so i just reread Forward to Time Past by my dear friend Unbridled_Brunette and as always.. IT WAS AMAZING! now i'm dieing for more awesomeness in the same vein. so any fantastic rec's?

Only Time Will Tell
A year after the Hellmouth collapsed, Buffy and co., who now reside in London, are faced with an interesting mission. They must retrieve an artifact, however, this one was destroyed over a hundred years ago. In order to retrieve it, she and her watcher must travel back in time to the late 1800's, to the precise location where William lived before he was turned. Will she risk changing history to seek out the one she loves or will she be put in a completely different situation than she'd anticipated in the first place?

Legions of True Hearts [It's more the sequel 'A Symphony of Echoes' that's Spike/Buffy]
Post graduation, a restless Buffy goes to London to escape the memories of Angel, only to lose herself in unexpected dreams. But is William real, or is he a distraction? Is he, possibly...both? Buffy/William

There's also 'Never Alone' by Lilachigh but that's Buffy/Spike in the 40s and 'Hearts Breaking Even' where he remembers her from when he was a kid ... not exactly what you're looking for but definately worth reading

The stories that are the closest to what you want are the EURYDICE stories LEGIONS OF TRUE HEARTS and the sequel A SYMPHONY OF ECHOES, that were mentioned above.

UNBRIDLED BRUNETTE is starting another story that looks like it will be another masterpiece. Make sure you read THE GIRL WITH FLAXEN HAIR. The story is posted on this site and on EF.

Here are a few others that are have a strong William in the past thread:
