Buffy is living in a crapbox apartment, maybe in Cleveland...

...She patrols and finds a 'feral' resurrected Spike, who she brings home. He gets his memory back a bit at a time, while she struggles not to give in to their desires while he isn't himself. A bath is involved. I can't remember the title or author-it's not "Distance" by Herself; this is a much shorter story.

That was fast, thank you. So maybe I don't get the hang of the search feature, because I try keywords, like Cleveland and don't find the fics I am looking for. There is another post BtVS series Cleveland Hellmouth fic where Buffy is there with Faith and newbie slayers. It's winter, Spike is around and they aren't sure if he's on their side. And something about a dress, I think. Dang, my memory is shot. Any ideas?
