Hi! I'm looking for fics where Buffy and Spike become friends, which leads to more... Preferably in the vampire/slayer universe and NC-17, but I'm open to more. Any ideas ?

My "Are We Friends" begins as friendship, but ends somewhat differently and the sequel "Just a Summer Romance" takes it further. Not sure if it's here at TSR, but you can find it at my site http://spuffystuff.org/arewefriends.htm

What if Becoming ended a little differently? What if Buffy and Spike had been friends ever since thier tentative truce? Would things have worked out differently? This is my attempt to find out! Will be spuffy eventually, please R & R COMPLETE

Thank you both, sounds great ! Any other suggestions ?

Something Gray by Pfeifferpack
Something Gray by pfeifferpack Rated: PG
Summary: Buffy and the Scoobies learn life isn't all black and white and that not all you are taught is correct. Season 4 retold.
Categories: Season 4 Characters: Ensemble

And I do believe this one, if I remember correctly, is a progression from friendship as well.

Love's Gift by pfeifferpack Rated: NC-17
Summary:
What if Buffy didn't take that dive off of the tower in The Gift? What if she saw Spike for the man he was becoming and spent the next year without the depression caused from her being pulled from heaven? Could they have progressed to love on a natural course. Begins at climax of The Gift then AU.

Pfeifferpack has a couple more that has the relationship evolving slowly unlike season 6 of the show. Mask and Mirrors, which is set in season 5, has them being thrown into a situation where they are around each other all of the time that gives Buffy a lot of time to see Spike differently. Seven Stages of Clarity has her mother coming to realize what a good man Spike is and trying to get her daughter to see him in the same light before she dies in season 5.

I've never read any of those, I'm gonna try it ! Thanks !
