AU Buffy is a Slayer that was kidnapped by the Watcher's Council her watcher is an evil women.

Spike and Buffy get together somehow he helps her they go to hide in an abandoned house. Buffy 'nests' in the house and makes it so Spike can't get back in after going out...lol

Dang it this is driving me nuts!

Okay this is a real stretch because I hadn't finished reading it and it was a long time ago but could it be the To See the Sun Again and Days in the Sun series by Kallysten? Found here:

I think it was that series. I may be thinking of a different story though, so check it and see if that is it and if not then I'll have to think harder.

Sorry nope thats not it..ugh Buffy was young in this fic under 19 anyway. She is in hiding from the watchers council or her watcher anyway.

Damn.

Was the house in England or Sunnydale? I think the one I am thinking of (assuming it's not the one above) was in London and Spike owned it. Does that sound like it?

It was an abandoned house. I think in LA...maybe? It wasn't Sunnydale or London. They do some traveling in the fic I think. They had to kill the vamps that had the house first. Thats all I got..

I read it maybe a year ago.

Oh. Then I have no idea. Sorry.

Thanks for trying. I'll keep looking it's got to be somewhere!

Sounds like Icemink's Freedom.

Set in the world of the The Wish. Instead of snapping Buffy's neck, the Master keeps her imprisoned so that another Slayer can't be called, and so that he will be free to carry out his plans. In the mean time he's called the last of the Aurelius line, Drusilla and Spike, to help him run his new kingdom in Sunnydale.

That's it thank you thank you thank you! It has been driving me nuts!
