It's post everything. Spike has this great conversation with Giles about football then gets Buffy a drink. It's sweet and I can not find it.

Spike and Giles watch a football match in Dactylgirl`s Boxing Day, but it`s during season 10, so no housewarming party.

There is also a season12 fic by sandy_s titled Finding Her way Back To Him. It takes place at Dawn´s housewarming party in season 12 but there is no talk about Football.

I love Boxing Day... actually I love anything Dactylgirl wrote. That's not it, but re-read is now on the cards.

The second one is lovely, but not it either.

I swore it was the Moonmoth or the person formerly known as Spuffyluvr or Solstice. Unfortunately not them.
