Any fics to do with poetry/Spike's poet past? I don't want Buffy/William, solely Buffy/Spike. The fics I've read that have at least some poetry in them are My Life Closed Twice, Ars Poetica, and West of the Sun, East of the Moon. Couple of others, but I don't think the poetry was as prominent.

I use poetry and have Spike write poems (as well as read other people's poems and sing) for Buffy and (and their children) in Unexpected. It's not the main theme, but interspersed throughout...

Here's the AU series:

But preferablly no baby!fics, please. Or marriage.

oK - sorry - Unexpected is a Baby/Marriage fic...

Charms of the Clarion (sp?) by Eurydice
Long and sweet with the scoobies actually mostly accepting Spike. And poetry for sure.
