Fic search

Another story I've been looking for, is also primarily a Spike/Xander fic. Angel is there as well, and Riley gets turned. (somehow, can't remember) Spike and Xander Mate, or whatever you want to call it, marry, claim each other, whichever term this particular fic used. Angel goes a bit crazy, and ends up tied to a chair in the kitchen (I think it was the kitchen), rocking and talking to himself, no-one knows what's wrong with him until one of the boys (Xander I think?) suddenly shouts out "empty nest syndrome!' I think Angel ends up with Riley? Ring a bell with anyone?

Half-Remembered Buffy Fanfiction-- "No! I can't be the... last!"

Hello, y'all. I have this niggling fanfiction plot stuck in my head that I am dying to pin a title too. Would anyone here happen to know of this story?

It was a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fic (TV show flavor) that was probably hosted on fanfiction.net. I probably read it around 2003-2005, which was a time when I read a lot of fanfiction as a happy outlet for my graduate school-deadened brain.

The fic was futuristic dystopian, and the current slayer (not Buffy, but I don't think that was clear at the story's start) was living in the aftermath of some cataclysmic event. She found herself fighting fewer and fewer vampires, and it was only after she realized how long it had been since she'd last seen any person, even a vampire, that she realized the cataclysm had effectively killed off the human population and with it the vampire population had followed. The last line of the story paraphrased along the lines of, "No... no... I can't be the... last!" where it's made clear that the slayer isn't just the last of the slayers but the last living person on the planet.

To make things more difficult, there is a chance this fic might have been one chapter of a multi-chapter fic, with each chapter exploring a different theme. :( My thought here are so vague it isn't even funny.

Any help you guys could give would be so appreciated!
