Help please

Have been trying for some time to find a fic that I read about a year ago (just as I was getting into the fact that fanfic existed!). The little I can remember is as follows:

Season 6. Anya and Spike have sought solace with each other and been seen via the cameras set up by the Trio. Xander takes off to the Magic Box with Buffy following and thinking she'll get there in time. But she don't and Xander dusts Spike. There's more but it's kinda fadey in the old memory. It's the sort of fic you read if you want to get cosy with a box of tissues.

I have a feeling this is by a writer I read regularly (hangs head in shame at bad memory) but for the life of me I can't find it again. Help and pointers greatly appreciated.

I dont' know it - but if you find it, please let me know!

Oh dear, I hope you find it too. Doesn't ring any bells at all in my old grey cells, but I'd like to read it.

I was hoping it might ring a bell with you. Darnit!

I just can't remember how it ends. I know that Anya calls Xander a murderer and I sorta think (which could be load of tosh) that either Buffy collected ashes and set up a shrine and they were reunited in heaven - or Dawn was investigating some way to get him back. I can't even remember if it was finished or a WIP. Argh!

I'll keep looking but it's doing me head in. Cheers, hun.

Once I get some sleep I'll look through my favorites folders....I KNOW I read this one. Buffy has a bit of a breakdown and everyone realizes she loved Spike...thing go really bad for everyone and Buffy isn't connecting with anyone. They try to find a way to bring Spike back and it is complete (with a happy ending BTW)....Wish I could remember, like you I know it's someone I read a lot of!

I am crossing all my bits and bobs that you are the answer to a gal's prayers! This is getting beyond frustrating so I hope you are sleeping even now and the vibes are working! LOL

Hugs, sweetie.

I remember one where Spike is brought back because Buffy is so devastated, but he wasn't killed by xander in the one I'm thinking of. Not that it matters, because as we all know, I wouldn't remember the title or author anyway. LOL *rattles head to see if any brain cells left*

This is so annoying. I thought it was one of yours to start off with (obviouisly I checked and found I was wrong). It's one of those fics that you don't quite remember... but could never forget. Know what I mean? Annoying is what it is! LOL

LOL It can be frustrating when you remember you really liked a story and want to reread it and have no idea where it was or what it was called. Wasn't mine though - I've brought Spike back once or twice, but not from dust and not during Season VI.
