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

Following that kiss of gratitude, Buffy leaves a battered Spike in his crypt alone to recover from Glory’s torture, only to return moments later.

Set in Season 5, picking up immediately after “Intervention”. First in a trilogy of one-shots, the stories can be read on their own, but are meant as a series. The next one is “Cold Light of Day”, followed by “Enough”.

Beta'd by the wonderful SlayerDaniWho.

“You didn’t join the party," Buffy said. "I sent Anya down to tell you.”
    “She did.” Spike shrugged. “Not really the party animal these days.”
    “I’d noticed.” Buffy nodded at his chains.
New Year's Eve, season seven.

Buffy needs a date for New Years Eve. Spike volunteers. Nuff said?

Set more or less in the comics world and building from some encouraging (for Spuffy lovers) scenes between Buffy and Spike recently (hopes to be dashed any second, I’m sure), this doesn’t actually require you to read or like the comics to understand it.
 

Sequel to Another Life, third in the Rest of Our Lives series. Fourteen years after Another Life, the Scoobie gang is together again to celebrate the achievement of their next generation.

During the episode 'Wrecked', Buffy draped garlic all over her room and held a crucifix on her bed while she waited to see if Spike would come to her. Well, in this fic ... he did.

One shot fic based in the middle of Spike and Buffy's season six 'relationship'. Buffy decides it's time to give Spike a treat...

"There's nothing tender about the night." Buffy is not the slightest bit in love with easeful death.

Buffy is breaking down after Spike's death at the Hellmouth, and runs away to Toronto. When Spike comes back from the dead, can he and some of the Scooby gang find Buffy before The Immortal does? And what exactly is Buffy hiding...??

I think this is the very last schmoop fic to post here. I'll hold off on posting anything else while everyone recovers from the recent spammage. :) This is a short (schmoopy) season six that takes place before there has been kissage to spoil the growing friendship.

Spike appeared in Angel's office nineteen days after the collapse of the Hellmouth to find Buffy already in Europe. This is the story of what happened in between. Seven drabbles and one double drabble.

Takes place before "Crush." A game of Truth or Dare goes horribly wrong when Dawn dares Buffy to visit a certain vampire, doing something she normally never would, but the Slayer can't possibly pass up on a challenge.

Written for the Choose Your Author ficathon - my prompt called for a Something Blue fic in which Spike and Buffy go a little further than in canon.... smut was called for...

Set during *Once More with Feeling*    Spike finally got a few things off his chest and told Buffy to take a hike...  But, he didn't really mean it!
