Hello everybody!

i'm looking for a long, spuffy fic that I think has been written at least a couple of years ago.
Spike and Buffy love each other and live together. I seem to remember they also have a daughter and -if I'm not mistaking - they married when the girl was like 3 or something, towards the end of the fic.
it was very long and probably with lots of plot/fights: maybe started canon and then veered out of it after a bit...
if i'm not confusing fics, they started living together without actually being together, but the most definite particular I recall is that, even being happy and in love for years, Buffy never told him 'i love you' since she was scared of the three little words...at the end she did obviously, even if he always knew

any idea?

thank you!

Bittersweet series...? Buffy has trouble emotionally connecting to her daughter in that story--although she had told Spike she loved him. Sorry, I tried!

hello, and thank you for your reply!

Actually that's not the one I'm looking for: the fic I have in mind is much lighter and I cannot remember Buffy having problems with her family!
she loved very deeply, she just wouldn't tell him direclty...but they were happy

thank you so much anyway: I read some chapters of the Bittersweet series but I did not know there were so many chapters, so many characters...I'll take a look just for fun!
