I just read this like 3 days ago after finding it browsing found fics.
It's called
freedom by ice mink and I know is on ef.
Buffy had been captured by the master so no new slayers can be called and spike frees her. It's set in the wishverse. They go to library when spike tries to prove her female watcher tried to kill her to prove who she was and that the council had kidnapped her when she was a child. Spike vamps the watcher to get info instead of killing her outright (although he does stake her at the end mainly because Buffy hates her I think). Buffy gets turned into a vamp in this by her own choice as a way to help kill the master and also because of the councils behaviour and her own naïveté she doesn't feel like she belongs anywhere etc etc.
Good fic
