Author’s Note 1 - Thanks to evil_little_dog for the beta. This was written for the Happy Endings ficathon. Challenge parameters are at the end.

Author’s Note 2 – I’m not exactly sure when I wrote this as it seems to be published at none of my usual spots. However, judging by the subject matter, I’m going to say it was around 2006-2008. The Mothman Festival is a real thing but it no longer uses the amphitheater for the talks described here and the Bennigan’s is long gone. But in the time frame I just mentioned this is how the festival was and yes I’ve retconned this a tiny bit. Also it’s AR, ignoring the comic canon because at the time I hadn’t read them (and still haven’t as far as the Buffy comics are concerned).

Author’s Note -- Written for cya_ficathon 2012 for the prompt ‘I'd love fic about Wes/Lilah or Connor/Dawn. I'll enjoy anything about Wes/Lilah. I'd be interested in post-series Connor/Dawn and the issues surrounding having constructed memories’. This is the longest Whedonverse story I’ve done in ages. It is alternative reality, mostly because I don’t really know the comics well and I didn’t want to see half of Team Angel dead. Thanks to evil_little_dog for the beta.
