Top 10 Spuffy fics I’ve read (Jan 2024)
20 20 24 Minutes Go by smellslikecorruption [PG]
Buffy and Spike and a birthday that goes unmentioned.
A Different Kind of Hell by OffYourBird [NC-17]
Jumping through Glory's tower portal, Buffy and Spike find themselves in a hell dimension they never expected. One that looks suspiciously like 1880's London. Will they find a way back home? Will the truth behind William the Bloody at last make itself known? Will Buffy ever stop butchering the Queen's English? Join them and find out. Starts off at the end of "The Gift."
A Waxy Gent Chuckled Over My Fab Jazzy Quips by violettathepiratequeen [PG-13]
The Scooby gang is sick and tired of Spike and Buffy being so on edge after the engagement spell, and they have a plan to restore peace to Giles' apartment.
A Wonderful Awful Idea by The Danish Bird [NC-17]
With nothing apocalyptic looming on the horizon and hoping to avoid a certain thick-headed commando, it seems like the perfect opportunity when Giles mentions a monster terrorising the good people of Lake Tahoe. What could be more merry than a Christmas trip to the mountains to investigate? The gang is all coming along, defanged vampire in tow. Buffy should totally be able to deal with the demon, ignore Spike and their recent “engagement,” enjoy some resort-town shopping, and be back with Mom on Christmas Eve. Right? What could possibly go wrong? Set in season 4 at the beginning of Doomed.
All Five by acekoomboom [PG]
Buffy goes through the stages of grief as she tries to move on from his death at the hellmouth.
The Forbidden Bone by bewildered [NC-17]
Buffy always knew Spike was hot. But now that he's their prisoner and she has the leisure to really look at him, she understands why. It's the cheekbones. She cannot resist. Dedicated to r/buffy and all the Very Intelligent Men there who have kindly mansplained that James Marsters's cheekbones are compelling, hypnotic mysteries of creation that we poor, weak women are powerless to resist, and the only reason anybody likes Spike as a character. I am so grateful that they have graciously pointed it out on so many occasions, and can only hope that someday my wanton ladyparts will stop forcing me to adore Spike. One of these days, I may find the strength to tear myself away from the Forbidden Bone's diabolical influence, but in the meantime, here is some cheekbone-inspired maybe-a-little-dubcon cracksmut. Enjoy!
Hills of Iowa by the_moonmoth [PG]
She felt bigger here, like the landscape. Like she could unfold everything she was and still find space for it all.
I Can Get Money by scratchmeout [NC-17]
Spike puts his past to good use to get money for Buffy. However, things become complicated when her ex shows up and targets Spike.
The Rub-Down by Grief Counseling [NC-17]
Buffy has one hell of a sore back. Spike has exceptional hands and massage oil. How can this be resolved? Sex, guys. It's resolved with sex. Let this post-Intervention, Season 5 porn adventure commence! With oil!
Winter Wonder Hell by Synefred [NC-17]
Shaken by the memories that flooded through him when his soul was returned, Angel took off into the night, leaving Buffy and an ever growing portal to a hell dimension behind him. With no other choice, Buffy stabbed Spike, condemning him to an eternity in Hell. The only problem was that as he was sucked in, he pulled Buffy in with him. Buffy always expected Hell to be full of fire and brimstone, but now she is trapped in a twilight realm, where the cold bites and the darkness waits. As she and Spike battle their new reality, and each other, the lingering question is, what will they do when the snow finally falls?
I Violently Dislike You by scratchmeout [NC-17]
All Buffy wants is to go to the job she loves without having to deal with the person she hates. Inspired by "The Hating Game".
I Violently Dislike You by @scratchmeout
"Look, you two are the worst things about this place. Everyone agrees, but I’m not supposed to say that. It’s against ‘the rules’. You make my job, and everyone else’s jobs, miserable. We’re all just trying to get by and you make everything uncomfortable, which makes you both incredibly selfish people and I don’t like people like that. No one wants to go to the breakroom or walk near your workstation. Do you know why we haven’t had another company retreat, even though we used to do them quarterly? You two. Do you want to know why the celebration dinner for the Vans campaign didn’t happen? Because the two of you nearly came to fisticuffs during the last company meal. You are an embarrassment and if it were up to me, neither of you would have jobs, but I’ve been told it isn’t up to me, so you still have one. Lord knows why. Now please get the hell out of my office and don’t fight anymore this week."
Top 10 Spuffy fics I’ve read (Oct 2023)
All the Way Alive by violettathepiratequeen [PG-13]
Rewrite of "All the Way." AKA an episode that was so RIPE with unfulfilled potential. Because this is the last one in S6 where everything was still all sweet and soft between them…
Blackout by bewildered [NC-17]
The lights have gone out in Los Angeles - and when they come back up, Buffy is there in front of Spike, saving the day and reawakening his hopes. When the unwinnable battle against the demon army is finally won, Spike has the opportunity to win back Buffy’s trust—and perhaps even her love—on an evil-fighting, life-sharing road trip across America. Can he tick all the boxes to get back in her good graces? Or will he end up alone in the dark again?
Cold Comfort by scratchmeout [NC-17]
Buffy’s burning up. Spike has a solution.
Come Back to Me by honeygirl51885 [NC-17]
One call can change everything. It can jump start your heart or it can send your whole world crashing down around you. A newly corporeal Spike musters up the courage to call Buffy. They slowly rebuild their relationship over the phone lines, him in California fighting alongside Angel and her in London establishing the new Slayer central. Phone calls and letters sustain the onetime lovers, while they fight against the forces of evil on two separate continents; all the while counting down the days until they can meet again in person. Things change when tragedy strikes and Buffy is gravely injured. Not willing to let another moment slip through his fingers, Spike sets off for England to care for his Slayer. Is he only there to offer support? Or, could their newly rekindled relationship finally be ready to break through the surface?
Husky by Holly [R]
The Finn family farm has a crappy harvest ahead, but Buffy's too busy with her new boyfriend to care. Who can blame her?
It's a Wonderful Spike by Lady Emma [R]
After Spike (William Pratt) wishes he had never been born, an angel (Cordelia Chase) is sent to earth to make Spike’s wish come true.
Keepsakes by violettathepiratequeen [PG-13]
Spike is fated to pop up at random moments in Buffy's life, with only a short window of time to guess what she most needs right then. And Buffy's just trying to figure out why she isn't more weirded out by it.
Startlingly Moral by acekoomboom [PG-13]
Buffy never told her mom she's the slayer, so she never left town to live as Anne in L.A. When Spike comes back to town with Drusilla in tow, there's a perfect excuse already sitting around to explain for her mom why her life is so strange… Buffy's in a band. Aka a truce fic, rock band style.
Tension by The Danish Bird [NC-17]
It's not even been a month since she buried her mom, her sister is a glowing ball of energy and now Glory knows about that too, and instead of staying to fight, like a proper Slayer should, she's running away in a Winnebago where all she can do is sit and wait for the fight to catch up to her anyway. No wonder Buffy is feeling so tense. But hey, if the world is ending anyway, maybe it's not so bad to agree to that massage Spike is offering. After all, it's just an innocent back rub, right? Just a short smutty oneshot set in the season 5 episode Spiral. It could even be almost canon-compliant… if you squint.
Voices in the Woods by honeygirl51885 [PG-13]
There’s something in the woods.

