Spuffy fic with Tara friendship?

[spuffysky.livejournal.com]

Ok, I am very new to this, so please bear (bare?) with me. So sorry if I do this all wrong ;)
I read a fic a long time ago, that I'm almost positive is Spuffy but mostly centers around Spike/Tara friendship. I think pretty early on, maybe right after Dru left Spike or something, he met Tara and they became really good friends, helping each other out. They were thrust into Sunnydale, living together, and the Spuffy started. I think Tara may have been with Willow, or maybe an OC. Not sure. Anyway, at the end there was a future chapter where Spike mourned Buffy and Tara but helped a young Slayer escape from her jerk of a Watcher, even though it was all part of a series. May have been on Just Rewards, which, I have to ask, anyone know what happened to it?
On an unrelated note, there's another fic I remember that was Spuffy and Willow/Oz that had Spike and Oz bonding through music. At one point I think Spike was injured and Oz woke him up by playing a song. Ring any bells?
May be posting more, not sure. Thanks for reading, and I hope you can find these!

I can't remember the name of the first one but I am positive I have read it. Does it start off with Spike finding Tara in a cemetery and he figures out she is a witch? She offers to do a spell for him to get Dru back but only if he takes her out of her fathers house?

Yes, that's the one. Its been driving me nuts.

I know I read it on Elysian Fields. I'll check today and see if I can find it.

I have been searching all day but I still can't find the title. So maybe if we put some more information up some of the others can find it.

Spike agrees to Tara's terms and takes her to her house. There is a confrontation with her father. The two of them leave. Spike never asks Tara to do the spell. Instead they travel all over the US. They even attend some event for witches where both of them get lucky. Eventually Tara decides she wants to go to college. The only problem is she wants to go to the Sunnydale branch of UCLA. She's found the gem of amara and it's in Sunnydale. She wants to get it for Spike. Spike isn't happy about it. He figures since his last visit there (when Angelus was on the loose) he won't be very welcome. Eventually they go there and Spike gets the ring. He becomes friends with Willow and Xander. It takes a while for Buffy to warm up to him though. I remember something about Spike having dreams and being allowed to go into other realms. Something about him protecting slayers for centuries after Buffy is gone. There was a character called Morpheus too. Angel and Angelus make an appearance. Angelus almost rapes Xander, he tries to rape Spike something happens though and I think Spike was nailed to a cross and says a prayer and the cross explodes but Spike isn't hurt? Also I remember a party set up like AA rewards. It was a party because Spike had gone 1 year without killing a human or something like that. Positive encouragement.

See I remember all that but I can't remember the title or author. My brain is fried. Seriously.

I'll have to do further research but I think the word "World" is in the title. Don't know why that came to me.

I believe the first one is "This Is The Way The World Ends" by Dark Eyed Seer (http://www.bloodshedverse.com/authors.php?go=view&who=242)

And I have no idea about the second.

Well that would explain why I couldn't find it. I was looking on the wrong site.
