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.[1]

BS7/AS4
[edit]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.

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.
