I'm reposting a request of mommyof3 from TWOP. If you can help her with a link she'll be grateful. 

I'm looking for a wonderful fic I read ages ago. I watched Villains, Grave, and Two To Go this weekend, and that made me think of it.

Willow never came back from the bad place, and opened/was ruling over (?) the Hellmouth. She'd put a spell on Buffy somehow, so she could never remember...having been in love? (My memory is a bit sketchy, I just remember what an awesome fic it was.) Anyway, Spike came back and saved her.

Anyone?

I'm terrible at this because I never remember titles/authors, but it could be either "The Ballad of Randy and Joan" (which is on All About Spike, although I can't remember who the author is) or, one in which Buffy has been on the Hellmouth for a very long time. Willow has cursed her so that she can't die, Spike returns, finds her, convinces her that she knows him and eventually she remembers. They find Willow and save the world somehow. I'm sorry, I can't remember title or author of that one, but I'm sure someone will. There's a very good chance it was on AAS also, though, so you might check the summaries of fics written by authors who do a lot of dark stuff.

Yes, yes! That was it! Not the Randy and Joan one (although that was a wonderful fic too), but the other one with Willow's curse and Buffy's not-remembering of Spike!

Thanks Moscow Watcher for posting this here - I didn't even know this existed. And thanks Slayme for getting me another step closer to this fic!

Oops, also: What is AAS?

All About Spike. Sorry, I'd referenced it earlier, so I thought you'd see it. *is dumb*

LOL You're welcome. I'm glad I could be helpful in some way. Usually all I can do is sit here bouncing up and down going "oh, oh! I know that one!" and totally unable to even point someone in the right direction. Enjoy - it's a good fic.

The second one sounds like Sacred Flame by Nocte. You can find it here http://www.fanfiction.net/u/133347/

Yep, that was the one I was trying to remember.

That's the one, Constance. [sighs happily]
