Why I chose this: Because this series is an action epic. It goes AU after 'Destiny' but reads like something written for canon. The writing is excellent, the characterizations spot-on, and it's edge of your seat all the way. No pairing but you'll be too breathless to notice. The plot is the main character. This is a story.
Title: Canis Familiar
Sequel To: Re-Entry
Author:sockmonkeyhere
Rating: R
Status: Complete (and another sequel is in the works. Squeee!)
Why I chose this: Another series, taking place post-NFA. The pairing is Spike/Fred but that isn't the main focus. Oz and his nephew steal the scene in this compelling sequel. The clear, crisp writing and solid characterization make for gripping storytelling.
Title: Savage Beauty

Rating: PG13
Status: WIP
Why I chose this: Because it's hilarious. It's the only All Human I've ever enjoyed and it is totally audacious. The summary? Buffy is the Prime Minister of Iceland. Spike is a Jivaro head-hunter in the Amazon rain-forest. Believe it or not - it works!
Title: Four Friends
Sequel To: These are actually the latest in a series of many stories so I am just providing a link that takes you to all of them.

Status: Complete, but new short stories are added frequently.
Why I chose this: This is actually a series of short stories in a longer series all taking place Post-Chosen. The stories are ensemble pieces wth no pairing (and unfortunately, almost no Spike). The four friends are ghostly Tara, Dana, Buffybot, and an original character, Kara, who is a new slayer. The overall series deals with the adventures of the remaining Scoobies as they search out new slayers and rebuild a new Watcher's Council. The writing is lean, with a wry twist of humor. You can read these all in a chunk for a satisfying meal, or snack on one at a time.
Title: Finding The Way Home
Author:sandy_s
Rating: PG13
Status: WIP
Why I chose this:This is a post-Chosen Spuffy that ignores Angel S5. The story involves alternate universes and alternates Spikes, and Angels. How could you not love a story that has extra Spikes and Angels? The story is plot driven and the writing cosy and comfortable.
