I am looking for two Spike/Buffy fics.

1) After season 4, so Riley and Buffy are together and I think the Initiative is gone.

Something happens to Buffy to make her see the true forms of things. She first notices when she wakes up and sees a glass of water as disgusting, green-tinged and with things floating in it. Then she goes downstairs and sees her Mom looking sick and rotting and freaks out. Anya looks like Aud, a very sweet girl with a light around her. Willow is black-haired, black-eyed and veiny. Tara glows. Riley looks like a bloated corpse. Spike is very complicated- Buffy sees him as William, and a glow around his heart that has words stream out of, writing poetry across his chest before the lines vanish. There is a rippling curtain of darkness behind him that seems to whisper to him.

I can't remember anything about the plot, just these details of what Buffy sees in people. What Buffy saw when she looked at Spike made him very nervous and jumpy, and there is one point where they are both sleeping in the lower level of his crypt, and she comes over to sit beside him and reads the words of poetry appearing on his chest and he panics and jumps up.


2) There are a lot of fics in season 4 where Buffy goes up against Adam, and the one I'm looking for I only remember a specific scene. Buffy is in a meeting with some Initiative soldiers as they discuss how to take out Adam together. They are talking about his uranium power core, and when one of the soldiers asks how they're going to get it out, Buffy shrugs and casually remarks that she was planning on ripping it out of his chest with her bare hands. All the soldiers fidget or get nervous at this sudden reminder that the cute little blonde is actually such a brutal fighter, totally unlike them and their technology.

I know Spike is part of the fight against Adam, but I can't remember if there are any spells involved. The big showdown with Adam, though, takes place ahead of his schedule so he is in his cave hideout rather than inside the Initiative.


Thanks for any help with these two fics!

No clue on the first one, but the second one sounds like my "Promises Kept" which you can find at http://spuffystuff.org/promiseskept.htm

Don´t know if it was you who posted the same search at Spuffyrealm too. I knew this fic and allways hoped that somebody would find it again.
Now I stumbled (rather accidentally) over it myself. Right at The Spuffyrealm.

It´s "Unscathed" by Randie

and can be found here
