Summary
Post-Chosen, Buffy's struggling to adjust to the new status quo of her life: no longer the only Slayer, but still The Slayer. The one in charge. Propelled to investigate a strange blip on the magical radar, Buffy finds herself in Duluth, Minnesota and much more than she bargained for.
Meanwhile, Spike has come back from the brink himself, only to be entirely at loose ends. No purpose, no guiding light, he gets himself out of LA and into a mess of, well, not hot water, that's for certain.
AKA, Buffy and Spike reunite in my home state and they hate it.
Written for EF's 2026 Challenge Month, answering werehorse's challenge of Spuffy vs. YOUR favorite local cryptid, which I've had my eye on for months. This has been a lovely excuse to get Spuffy to Minnesota.

Summary
He knew evil – understood evil. Evil was a thing of humankind. The Good People were no such thing; they understood as little of morality as they did of airplane engineering, or taxes. In the stories they were cruel and generous by turns, took what they wanted and cast it aside uncaring, and the rules they obeyed were strange and unfathomable. Rules of home and hearth, of salt, blood and running water, of cold iron and ceremony.
Above all, though, they always kept their bargains.
--
A alternative S5, starting from just after Triangle. This story is about fairies - but definitely not the Tinkerbell kind. The kind that are much older, and bloodier, and have teeth.
Be careful what you wish for.

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck... by zinjadu
Fandoms: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)

Summary
... It's a duck.
There's just a tiny bit of magic floating around after Willow ends the Will be Done spell, and it turns the resident captive vampire into a duckling. And he's so adorably angry about it. Question is now... who's going to take care of duckling!Spike? Oh, it's Buffy, of course.
But Spike being a duck doesn't mean everything else goes away. He's got a new perspective, and over time, so does Buffy. Changes to Season 4 grow as time goes on.
I'm sure someone's written something like this before, but I got the idea and here we are. The plot also started to happen, and now I can't stop it.

A truce that lasts long enough looks like peace (feels like love) by zinjadu
Fandoms: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)
11 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
With a sick mother and a hell god after her, Buffy accepts another truce when Spike offers it. It starts small, but over time their truce builds until other things develop, things like trust, peace, and maybe even love.
OFF HIATUS! As of 12 June 2026, there is now new content. However, if you haven't been reading on Elysian Fields or Sunnydale After Dark, you'll want to check out Chapters 1 thru 5 for all the hard work my lovely beta jessicaroseish put into them (and the encouragement she gave me to fix all the issues she found). There's also a new final section of Chapter 5 that wasn't there in the original posting.
Thank you to everyone who has been waiting patiently for this one to come back. We've got a buffer of several chapters, and posting will be monthly to prevent author and beta burn out. Jess works harder than I do, I think, and we shall not overtax her.

Summary
I should’ve gone for the Porsche I was eyeing off. Just enough space for you, me, and big sis…
Instead of the Winnebago, Buffy agrees to the Porsche, but it turns out the road trip is just the start of the adventure. Confronted with living in close quarters and having to adjust to a different dynamic, Buffy finds herself coming to terms with the changes Spike is attempting to make in himself. Meanwhile, Spike is struggling with those changes, but knows he can't stop loving her. All the while, there's still a Hell God out there, and they'd both die to protect Dawn.
Both Buffy and Spike know this won't end well, they just have no idea what that will look like.

wouldn't it be nice? (in the kind of world where we belonged) by SummerFrost

Summary
Spike is still beneath her, so hard he's vibrating, and a second ago she was living in this amazing, perfect, fresh piece of Dubble Bubble bubblegum world. A second ago, she loved him.
Or: The thing about Willow's will-be-done spell is that, yeah, obviously it sucks that it happened with Spike. But now that all those totally fake lovey-dovey feelings are gone, Buffy is starting to worry that she'll never get them back—with anyone. Too bad the only person who might understand is her mortal enemy.

Summary
Here's the deal: Buffy's got no idea how to beat Glory, or how they're gonna book it across the country in a moldy RV without anyone killing each other, especially now that someone broke one of the beds—and the thought of going home again kinda makes her wanna cry.
The one thing she knows is that Spike would follow her anywhere, even like this.
