Spike mean/abusive to Buffy

Any fics where Spike is mean, controlling, or even abusiv to Buffy...where he doesn't appreciate her?

TIA

Well, in this story he isn't actually abusive but he has fallen out of love with her while she is now smitten and he is really annoyed by her persistence. It's a good story, although a long never will be finished WIP:

Irony Becomes Her by starmouse

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/916876/1/Irony_Becomes_Her

Summary: Pretend Spike did get his soul, comes back to Sunnydale, still desperate to prove his love to Buffy, who still hates him for various reasons, not the least of which being the fact that he left in the first place. . .

. . . Then, things change.

1. Spike falls out of love with Buffy. ( *Awww* )

2. Buffy falls in to love with Spike. ( *Yay!* )

Note: She did not love him before, no matter what her insightful sort~of~sister thinks about it all. She was using him, and his love for her, for her own selfish, bitchy reasons. But when he gets back, she falls totally in love with him, bordering on (but in no way beating) his initial obsession with her. Think Gone With the Wind. So the tables have turned, Buffy no longer being a bitch, Spike acting indifferent to her, everyone else just sort of there.

Along those same lines is

Practically Perfect by Kallysten

"If she were to transform Spike into the perfect man, a man she could not only work with but also, maybe, love, what would she change?"

Now this one is not finished yet but it is very good and Spike is not particularly fond of Buffy in it:

Influence of Demons by gabrielleabelle

http://spikeluver.com/SpuffyRealm/viewstory.php?sid=33308&warning=NC-17

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.

Thank you!! So excited!

You're welcome.

Another along the lines of not-abusive-but-not-particularly-thrilled-with-her Spuffy stories:

My Life Closed Twice by Anaross

http://www.athenewolfe.com/justrewards/viewstory.php?sid=577

Summary: Post-Not Fade Away. Buffy seeks Spike's remains, but then finds him in the most unusual place. Spike/Other, Spike/Buffy. Anaross says, "Not sure where this is going. But new fic. PWP--- Poetry without plot. Well, no poetry yet."

One that kind of fits is A Terrible Thing by Herself

Blurb: A couple of years after the final battle in Sunnydale, Buffy interrupts her life of international leisure to travel to Vietnam, for the prospect of seeing someone she never thought she'd see again. Novella-length story complete in two parts. This is part one. Part two is here. Spoilers for all of BtVS and AtS.
Rating: NC-17
Story Notes: I began writing this for a narrative kink ficathon on Livejournal, so long ago that I can barely remember the original challenge. I didn't meet all the criteria, but it was supposed to be set after the end of AtS (check), to involve Oz (check, although he has only a small part), and the narrative "kink" was sunlight. Perversely, I decided to put Buffy in a rainy place. The Vietnam of this tale is a Vietnam of the mind; I make no claim for it to resemble the actual country in any way.

This is an amazing fic and totally worth the read!

Goes a few more chapters on gabrielleabelle's lj

I would like to second that this is a very well written story that I really want to see finished...

Jawdrop.

I did not know this had two more chapters completed. Thank you!

And I concur -- this is one of my favorite stories and I soooooo want to see it finished (after lots more chapters, of course.)

You're so welcome Glad I could help you after all the help you've been when I've been in search of Spuffy Gabrielleabelle is still updating her lj so I have hope of it being finished one day!

Yeah, the last lj update was last July which does give me hope. I love this story.

I am going to lock thread due to spammers.
