Summary: She'd kicked his butt, taken the Gem and sent it off to Angel. Buffy thought she'd seen the last of Spike. Clearly, she’d been too optimistic. That he was in her house, in her room, waking her out of a sound sleep and asking for (okay, demanding) her help meant that something had to be majorly wrong. They weren't due for another apocalypse, but...why else would a vampire make a truce with the Slayer?

Summary: The  First wasn't stupid, it had to know that Spike would win against Wood in that garage.  Even if the fight wasn't fair.  Even with the trigger driving him mad.
So it stepped in.
Just a single moment of intervention - and everything is different. One tiny second of distraction, and Buffy's world ends.  She wasn't ready for him to be gone.

Starts with "Lies my Parents Told Me" and veers sharply into AU.

aka the conceit I needed to justify episode rewrites/stolen scenes for all my favorite almost-Spuffy bits. Buffy bounces from scene to scene, choosing Spike over and over and over. Non-linear but connected.

Summary: From a challenge by tempestt
When he was a wee laddie, Rupert Giles found himself in a bit o' trouble.  Come on, we all know 10 year-old Giles would've been a little hellion.  Spike, who's around because he's hunting the slayer Giles's grandmother is assigned to is impressed by Giles's swaggering bravado and helps him out.  In doing so he dubs Giles Lil' Ripper.  A much more fitting name than nancy boy Rupert.
So begins an on-and-off, life long friendship between the two...  When Spike shows up in School Hard Giles immediately recognizes Buffy's description so he sets up a meet.  After finding out why Spike is at the Hellmouth, Giles strikes a deal.  He'll help Spike heal Drusilla if Spike agrees to help his slayer for an indeterminate amount of time.  [Full challenge here.]

Summary:

Goes off-canon during The Harsh Light of Day. Sunnydale is devastated by the release of a prototype virus that was being developed by a branch of The Initiative. Now, half the population is 'infected', and the other half is living on borrowed time. A bite will turn you into one of them, and Buffy's got her mom and sister to think about. With the gem, Spike's immune and so it makes perfect sense to Buffy that he should help them get out of town. But this thing's already bigger than Sunnydale, and if Spike's their best chance of survival then it looks like he's along for the ride.
 

Introducing: A vampire who's been needed before, but never exactly wanted. And a girl struggling to understand the true nature of good and evil, whilst standing shoulder to shoulder with the Slayer of Slayers. (Inspired by Stephen King's The Stand, AMC's The Walking Dead and every zombie flick I've ever set eyes on).
 

Winner at the SunnyD Awards (Round 31) for Best Unfinished, Best Drama and Best Plot. Endless heartfelt thanks to everyone who voted!

Summary: There's a virus loose in Sunnydale, deadly to vampires and humans alike, and the whole town is on lockdown. Normally Buffy would welcome a little time away from it all - but did she have to be quarantined with Spike?!? Sparks fly and tempers flare, and as days turn to weeks and months, it's just a matter of time before something goes terribly, horribly wrong… Fortunately, what happens in quarantine stays in quarantine, right?

Summary: Enraged by Buffy's treatment of Spike in mid-season six, the goddess of love swoops in to offer succor to a vampire who has always loved too much and a lesson to a Slayer who scorned that love.
For a challenge by pfeifferpack:  I'd like a story where a goddess of love (pick your pantheon) watches Buffy turn her anger and violence upon Spike over and over and she becomes angered that Buffy doesn't value what is in front of her. Unconditional love is rare and Buffy did more than simply reject that love offered to her by Spike...  The goddess decided to have Buffy learn how rare a gift she is trashing in some way up to the writers imagination. You can have the goddess make herself and her intention known or just have Buffy experience whatever lesson will show her the value of Spike's love.  [Full challenge here.]

Summary: Befriending the local demon population after recognizing that humanity can be just as vile as some of the monsters she has slayed, Buffy decides that she'll be slaying and living according to her own rules. After all, she's already died once, and Blondie did say to "live fast 'cause it won't last," and Debbie Harry isn't even a slayer.
 
With Drusilla dusted due to a mob in Prague, Spike rolls into Sunnydale looking to bag his third Slayer or be bagged by her. He's not picky, he just doesn't want to go down without a fight. But what he expects (another one of the Council's chits with a stake up her arse and fighting skills somewhere between mediocre and good) and what he finds (a bat swinging, Ramones singing hellcat) are two entirely different things.

