Completed, PG-13. Post-NFA, Dawn, Buffy/Spike, Andrew, the Immortal, OC Slayer. Dawn and Andrew come up with what Andrew calls Mission: True Love - the plan to reunite Buffy and Spike. Penny_lane_42 writes perfect Dawn voice.

The Trouble with Harriet by missmurchison
http://community.livejournal.com/seasonal_spuffy/369092.html#cutid1
http://community.livejournal.com/seasonal_spuffy/369303.html#cutid1
WIP (2 chapters so far), PG, alternate (funnier) season 6. Buffy and Spike are to investigate a disappearance of a corpse from the Sunnydale morgue. Echoing famous thriller "The Trouble with Harry" by Alfred Hitchcock", author weaves a thrilling story, putting our intrepid heroes right in the middle of a complex, twisted intrigue.
When the Ice Has Melted by slaymesoftly
http://community.livejournal.com/seasonal_spuffy/376004.html#cutid1
Completed, PG-13, middle of season 5. A sequel to one-shot How Can Something So Cold Make Me So Hot?
http://www.spuffystuff.org/coolhot.htm
in which Buffy found to her surprise that Spike knew just how to cool down her sunburn. As a result, Riley gets too jealous, Buffy is too confused to deny her controversial emotions and some surprising revelations occur. Well-plotted
story offers great development of the vampire mythology and a somewhat ironic exploration of slayer's dilemmas in a post-Twilight cultural landscape. Buffy faces harsh dilemmas, and she copes admirably. Willow's attempts to adjust to the idea of Buffy dating Spike, Xander's taunting and snark, Giles rethinking his attitude towards vampires - they all sound real and convincing. (My only little gripe is Riley portrayal - too harsh to my taste).

WIP, Post-Chosen, PG-13. Buffy is sent back in time into her sixteen-year-old body. Will she make it right this time? The start is brisk, the voices sound true and, although there are many stories with a similar premise, Alexannah has an ambitious goal to rewrite all the seven seasons of BtVS.

PG, post-Chosen. A ficlet in pictures. Kallysten made a masterful stylization of season 8 comics (panel compositions, voiceovers, Buffy's flow of conscience) and have chosen screencaps with facial expressions that fit the text perfectly. A must.

To Be Born Again by angearia
http://community.livejournal.com/seasonal_spuffy/371287.html
PG, future!fic. Writer's summary: "Buffy has been brought back from the dead twice already, but the third time's the charm." Delightfully schmoopy.
Don't miss the sequel, His Girls
http://community.livejournal.com/seasonal_spuffy/371877.html

http://angearia.livejournal.com/75309.html#cutid1
PG-13, post-No Place Like Home. On the eve of Halloween, Buffy faces another inpending apocalypse - and Spike is the person who can help. That is, if she doesn't piss him off by her insults. Inventive, tight-plotted, well-researched and featuring incredible character voices - Spike, Buffy, Anya sound absolutely true to their canonical selves. This story perfectly captures Spuffy mood at the beginning of season 5.

In the Living Season by jen_nsync_landl

Post-The Gift, R. A string of drabbles on Spike's life after Buffy's death. Powerful, sad and uplifting.
Convergence by clawofcat
http://community.livejournal.com/seasonal_spuffy/367563.html
PG-13, season 7. Spike, tortured by The First, remembers and fantasizes... Flow-of-conscience piece delves into Spike's psyche and crystallizes his very essense - the poet, the sacred beast, the ultimate myth, the embodiment of a male duality - and the man behind these concepts.
Re-Popping the Cherry by gabrielleabelle
http://gabrielleabelle.livejournal.com/164599.html
One-shot, NC-17, post NFA. Spike asks Buffy what it would have been like if he'd been her first. "Deconstructed porn" as noted in comments, is deliciously naughty and funny. And - so totally Spuffy. A gem.
Costumes by gabrielleabelle
http://gabrielleabelle.livejournal.com/159456.html
PG, Season 5 on Halloween. Spike tries to convince himself that he trails after Buffy because "it's a predator thing". Fun!
Reality by Gabrielleabelle

