And while that search progresses, here's another one I lost in that thumbdrive crash, that I just wanted to cite over on ATT.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer fic; Spike gets a Peggy Sue to the start of season 5 (Glory/Dawn) after (or as part of) getting his soul back. The part of it I remember clearest is Spike going into Buffy's mind when she goes catatonic after losing Dawn to Glory late in season 5, and in there teaming up with his soul (which manifests as William the Poet). At some point Spike quotes Dylan Thomas' "Do Not Go Gently" at William as evidence that there are modern poets who beat out his 19th-century favorites, and at the end of the journey into Buffy's mind one says something along the lines of, "We are leaving our lady waiting" to which the other replies, "We should never leave a lady waiting".
Does that ring any bells for anyone? It was a largish fic, I remember I had it stored as plain text in two or three files 100K or more in length each.
