Summary: What if the monks had given Dawn to Spike? It’s two years after the ordeal with Acathla and Buffy never left LA to come back to Sunnydale. She’s lived for years waiting tables as Anne, numb but surviving, until an advertisement for a nanny job forces her to confront her past in the form of one annoying vampire and a TV-obsessed little girl.
Created for the Elysian Fields Called Challenge. Banner made by Dusty.

Many thanks to my wonderful beta, MaggieLaFey!
Special shout out to Dusty for creating this stunning banner! Somehow she got inside my head (maybe there was witchcraft involved?) and created exactly my vision, it’s incredible.
And, of course, I have to say thank you to the site admins, you’ve created such a fun and unique challenge in addition to just keeping the lights on here every day. Y'all rock.

Real life has been a doozy lately. Trying to write while in my own version of Buffy's S6 depression spiral hasn't worked out so well, but I am proud that I scraped this chapter together. Thank you for everyone still reading
Unbeta'd because I'm impatient. All mess and mistakes are mine.
