I'm looking for a 2 fic series. The first fic is a Buffy/Giles & Buffy/Angel story. Ethan has put a spell on Giles. He is basically inside Buffy's head. He is able to hear her thoughts and feel her emotions. Buffy finds out his is missing and that it is due to magic. She drives to LA to see Angel. When she gives Angel the note that she find at Giles' apartment Giles is then inside Angel's head. Angel tells Buffy how to break the spell. Giles basically gets to see how Angel and Buffy feel about each other. Giles decides that he wants to help Buffy fill the empty space in her heart by starting a romantic relationship with her.

The next fic Giles tells Buffy that he found out that Angel's soul is permanent. They go to LA to tell Angel. Buffy loves both of them. So they decide to both have a relationship with Buffy. The fic ends with them both having sex with Buffy.

I read a fic a while back that I can't find anywhere. Cordy travels back in time (I'm not sure from when- maybe the end of AtS season 3?) to season 2 of Buffy, and basically tries to give Angel a happy ending, even if it's with Buffy. Except it isn't. It's meant to be Angel/Cordelia, maybe with vague shades of Spuffy (though I see that everywhere, so maybe not). It wasn't finished when I read it.

Can anyone please give me a link, a title, any details...?

Also, does anyone know of fics in which Spike/Buffy is a secondary pairing that still gets lots of attention?

Thank you!
