Spander fic search

[shadowfire2130.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for a fic I read a while ago. It was a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fic with a pairing of Spike/Xander. I don't remember which site it it was on since I've been on many that explore all pairings in this fandom but my brain keeps telling me it was FF.net even though I'm doubtful. Anyway, I don't remember much, which probably doesn't help in finsing it but here are the details that I do remember.

-the story (I think) starts out with Xander being given to Spike as a gift from Angel or Angelus, as Spike thinks he is for he doesn't know about the soul?
-multi-chaptered story, complete, over 10,000 words
-there is one scene where xander comes over to where Spike is staying and the minion or whatever he is, calls Xander Spike's pet and Xander gets a little angry
-Angel tries to kill Spike when becomes Angelus but Spike isn't there or manages to get away and move somewhere else
-Angel might have kidnapped Xander because he wants to claim him or something but I'm not at all sure of this detail
-Buffy and the others are very much against the whole relationship between Xander and Spike
-they might even have tried to tell him Spike is only using him and doesn't feel anything for him

That is all that I remember and I hope that someone can help to find this story for me. Even if you have stories that sound similar I would be very grateful for even one suggestion. After all, it will be one more to take off the list of potentials.

Can't really help but maybe try bloodclaim. I think it might be more helpful. Or maybe try searching on http://spanderfiles.com/categories.html

Hope someone can help.

Thanks for the recommendation of a place to look. I've sent a request to join the community you mentionned and hopefully it will be approved soon so I can get someone that hoepfully knows this story.

Thanks again.

Sounds like 'Nothing The Same'. You can read it at The Spander Files.

The title does sound familiar. Could you give me the link. I don't want to have to search for it.

Thanks.

Thanks. I just read it and that is definitely it except for just one detail which is definitely not from this story.

Might be Hold Me. Thrill Me. Kiss Me. Kill Me. :http://spanderfiles.com/arvs/amejisuto/thrill.html
If it's not the one you're still looking for, it's still an awfully good read.

Thanks for the suggestion but someone else told me just yesterday or maybe a few days ago that it was Nothing the Same. Oh, wait. That was you wasn't it? I forget who it was by, maybe orchidluv, but the story you suggested sounds good too. I'll be sure to read it.

Yep, that was me! I was rereading HMTM & it also fits your criteria closely enough that I thought I'd post it for you. The main difference is that in this one Xander starts having nightmares in which Dru passes her psychic gift to him. It's a great read.