Drive by Holly [NC-17]
Freshly turned and very grumpy about it, Buffy finds herself in a weird place. One where her friends smell like food, her former mortal enemy smells like heaven, and the so-called love of her life has made it clear that killing her is on his to-do list. Throw in some overly zealous army guys and this is not Buffy's idea of a party. So she and Spike decide to hit the road at least long enough to figure out why neither of them can hit anything else. And since they're both single and free, well, Buffy wouldn't say no to a distraction from the never-ending laugh riot that is her life. And Spike can be very, very distracting. Good thing soulless vampires can't fall in love or she might be in trouble.

afterglow by MillennialCryBaby [NC-17]
Half of her is bathed in sunlight and all of him is in shadow. Smut with feelings.
Après by Ninereeds [NC-17] - this is an all-human story
Buffy Summers used to be a budding professional snowboarder. Some tragedies and some years later, she's living as far from the mountains and snow as she can get, and her life is at its most perfect. Then her sister, Dawn, gets a hare-brained idea to bring her back to the mountains. Spike Pratt used to be semi-pro on the snowboard. Some misfortunes and some years later, he's living as close to the mountains as he can get, trying to sustain himself as a snowboard instructor at a fancy Colorado ski resort, where the cost of living is just a little higher every year.

Sequel to Ashes to Ashes, set during BTVS episode “Anne” and some of “Dead Man’s Party.” Some dialogue throughout is from those episodes.
