Looking for a story along the same vein as 'Forward to Time Passed' by Unbridled Brunette

'Ello there fellow fans,
I was looking for a story along the same vein as 'Forward to Time Passed' by Unbridled Brunette.

Also I lost a fic I was reading a long time ago (or it feels like a long time) about Buffy actually having been sent to a Hell dimension and Spike going in after her, only to find her mad and completely altered.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I think your hell story is the excellent

The Writing on the Wall by HollyDB

http://spikeluver.com/SpuffyRealm/viewstory.php?sid=32668

Summary: There was no body to bury. There was no funeral. There was nothing but the three rules and the knowledge that a thousand years of torment was nothing compared to a world without her in it. Spike embarks on a journey through the Gates of Hell to rescue the one he loves, but in order to save her, he must risk losing himself.

There are two types of time travel history fics: ones where Buffy and Spike go back in time together (most of them) and those where Buffy goes back and simply meets pre-vampire William (like Forward to Time Past). If you don't mind both types there are more recs available.

My personal favorite is one that is more angsty than Forward. It is part of the Bittersweets Series by Herself. It is

Mr Grieves and the Fallen Woman by Herself

http://www.echonyc.com/~stax/Buffy/herself/grieves.htm

Summary: "No!" She lunged at him, grabbed the stuff of his coat in her hand."You have to help me! I know you!"

This is followed by the next part of the series where she comes back to her own time --

The Littler Bit By Herself

http://www.echonyc.com/~stax/Buffy/herself/thelittlerbit.htm

Summary: Tuberculosis, gonorrhea, and unpleasant revelations aren't the only things Buffy brings back with her from her sojourn in London, 1880. A sequel to "Mr Grieves and the Fallen Woman."

I highly recommend reading the entire series, it is angsty but quite excellent.

Of those where they go back together:

Imitation Of A Man by Dark Apple

Summary: The events of "Dead Things" plunge Buffy and Spike, via time travel, into Spike's human past in an experience that transforms Buffy's view of him. The action begins with Buffy's return to the police station alley where, minutes before, she left Spike beaten and bloody.

Only Time Will Tell by Dampersandspoons
spikeluver[dot]com/SpuffyRealm/viewstory[dot]php?action=printable&textsize=0&sid=3193 1&chapter=all
Summary
A year after the Hellmouth collapsed, Buffy and co., who now reside in London, are faced with an interesting mission. They must retrieve an artifact, however, this one was destroyed over a hundred years ago. In order to retrieve it, she and her watcher must travel back in time to the late 1800's, to the precise location where William lived before he was turned. Will she risk changing history to seek out the one she loves or will she be put in a completely different situation than she'd anticipated in the first place?

1880----By: Tales Of The Slayer----BittenandStaked

http://web.archive.org/web/20060627214201/www.talesoftheslayer.com/1880/188001.php

Travelling through time is the last thing Buffy expects to do when she gives chase to a man who has stolen something from the Magic Box. Finding herself in nineteenth century London, there's only one person that Buffy can think of who could help her get home, Spike, or at least his human counterpart, William. The only question is whether Spike is still William at this moment in time or whether it's too late and she'll be stuck in 1880 forever. And even if she finds William, will he be able to help her back to her time and back to the vampire version of himself that she discovers she has feelings for?

Just three things here,

1. Plese post what i is you're looking for, in this case you should have postd this subject line: 'Looking for a story along the same vein as 'Forward to Time Passed' by Unbridled Brunette'.

2. One query per thread, you posted two. I don't ask this to be picky nicky, I ask because it's quite possible that someone will come here seeking the same fic and they won't have to post a query about it because you already have.

3. Normally I wouldn't have said anything, you break the rules here your hread gets deleted and you get ban until further notice, but since it's the holidays and all I'll let this slide...JUST THIS ONCE.

Pari

Wow! I'm SO sorry! I totally didn't know about that rule! And you're completely right. I apologize!
I'll make sure to quickly respond to anyone that asks about the hell dimension fanfic and I will make sure to read the rules.

I apologize again and thanks for the heads up!

Happy Holidays to you as well
