Joyce finds out that Spike's birthday is coming up and decides to throw him a suprise party.

Again, I find myself struck with a case of "I know the entire plot, but not the title nor the author." Seems to be happening to me a lot lately.

So here it goes.

No specific season- maybe vague illusions to Season 4-5, only a happier AU verse where Spike is a part of the Scoobies (or at least they don't hate him.) Joyce finds out that Spike's birthday is coming up and decides to throw him a suprise party, which the other Scoobies help plan. She has Buffy invite Spike over to their house under the impression that Joyce wants to talk to him or something.
I remember that Willow and Tara give him a present that turned out to be a stuffed Duckula or something along that line, and someone taking lots of pictures of him surrounded by wrappings and with cake on his face.
More specifically, I remember the punch at his party being of the liquor variety, and Spike getting majorly hammered (supposedly) and him and Willow have this ridiculous (but hilarious) conversation. Buffy, who managed to stay sober is assigned with the task of taking Spike home ( he lives in an apartment in this story) They end up stumbling through his door together, and Spike falls in her lap and is rubbing it and purring if I'm not mistakened. She tries to get him to go to bed (and this part I'm not 100% sure on) and he agrees only if she'll either sleep with him (in a non lovin' way) or kiss him. She humors him, thinking that he's drunk and agrees and it turns out he's completely sober and only pretended so she'd go home with him.
Loving comes next, along with words of love... and for some reason the fact that Buffy notices Spike has a tattoo of a sun on his chest stands out, but I might be pulling this outta nowhere.

Gosh, with all this information I could probably write this story myself. Ugg.. I always feel so ridiculous being so overly descriptive. I take overkill to a whole knew level don't I? I guess I'm under the impression that the more descriptive, the better chance at being found. Then again you guys have done wonders with only a few vague ideas. Hope you can help me. Thanks in advance.

		I recently reread Saber ShadowKitten / saved some as .pdf to read later and saw this one: No Big Deal Joyce finds out it's Spike's birthday and wants to throw him a party, but things never seem to go as planned. Season 4 implied (Rated R) Spike has an appartment in this story. Just checked the story again, doesn't seem to fit, details you mentioned are missing. Good luck finding the other one you're looking for. I'd be interested to read this one, too.

		Thought I'd update and let everyone know that someone managed to find this fic for me on another website. The story was A VAMPIRE'S BIRTHDAY AND SCHLAYER'S GIFT by CARO. Thanks again.
