Desperately Seeking Stories

[sidhlairiel.livejournal.com]

Hi there everyone. There are two BtVS fics I read on fanfiction.net years and years ago and any help finding them would be much appreciated.

1) A story called Cradle. It was a different take on the aftermath of season 6 and featured Buffy and Giles having a very frank discussion about her and Spike's relationship. I read it on fanfiction.net years ago but I can no longer find it using the search engine.

2) A simply wonderful AU fic set in season 5 in which time was stuck in a mummy hand-like loop and a wounded Spike kept waking up in his trashed crypt every morning. I also remember that there was a huge action set piece which took place in the mall; Anya fell from one of the upper balconies and Spike managed to catch her and they both landed in the mall's fountain unharmed. It was a Spike-centric fic but all of the Scoobies were involved. If anybody knows the name/location of this story I would appreciate it so much.

Thanks!

Augh! I just reread the second one a few weeks ago and the title is absolutely escaping me. I'll do some hunting around to see if I can find it (since I know I have it saved), or hopefully someone else will know it right away.

I've found the correct fic now, but thanks for the quick reply! ^_^

I think the second fic is Dispose the Day by Sersi & Cylla. Here is the link to the first chapter: http://www.catnip.me.uk/dispose.html

There's T'eyla Minh's Cradle at Sinister Attraction:
