season5, no Dawn, the Key is something different

I started to read this fic not so long ago but now I cannot find it anymore.
I'm almost quite sure it was a new fic beign written. But unfortunaltely I have been reading way too many fics recently (since I've been sick I've done nothing else but read fics).. Some were new, some old and some were unfinished..

Dawn did not exist but Glory did and the Key was some artifact Joyce had bought from one of her trips and it was on the dining table (?).. And when she brought it home the scoobies were all there spending time watching movies. And Buffy and Joyce had a nice conversation in the kitchen and Buffy liked the thing Joyce had bought (at the time she did not now it was the key nor did she get any weird wibe from it) and then Joyce went to bed.
And that's all I remember for sure..
Also maybe it was in this fic or maybe I'm confusing it with another but she had a nice sweet relationship with Riley.

Is it Vice Versa by 1OddDuck? It's incomplete (though still being updated, the last time being 09 Mar 11) at fanfiction . net and the summary is:-

Buffy's life is imploding, and the only one who understands is the one person she's meant to hate. As her life and feelings start to change, Buffy realises Spike may be the only one who can save her. Set in an AU Season 5 without Dawn. B/S.

It does have Buffy and Riley in a rather nice relationship to begin with (boo, hiss!!) but then Buffy starts to feel something toward Spike.

Hope this is the one.

that's the one. Thank you so much for finding it for me.

You're welcome, glad I could help!
