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
An AU of Buffy starting in season 5-- We pick up after Buffy's first encounter with Glory, when she's just learned about the truth about her sister Dawn. This is a slow, slow burn Spuffy fic with scenes centered around those two. The first canon divergence is simple -- Spike encounters Buffy on her way home after getting pummeled by Glory and having a bomb dropped on her by the dying monk. He is struggling with accepting his feelings for her, but ends up trying a slightly less unhinged approach to building trust and winning her affections.
The road is long and winding, and honestly this started as a single scene where Spike cheers Joyce and Dawn up by dancing with them and then it just... got away from me. We stay close to canon with a lot of little changes, and eventually find ourselves in a place with a lot more tenderness.
