Whispers in a Dead Man's Ear by "?"

Hallo, Community!
First, I hope this is the right place for this question, if not, let me know and sorry.
I was trying to organize my huge folder of extra old fanfiction, and I found a long story by this title (it's not Waddiwasiwitch's Dawn's story), and for some reason the title is there but not the name of the author. It's a long, well written story if I remember correctly and it starts with:
"Of all the gin joints in all the world…"
Anybody can tell me who's written it?

Okay, a quick search on Bing and then some judicious use of the Wayback Machine seems to show that it's by AmyB.

I found it rec'd on Axis of Love here (http://www.axisoflove.org/affiliates.html) with the author's name... the link was dead, but through the Wayback Machine I got the first chapter here (http://web.archive.org/web/20120711060838/http://www.sand-in-my-shoes.com/mirror/Whispers1.html) and it looks to be the right one!

Check it out! It's on seasonal_spuffy!

Although, it looks like the last chapter is f-locked. :( You have a digital copy?

Aha! Thanks for the link! I somehow missed it when it was first posted, but started it this morning after finding it on the Wayback Machine. That's going to be a much better place to read it.

Thank you very, very much! I don't know how you've done it, I don't know how I wasn't able to...
But I'm happy that I can put a name to it now.

And thanks to you, too!
That excellent work of tagging everything on Seasonal S. comes handy yet again.
I'll forward the eighth chapter right now... or as soon as I have the use of the "big" computer.

So you mean that you will post the last chapter on Seasonal Spuffy?

Because I began reading it yesterday via the wayback link which works fine for me btw. And WOW!

The author has managed to make me cry already and so far she's keeping everything nicely canon which I always love when it comes to Spuffy.

Spike and Buffy are perfect, voices spot on... In short, it's one of the best Spuffy fics I've read in a long time and I've only read 3 chapters so far!

Isn't this community great?
No, I don't mean to mess with Seasonal S. posting, because for one I have troubles even commenting on that (I'm one of those internet idiots), and then I don't think I have the right to do it.
If you find you have problems with that chapter, just drop me a note and I'll send it to you in Txt format.

The best!!!

And I will definitely contact you if I can't read the last chapter. Thanks a lot!

This is the final chapter 8 from the wayback machine minus the set up paragraph. I think its complete?

[relurker.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's what I have too.

[singedbylife.livejournal.com]

nothing to do with seeking it but I read all 8 chapters and this is definitely one of the best reads I've had for a long time.

Thank you for letting me/us know! It feels so nice to have introduced someone to someone else' great work.
