1. Chapter 1 It's Another Blue's Clues Day by cawthraven - Likes: 69 Comments: 42 Word Count: 7,052 Hit Count: 2,736 Published: July 01, 2022

If I've ever seen an episode of Blue's Clues all the way through it was a long long time ago and my brother canceled his Paramount Plus subscription so we'll see what I can find on YouTube. But I thought of the title and it had to become a story. It just had to.

Thanks again to my beta the_big_bad for helping me unsnarl some confusing bits!

I realized while writing this chapter that I accidentally referred to the chip a couple times when, in canon, the first use of the word "chip is in "Who Are You?" and I can't actually figure out when they find out it's a computer chip; Walsh tells Buffy about "behavior modification" in "The I in Team" but doesn't reference the chip then. Anyway, they still think it's a spell or something as of Something Blue so I've edited Ch 1 to remove the references.

Enjoy! (Some dialogue from Something Blue.)

Thanks again to the_big_bad for all her hard work on this fic, and especially this monster of a chapter. (Like wow I should have broken the chapters up differently because we had a lot to wrap up but I think I got it all so PHEW.) Also special thanks to commenters talesofstories and pfeifferpack for some ideas in their Chapter 4 comments that I think really helped me shape this/made sure I didn't forget some stuff I should have included. :D
