I remember reading Pari's note the newsfeed, saying Spuffy doesn't have to be fluffy.

This has really captured my imagination, and I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for fics that aren't fluffy at all. Im a fan of the nice fluffy endings, so i don't know how much I'll enjoy this - but I'm more than intrigued!!

So anything. Spike can be as horrible as you like. Maybe he breaks Buffy's heart and leaves her broken. Or perhaps Buffy is the one making Spikes life miserable, and they never resolve it.

All suggestions are welcome, canon/AU/AH....anything :)

Herself fics.

Missed You by lizerrrbeathan
Every one has a dark fic and here's mine. A true AU--be warned; contains a retelling of the major themes from 7, 6, into 5 beginning post 'Restless.' After a JM interview--needed to tell this story just once to understand an AU where "she used him mercilessly..."

Scars by JamesMFan
Set during Season 4, no Riley and Spike doesn't have a chip. Buffy is still reeling from the events of the past year, where she was scarred both physically and mentally. Now, to make matters worse Spike's back in town.

Winter's Storm by greyangel

Spike is the head of the LA branch mob, and he takes Buffy hostage. For a lot of the fic, Spike's really horrible to her, but it's a great story. I have a copy of it because I don't think it's on the web anymore.

Mad World series by pepperlandgirl

Also not on the web, but I do have a copy. Spike is a crooked cop and Buffy is a prostitute.
