This one's Spuffy, but Spike's a slayer, and Buffy's a turned slayer. She was turned and tortured by Angelus, was held prisoner until she finally escaped after several years (for some reason I'm thinking eleven years). I'm pretty sure Dru and Darla were present, as well. Once she escaped, she found refuge with Spike, where she stayed until Angelus kidnapped Spike's girlfriend (Cecily?). Angelus blackmailed Buffy into coming to rescue Spike's girlfriend, and ended up recapturing her. I think she may have slapped the girlfriend to try to get her to stop her hysterics and get her to run, and so the girlfriend decided not to tell Spike and the others what happened. Spike didn't know until he found a letter behind a picture, saying something to the effect of, "If you're reading this, I'm already gone..."

I've been searching all over the place, and I feel silly as hell, because I have found and read this story several times before--but for the life of me I can't think who wrote it.

Thanks in advance for your help

I think it's "Living on the Edge" by DeadAndGone:

Summary: 14 years ago, Buffy Summers was turned. As a Slayer, she kept her soul, but was imprisoned by her new family. Now they have come to Sunnydale, hunting grounds of the new Slayer (we can all guess who...). When Buffy escapes, she must fight for respect and freedom from the very real demons which haunt her every step.

That's it! You're the most awesomest, thanks. I don't know that I would have found that without randomly stumbling upon it. Wow, it's a lot longer than I remember, lol.
