Summary
When Dawn’s future at Revello Drive is in jeopardy, Buffy goes looking for a way to convince social services that all is well in the state of Summers. Cue a new truce with Spike in which our heroes learn how to love, live, and parent together while staying one step ahead of Dawnie, the Scoobies, and the government. It’s all fun and games until someone gets a ring involved.
Or, the Season Six Fake-Dating Fix-It that nobody asked for…

Summary
Spike tries to take Buffy out in their ‘is this a date’ episode but instead of lashing out, she just goes to the nearest crate and has a breakdown cuz this is the WORST year of her life. Spike vows to make it better for her as best he can and for once, he kinda delivers. Even when the rest of Sunnydale goes off and makes things way, way worse for them all.
Takes place during the second half of season 5, with dates to make following along w the actual cannon a little easier. Buffy breaks down because if anyone were in her shoes w the year she’s had, they probably would too. Slayer or not, that shit SUCKED. Joyce is a badass and doesn’t die, a giant cockroach demon tries to abduct the Slayer, Spike plays nurse (not in a sexy way), and there’s a road trip from a hell beast. What more could a story have? A happy ending? Yeah, sure, but who wants to go demon bowling? I know Buffy does.
TW: gratuitous violence, vomiting, blood, gore, trash, bugs, so many giant bugs I’m so sorry, Joyce gets her groove back, BDSM, dominatrix Buffy, slow burn, Spike in therapy (sorta), I live for Joyce with a weapon, guns, abduction attempt, robot Buffy & Dawn (not sexual), sexual assault via roach demon, paperwork & a road trip

Summary
What happens when Buffy turns to Spike to help her understand her nature as a Slayer? What happens when Riley experiences the natural consequences of his visits to the suckhouse?
Written for the 2022 April Challenge month as a response to SlayrGrl's Vampire Riley challenge. It's essentially a season 5 rewrite, AU elements start pretty much immediately but really ramp up mid-season.
Banner by the amazing Irandamay and betaed by the equally amazing the_big_bad (so much thanks to you both!)
