buffyversetop5My Top 5 Favourite Spike Het Pairings
Um, yeah. So I do tend to read mostly anyone who is paired with Spike. But in most cases that takes a lot of convincing or a really intriguing study into why Spike has chosen each particular character. All these stories qualify for that - and then some...
Item Title or Description: “Losing Eden”

bearfacedcheek
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Spike/Dawn
Link: http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=bearfacedcheek&keyword=spawn&filter=all
Why I chose this: Although I can appreciate schmoop in fic, what I particularly like is exploring the shades of grey. And this fic does that in spades. I was sucked in immediately from the opening sentence, beautifully atmospheric and poetic right to the very, twisted end.
Item Title or Description: “Sunday Girl”
Creator’s Name:deadsoul820
Rating: NC-17
Warning: BDSM, non-consensual sex, violence, bloodplay, language, f/f slash, inappropriate humor
Pairing: Spike/Sunday (also Spike/Dru; Drusilla/Sunday; Spike/Sunday/Dru)
Link: http://www.geocities.com/astraea111/SundayGirl.html
Why I chose this: By the time I'm old and grey, I will probably still be fangirling about this fic. Taking a character that appeared in one epsiode (Season 4's The Freshman)deadsoul820 creates a rich, intense, explicit, dark and immensely enjoyable back-history for the character. Most enjoyable are her interactions with Spike as he wavers in and out of those shades of grey.
Item Title or Description: “The Long and Winding Road” - WIP
Creator’s Name:ezagaaikwe
Rating: NC-17 (though not all chapters)
Pairing: Spike/Tara
Link: http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=ezagaaikwe&keyword=The+Long+And+Winding+Road&filter=all
Why I chose this: Immense in scope and range, this fic stands at forty-seven chapters and still going very strong.ezagaaikwe gives you Spike and Tara, time travel, historical romance, missions of hope and desperation plus wonderfully explored characterisations of Buffy, Giles et al, and not least of all a completely different take on Season 6 and 7. So much to enjoy.
Item Title or Description: “Sunshine”
Creator’s Name:euro_fics
Rating: M
Warning: Lots of exceedingly well-written foreplay
Pairing: Spike/Sunshine
Link: http://www.geocities.com/europanya/sunshine.html
Why I chose this: Remember the girl from the Peppermint Stick that, er, twirled about for Spike in AtS Season 5? Well this is the encounter between the two of them - hot, spicy and extremely well-written, this fic gives Spike hope in a period of darkness.
Item Title or Description: “Zwischenzug”
Creator’s Name:zyrya
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Spike/Sam
Link: http://220.244.124.18/fanfiction/zwischenzug.html
Why I chose this: This is Spike/Sam, as in the (former) Mrs Finn. I have an addage that an author can convince me of anything as long as it's well-written and believable. This fic is the essence of that addage.
