Looking for a fic

[paladin1927.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a fic which I cannot remember any details except for the ending.

The ending has Buffy bringing Spike a magical item (may have been a gem stone) which when held, can detect if the person holding the magical item is telling the truth or lying (by changing color).

I think Buffy wanted Spike to hold the magical item to test whether he was telling the truth or lying about something.

It turns out that Spike was telling the truth, and at the very end of the story Buffy also hold the magical item and tell Spike that she either do care for him or loves him (I can't remember which).

Anyone remembers the story?  Thanks....

Gosh, I know I just read this as well... I am pretty sure the truth thing for Spike was whether or not he'd kill humans without the chip. Maybe the extra detail will help somebody remember?

I've read it too! *bangs her head against the wall* But I can't freaking remember where or the title, or the author...maybe it's from the banging. :D
