Author: eliade
Title: Emerging
Fandom: BtVS/AtS
Rating: PG

Pairing/Characters: Spike/Xander
Setting: Post-Not Fade Away
A gentle beginning to a Spander relationship. Great Xander voice. The last few paragraphs - where dancetomato described Xander as showing vulnerable courage - will slay you.

Author: anaross
Title: Nevertime
Fandom: BtVS/AtS
Rating: R
Length: 3 chapters (complete)
Pairing/Characters: Spike/Illyria, Spike/Buffy, Angel, Dawn, Giles, Andrew
Setting: Post-Not Fade Away
A/N: More schmoop. Another variation on the Spike Returns and Buffy Responds, which is obviously an obsession with me. This is Spuffy eventually, but Spike in the beginning has given up the whole celibacy-martyr thing, which, you know, never got him anywhere anyway. A jealous Buffy is an attentive Buffy.

Suddenly there are chairs and rendezvous, training and plans. What does home mean to them both, in the middle of a war front, especially given that it seems unlikely they can win?

Fandom: BtVS/AtS
Rating: R
Length: Multi-chaptered (WIP)
Characters: Spike, Angel, Giles, Dawn, Clem
Setting: AU after Chosen
Summary: Well, I'm not going to say what the pairing ends up being. It's long. It centers on Spike. He has friends. He has lovers. He gets around. So...there's Spike and Dawn friendship. Spike and Giles sort of too. Even Spike and Xander friendship. Spike and Buffy...it's not Spuffy, and yet they love each other, sure. Angel is...complex. Who the heck knows about Angel? He can be so sweet, and so mean. But this is really about Spike, and his life after Chosen.

Setting: Post-Not Fade Away
Summary: Oz is back, and he needs the Fang Gang's help. Sequel to Reentry.

01:05 pm - Reentry
Author: sockmonkeyhere
Title: Reentry
Fandom: BtVS/AtS
Rating: R
Length: Multi-chaptered (complete)
Pairing/Characters: Spike/Fred, Illyria, Angel, Gunn, OCs

This fic has some fantastic OCs - Thu, a slayer, is particuarly delightful.
01:01 pm - A Stone’s Throw From Yesterday
Author: eurydice72
Title: A Stone’s Throw From Yesterday
Fandom: BtVS/AtS
Rating: Relatively mild
Length: Multi-chaptered (complete)
Pairing/Characters: Spike/Buffy, Xander, Willow, Giles, Dawn, OCs
Setting: Post-Chosen
Summary: Fall, 2006. The Sunnydale Hellmouth has been destroyed for over three years, and the Scooby gang has scattered to the four corners of the globe, continuing their fight against the dark evils of the world. In the Egyptian desert, a single man hears a tortured plea for help. It’s just a shame he doesn’t recognize his own voice…
A/N: Forget about Spike going to AtS for Season 5. For the sake of this story, Spike died in the Hellmouth, saving the world, and never showed up in LA. Try and imagine Season 5 playing out without Spike, add a couple of years to that, and this is where the story begins.
12:58 pm - Shards
Author: euro_fics
Title: Shards: A Series
Fandom: BtVS/AtS
Rating: NC-17.
Length: Series of stand-alone stories
Pairing/Characters: Spike/Buffy, various others
Setting: Various
Summary: A series of stories will unfold as an older, wiser, Buffy discovers the many joys and sorrows of inter dimensional travel through time and variation, each with a Spike in it: good, bad but never ugly. Told post-Chosen--Spike is dust, but in other realities he's very much undead.

05:08 pm - Cousin Jean
Alas, there has been a monstrous kerfuffle and cousinjean has left both LJ and the Buffyverse fandom. Cousin Jean was one of the first fic authors I discovered and still one of my favourites. Some of her stories are still archived at All About Spike and all are well worth reading. My particular favourites are Future Imperfect, Perfect World, and And Miles To Go. The Butterfly Effect is one of her most well-known fics and deservedly so. However, it was archived only at her own site which seems to have been taken down. Bummer.

Summary: A decade after closing the Hellmouth and doing time in Hell, Spike is living alone in San Francisco when he encounters Buffy unexpectedly.

11:41 am - The Other Side of the Tracks
Author: frimfram
Title: The Other Side of the Tracks
Fandom: BtVS/AtS
Rating: Adult
Length: Multi-chaptered (WIP)
Pairing/Characters: Spike/Dru, Angelus/Darla, Cecily, Arthur Conan Doyle, OCs
Setting: Pre-series
Summary: Arthur Conan Doyle created the world’s most famous detective: shrewd, brave, unerringly insightful, and even impervious to sunlight. Why? Because, in 1880, he spent several months in London, and accidentally encountered a world of evil, excitement, and lots of other interesting things which never troubled the official police. Specifically, he came across the case of a distant acquaintance, an aspiring poet who had disappeared into the night after a terribly disappointing party. You’ve heard a little about him. He made quite an impression on Arthur too.
Arthur Conan Doyle! And Spike! ::glee::

Author: booster17
Title: Sleeper
Fandom: BtVS/AtS.
Rating: 15
Length: One-shot
Pairing/Characters: Xander/Faith
Setting: About six years after BtVS S7.
Summary: Xander Harris never thought he'd end up in a place like this, and certainly not with Faith. When the past comes crashing back into his life, what future will he have left?
An interesting look at where Xander wound up six years after Chosen. Would be great as a first chapter to a longer piece, but also works well as a stand-alone.
