Absorb

[o-bugger.livejournal.com]

Looking for a Spike/Buffy fic where something happens to Buffy that makes her absorb traits of the people she comes into contact with. I think it's because of some kind of toxin from when she killed a demon, and she absorbs some of Xander's fear and loses her own hatred of vampires and absorbs Spike's sexual proscuousness or something... I can't remember how they phrased it in the story. Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Another Spike/Buffy fic I'm looking for is when Buffy isn't the Slayer and it's in earlier time period, and she might not even be called Buffy but Elizabeth or something. Vampire Spike/William finds this girl who is trying to be a prostitute for money, but either hasn't done it before or hasn't done it much. He takes her to a big house where they stick together for a while, and he is worried that if he turns her, she won't be her anymore and she won't care about him. Fuzzy on some details and not even sure it's completed, but I want to read it again. Thanks to anyone who remembers!

I was hoping someone here could help me.  I remember a series in which Spike and Fred started out friends and got involved with each other.  I am not positive but I think eventually Wes became involved too.  I know they joked about all of their names starting with W and that they had allbeen geeks.  I think it started out with them watching a soccer game together.  

Thanks for any help anyone can give me.
