I'm afraid I don't remember many details about this particular story, but it was Xander-based and fairly long.  After being possessed by the Soldier, he became a permanent part of Xander's mind and melded with him somehow, in addition it unlocked the Hyena as well but they were all still completely separate entities.  He was also able to let them take control of his body. I think I remember another character being added to his mind somehow but I'm not positive. 

Edit:  I believe it started with a scene from the Soldier's point of view.

bespectacled Spike!

I'm trying to remember what story included Spike neediing to wear glasses for reading, but trying to keep that a secret.

I know that he has glasses in Dancing Lessons (dl_archive ), but I'm thinking of a different story.

Spike and Buffy are together in this one.  I remember one scene in which Buffy finds the glasses in his shirt pocket, and leads him to believe that she threw the shirt out.  He's in a panic, but doesn't want to tell her the reason that he needs the shirt back.  After letting him suffer a bit, she pulls the glasses out, and asks if he was worried about those.  (And then she asks him to wear them for her, and she thinks he looks very nice in them.)

I really appreciate any help with this one!

ETA - (feeling silly)  I found it myself! It's a scene in A Raising in the Sun by Barb Cummings.  (Cute scene, too!)

I recall a story where the slayers are low on money and started doing print and I think TV ads for various products.  There are a lot of pictures of Spike, Buffy, Angel, Giles, Faith, Dawn, Willow, Xander, and I think Anya in print ads for hair care, lingerie, leather dusters, romance novels, cars, boots, jewelry, and other things I can't recall at the moment.  I'm pretty sure I found the story at Twisting the Hellmouth, but for title or author I haven't a clue.  Does anyone remember this one?
