Damn. Sounds like you're getting as little sleep as I am. That can't be good.
I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. And if you actually read all of this that fast then I doubly apologize -- it just didn't seem likely but I get it now. Forget I said anything. As long as the need is real and the requests are genuine then it's none of my business AT ALL what you request. I'm very glad to help find stuff if I can and please ask away all you want. Sorry to hear your life is all in crisis right now, that really sucks. I've found reading is an excellent escape for me as well. Right now I've been up all night reading
Long Time Gone by bitterness, which I highly recommend. Well written, ridiculously long (
love it), and a 'baby fic' as well. All Human baby fic, but at least it meets half of this thread's category requirements, and is the first actual rec so far so at least there's that.
Long Time Gone By bitternesshttp://oxrosesthornxo.angelfire.com/longtimegone/longtimegone.htmlhttp://bitternessfic.livejournal.com/Summary: AU all-human. When Buffy and Spike were in high school, everything was nearly perfect for them-- until she mysteriously disappeared. Now, five years later, Buffy's returned for her mother's funeral, and to take over caring for her sister, Dawn. Can Dawn and Spike ever forgive her for running away? Especially when she won't tell them why? As for canon-ish baby fics, one I read recently and loved is post-Chosen:
Strangers by sosa lolahttp://www.bloodshedverse.com/stories.php?go=chapters&no=11582Summary: Grief pushes Buffy to do something really stupid. Now she has to deal with the consequences. Things get more complicated when she discovers that Spike is no longer dead. There is Buffy/other in it and the baby isn't Spike's, but it is really spuffy ultimately and also
totally worth it. IMO.
I'll try to think of others.
