The Clockwork Archives is an Angel/Spike fanfic site. It is the personal site of Spirit and hosted her fic, including The Clockwork Vampire series, as well as fics written by other authors.
The site was originally hosted by GeoCities[1] but in 2001 it moved to a new location where it closed down a few months later.[2] The closed down website told readers to check out eterniata*eros [unbound] "for some great fiction."[2]
It looks like the site ended up at o b s e s s e d much? // a site collective:
So there we were the other night, and Sam tells me she is taking down TCA. I cried and I begged and I pleaded, but to no avail. She said she was moving on to other avenues of fiction, and was ready to leave CV behind.And you have to applaud an author who is ready to do that. It upped my already considerable admiration for her by more points than I can tally. She's quite an amazing author, despite her desire to tell me that I'm biased. Maybe I am biased to liking her since she is my friend. But to me, "The Clockwork Vampire," flaws and all, is a piece of work that has left its mark on the fandom.
I'm not ready to let it go.
And much as she made a site in tribute to "Trilogy," I've made one in tribute to "The Clockwork Vampire."
Because, damn it, it needs to be here.

Description from Pointy Stakes:
The Clockwork Vampire: What if Spike had come to Angel, instead of the Scoobies? Pretty much the original take on this plot, and still the best. (Though "To Take You In" by Jessica, is almost as good.) Angel/Spike, with Wesley/Doyle thrown in for good measure, and the best damn characterizations on the face of the planet, of everyone who walks through the door of Angel Investigations. Including, eventually, Xander, for which I love SpiritSam all the more. The Archive also has links to Donna and Jessica's "Days of Our Unlives," which is racing CV neck and neck for funniest and hottest A/S on the planet, and several other great series and stories, including "The Deal" by Esmeralda, le superhot/sweet/touching X/S/A/D series. Whew. Have I babbled about Spirit enough here? No? Go and read.[3]
The site appears to have gone down again as of May 2016, according to the Wayback backups.
