Buffy Dreams of Being Married in the Future .B/Spike

Hi,
I've been looking for this fic for years, and I was hoping someone could help me out.
I think it might take place in season 4? but I'm not too sure.. but I do remember the following info...
In the fic, Buffy falls asleep and dreams of a future where she is married, but she can't figure out who she is married to, despite clues of who her husband might be. At the end of the fic, she blows out candles on her birthday cake and finally realizes that she is married to Spike.

Thank you very much.

http://community.livejournal.com/seeking_spike/profile  Try here. Someone else was asking about that fic recently. If not on this forum, then that would have been where I saw it.

 Yeah, I too remember someone asking about it. I dont remember what it`s called, but I do think the writer was named something like "Tinkerbell" (+ numbers or something, you know what I mean).

The Crypt is a good place to try and find some of the older stories -
” Recent evolutionary models have demonstrated what politicians have long known: the best way to get people to collaborate and to think like a group is to identify an enemy and charge that “they” threaten “us.”

Hi,
Thanks for replying.
Actually it was me that was searching for the fic on seeking_spike. I don't have a livejournal account so ppl were nice enough to post the search on my behalf. I posted the search there like three times.
Nothing ever came of it and no one ever found it. :(
nmcil-Thanks for the tip about the crypt, I'm sure I've looked there before but I'll try and look again.
In the meantime, if someone knows and remembers this fic, that would be awesome.
Thanks-

Well, I remember the fic - but very vaguely. I think it's quite old. I have no clue about title or author, though. Sorry!

And if it's that old, it could be lost on VampKiss or Sinister Attraction.  It's sad that they appear to be gone.  Buffy and Spike Central lost quite a few older fics too when they were hacked.

I hate the fact that it could very well be a lost cause.

Does anyone have the wayback machine links for SA or VK?

Thanks.

I've heard people talk about the "wayback machine" before, but I'm not sure what it is.  Could you fill me in, please?

Sensei - I think this is the link to it. It's an net archive that manages to keep stuff that's gone from other places.  I think you need a title or url or something, though.  You could try searching for the old archive, rather than the actual fic and see what happens. I've never used it, but I know others do with great success.

Thanks for the link.
I'll try, but I'm not holding my breath for finding the fic.
It sucks cause like I said, I've been looking for years. :(

It wasn't on SA.

Does anyone else have any tips on where I can possibly find it?

Thanks.

I can't help with this fanfic but I thought I might ask about another fic.  I can't remember the author or the title despite my searching.  I think I even read it here on Bloodsheverse.  It is about a few past NFA and Buffy and Spike accidentally meet up in a tropical setting.  The story is in 4/6 month increments and Buffy and Spike meet up during these time periods.  It ends up w/ the two together living in England.  The biggest hint I guess would be that Buffy throws Spike a birthday party and FINALLY admits her love for him.  Sweet sweet fanfic and wonderfully written.
