I think this is my first question here (amazing, considering my lousy memory for fic titles and authors). Anyway, here's one I'd love to find again.

Set post season VI (perhaps post Chosen?), a human Spike is staying with Giles in England while they try to sort out what happened to him (I believe he may have been in Africa to get his soul, and this was the result). Buffy shows up. There is awkwardness and work to do, but she and Spike get on a motorcycle and head off together. There is a (hot) reunion when they've worked through their issues and they seem to be on their way to a real relationship. Then bad guys show up. In the course of a fight in which Spike does things that shouldn't be possible for an ordinary human, a house elf of some sort points to him and calls him "Slayer". And that's all I've read. There was clearly intended to be more, as a friend has been kidnapped and the bad guys (the Council, maybe?) are still out there, but that is all I've read. If you know where this fic is archived (I believe it was a UK-based site) or the title or author, I'd love to find it again to see if she's finished it.

That sounds like "Halfgifts", by automatedalice. Unfortunately, the author quit fandom, and took her stories down... It's a real shame, it was a beautifully written story!

You can probably find it with the wayback machine...

I have it in a word document if you'd like me to email it to you.

[tazza-di-jo.livejournal.com]

Could you email it to me, please?
gio_peste @ yahoo.it

It sounds like a really interesting story to read.
Thank you!!

[mary5958.livejournal.com]

It's on its way! :-)

[tazza-di-jo.livejournal.com]

Hi Mary, could you send it to me too? Especially if it is finished :)

[mary5958.livejournal.com]

It's on its way! :-)

[cordykitten]

Hi again!
Mary, did you sent the email? Because I didn't get it (maybe it got deleted when I deleted my spam filter).
Could you send it again: cordykitten
@ gmail.com ? That should work, there isn't a spam filter where the email is in danger.
TIA!

[cordykitten]

Got it now :) Wanted to say thank you for it

[debris4spike]

Another request for it to be sent - pretty please! Debs@difubiti.fsnet.co.uk

Oh gosh, you've already filled so many requests! Can you send it to me too, though? I'd really appreciate it. I completely forgot about that one.

Thanks! ♥

I'm late jumping onto the bandwagon but I would love a copy of Automated Alice's Halfgifts if you don't mind emailing it yet again.

Many thanks in advance!

[slaymesoftly.livejournal.com]

That is it! Thanks! I'll give that a try.

Do you have a finished copy. Even if it isn't, could I also have a copy? Thanks!

[mary5958.livejournal.com]

Tried to respond to your email, but aol wouldn't let me. Huh. So here's my response:

No problem - it only takes a second.

I haven't read the story for a long, long time. I seem to recall I thought it had beautiful language, though!

Hope you enjoy it.

Me too!!!!!!

The Wayback machine caught it here:

Me too!

[hotlipedjen1.livejournal.com]

I went to the web archive but I only get 'x' boxes up and can see a thing! Would somebody be kind and just mail me a copy? (jlove0411htlps@yahoo.com) Sounds like some good reading! Thanks.

Re: Me too!

[mary5958.livejournal.com]

I think if you click in the boxes with the red x's it will take you to the chapters. However, the copy I sent you may contain additional material posted in Shannon/AutomatedAlice's LJ and not included on the website found with the wayback. It was sent to me last year by makd.

[mary5958.livejournal.com]

I think I've got everyone covered!! If you requested a copy of this fic and didn't get it (possibly twice!), just give me a cyber kick in the rear, and I will get it off to you.

And slaymesoftly, it was no problem, honestly. *hugs*

[caliente-uk.livejournal.com]

I know I'm asking a year after the original request, but I'd love a copy of Half Gifts by Shannon if you still have it, Mary. I only have an unfinished version on my HD, and it's one of my favourite stories. Thank you so much! :)

Me, too!

[fangfan.livejournal.com]

I'm a newbie to this community and to LJ. This fic sounds like one I started reading a while back and lost track of where it was archived. Could you please send me a copy, too? I'd be ever so grateful! My email address is dcleis@yahoo.com. Thanks!
