Oh, thank you. It did turn out to be Chase's "Thrall" after all. I would never have found it on my own since I had completely forgotten the name of it. What an excellent fic. I will forever be sorry that it was never finished, since there was obviously some great potential for an angsty romance, and interesting further conflict with the Scoobies there, that could have been further developed had the story been longer than 9 chapters. (Although what is there is great -- the characterizations of Buffy and Spike are particularly excellent).
The other one, by revello1620, though not the fic I was looking for, was also very enjoyable. Thanks for that too. |
