Story Notes: This little fic was born from a conversation in the Elysian Fields Discord and is thanks to Wojtekstan for the idea, though they had it set in London originally. I merged it with an idea I’d had for a post-series depressed Buffy in Boston story. I’ve lived in Boston almost my entire adult life and wanted to pay homage and have a story that actually felt Boston-y unlike so many shows and movies set here. Fellow local scratchmeout checked over for Boston-factchecking, so thank you to her! And thank you to my betas, alittlemoretime, HappyWhenItRains, and Holly.
Also the warning is for Spike’s death in the Hellmouth. Buffy is grieving, unaware of any developments in LA.

I've been told that I'm evil for this.
