'Retreat' (Part 1) by Jane Espenson

Humanity is now living side-by-side with Vampires, while the Slayers are forced further and further into hiding. With their Scotland castle destroyed, Buffy and her Slayers go into hiding with the aid of Willow’s magic. Meanwhile, in Berlin, Faith and Giles evade the latest attack from a gang of demons, and decide to rejoin Buffy. In Rome, Andrew and his team of Slayers investigate the catacombs under the city and come face-to-face with Warren and Amy; barely escaping with their lives, they head back to Scotland, arriving just as Buffy’s forces come under attack from Twilight’s army of demons, who have traced them via the magic spells cast by Willow and her Wiccans. A bloody battle ensues – but the Slayers are heavily outnumbered, and Buffy is forced to sound a retreat to the safety of their submarine. With her options running out, Buffy decides to visit the one man she knows who makes a living from avoiding magic…