Summary:

A response to Loup Noir’s Challenge.
“It doesn’t matter. If Dawn dies, I’m done with it, I’m quitting.” What if quitting wasn’t all Buffy promised?
Despite Glory’s defeat, the portal was opened. The Scooby gang sacrifice Dawn to save the world and spare Buffy the pain of having to kill her own sister. Vanishing after the battle, Buffy and Spike go into self-imposed exile for 147 days. Bereft of family and duty, Buffy the Vampire Slayer ceases to exist and is transformed into Dusk, the Slayer of All. Spike remains by her side, dedicating himself eternally and unswervingly to her cause of vengeance.
On the 148th day, the end begins. An apocalypse unlike any other is brought to town, and this time, the Slayer fights for the dark. The Scooby gang quickly learn the deeper meaning of ‘Better the devil you know…”

Summary: As the Slayer, Buffy Summers has helped a lot of people in her twenty years.  But there's one person she's never gotten to help:  Buffy Summers.  When she leapt into the portal that Glory forced open, any chance to help any Buffy anywhere went with her.  Or did it?
Now the lead ambassador to the Powers that Be is playing "Let's Make a Deal" with her afterlife and the leaps have only just begun.  Where will she leap to next - and will it be to heaven?  Or will the next leap be her leap back home?  (With apologies to one of my favorite shows next to Buffy and Angel, "Quantum Leap.")

Instead of waking up in heaven, however, Buffy wakes to find herself at the feet of an old friend with an unimaginable offer: go back to 1999 with her memories intact, accompanied by the two candidates for the Shanshu prophecy, and fix it. But not everything is as easy as it seems, and even 4 years of foresight isn't enough to prepare them for the lurking evils waiting in the new reality they've built.

Summary: A Slayer who doesn’t feel love anymore meets a daywalker who believes he is unlovable.  The story begins in the gloomiest part of season six and gets lighter from there.
From a challenge by Mikkalenko:  Spike is a 'daywalker,' a variety of vampire so rare that the Council doesn't bother to mention them to their Slayers.  Daywalkers get all the perks of vampirism, but none of the drawbacks.  [Full challenge here.]  Very loosely based on the attributes of the comics character Blade.

Summary: She was the greatest of them. Perhaps even more so than the First Slayer, Sineya. The Watcher's Council's proudest champion, their crowning achievement. But it took from her everything: her innocence, her family, her identity. Her Calling became her slavery and her destiny, her shackles. And so for five long years, battle after battle, victory after victory, her legend and her hate grew until, finally, it was impossible for her to restrain.
And that was when he came to her. And so the Council's greatest warrior became their most terrifying foe, hunting her own kind.
Elizabeth 'Buffy' Summers, the Slayer of Slayers.

Summary: Buffy's new boss is an ass. At least that's the way her coworker describes him to her on her first day. And after the way their first official meeting goes, she's pretty quick to agree. He's arrogant, stubborn, an editorial genius and impossibly magnetic.
And she's met him once before.

Summary: "As a child, I used to dream of a man in black and white, spinning in the desert like a dervish, sword flashing in the moonlight as he danced with death." Dawn travels back in time to save the vampire who saved her life. It's not purely out of sentiment, though -- the fate of the world is at stake (again) and somehow Spike is at the center of events. If only he can stay on the right side of Buffy. A sequel to Angearia's "Fin Amour".

Summary: Starts off in Season 4 Episode 3 "Harsh Light of Day". Buffy is trying to balance college life with her Slayer responsibilities while still maintaining some sort of love life with an average Joe, but the world as she sees it ceases to exist once she's taken by the Initiative. Her name changes in a blur: Buffy, Hostile 17, and Eve, until she finally becomes his Dark Queen. She's a different Buffy; a different kind of Chosen One.

Currently on hiatus. (I'm sorry to say that I have put ADKoC on temporary hiatus. I haven't been in the right mind set to write the story with the tone I wish for it to portray. Please be patient. I do plan on returning to this one day soon and finishing it, but not until I can give it the attention it deserves. Thank you.)

His demon decides it wants to keep her, make her his. He nurses her back to health, but she has no idea what he has planned for her once she gets healthy enough.

Summary: Her life wasn’t supposed to be like this. She wasn’t supposed to be alive to worry about it. But she was—dealing with bills, being a mom to her sister, with Willow’s magic-addiction recovery, and Spike sexcapades on top of her sacred duty that—oh right—didn’t pay. At all. If she’d foreseen any of it she might have planned better.
 
So the question became… was getting zapped by a faulty ray gun (courtesy of a questionably misogynistic nerdy trio) and traveling back to October of 1998 to the exact moment she got back from LA after a summer of being a runaway a blessing in disguise? Was it possible there was no catch—that she could feasibly redo her life, make a better one for Dawn, and fix a few mistakes in the process?
 
In a strange twist of fate, Buffy finds herself zapped by The Trio’s ray gun, and, instead of being turned invisible, is shot back in time to the beginning of her return to Sunnydale in season three. With no way to get home. Home as she knew it is gone. Buffy finds herself with a rare opportunity: rewind her life and rewrite the story.
 
Additional Warnings: There will be Faith/Angel in this fic eventually. To avoid spoilers, I will not say to what degree.
