How about the Chains series by Lynn a.k.a. Lynx. It's quite lengthy, sadly incomplete, and very, very good.
The plot: Spike and Buffy team up to defeat Angelus. Both Dru and Angelus are killed at the mansion, and Spike and Buffy turn to each other for comfort. They have a secret relationship, Spike becomes Master, and Buffy starts having dreams about a French slayer from the past. Turns out, there's a past-life kind of connection between Buffy, Spike, the past slayer, and her vampire lover Guillaume. The secret's out, and Willow and Giles research the watcher diaries to find out what happened to Frenchie and her vamp. Unfortunately, Oz gets killed by vamps and Buffy blames Spike. They have a big falling out, complicated by the fact that Buffy's pregnant. Meanwhile, Willow is doing the grieving widow thing before hooking up with Giles. Buffy and Spike reconcile, research continues, but the fic does not.
Sound lie the one you're looking for? I haven't seen this fic for a long time, but it's a bit of a Spuffy classic. I read it obsessively (clearly) back in the day. I'm sure it's still about somewhere. |
