Buffy is a dancer (in LA, I think). Spike came to live with Giles (who is his uncle) after he got out of jail in England. Joyce and Rupert co-own a shop called Rupert's Rarest Remarkables. If you remember this fic, please let me know! :)

Dampers is awesome. She has a couple WIPs more to the back burner right now. The current story is At Your Service, which is SO good.

I should be updating Closer and Closer very soon.  I started a new story, as Guest mentioned, that I just started posting here today.  It took up all of my brain power! :D  Which isn't very much, actually.  But Closer and Closer should be due for another update soon.  So glad you like the stories!  <3 <3

Just wanted to add my "love your work" -

If you ever need a banner, or would like to try working with me on one for your stories, keep me in mind - I love making banners.

Hope someone can help - 

This is a very early Fan Fic - it has been a very long time since I read it.  It involves Buffy and Xander and Spike - the premise being that Buffy & Xander, along with Spike, get thrown back in time and B & X get to learn first hand the life the Spike lived and they all emerge from their time travel experience with very different understanding of his life and his character and learn some very good life lessons for themselves as well. 

I really enjoyed this story and it has always stayed with me - but I was just starting out as the FF reader and did not know enough to make a file or any kind of notation for future reference.

nmcil, I never turn down fan art or banners!  You're very kind to offer.  I have a link at the top of my livejournal with all the banners that lovely people have made for me for various fics.  If you ever get inspired to make me one, it'll definitely be posted there for all to see.  I don't always post banners with chapter updates, mostly because I'm impatient and often forgetful, but I always feature them at least once and then archive them on my fan art/banner link.  I am verbose. :D

nmcil-
I think the fic you were looking for might be The Lucky Ones by Slade.  It can be found at http://www.oocities.com/inamorati_sb/fanfics/luckyones.html

Mary thank you so much for the link -  I sure hope this is the one I am looking for - if now, it will be a new story to read - thanks again.

Thank You So Much -  wonderful to see that these efforts were made for the former GeoCities Sites.  I have not seen this archive site before.  Great to see Innamorati (sp?) again, and yes this is the story I was looking for - one of the first works I read when I came to the FF Buffyverse fandom.

While this is not for The Way Back Machine, it would be good to post the link with explanation that his is an additional archive site -

Wow, nmcil, that sounds like an awesome story.  I enjoy fics that focus on Buffy, Xander and Spike -my favorite characters.

It is a very good story - and I think you will like Xander in this one - It's good to have Xander not fall into an emphasis of his worst traits.   Unfortunately, not all the site has been archived -
