5 Classic Body Swap Fics

There are so many great body swap stories from our talented Buffyverse fic authors that it's hard to winnow a list down to just five! The following stories are not only classic, they are packed with Ideas and Concepts and stand up to (many) repeated readings. First, a couple of quickies:

Because It’s Wrong by [info]mahaliem (R for language) Also available here / here / here / here.
Spike & Buffy. S4. Spike runs into Buffy after Who Are You? and gives her a surprisingly stern talking to. One shot.
