Summary
Post-Chosen, Buffy's struggling to adjust to the new status quo of her life: no longer the only Slayer, but still The Slayer. The one in charge. Propelled to investigate a strange blip on the magical radar, Buffy finds herself in Duluth, Minnesota and much more than she bargained for.
Meanwhile, Spike has come back from the brink himself, only to be entirely at loose ends. No purpose, no guiding light, he gets himself out of LA and into a mess of, well, not hot water, that's for certain.
AKA, Buffy and Spike reunite in my home state and they hate it.
Written for EF's 2026 Challenge Month, answering werehorse's challenge of Spuffy vs. YOUR favorite local cryptid, which I've had my eye on for months. This has been a lovely excuse to get Spuffy to Minnesota.

Summary
“I want to take you out on a date, Slayer. A real one. To a restaurant where they’ve got those little candles on the table, and the food’s right good but costs too much for the paltry amount they serve ya, and I want to hear you laugh over cocktails and let you pretend there’s more to your life than just Slayin’ for a little while—no, let me finish—and when it’s good and over and I’ve made a big show of payin’ the bill, I’d like to walk you home and kiss you goodnight on your doorstep like a proper gentleman.”
Years after the fall of Sunnydale, Spike and Buffy cross paths on the streets of Manhattan, and the Vamp takes the Slayer on a real, honest-to-goodness, actual date.
Meditations on yearning, regret, and second chances.

Summary
Spike is still beneath her, so hard he's vibrating, and a second ago she was living in this amazing, perfect, fresh piece of Dubble Bubble bubblegum world. A second ago, she loved him.
Or: The thing about Willow's will-be-done spell is that, yeah, obviously it sucks that it happened with Spike. But now that all those totally fake lovey-dovey feelings are gone, Buffy is starting to worry that she'll never get them back—with anyone. Too bad the only person who might understand is her mortal enemy.
