Summary: Spike and Buffy's lives are turned upside down by an unexpected arrival from Spike's past. Or is it William's? This is a long fic and will eventually be Spuffy, but it has to work up to it. So please be patient and allow time for the plot to develop. Also please note this fic is Spike/Other for a while. Thank you to Oracle Holly for her beta-work up to chapter 24 and Always_jbj after that.  Season 6
