Story Notes: This story is slightly post-series with very little (if any) alignment with post-series comics.The lovely banner is by scratchmeout. The story, though, is unbetaed because I'm disorganized and [insert other excuses here] so all errors are mine. I expect everything to remain PG, but it’s Spuffy at its core so yeah, this rating may change.

The most peculiar mix ups happen at the most unexpected times in Scooby-world.
PS: Apologies for this chapter’s occasional bowdlerization of psychology concepts and theories along with any other goofs. In the hallowed tradition of fanfiction, it’s all made up.

Sometimes things in Scooby-world take a while to get figured out.

As so many ads reminded "over the pond" from Buffy in the '90s, have you had your Weetabix?

The plot thickens. Or at least, it may be heading underground.

The plot comes together, Slayer power is expressed, and problems are dealt with as needed.
Note: Due to the short timeframe allotted for writing this challenge, the story’s geography is likely wonky. Notably, the location of standing stones in Great Britain is probably different from what’s implied here and I’m sure that the flight down to the Cotswolds takes more time in reality.
