This was always one of my favourites, centering as it does on the 3 Englishmen in the Buffy/Angelverse, Spike, Giles & Wesley.

The original site ( myarseisnotpansy dot co dot uk ) is now defunct, but as I had saved the 'chapter index page' I have managed to find all the actual 'story' chapters via the Wayback machine.

Unfortunately, in the middle the story is continued by way of a blog, which was posted on an LJ account. That account is now dead and the WBM has no archives of the entries.

I'm clutching at straws here, hoping that someone might have saved the entire thing while the LJ account was still active...?

Do you mean the online lj 'blog' that was written from the viewpoint of the three men/characters? I do have that as well as the original story. Contact me through my contact here at TSR and I'll email it to you.

It was in the Better Buffy Fiction archive and a couple years ago I made a point of copying all of the archived fics and the linked fics from the yahoo group page as a precaution, just in case something happened (I'm a mod over there). This one was by link only, though, so I'm lucky the link still worked then so I could grab it. I wish these things wouldn't disappear but I'm glad I was able to catch so many of them before they did. This was all done for my own benefit, of course, but as it happens other people are missing stuff too. So if you need something and I have it I am happy to share it.

Thank you, SMac. I had thought I was clutching at straws, and yet I should have known you'd have the answer

Hmm... I'm trying to write to your contact thingy, SMac, but I keep being told it has encountered an error, please try again. I shall try once more...

Nope, it's definitely not working

Click on the little envelope by my name to PM here and leave your email address in your message. I wonder why my contact link on my author page isn't working? I've been getting email this afternoon from other TSR forum members. Hmmmm....

Oh dear...
I did exactly as you said and got the error:
Message sending failed. Reason: the user you are trying to send a message to doesn't exist.
Is you a ghostie, SMac?

I feel real...

Leave your email address here in the thread then and I'll use it to email it to you. I have no idea what's going on with the contact system here, that's not my area of expertise.

Thanks, SMac.

I have all the story except the blog entries in the middle where the 3 main protagonists keep in touch.

My email address is: All4Spike@Hotmail.co.uk

Okay, I just sent it. It's a big file so let me know if you have a problem receiving or opening it.

SMac, can you send it to me also. I have the same problem as All4Spike, which means we are obviously dating ourselves!

Thanks in advance.

I think you already have my email addy. . .

I'd be happy to send it to you but I don't still have your address, I recently cleaned out my messages.

For this thread I will post my address since you guys are having problems with the system right now.

valkyrie2@charter.net

If you want the Eyes Only story and extra blog file email me and I'll be happy to send it to you.