Future!fic, PG. Making Thanksgiving dinner with kids underfoot is never easy.
Memento Mori by rahirah (Barb C)
http://rahirah.livejournal.com/415965.html
PG. This story takes place in the Barbverse and takes place a few weeks after POM, and a week or so before "The Devil and William Pratt." Spike and Buffy talk about Druzilla. Bittersweet.
Eat Cute by rahirah Barb C
http://rahirah.livejournal.com/417763.html

By the Book by rahirah (Barb C)
http://rahirah.livejournal.com/431951.html

Just Ask by rockstarpeach
http://rockstarpeach.livejournal.com/68589.html

In Peace by penny_lane_42
http://penny-lane-42.livejournal.com/93123.html#cutid1
One-shot, PG, during Spiral. Buffy, Spike, Dawn. When it comes to Buffy and Spike, even a moment of peace is full of heartbreaking insights. Wonderful insight into Buffy's state of mind.
Staking A Claim by yumimum
http://yumimum.livejournal.com/tag/staking+a+claim

Positive Exposure by Quinara
http://community.livejournal.com/seasonal_spuffy/352918.html#cutid1
Completed, R, post-NFA, comics-compatible. People who read BtVS and "Angel" comics, know that right now both show focus on media manipulating public opinion. Quinara explores the "shippy" aspect of celebrity culture in a series of convincing (yet surrealistic) situations, which eerily reflect fandom wanks and wars.
Went Down to the Cemetery, Looking for Love by spuffyduds
http://community.livejournal.com/seasonal_spuffy/353602.html
One-shot, R, post-NFA. Every Buffy and Spike's patrol ends the same way... Funny, fluffy glimpse at our two favorite blondes.
Slay Me by all_choseny
http://all-choseny.livejournal.com/68414.html
One-shot, R, post-series. "Their eyes locked, each of them knew what the other wanted. He wanted her dusted, and she wanted his blood..." (No, it's not what you think).
Letters --A Tale Of Spuffy by Captain America
http://www.buffyforums.net/forums/showthread.php?t=9138
G, post-Touched. Spike and Buffy's letters often end up in wrong hands...
Once by Garnigal
http://community.livejournal.com/seasonal_spuffy/360238.html#cutid1
PG, a glance at seasons 6-7. An inspired piece examines the perfect symmetry of Buffy and Spike's characters, mirroring them in each other.
This Side of Forever by Brutti_ma_buoni
http://community.livejournal.com/seasonal_spuffy/357479.html
PG-13, post-NFA. Buffy was angry at Spike when he appeared at her threshold, battered and bloodied after the battle. But Giles decided that they should go together for a dangerous mission in another dimension... Great plot in the best traditions of sci-fi genre and spot-on Buffy voice. ("Next time you die, call me after.") Brutti_ma_buoni comes up with a clever idea to use time as Spike and Buffy's ally in a contrast to the end of season 7 where time (or, rather, the lack of it) was their enemy. Sweet, smart and subtle story.
In My Dream, You Weren't Mine by amyxaphania
http://amyxaphania.livejournal.com/130522.html
R, post-NFA. When a demon sends Buffy into a dreamscape that brings to life her worst fears about Spike, her friends and her family, can she fight the nightmare to find reality?
Intriguing story in which the concept of parallel dimensions could be interpreted as a metaphor of fanficland where an intersection of shippers' worlds could be painful.
Night of St. Vigeous by ladyofthelog
http://community.livejournal.com/seasonal_spuffy/356904.html
PG-13, Spuffycentric remix of 5.02 "Real Me". Ladyofthelog perfectly conveys typically Spuffy mood circa fall, 2000 (whether it's an intentional stylization or her typical style). Funny, sparkling story, very true to the essense of Spuffy.
Prism by penny_lane_42
http://community.livejournal.com/seasonal_spuffy/356065.html
PG-13, Season 7, episodes "Bring on the Night" through "Chosen". Buffy and Spike as seen by Potentials and Faith.
Sharp, insightful character study; inventive use of POVs; great voices - Potentials have more interesting personalities in this fic than they have in canon. From Molly, who initially thinks that Spike must be a dog ("Buffy talks about Spike being the only one strong enough to protect everyone and Xander’s jibes about him attacking people combined with Dawn’s sarcastic comment about him needing to be put down made her really think it must have been a dog") to Faith who tries to convince Buffy that she shouldn't run away from her emotions ("I know you think anything that feels good is big-time evil. But that ain’t true."), it's a powerful and gripping story.
The Great Divide by redeem147
http://community.livejournal.com/seasonal_spuffy/357779.html
PG, post-NFA, comics-compliant. After Buffy's death she starts to appear in Spike's dreams, again and again. Was it a suicide or a murder? Redeem147 subtly conveys yhe ambivalence of the situation (is Buffy really there or it's just a figment of Spike's imagination?) Bittersweet fic, that works very effectively as a ghost story as well as a psychological drama, depending on your approach.
What He Wanted by pennydrdful
http://community.livejournal.com/seasonal_spuffy/361549.html
PG, early season 5. Spike gets his chip out. What’s a Slayer to do? "Angstastic" experience, as one of the reviewers puts it, the fic explores parallels between Buffy and Spike - joy of combat, disempowerment (Spike's chip, Buffy's Cruciamentum), death wish, hidden deep inside. Intense and powerful.
Retrograde by all_choseny
http://community.livejournal.com/seasonal_spuffy/363225.html
R, post-Hell Bells. "Spike stood silently after her and watched the distance between them grow." Dark, uncompromising character study.
The Glory and the Dream by green_maia
http://community.livejournal.com/seasonal_spuffy/362154.html
PG, Future!Verse. This story takes place in Green_Maya's Gifts-verse, where Spike was resurrected as a human after "Chosen" in 2003 and went back to the name William. In 2008 he and Buffy were reunited, by 2015 they have two children. "We have a traditional Victorian marriage,” Buffy liked to quip. “He's the wife.” Green_Maya is uncompromising in her exploration how RL tests and transforms a mythic couple. Reflective, sad, with ambiguous ending. The story is dark, but there are sparkles of love and hope in this darkness.
Feels Like Heaven by spikesdeb
http://community.livejournal.com/seasonal_spuffy/367821.html
PG, late season 7. Buffy and Spike finally stop pretending they don't notice each other... Lovely and poignant.
Fonder Distance by maryperk73703
http://community.livejournal.com/seasonal_spuffy/369415.html
PG-13, post-NFA. “I read that absence is to love as wind is to fire. It extinguishes the small and kindles the great.”
Riddled by thisficklemob
http://community.livejournal.com/seasonal_spuffy/373911.html
R, completed, post-Intervention. When Glory almost killed Spike, Buffy's attitude started to change. But has Spike changed enough to be accepted? In this story, full of emotion and unexpected plot twists, Buffy, Spike and Giles face interesting moral dilemmas and the writer conveys the complexity of the situation without cop-outs.

