Spike/Other

I'm interested in stories (likely post-chosen) where Spike/Other is a significant component, of course, it is still Buffy he loves above all else...
And spuffy could either end up together or not, but I want them (or maybe I'm referring more to myself as the reader) to earn that reconciliation. I don't want it to be easy for either of us.
; )

Something along the lines of that classic of classics, Anaross' "My Life Closed Twice" and TheBear's "Prophecy and Warmth" (which I'm reading through a rec on this thread, thanks ever so much)

Thanks y'all...

So we're talking canon or AR here, right? Not all human fics....

Okay, this isn't Spike/other really, but it is Spike moved on in a big way. It also happens to be a story I am very much in love with but is still in progress. It is

Influence of Demons by gabrielleabelle

http://spikeluver.com/SpuffyRealm/viewstory.php?sid=33308

Summary: Goes AU after S5's Checkpoint. Five years ago, Buffy and Spike fell into a portal to a dimension ruled by demons. Finally, reunited, their goal is to get back home. However, the years in this dimension have changed them. Spike's long isolation keeps him distant, and Buffy's enforced life at a brothel has caused her to forget the Slayer she used to be. Somehow, they'll have to find themselves again to defeat a powerful enemy and make it home.

Is this close enough to the request? Or do you need an actual 'other' to be involved too? Those are harder to find. As I'm sure you already know.

Okay, this one is Spike/Tara closeness but ends up as spuffy.

Summary: Going rapidly AU during the events of Entropy in BtVS S6, Spike makes a couple of wishes that will change everything. What is Buffy going to do when presented with a very different Spike—who doesn't feel quite the same way about her anymore?

Ooooh! Spike's Girl by Herself

"That vamp in the bathroom?" Buffy says. "She was with you?" What happens when worlds collide. Set post-NFA, spoilers for all of BtVS and AtS. NC-17.

Angsty goodness!

Possibly Brave New World by JamesMFan. But it is a WIP....

In "Get it Done" Buffy entered a portal to get information. Now, when she leaves it, she finds everything has changed; including her friends, her family and her world.

Smac--good question...I was thinking canon...but you know what, I guess any, if it translates properly but the Other in most AH fics is usually Dru or Cecily...
OMG..."Spike's girl" by herself, I forgot about that, don't think I finished that at all...thanks kamw30

I'll check out all your other recs...thanksies...keep em coming...I don't mind WIPs....and love smac's suggestion of spike moving on in a big way in lieu of a Spike/other, yeah love those fics where he absolutely tries to resist buffy in futility...
which calls to mind...
what is that fic where spike finds himself in post apocalyptic antarctica or some such (I know this ought to be in find-a-fic, sorry) and buffy flies there to pick him up and after much convincing is able to take him with her to london...anyway those sorts of stories...
