I'm looking for a few fics this time.

1 A series of fics taking place in Season 5. Spike is helping Buffy and Dawn out a lot, taking care of them and I think living in Revello Drive house with them, but then Glory takes him and tortures him and then brain-sucks him like she does to humans. The house is blown up and they all move to an apartment where Buffy and Dawn try to take care of Spike while he's insane and child-like. Dawn somehow ends up fixing him by being the Key, replacing what Glory took out. <FOUND>

2 Everyone is playing a game of truth or dare at Buffy's house. Buffy ends up kissing Spike due to a dare. Somehow, she also finds out Riley has been going to vamp bite houses and breaks up with him, too.

3 Buffy and Spike are sleeping together but she decides she needs to push him away for his own good. To do that she calls him Angel while they are together and he gets really upset and throws her out. <FOUND>

4 I know this one is frustratingly vague, but I only have one scene for certain in my head. A group of humans or humanoids monks or something attack at Revello and Buffy finds Spike feeding off one of them as the fight ends, able to kill him without the chip going off. A discussion with Dawn that happens later in the fic brings up Frankenstein's monster story and how the villagers' treatment almost made him a monster and comparing it to Spike. I think it was an AU version of Season 5. <FOUND>

5 Spike and Buffy do a spell to remove the Key from Dawn into a locket. Any clues what story this is? <FOUND>

I'm fairly sure the first one is by Ripe Wicked Plum called Origins. There are 12 parts to the series. Here is a LINK (http://www.ripewickedplum.com/series.htm) for it, last one on the page. I think the part your looking for is in the chapter called The Key.

I'm pretty sure the fic is Out Of My Head by AJ Hofacre http://www.bloodshedverse.com/stories.php?go=all&no=9330

Yes, that was the story. I kept thinking it was in season 5 and messing up my searches. Thanks for figuring it out.

I think no 4 is It's Not Where You Start Out (http://www.vampires-kiss.net/archive/viewstory.php?action=printable&textsize=36&sid=723&chapter=all) by Kelly Frieders.

and no 5 could be "The Spell" by Jungle Cat. Haven't got time to find a link for this one as I'm just off to work but will try and track it down later.

Thanks so much, both of those stories are correct for what I'm looking for, though it took me a while to find The Spell on fanfiction.net. Thank you for replying!
