Story Notes: Set in Cleveland, Spain, and Gibraltar.
I've taken a few liberties with the post series timeline in this fic and have AtS S5 and Buffy S8 having happened at the same time more or less. There is no Twilight arc here, however, because I'll always happily rub it out of existence whenever I can.
During the course of the fic Buffy mentions her relationship with Satsu numerous times (the reason for the Buffy/other tag), and while the events of that relationship generally follow canon, I have taken liberties to improve things both there and with Buffy's friendship with Willow during that time as I find the depiction of both relationships in the comics to be disgusting and unforgivable. However, there are no flashback scenes and no knowledge of the comics is needed to enjoy this story.
TW: There will be mention of the events of Seeing Red and Dead Things. Buffy's (and Spike's, to some degree) sexual orientation is a theme in this fic and is a frequent part of the story as Buffy grapples with it.
Six Chapters, updates as I am able, originally written for the Fall 2017 Round of Seasonal Spuffy.

A/N: The Chapel under the cathedral is entirely a product of my own imagination, as are the stairs down to it. I claim poetic license ;-)
