I have already recced five short Spuffy fics and this is will be my last entry for this year. It's a list of five multi-chaptered Spuffy fics. All of them have been published and completed in 2019. Hope you enjoy some of them!

Liebestod by Iamblichus

I am an absolute sucker for William/Buffy stories and this story is one of the best I've ever come across. I cannot praise it highly enough. It's incredibly well written, has a gripping plot and a spot-on voicing for the characters. Even more than that – the part that takes place in Victorian England is so very accurate and realistic described. For all die-hard Spuffies – yes, it also has Spike in it!

thenewbuzzwuzz dedicated an entire post in this year's Buffyversetop5 to rec fics in which Buffy ages. It is a wonderful and important theme and I want to rec another fic which happens to not be on the already existing list. This story is about one day in the domestic live of (old) Buffy and Spike and it is beautifully written.

A Slight Miscalculation by sandy_s
Season 3, 14k words
Spike doesn't leave Sunnydale at the end of Lovers Walk but is hired by the Mayor instead. This story does not only feature a very unusual Big Bad for a Spuffy fic – I don't remember having come across a story with The Mayor in it before - it also has an excellent voicing for the Richard Wilkins III.

Myth Taken by Twinkles
Post-series, 23k words
This fic is set in a future, about one hundred years after the Hellmouth collapsed. The narrator lives in New-Sunnydale and one day a couple moves into the house next door. I can't really say much more because it would give too much away but this is a very wonderful tale about the domestic life of Buffy and Spike post Chosen.

Did you ever wonder, why Spike and Buffy broke up off panel in the interlude between the comics season 11 and 12? This lovely and thrilling story explains it all and I promise season 12 will suddenly make sense!

Yep yep, I recced the sequel to Autumn's Advancing. Maybe the tone of "Stranger, Take My Helping Hand" is more to my personal taste, but Autumn's Advancing is good too! I'm glad it got a shoutout. ^^
