Anticipation by 2writers4spike Rated: NC-17 Liked [Reviews - 120]
Summary: Having no idea how it happened, Spike finds himself back in 1977, reeling from a newly acquired soul and more guilt than most could handle. After dodging Drusilla, his main focus is getting back to his own time and back to Buffy in Sunnydale so that he can atone for all he's done. That is, until he sees the newly born slayer in 1981 and goes off in a new direction. Can he stop the events that brought misery to Buffy's life, or will he be forced to watch destiny destroy the woman he loves all over again? 2writers4spike is the penname used for collaborations between dawnofme and mabel marsters

Prize Fighters by Behind Blue Eyes Rated: NC-17 Liked [Reviews - 167]
Summary: Since Spike was seen in LA a few months prior, Wolfram and Hart has taken an interest in the “Slayer of Slayers.” With their knowledge of his recapture by the Initiative, negotiations began. Once Buffy discovered the commandos and The Initiative, she was shown their inner-workings. Based on trust, she joined forces, or so she thought. With Buffy and Spike’s notoriety, Wolfram and Hart saw a lucrative opportunity. Utilizing their skills and ingrained hatred for one another, to showcase them in an underground demon fight club in Los Angeles, where the rich get richer, and only the strongest survive. Now that the ultimate match has now been set --- Vampire against Slayer, how will a recently un-chipped Spike and Buffy react when they are thrust into the world of ‘The Ring’?

Summary: This idea came from the “looking for a fic” section. Westwingwolf asked if there were any fics where Angel actually left in surprise and returned to find Spuffy. I felt that that was a GREAT story idea, and don’t remember reading any fics like that out there, so I thought I’d give it a shot. Here is my take on what SHOULD have happened

Moving On by velvet cat Rated: AO-AdultsOnly Liked [Reviews - 64]
Summary: What if Spike didn't go back to L.A. at the end of the Angel episode 'The Girl in Question'? Slightly different from my usual AU, in that Spike and Buffy won't be together for a while but this fic WILL tie in with my others.
(Don't worry, though, you don't HAVE to read it to 'get' the others) Some of the warnings refer to later chapters but I thought I'd better put them in now, just to be safe.
