seeking_spikeYou've helped me in the past, so I'm really hoping you'll be able to help me find these fics that are driving me crazy :)
1) This is set in season 5. Only demons recognize that Glory is Ben and when Spike tries to tell anyone, they hear something slightly different due to a confusion spell - like Buffy hears that Ben knows Glory. Spike thinks he's crazy until Clem acknowledges that he understands Spike perfectly and the spell isn't broken until Ben/Glory is killed - I think by Spike - and everyone goes "OMG! That's what Spike meant!" -Still missing. Any ideas? Now found! Masks and Mirrors by pfeifferpack
2) This one takes the premise that "Normal Again" was the true world, not the BtVS show world. Buffy has been lost in her own dream world where she's imagined all that happened in canon, William was her best friend since childhood - and understandably upset over Buffy casting *him* as an evil vampire in her fantasy world. At the very end, William dresses up as Spike (I believe for Halloween?) even though he's not entirely comfortable with it for Buffy. - Found! Even in the Real World by flibble
3) Spike's put through a bunch of trials, for Buffy's sake although I can't remember why exactly. It includes swimming in a lake of holy water and being tied up with no food or blood for what feels like hundreds of years. I believe Wolfram and Hart are involve because Spike has to remember his purpose while he was tied up otherwise, they'll win. And even though Spike forgets his name, he always remembers Buffy and how he has to help her, even when his dream Buffy offers to kill him? (I think, it's all fuzzy.) Once he gets through it, his body even looks like it's been starved for years instead of a day or two. - Found! Writing on the Wall by HollyDB
Anyway, hope these ring a bell with somebody - sorry 'bout the lack of details, it's always just a single thing that really stands out. Thank you so much!

Date: 2009-07-02 06:25 pm (UTC)maybe this one?
Date: 2009-07-02 07:42 pm (UTC)Maybe it's Masks and Mirrors by pfeifferpack? This is an amazing story. I wish pfeifferpack would continue in this world! It was that good!
It sounds like your description and Spike has to work at finding a way to kill Ben...goes out and does it and the others figure it out and then get what he says. There's a few stories out there like this but this one is amazingly close!
If it's not it read this it is extremely good! http://dark-solace.org/elysian/viewuser.php?uid=87 Scroll down and open up Mask and Mirrors but don't forget to sign in or you can't read it here! Or go here but with caution you need to be of age!!!!!
