Summary: A hurricane is hitting Sunnydale. This is a rarity in and of itself. Everyone evacuates, even essential workers, leaving Giles to research the potential magical origins of the storm. Buffy is stuck in her house with an unexpected houseguest a.k.a. Spike as the storm makes landfall. Written for the Elysian Fields Trapped Challenge, October 2020.
Set in early season five after “Family” and with a semi-alternate timeline, so only Buffy and Giles really know about Glory and about Dawn being the Key.

Sorry for the delay but I must admit I was unable to really focus with the presidential election in the US dragging on. I was also stuck on the latest and probably longest chapter of this little fic. So, in honor of finishing that one today, I'm posting two chapters. Hope you enjoy!
