post-NFA, Buffy and Spike trust issues, eventually Spuffy

Hi everyone! There are a couple of canon fics like "The Big Easy" by Lady Wenham and "Baby Blue" by Anaross that show Buffy and Spike having an uneasy working relationship for a few months/years after the events of "Not Fade Away" (ignoring Season 8). Especially in "The Big Easy" there's all kinds of tension because Buffy can't forgive Spike for not telling her he was alive, but it ends in a (hint of a future) Spuffy way. They have to work out their trust issues with each other, often after having dated other people, but they eventually get together. Does anyone know any similar fics? Thanks!

I think most of these are close to what you want. I wasn't sure if memory problems were something you didn't want so I included a few with that detail.

We Own The Night --- by OKDeanna

Summary: Canon, Post Series Buffy Summers hated lying, but sometimes a girl had to do what a girl had to do and this, unfortunately, was one of those times. Because if she told Spike the truth, he'd likely think her insane, but if she lied, if she said she was happy for him when she wasn't, maybe he'd come to realize what she'd only just begun to learn.
When you love someone, you do whatever it takes to get them back, even if it means telling them a little white lie to make it happen...
