Beautiful story art by Thia

Rating: R for language and sexual situations

Disclaimer: I own nothing. All belongs to Joss.

Spoilers: Set after “Gone” in season 6.

Summary: What if the second social worker actually paid a visit to Buffy and Dawn after the incident in “Gone,” and Dawn and Spike convinced Buffy to set up house with Spike?

This story is written especially for Aimee B., who believes in me!
