Hi, all
I'm looking for a fic I read a few weeks ago on EF where Buffy, Willow, and Dawn do a spell to bring Spike back post series, but it brings Boxer Rebellion evil William the Bloody instead of souled Spike because Buffy's Spike is actually alive in Los Angeles and can't be brought by the spell. Buffy gets to meet the real evil Spike and see the difference between him and the guy from Sunnydale. Eventually, her Spike comes and they send evil WtB back to his own time with an HEA/HFN for Spuffy.

Does anyone know the title or author of this fic? I can't seem to find it again and it is driving me nuts. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

You know, looking for this fic drove me completely crazy too! I knew it, but I couldn't find it anywhere on EF. The I thought maybe it was not on EF after all...
Really hope it's the one.
