Buffy is forced into fighting demons in the ring to protect Druscilla for the sake of Spike's memory

I don't remember many details but this fic takes place post season 7. Buffy separates herself from the Scoobies in her grief over Spike. Somehow she re-connects with Druscilla and cares for her out respect for Spike's memory. The two end up captured and Buffy has to fight demons in a ring for sport. I think she has to win so many fights to win freedom for her and Dru, but I might be confusing that part with another story.

that sounds like one of Kari Mouke's fics Acting on instinct its hard to find working links to most of her these days tho

Could it be...

Acting on Instinct by Kari Mouke

Devestated by Spike's death, Buffy goes on a mission to rescue his sire, Drusilla, from a gladiator ring. When the slayer goes missing Giles calls Angel to find her. Spike, still a ghost at W&H, insists on helping to rescue his girls.

Yes, that's it. Thanks so much. I miss Kari Mouke's writings so much. Loved her stuff and wish I could find more of it.
