Any fics similar to When She Smiles by xoChantelly? That fic has Buffy as a runaway and Spike who volunteers at a shelter or something and he finds her and keeps nagging her until she accepts his help. It's a very lovely fic and I was wondering if there are any similar ones out there where Buffy is kind of saved by Spike?

Preferably AU but i can deal with any genre. At least R rating and only completed please?

I guess I can self-pimp, right?
My story, Welcome to the Jungle fits the criteria. It's here and also at EF and AO3.

Thanks! Ill check it out for sure Oh and just curious, what's AO3 short for? Am i missing out on another fanfic website??

AO3 is the abbreviation for a fanfic site called An Archive Of Our Own. I found it through Stargate fanfiction but it has others as well, including BtVS. This is their link:
