looking for a fanfic

I've read a great AU spuffy fanfic a while ago, but can't remember the name or the author.  Everyone is human, Spike is a fireman, saves Buffy and she spends few days with him and his daughter, Dru was Spike's first wife and died a while back, I think from cancer.  Of course everything ends happily ever after :) 
If it rings any bells for anyone, I'll be very greatful

I think the fic you're looking for is "Touch The Fire" by Williams Girl. You can find it at Buffy & Spike Diaries.

I saw this summary on Seeking_spike and I would really like to read this fic, but no one has replied yet about the title or where to find it. Does anyone here recognize it, even a little bit?

This one, I think, took place in an AU season 4/5. I remember enough that Spike had moved into his crypt. Anyway, in the fic, he starts to act oddly and Buffy, looking for answers, goes to Giles. She discovers a secret that the Council has tried to keep from her (and all Slayers) about vampires, saying that as vamps age they have the ability to start gaining back their humanity and to become 'good'. Obviously, Buffy is horrified by this and that's all I can really remember.

You aren't by any chance talking about something that was done by Holly, are you?
You're description is kinda vague so all I can do is guess unless you remember something a little more detailed.

Look around at her fics and see if anything rings a bell. In some of her fics she talks about vampires who have redemptive qualities  being mated to slayers

Can someone recommend good Spuffy fics that have letters from Spike or Buffy either to each other or as letters to self or journal and diary enteries -
I love reading letters and just saw that film based on the play that James Marsters read from at one of his events - I really enjoyed the film and have a yearning to read some wonderful Spuffy letters or diary works.

Anyone know if "The Memory Box" was ever completed?

nmcil - A Letter from the Grave by Dampersandspoons, which you can find on her LJ and at Elysian Fields.

I read "The Memory Box" a short while ago and it was incomplete at that time, so unless it's been completed elsewhere, I'm going to say no, it's not.

Thanks Much Abby - I like this writer's work very much.  Too bad about "The Memory Box"  I even made an image for this story, too bad it will become part of the Permanent WIP's - I have totally given up reading any work that is not updated with six months. 

Any works here at this site?  would like to help promote BSV when possible
