The Truce by Eternal_red

When the two sides finally reach the point where negotiation is better than annihilation, a truce is called and a treaty negotiated on the planet currently under dispute. The peace treaty is cemented symbolically by the joining in marriage of the two youngest soldiers present, thereby throwing Buffy and Spike into a relationship that they really, really, don't want. Although not a traditional Vampire versus Slayer scenario, it is close enough to be familiar.

(This is complete however it leaves off with you waiting for the sequel as there is lots of unexplained questions and unfortunately there isn't one.....yet??)

My most frustrating reads:
"Base Elements" by Limber
http://lubakmetyk.infinology.net/crypt.htm#limber
Years after leaving Sunnydale, Spike runs into Dawn out East. Then things start going wrong, and he has to bring her back home...

"Avatar" Mint Witch
http://www.allaboutspike.com/fic.html?id=123
This is a wishful thinking S7.

And "Season Noir" by Anna S. that I can't find on the wayback

I still have hope for "Dust" by Knife's Edge

Oh, I forgot about Base Elements. I love that story. Good rec.

Season Noir by Anna S is here:

http://fanlore.org/wiki/Buffy_Season_Noir

West Of The Moon, East Of The Sun by KnifeEdge is complete on EF.

Summary:
I keep having the strangest dream. Every night it's the same thing: a dark room, a big bed, and a silent vampire that I can feel, but not see. I'd be wigged, except it's just a dream, right? It'll be a cold day in hell before I ever willingly sleep with a vampire again. Complete

The Song Remains The Same by Smac here at SR.
Although she keeps saying she's gonna finish it. Someday. Hopefully before the world ends.

Ouch. Yes, I am a bad bad girl. Complaint duly noted; hanging head in shame.

Thank you! I have it printed out but love to rec it-

Blood of My Blood by Blood Faerie, great feral Spike story but never finished.

Thanks you all
now I have all this new stories to read...

My favorite WIPs are by Spikealicious: One Normal Day and One Normal Life, Two Extraordinary Lives. They are so well written, in depth and emotionally provoking. I keep hoping that they will one day be complete, but if not at least I was privy to a wonderful story.
