help?

I'm looking for a fic. Or rather the name and/or author of a fic. Set in season 4, Spike gets recaptured by the Initiative and Buffy goes in to save him. I know, lots of fics like that. This one was written at the time the season aired, in it Maggie is Riley's biological mother and her hubby is a big blobby monster thing living in the bowels of the complex (side effects of Maggie's experimentation. Deliberate or accident, can't remember). I remember Maggie interviews Spike about his human past and Buffy gets ahold of the tapes and gets all emotional whist listening to them in her car. It's an older fic (written pre-FFL) so his background in the story doesn't match current canon. There also may have been a scene in which Buffy fights a water demon as part of her Initiative trainer (the demon is actually a sort-of pet and they have to stop her from killing it), but I could be confusing that with another fic, I can't remember clearly.

Sound familiar to anyone? I know I have it saved on my computer somewhere and would really like to read it again, I just need a little bit to go on.

Fic Search......

I'v been searching for a fic for a while now and I'm hoping that someone will be able to help me find it

It takes place post graduation and AU season four
When Angel was poisoned he drank too much from Buffy, he freaked out and turned her, then ran away from Sunnydale.
Spike shows up later and teaches her how to be a vampire. 

I really hope that this is enough info and that someone out there can help me find it.

I'm looking for a Spuffy story where Buffy is turned by Angel(i think) or Dru. She has a slayer dream where Faith (i'm pretty sure it was her) or Kendra tells Buffy to drain her so that she can defeat Angel... i don't remember anything else. Any Help to find this or if it even sounds farmilliar and you have anything to add would be most helpfull. Thanks.
