Time travel/William fic

Hoping someone can help me find a needle in the haystack of William fics. In this fic, Buffy travels back in time and she and William become lovers (possibly engaged). She has either temporarily fogotten about her 'future life' or she's concealing it, but she does eventually tell William everything. Buffy knows she will be brought back to the future, and she and William talk about it.

What I particularly remember is a super sad goodbye between them, in which they've gone for a walk or ride and tearfully vow their love for each other on a country lane. William lives in a country estate in this fic.

I know it's not much, but here's hoping! Thanks.

Forgot to mention this is not AH - Buffy is the Slayer

Only Time Will Tell by: dampersandspoons

Summary: A year after the Hellmouth collapsed, Buffy and co., who now reside in London, are faced with an interesting mission. They must retrieve an artifact, however, this one was destroyed over a hundred years ago. In order to retrieve it, she and her watcher must travel back in time to the late 1800's, to the precise location where William lived before he was turned. Will she risk changing history to seek out the one she loves or will she be put in a completely different situation than she'd anticipated in the first place?

Falling through the portal causes Buffy to have amnesia at first, but she does eventually remember who she is.

Happy reading!

Thank you so much! That's the one, and I'm impressed that you found it given my very limited info. Thanks again!

One of my favorites and one I've read multiple times. You should read all of dampers' fics if you haven't already. Milkshakes and Motorcycles and Teach Me How are also on my favorites list.

Glad I could be of help.
