AO3 - Buffy Season 6 alt.?

Hello There!

I'm currently reading "Family" by stuffandnonsense on AO3 and it reminded me of another fic that I'm now looking for.

They are both really similar - but the memory spell by Willow in "Family" doesn't seem familiar. I do know that Willow goes away to a coven in England (Devon?) because she is out of control with her magic. Spike works hard to protect Dawn and Buffy begins to see how supportive he is, resulting in her "choosing his side" again Willow. I believe there is also a scene where Spike works to access a treasure in the sewers in order to provide money for Buffy and Dawn, who are struggling to pay bills now that Buffy is back from the dead.

I do know the story was on AO3 - feel free to comment with questions about the story I'm looking for or any suggestions. Thanks!!
