I have looked for this fic for a week and cannot find it. It has the song Fields of Gold in it. Spike has searched for Buffy for years after losing contact with the Scoobies. He meets an old woman sitting on a bench and develops a friendship with her. The old woman is Buffy, of course, but Spike does not recognize her. Buffy ends up in the hospital, Spike finds her, Buffy sadly dies, and the words to Fields of Gold are referenced, and I believe that Spike reunites with Buffy after they both die. I hope someone can help! Thanks in advance😊

I hope someone can help because I sure would like to read this one -

Hope this is the one you are looking for. Here is the description and a link I found - it's listed in the Sinister Attraction site which can now be found, don't know how much of it at The Slayer Network.

~ Only Ones, The author Nebula
Summary: Future fic, post Not Fade Away. In the year 2053, Spike is still searching for Buffy, who disappeared years ago. An elderly woman befriends him and keeps his hope alive. Maybe she can help him find his missing love...

Yes, nmcil, you found it! I searched EF but I think the title threw me off. Now after re-reading the story, I realize the title refers to Spike and Buffy being the only ones left. And the story didn't have as much reference to the song Fields of Gold as I thought, but for some reason I've heard that song a lot lately and I have not been able to get this story out of my head. Thanks for finding this story and I so enjoyed re-reading it this morning!

Glad this is the one you were looking for -

I tried several word combinations before I found it - best results were with future fic spike searches for buffy and buffy old. LOL - I almost never can find stories trying google, so this was nice for me as well.

I will be reading right after I finished the Covenant.

NICE ID and ID Icon.
