So the story I'm trying to find has Buffy as a tv show actress. Spike is a singer who decides to make the transition to acting. He is brought in as the new hunk on the show. There is a sequel that has them go to an award show and they win.

I also just remembered that in this story Xander is mentally handicapped. If that helps anyone remember the story. I also remember a dinner as a set on the show and Spikes character riding a motorcycle. Hopefully someone knows what story I'm talking about.

Maybe Wilson's mountain diner? I can't remember the author sorry.

I've only read the first few chapters but Buffy is the star of a daytime soap and Spike is brought in to raise flagging ratings.

Here it is Wilson's Mountain Diner by LoobyLoo
Summary: Buffy's life in a sleepy stale afternoon soap opera is turned upside down with the arrival of a new bad boy on the block

That's it! Thank you so much. I've been looking for this one for a long while now.
