Hi all,

I just reread Chelle's Please Remember Me and am moving on to the rest of the series, but it sparked a big desire to read a specific sort of fic.

So, I'm looking for some good reads where Spike and Buffy have a happy, relatively angst-free relationship--regardless of what the actual plot is, if they could get together quickly, while keeping it realistic, it would be a dream.

In Chelle's fic, Spike sort of slips in after Angel in S3. I'm not quite saying this needs to happen, but bonus if the fics are set in the earlier seasons. The last thing I want to read right now is long(!!!) periods of Buffy being grave and negative towards a relationship with Spike. Youthful!Buffy is definitely a must.

Thank you all for even just looking at this thread! And much thanks in advance.

An alternate end to Becoming where Spike and Buffy leave together and wind up in a small New England town where nobody knows their secret identities. But trouble has a way of finding them...

Thank you!
