Title: Changes
Author:tabaqui
Rating-Pairing: Spike/Xander, NC17
Why? Oh wow. Tabaqui creates this entire mythology for Xander's summer trip that is compelling, overwhelming, and wonderful. Kind of like what happens when he and Spike admit that they can fall for each other. And that's just the tippy tip of this amazing series that will take you to heights and depths and keep your attention across two series and myriad adventures. If you haven't read it, go, set aside a couple of days, and enjoy the yum.
Title: His Voice is like a Mars Bar; He's the light in her fridge; He Ate a Decorator Once
Author: DutchBuffy
Rating-Pairing: Spike/Faith, NC17
This pairing has two of my favorite Btvs characters put together. I clicked on the first of these stories because of the title. Who could resist that title? And then I kept reading because DutchBuffy has a bit of a lyrical turn of phrase, and because it’s pretty amazing what she does with these two. They’re both so wounded that it hurts to read at times, and as much as they help each other they have the potential to hurt each other too. Makes so much sense.
Warnings: Well, depending on what chapter you’re reading, there’s a great deal to warn about. There’s sex, there’s cheating, there’s torture, there’s weird possession. It sounds horrible doesn’t it? But there’s plenty of goodness in between, around, in the end, as well as some fantastic OC's
Title: Legions of True Hearts
Author:eurydice72
Rating-Pairing: Buffy/Spike(William), NC17
What can I say about Eurydice? She actually saved Spike for me. I’d gotten so tired of the painful and angst-ridden relationship Spike & Buffy had through Season 6 and 7 that I couldn’t stand the thought of reading the pairing. Until I read her fic. The only thing that will probably be a little freaky is how many chapters she writes – practically every one of her fics is close to book length. Do not start this at 2 am and expect to get sleep! Because you will want to finish it, not leave things hanging, and it’s going to take you time to be able to do that. I'd be suprised if there's a Spuffy shipper out there who hadn't read at least one of her fics.
Title: Career Change & Career Advancement
Author: twoladiesofquality
Rating-Pairing: Vamp!Giles/Spike (kinda), NC17
I never, ever, ever thought I'd go for Vamp!Giles. Until I did. And it was because of this fic - where Giles as a vampire is one of the most terrifying, yet really interesting, totally brilliant, and ... you end up rooting for him (or, at least, I did). Because he may be a vampire, but he's still Giles. Check it out, you'll see what I mean.
Title: Subtleties
Author: Eliade (Anna S)
Rating-Pairing: Spike/Xander
You know, this was on a list of Spander fics that everyone should have to read. And honestly? I completely understand why and agree with that reccer. The idea is completely absurd. It starts out as a kind of bunny conversation - what if Spike (chipped) went to NYC and sold his body instead of fighting demons? And what if Xander was the one sent after him? Eliade is one of the classic Spander writers, and her fics have shown up on these kind of lists time after time, but this is my absolute favorite of hers because somehow, in the thousands of words she writes, she creates something wonderful, kind of magical, that came out of this entirely twisted verse and is sublime at the same time.
