shakatany"Broken" by Kayla (http://www.geocities.com/btvsslash/kayla.html) is another Spander h/c fic that was among the earliest I read. It goes AU around "A New Man" as Spike finds Xander after he's been abused by his father, takes him to a clinic and informs the staff that he's claimed Xander becoming his nursevamp afterwards. After another attack by his father Spike removes Xander and takes him away. Eventually they run into Oz and they end up rooming together. Unfortunately Buffy misunderstands and thinking that the chip is out and that Spike has turned Xander goes hunting for him. Guess who prevails? There's angst of course but it's leavened with humor and some great OCs like Mel and Molly. It does say Finit though I think it's rather an abrupt ending and I can see where there could be more though I doubt that will ever happen so I enjoy what I have *secretly grumbles*
At her site http://www.geocities.com/kaylafic/stories/buffy/, Kayla writes that she's revising it but she hasn't gotten further than Parts 1 & 2 (out of 4) in over a year. The unrevised edition is at BTVSslash for the time being though that site hasn't been updated since 11/24/03 and I can't get any information about it either--grr argh--I so dislike the ephemerality of things on the web and of course authors who abandon their fics without warning.
