Disclaimers: The usual. All belongs to Joss and Mutant Enemy, and naught to me.
Rating: R-ish to NC-17
Pairing: B/S
Distribution: Ask and you shall receive, I'd just like to know where it ends up.
Synopsis: When Spike and Buffy decide to tie the knot, complications arise in the form of a thirty-year-old murder.
Author’s notes: This story takes place in the same universe as "Raising In the Sun," "Necessary Evils," and "A Parliament of Monsters." It's set in the summer after POM, and contains spoilers for POM. Thanks to Sandy, Vero_72, Eldithia, Fangfaceandrea, amd Shiveta for help with the Spanish; any errors in that department are entorely my own!
