This search is posted over on Seeking Spike by pinchofginger and has still not been found. Both of these stories sound like they would be an interesting read, do they sound familiar to anyone?
I only remember a little about the two fics I am searching for, but I hope someone can help me regardless of my faulty memory.
One of the fics I am looking for is a Spike/Xander slash story where Xander helped design and build an apartment complex. He was a rather "strong" character in the story, a dom to Spikes sub, in a way. He had kept his apartment and funds a secret, because he wanted to be able to take proper care of his "mate" and thus provide Spike with home and safety. I think Xander was affected a bit by the hyena. Angel shows up at the apartment at one point and threatens either Xander or Spike - I think Xander chained him up and left him in the bathtub or something to show him what Spike had gone through (not sure)
The other fic is also a Xander/Spike and all I remember is that Xander worked with wood - made furniture and dollhouses and the like. He worked for an elderly couple, who turns out to be demons (nice ones!)
Thanks for any help in advance.
I'm going to *attempt* a cut since this got long. If it doesn't work, my apologies and I'll try to fix it - tomorrow. It's 3:10AM here and I've been at this for over two hours. I'm going to bed.
eta: apparently cut doesn't work in comments. sorry!

this is the Spike/Xander slash story where Xander helped design and build an apartment complex – it also has the bit with Angel. There is an unfinished sequel called Want that afaik, hasn’t been updated since 2008 and the website I found it on is gone.

Bonus: if you like the stories you asked for, you’ll probably like these as well. These stories have a strong Xander and a more caring Spike. Sorry that I don’t have working urls for them. With the title/descriptions, maybe someone else will know a site?
Twilight Time By Shadow
Xander: Carefree donut boy. Spike: Uncaring black sheep of the Scoobies. A chance meeting in one of Sunnydale's cemeteries gives them a glimpse behind the masks they wear, and romance is in the air . . . but a new dark is rising in Sunnydale, and Spike and Xander find themselves caught a web of prophecy, danger, secrets, love, and death, where friends can become enemies and enemies can become saviors, nothing is ever quite what it seems, and love may be their only weapon.
Note: URL I had is gone, but I found this info in my copy of the story:
A longer, expanded version of this story is available in zine form from Requiem Publications: http://requiem.ravenshadow.net/buf.htm [there’s a e-copy available for download]
