I'm looking for a fic I've read somewhere and I wanted to reread it and I can't find it for the life of me but I remember that Riley went to stake Spike and beats him pretty bad and it's Willow and Tara who find and care for him because he's pretty roughed up.
Also I'm searching for a fic called With a painted ribbon or A painted ribbon or something like that in the title, does anyone know? Thank you! <3

Hi nykteris, I just sent 'With A Painted Ribbon' by Apfeltorte to you. For anyone who would be interested send me a PM with your email address.
With A Painted Ribbon by Apfeltorte Summary: Her Watcher is dead, her school kicked her out, her boyfriend ditched her, her parents tucked her into a mental hospital – Buffy Summers, the new-fledged Slayer, can't imagine her life getting any worse. Until an obnoxious vampire decides to kidnap her, that is. Though what starts as a mutual desire to strangle each other soon leads her to question everything she and he stand for.
