Summary
“So, the breakup must have been pretty bad then, I’m guessing,” Buffy says, in that tone that she uses when she wants to sound casual about something she’s been obsessing over.
Faith raises her eyebrows, glancing over at Buffy. “As far as I know, you’re still together. As much as you ever were, anyway — I never really got all the details.”
Of all the things that have changed, this has stayed exactly as Faith remembers. Buffy doesn’t talk to Faith about her life. Especially not her boyfriends. Not any more than she absolutely has to.
“No, not me and Spike,” Buffy says, pushing off the railing and crossing the gap between them to sit down next to Faith. She’s so close Faith can smell that stupid, fruity body-spray she loves. Cherry blossoms. She’s so close Faith can’t help but feel a pang of regret about it, the way the ashtray smell of her bad habit is going to smother that nice, clean scent. “Me and you.”

When Buffy gets her memory wiped by a spell, she seeks out Faith to answer some burning questions.

Summary
Kate wakes the next morning to find Yelena curled into her side, their legs tangled together, their hands touching. Yelena blinks slowly at her, smiles. “Good morning,” she says, her voice still heavy with sleep and her accent softly sweet, and there’s that strange flash of familiarity again.
All of a sudden, the realization hits Kate like a sledgehammer: the accent, the blonde hair. The assassin Clint told her about earlier.
Okay. This looks bad.

Summary
Evy O'Connell still loved the scent of books and the organised air of a well-maintained library, but there was nothing like clearing the last shovelful of sand from the entrance to a long-lost wonder of ancient architecture and stepping inside to behold something new.

Summary
They walk out of the house in perfect step. America kicks a portal open for them, and later Kate will remember it this way: the blue light of the star-shaped gate opening around them; the smile curling at the edge of America’s mouth as the border between worlds shatters beneath her boots; it’s the end of the year, start of a new one, and we’re alive -
America’s hand finds Kate’s as they step through the portal, fingers lacing together for the quickest of seconds - barely the length of a heartbeat - and Kate can barely remember how to breathe, and oh.
She’s definitely not that straight.
