Where Pies Go When They Die byghostyouknow27
http://ghostyouknow27.livejournal.com/tag/where%20pies%20go%20when%20they%20die
R. Completed. ~ 17,500 words. Post-series. Spike has landed in a special Hell, courtesy of Wolfram & Hart. Buffy's rescue mission leads her... into a diner from Hell. Deliciously cracktastic tale in Lewis Carroll style with shadows of Tim Burton and Chris Nolan lurking at the corners. Inventive plot, powerful, well-crafted concept, great timing and sense of details - each of them works for a bigger plan. HeavenHell is very unusual - funny and creepy at the same time; Buffy's speech patterns ("What the pie?") as well as her reaction to SPN-skewed reality are priceless.

R. ~56,000 words. Post-Gift. Buffy throws herself off Glory's tower and wakes up in a mental hospital - where she has been the whole time she was "living" as the Slayer. She has to let go her imaginary world and to relearn to be a normal girl. Buffy-centric story with a touch of Spuffy. Author builds the mystery slowly and gradually, as Buffy's glimpses of the "other" reality become more and more concrete and palpable.
The Trouble with Harriet bymissmurchison
http://community.livejournal.com/seasonal_spuffy/410058.html
Completed, PG. ~13,000 words. 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 complex plot, putting our intrepid heroes right in the middle of a twisted intrigue. The story is funny, fast-moving, it features a lot of great lines and it highlights the idea that Buffy is a smart girl who doesn't realize it.

PG-13. ~10,000 words. Post-The Initiative. Spike finds a sanctuary chez Joyce. Clever, twisty rewrite of season 4 situations with quite unexpected finale. I don't want to say more because I don't want to spoil it - but, really, the final twist is inspired.

R. ~23,000 words. One hundred years after Chosen, Buffy lives in a world destroyed by the Dollhouse's technology, looking for something she can't let herself remember. Her life changes when she gets a box containing a certain incorporeal someone. Rich fantasy tale with clever, twisted plot and dark, unsettling ending.
