The funeral had been in the afternoon, he’d expected everyone would have gone home but there was someone in the cemetery tonight. It was Buffy. Buffy and Angel, the grand torturer himself, flaunting their great and tragic love beneath the midnight sky. Spike comes across the two of them the night of Joyce's funeral. He's unsure how he feels about it... and can't decide what he means to do.

Listening to Spike as he confessed raw moment after moment of pure emotion, as he basked in the hollow comfort of a false love, made Buffy’s cheeks flush with something other than anger. It was horribly erotic. Buffy discovers the lover robot has recordings of its time with Spike. Now that she really knows how he feels... what exactly is she going to do about it? (Winner, Sunnydale Memorial Awards round 32, Best Angst Spuffy, Best Characterization Male: Spike.)

Spike has a chance to show Buffy his sincere admiration without creepy stalkerness. Set just after Intervention, before Tough Love.

For anyone who has ever wondered where Spike got that camper they ran from Glory with in Spiral, or for that matter, the shotgun he had in Fool for Love. Set after Family.

Two teenage girls sneak out of the house after midnight to meet a vampire. That was then. This is now. Set between seasons five and six.

"Angel used to be my world," Buffy told Spike. "He turned me inside out, and when he left me, I felt like I was dying. I thought... if anything could make me feel alive, he could." Buffy tells Spike about her trip to see Angel at the end of Flooded. Takes place at the beginning of Life Serial.

“I played a stupid game with you last night," Buffy said. "I know I did. And I want to know why you didn’t try to do... what I think you probably could have done with me.” Buffy speaks to Spike after her drunken evening in the episode Life Serial.

Buffy is suffering with a longing for death in her new life, when circumstances drop a young child into her lap, clinging to life while tortured by death. With Spike as her only possible ally, Buffy must face three days of life, death, and consequences, with everything mirrored in the eyes of one complete innocent, and one brutal killer. Seven chapters, complete at 17,000 words. Inspired by a challenge from Beautiful_Tyrant77 on Elysian Fields.

“Wordlessly she reached for him, like a child reaches in the darkness for comforting arms, desperate for something, anything, to take this terror away.” My version of the evening at the Bronze, at the end of Tabula Rasa.

Buffy and Spike remember some of what happened between them in the abandoned house, each in their different ways. 3,000 word two parter.

“I’ve got a heart under all this dead flesh, you know,” he said. “I get lonely. I like friendship, a cuddle in the corner, I’ve enough human in me for that. That ever occur to you?” Set in season six.

“I only told you I was a poet to prove to you how different it is, being made a vampire. I was weak and human and pathetic,” he said with disgust. “I’m a totally different creature now.”
    Buffy looked up at him. “So why keep the poem?”
Buffy catches Spike writing down the song he'd sung in "Once More With Feeling."

“How’d you know I liked wine spritzers?” Buffy asked.
    “What do you mean? You told me.”
    “Since when do we discuss wines?”
    He rolled closer and gazed at her, amused. “We planned a whole wedding together, love. Remember?" Memories of a spell bring on a conversation, which could make their time together better, or worse. Season six.

Angel treated me like a fragile doll. Parker played the innocent, saying it was my choice. Riley was real, and human, and we loved to touch each other. None of them were Spike.

Spike's weekly to do list.

Probably set during season six, during his affair with Buffy. A gift for the number of fans who have told me they'd read a bloody grocery list, if I posted one.
