Spike learns that he never lost his soul when Dru sired him

[peabodyblue.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to remember a Spuffy story.

I think that even Spike is wondering why he is different from other soulless vampires. At some point, Angel admits to Buffy that he thinks something different happened when Dru sired him, and that he never actually lost his soul. I remember that Spike either overhears this, or Buffy or Angel tell him, and he becomes very upset and confused.

Ring any bells?

ETA: Found! Thank you to kimbersdm for helping me!  It is from Shades of Grey, by Dee Bradfield (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/217324/Dee_Bradfield).  (It's the first of 4 stories in her LinkVerse series.)
