time travelling Willow fic

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

I’m looking for a time travel fic. Spike, big bad Spike, and Willow end up going back in time. I forget the pretense but he’s making her take him back and she controls how far back they go and takes it back further than he’d intended. Willow, deciding to fix things, brings them back to Liam’s turning to try to prevent it. She fails and Angel becomes obsessed with Willow. Oh, and there’s something that prevents Willow from aging while they are back in time so she spends a whole lot of time in the past. She does prevent the death of the gypsy girl (I think) and convinces the gypsies to give Angel his soul but without the curse. When Willow finally does get to the present day, rejoining the new timeline, Angel is still obsessed with her - does not love Buffy. In fact, there’s a mural of the place where he’d been given his soul and he has something in the painting to represent Willow, a rose maybe. I forget exactly.

Anyone know it? I read it early on, most likely back in 2008 or 2009 although it could be older than that.

Could be Time Stitches You (http://archiveofourown.org/works/149688) by sinecure, though I don't remeber there any returning back...

Thanks. I think it's "Take Your Time" as suggested by xspike4evax, but I will definitely give this a read.

Time Stitches You is a great story!

I think though that you might be looking for Take Your Time by Carrie, it sounds familiar to me, apart from the mural bit, but there is a sequel to it called It's About Time which I haven't read so that part could be in there. They're both on Reds Soul Mates site which unfortunately now has to be accessed through the way back machine (i'm sure you know that though)

Here's a link to the story page, if it's the story you're searching for.
