Sunnydale After Dark
Summary: An episode rewrite of Tabula Rasa, after learning that she had pulled Buffy from Heaven back to the Hellmouth, Willow decides to cast a spell to help her friend find happiness. When she finds out what... or who will make Buffy happy, how will she handle it? Will Buffy finally get what who she wants?

This fic is a response to this challenge by EllieRose101: 
Instead of Willow doing her memory spell from Tabula Rasa, she instead uses magic to find out what (or who) would make Buffy happy. 
...
Spike. It's Spike. 
But what does Willow do with the information? Try and play matchmaker? Attempt to talk to her friend? Or Spike? 
Things might get worse before they get better, but this fic must have a HEA.

Story Notes: This story is set during/around Tabula Rasa. I played around with the timeline a bit - in this, Giles tells Buffy he is leaving before she sees Spike and Willow is working on the spell at the same time. I originally intended this to be written as a collection of drabbles, but the chapters ended up being too long to truly be called drabbles. So instead, I just have extremely short chapters.
