Sometimes, it's those little moments that make all the difference. An unabashedly schmoopy canon Season Five.

Buffy reflects on her relationship with Spike as he makes love to her. Ficlet

This is one of the first fics I ever wrote so it's NOT perfect in any way, but I still laugh my butt off when I read it. I wrote it when it was confirmed that James Marsters would be signing onto Buffy in season 4. She visits his house for the first time after he returns.

An AU glimpse at how the group dealt with Buffy's death that summer. Very Spuffy friendly, of course.

Goes off canon during Gone. The Trio builds a ray that is meant to cause amnesia and they test it out on Buffy and Spike. The actual effects lead Buffy and Spike to experience each other’s worlds in a whole new way. They’re not so much gone as… temporarily misplaced.

A One Shot. Set in the episode Dead Things in season six, Buffy comes home to after meeting Tara at the Doublemeat Palace to find a surprise waiting for her. Dedicated to mary_ksand, who gave me the idea to write this ficlet. :)

Spike reflects on his life, eighty years after Buffy has passed. This story happens at the end of Season 5. Buffy was never resurrected by Willow.

AU. Buffy was never called as a Slayer. On a summer road trip, she gets taken prisoner by Sunnydale's Master Vampire, Spike. Her emprisonment changes not only her life but flips Spike's world upside down. WARNING: Earlier chapters contain BDSM and sex that's on the verge of non-consentual.

Dark, angsty Spuffy post-Smashed from Buffy's POV.

The Slayer and her demon lover. She could smile at that now and she couldn't help but think that, god, they've come a long way. Warnings: References to the bathroom scene in Seeing Red.
