Sunnydale High Reunion by DeamonQueen
Blurb: It's been twenty years since Sunnydale collapsed. And nineteen years since Buffy had chosen a Shanshued Angel over Spike. Fifteen years since she married the said ex-vampire. Now, with her marriage falling apart, Buffy receives an invite to her high school's reunion, where she gets the surprise of her life when she sees that the vampire she's been missing is the hot date of her supposedly dead ex-cheerleader rival, Cordelia Chase.
Season/Episode: Post Chosen
Featured Characters: Buffy and Spike, along with all the Scooby gang, Angel and of course Cordelia.
Colour theme: Dark shades, either black, red or dark blue.
Additional Information: No preferences for the Font and text. I want a simple banner with images of Spike and Cordy posing together in one corner while on the other side we see Buffy and Angel posing together. Preferred if you can find a photo of them wearing formal attire while they are at it.

Ketchup and the Crocodile by yellowb
Blurb: After Buffy dies fighting Glory, Spike is uneasy enough to make sure Dawn ends up in Spain with Hank, where Spike watches over her.  When Buffy's then resurrected, she runs away to NYC ... where she slowly recovers from her PTSD ... with the help of a big deerhound who adopts her ... and Spike, who engineers her reunion with her sister.  Most of the story is written, so you can see the whole thing if you'd like, as well as deerhound pics.
Season/Episode: alternate season 6
Featured Characters: Buffy, a very large deerhound, Spike, and Dawn
Colour theme: up to you
Mood/Style: starts out a little angsty, with a happy ending. I have an idea of a distant silhouette of Buffy and a dog on the snowy Brooklyn Bridge at night, but ... that's just an idea, you can surprise me!

A Small Boat On the Ocean by sandy_s
Blurb: I’m responding to swifthorse’s challenge (http://dark-solace.org/elysian/modules/challenges/challenges.php?chalid=2089) and the story is about Spike and Buffy starting a family. They will be exploring avenues of having a child. This isn’t the actual summary. There will be reunions throughout the story, and Spike and Buffy eventually end up doing IVF. One of the reunions will be with the little embryo they put inside Buffy’s belly. I have four chapters written so far.
Here’s how it starts (unbetaed):
Who knew a Slayer could have a biological clock? Who knew a Slayer could live long enough to think about starting a family with someone she loves? Who ever thought a Slayer could even consider having a kid when she’s constantly fighting the forces of darkness or averting apocalypses? Certainly, the only Slayer I know who had a child didn’t exactly plan to have him.
I’ll tell you who never thought that the answer to the above questions would ever be Buffy Summers.
Me. Buffy Summers. Your mom. Well, soon to be your mom anyway if you stay in my belly a few more weeks.
Season/Episode: Post-NFA but not the comics
Featured Characters: Spike, Buffy, various original characters and some minor Scoobie appearances
Mood/Style: Buffy POV/1st person. Spuffy will be travelling. They start out living in New Orleans and will make a pit stop in Virginia before ending up in Denver.
Additional Information: I don’t really want baby photos/pictures in the art. But baby-related images are okay. If you wanted, you could use a picture of an embryo before transfer. Other than that, I'm open as far as style and everything! Thank you in advance...

A Better Man by Sunalso
Blurb: Post-Chosen Buffy isolates herself from the rest of the Scoobies. Fearing for her well being they build her a robotic companion: a Spikebot. When the real Spike learns this he goes to see her. Not wanting to let Buffy know he’s alive, since he's imagining he's "just checking" on her, he switches places with the bot. The depressed, lethargic Buffy he finds is not what he was expecting. He can’t leave her. Buffy thinks she’s going insane. She know the robot is just that, but when it starts to seem to come to life, she eventually gives into the delusion and is happy to enjoy her hallucinations. When an enemy threatens the peaceful western Montana town she lives near, will a broken Slayer and a Vampire in hiding be able to take it out?
Season/Episode: Post-series
Featured Characters: Buffy and Spike (and the Spike!bot to some extent)
Colour theme: I have no preference
Mood/Style: Slightly angstier than a lot of my fics: Buffy's depressed, grieving, and thinking she's going bonkers. Spike desperately wants to be a part of her life but thinks that she'd rather have the bot than him.
Additional Information: The setting is western Montana (around Dillon). I'd love to see that reflected somehow in the banner!

The Long and Winding Road by -Carrie-Ann-

This will take you to a link for an image mentioned in additional information.
Season/Episode: All Human fic
Featured Characters: Buffy, Spike, Joyce, Giles, Dawn, Hank
Colour theme: Artists choice
Mood/Style: Artists choice, it is angsty in places so its up to you if you would like to reflect that in the mood.
Additional Information: The reunion is to take place at this Fountain in Hyde Park at Midnight, see link in blurb. Its your choice whether you use it in the design. Also they met as toddlers and Mr. Gordo was Buffy's stuffed toy.

