The Girl with Flaxen Hair by unbridled_b

R, 9 chapters so far. After his mother's death William Pratt lives a quiet life alone. He suffers from consumption and knows that his days are numbered. One day he overdoses laudanum and sees a beautiful girl in his garden. Her clothes are unusual; her behavior is weird; her name is Buffy Summers. William is sure that she's just a figment of his imagination so he's relaxed and comfortable around her... Intriguing premise (the author assures that it's not an AU and all the BtVS events have happened), expertly written William's POV and great details of the Victorian age make this story a total winner. (I've already have a theory what has happened and why William hasn't been turned... )

Thought You Should Know by angearia

R. 36 chapters so far, alternate season 8. What started as a short Spuffy one-shot, turned into a sprawling epic and a multiple awards winner - alternate season 8 with thrilling action and powerful human drama, as Buffy struggles against enemies and comes to terms with her new mission. In 2010 Angearia has posted only one chapter (#36) - but, hopefully, as soon as season 8 is over, she'll get her inspiration back.

Sacrament by hollydb

NC-17, 8 chapters so far, alternate s 2-3. Sequel to Wicked. Buffy got turned and ended up with Spike. The Council sent the next Slayer, Kendra, after them. Buffy hates the idea of killing her sister Slayer, but the latter doesn't leave her a choice... Ingenious premise by the author of "Writing on the Wall" promises another epic adventure.

PG-13, 7 chapters so far. Post Dead Things. Willow accidentally spots Buffy with Spike. Buffy confesses about her relationship and promises to stop it. But it's a promise she can't keep.

After the Deluge by gillo
http://gillo.livejournal.com/tag/after%20the%20deluge
R, 9 chapters so far. Post-NFA, R. As Spike struggles in LA against newly-risen The First Evil, Buffy find out about him being alive. Familiar set-up leads to an intense, twisty story.

More excellent choices, there was a lot of good things written last year. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for including me. I'm still working my way through it and I'm hoping that #40's release (plus my starting school with a focus on writing) will get the wheels turning.

Yes, we're lucky - Buffyverse fanfiction seem unexhaustible.

I hope you'll get inspired again. I know how hard it is to rewrite an open canon, and I'm almost sure that as soon as the season is over, our hands will start itching to rewrite it :)

And - yay!school! I'm so happy for you! ♥

Intriguing premises, particularly the first one.

[moscow-watcher.livejournal.com]

Agree. Jossverse grants ficwriters endless possibilities - spells, time-travel, different timelines etc.

Thank you for including mine! More is on its way in the next few days as it happens. The festive season does get in the way of fic-writing, you know!
