Since nobody seems to know any stories that fit my last fic rec, I figure I'd try one more time with a different theme.

Does anyone know any good fics where Spike is a good guy when Buffy first meets him?

I'd prefer fics that stay within the Buffyverse (no all human stories) but I wouldn't be apposed to some AU (like Spike being a male slayer, or a demon hunter, etc). I would like stories that are either completed, or if they are a WIP, they're ones that have been updated recently. Time travel is okay, just so long as Spike is good when he's first introduced to Buffy.

Only other criteria would be fics with no rape involved and fics where, if it has Buffy/Other, it's very minimal and nothing too graphic.

Some examples would be:

Dancing in the Moonlight by Holly
And Here We Go Round Again by Megan
He walks in Darkness and the Light. The Saviour of Slayers by Cia Souless

Anyone else have any other recommendations?

Do-over options...

Anticipation by 2writers4spike
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?

His Way by dreamweaver
After 'Not Fade Away' Spike finds himself resurrected yet again and sent back in time by the PTB to fix things for Buffy.

To Trick a Witch by Megan
Buffy finds herself caught in a world of witches that have it in for her. On the brink of a nasty spell, a stranger comes crashing into her world. Will he avert disaster, or ensure Buffy gets what is coming to her as the Slayer?

Slayer of Slayers by Jypzrose kinda fits the bill.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I was looking for stories without rape or graphic Buffy/Other and that story unfortunately has both.
