (from spring 2003 onwards).

BS8/AS6
These events take place after Angel season 5 episode "Not Fade Away." The Buffy comics are canon and follow the continuity of the series. The Angel comics do not have the same seal of approval as Joss Whedon's Buffy but have status in not contradicting canon until such time should Joss choose to retcon them.

Future
These Buffyverse tales take place far into the future, after Buffy Season 8 and the upcoming Angel Season 6.

Flashbacks
Various flashbacks take place during the Buffyverse stories. Some of these are described in more detail at List of Buffyverse historical flashbacks and summarised below:
