I'm in the mood for broken hearted Buffy or Spike. As long as it is vampSpike, slayerBuffy, and the broken heart is caused by the other. I want to cry, I want either no happy ending or the smallest smidgen of hope for the end of the fic. I don't want Buffy crying over Angel or Riley or any other male besides Spike, or Spike crying over Dru or any other female than Buffy. This means it can be Buffy breaking Spike's heart or it can be Spike breaking Buffy's heart and I want to cry for their pain. I would like the fic to center on the heart break and be at least a couple thousand words if possible.

I hope someone can rec what I'm looking for and thanks in advance.

"The Ballad of Randy and Joan" by Annie Sewell Jennings. I'm not sure its the kind of heartbreak you're looking for but it has everything you asked for-

Where They Have to Take You In by Herself

It's part of the Bittersweet series which you should definitely read all of, bbut this part in particular has what you're asking for.

Thanks for the rec. I've read this one several times actually. One of the great authors in our fandom.

Thanks for the help. I've read all of Herself's fics many times.

This Be the Verse by ghostofsnickerdoodle is probably one of the most heartbreaking, painful Spuffy stories I've ever read. The final chapter just wrecked me. I'm not allowed to post a link, but it's on this site.
