Spuffy finding each other...no angst at least between them.,

Basically, I am just trying to find some of those fics that make you feel good to be a Spuffy fan. Them finding each other and things between them being good. Other angst welcome and fine. Need a make me smile/sigh.

Thanks.

I'm having trouble with this. I love the angst,and I love long stories, which usually means more than usual angst anyway...

So, here's one I think was fun to read and was lighter (IMO) on the angst than most:

The Kiss by Sotia

http://spikeluver.com/SpuffyRealm/viewstory.php?sid=34095&warning=AO-AdultsOnly

Summary: Buffy is out on a first date, when the lights go off and someone kisses her like she's never been kissed before. Knowing it couldn't have been the man she went out with, she has to go through some frogs before she finally finds her prince.



I also think this one is less about angst between the two than most stories are:

A Different Light by dreamweaver

http://spikeluver.com/SpuffyRealm/viewstory.php?sid=32149&warning=NC-17

Summary: During the fight for the Gem of Amara, Buffy and Spike get pulled into another dimension.

Of course, YMMV.

Now, if you want some all human stories, then there's more to choose from. And there are certainly shorter stories that are less angstful, but I don't usually read those so I can't comment too much on them. Hope this helps.

A couple of all human ones. The first I haven't read yet but looks promising and doesn't seem to be hugely angsty if you go by the movie it's based on:

About a Boy by Desire

http://bleeding-heart.net/bfw/fanfic/sb/desire/AboutABoy.html

Summary: AU. After several bad experiences with relationships, William 'Spike' Giles has spent the last five years of his life in a state of confirmed bachelor-hood. He's happily become a self-centered jerk, but a 10 yr old boy and his young mother may change that.



This one has angst all right but it's not between Buffy and Spike. They meet under bad circumstances but they are not at odds with each other:


Dark Sail on the Horizon by jamies_lady

http://spikeluver.com/SpuffyRealm/viewstory.php?sid=28488

Summary: William is in a monastery wondering about his future when fate takes a hand and he and his cousin are taken in a viking raid Set a millenium ago



This one is not all human but it's not BtVS canon either. It's just fun - but it isn't finished that I can find, so that could be a problem:


Star Wars Spuffy Style by moxie

https://www.spikeluver.com/SpuffyRealm/viewstory.php?sid=5962&warning=NC-17

Summary: Princess Buffonia meets rogue Vampirian smuggler Spike while running away from marriage to Riley Sleepwalker and a strange man who keeps harping on about her destiny as the Slayer. Not a cross-over. More a melt-across. And not to be taken in the slightest bit seriously. this is my little break from all the angst. All Spaceballs, cliches and badfic references are entirely intentional...

Thanks so much! I'll look forward to checking those out! Just need some good spuffy goodness right now.

You're welcome. I wish I had more or better to offer to your request but I figured you needed something right now and this was the best I could come up with today. If I think of anything else I'll post it too.

Happy reading!!