Your Girl by EllieRose101
Blurb: A rewrite of 'The Girl in Question' (Angel Season Five Episode) in which Spike approaches Buffy on the dancefloor while she's partying with the Immortal. He actually makes contact, she finds out he's back from the dead, and then they have to deal with everything that follows. 
Additional Information: Angel is in the fic, but I'm not sure if I want him on the cover. Maybe there could be a small photo of him off to the side, beside Spike who would be bigger. Buffy on the other side of the banner, seperated by text. Preferably a dark background. Maybe black with a disco light or two?

The Lady in Mourning by Hawa DL
Blurb: When Buffy jumped through the portal to save Dawn, there was no body to fall through the other side. She was just gone. Weeks of fruitless searching later, Spike decides it's finally time to go off in search of a dear friend of his, a spirit that has haunted him since his human days and gave him company and solace on hard, lonely nights. On nights when his peers would pass him over, or Angelus would be cruel, or Drusilla a handful and a half--on these nights a woman dressed in mourning clothes would appear to him with veil in place, and they would comfort each other. But it's been years since she last appeared to him, and it's high time he appeared to her for once. He couldn't save Buffy, but he just might be able to save his lady.

Dusk by Chrissel
Blurb: Based on following challenge: http://dark-solace.org/elysian/modules/challenges/challenges.php?chalid=2270
Additional Information: Spike and Buffy are established couple when they return to Sunnydale. Other characters could include Giles, Anya, Xander, Willow and Tara but not necessarily as continuing couples. In fact, I'm thinking Ganya and Tara will have left Willow.

A Spike Come to Judgment by DianaM
Blurb: After The Girl in Question, Spike is convinced Buffy will never chose him. When he is accidentally transported to a different dimension, it seems he has a second shot at happiness. There, he meets a Buffy who is still only a year into her slayerhood and untouched by the darkness his Buffy had suffered. And what's more, this Buffy is more than willing to give him not just a crumb but a whole cake. He has a chance to get everything he has ever dreamt of with the woman who owns his heart. So how come Spike decides to do the one thing he never thought he would: playing a matchmaker for Buffy and Angel?! And what will Spike's epiphany on the choices a true champion must face mean for his own happiness?
Season/Episode: Post-Series, AtSV S5, AU BtVS S2
Featured Characters: Fang Gang and Scoobies, Cordelia, Connor (peripheral characters), Angel, Spike, Buffy, Other!Angel, Other!Buffy, Other!Scoobies (all Others! Are exactly the same as canon ones just younger, pre-S2/Angelus).
Colour theme: I'd prefer muted colours, perhaps with the colour scheme going gradually from dark (in the middle) to lighter ones (towards left and right - see special requests), symbolizing Spike's character growth.
Mood/Style: more dramatic and angst, than light-hearted.
Additional Information: I actually have a fairly clear vision of the banner (but no artistic abilities whatsoever to realize it). I'd like images of Buffy and Angel (young, pre-S2 ones, looking happy and in love) to the left, and images of Buffy and Spike (older, S7 Buffy and post-soul Spike, looking tired and battleworn) to the right. Some simple background throughout or just in the middle (perhaps with the name of the fic on it). I know it's very specific but it works well with what I have in mind for this fic. This said, if you have any other ideas, I'd love to hear/see them! Thanks beforehand to anyone who adopts this!

Additional Information: Requested Images: An image of the scene from Dead Things where Buffy is remembering/dreaming of having Spike in handcuffs. All other imagery left up to the artist.

**TITLE PENDING... by angelic_amy
Blurb: The last thing Buffy feels like doing is attending a high school reunion—especially considering she and her friends barely made it out of there alive the first time. But when Willow ropes her in, she feels like she can’t say no. The last thing she expects is for a recently-chipped blond menace to crash the party, or for the feelings that suddenly overwhelm her when a certain spell kicks in…
Season/Episode: Season 4 – Something Blue
Featured Characters: Buffy, Spike, Willow, Harmony... it would be good if they were on the banner, obviously with Buffy and Spike as features characters. But FYI, Xander, Anya and Giles will also feature in the fic, and Jonathan will probably make an appearance. Undecided if Cordelia makes the trip back yet...
Colour theme: Artist's choice
Mood/Style: It's going to be fairly playful, but artist's choice

Who Says You Can't Go Home? by slaymesoftly
Blurb: Fred thinks Buffy has a right to know about Spike, who is just recovering from his ordeal with Dana. Robin Wood, who is there at Giles's request to look into what Angel is doing at WR&H thinks she does too and calls her just after Fred has sent her message. Buffy soon appears at WR&H with fire in her eye, and she and Spike (whose hands are still bandaged) settle what their relationship is. There is also a brief Robin and Spike reunion which goes a little better than might be expected.