Seraph by snickfic
http://snickfic.livejournal.com/tag/longfic:+seraph

Xander-centric:
Longest. Day. Ever. by shadowscast
http://community.livejournal.com/fall_for_sx/198574.html
Completed, R, post-Him. Xander/Spike. The only way to stop the next doomsday device is to find the right combination on the magic lock. The only way to find it is to send somebody one day back in time after every failed attempt. The only way to check all the combinations is to use somebody who doesn't age - because it takes about 80 years to do it... Wildly inventive premise, tight plotting, a lot of spicy details and absolutely natural and convincing characters' reactions in absolutely impossible situations. Have you ever wondered how Groundhog Day would look from Andie MacDowell's POV? Here's a chance to find out.
Just Desserts by rahirah Barb C
http://rahirah.livejournal.com/418297.html

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5446939/1/Some_Enchanted_Evening
One-shot, PG, during All the Way. For Halloween, the Trio decided to repeat Ethan Rayne's trick with enchanted costumes. The result was quite unexpected... A brilliant and funny re-imagination of BtVS mythology; a smart culturological essay on the BtVS influences and roots; seemingly fluffy "what if" that reflects on notion of a hero and ponders how this is the line that separates heroes from villains. The idea behind Andrew's transformation is particularly inspired :)
Principal with a Post-It by deird1
http://deird1.livejournal.com/206341.html
One-shot, G, during Graduation part 2. BtVS/Dead Like Me crossover. A ficlet that'll make you feel for Principal Snyder.
