I'm looking for long, completed all-human fics in which Buffy and Spike are both adults (though I don't mind if there are high school flashbacks, etc). I think I've read all the ones on TSR and EF, so if you've got anything older that isn't there, please share!

Oh, and I prefer my fics with a healthy helping of angst and happy endings, if that narrows it down a bit.

Layaway by Moxie (on this site)

Touch the Fire by William's Girl ( at sinister-attraction)

As You Wish by William's Girl

Whiskey and Wine by Mrs. Muir

Carved Heart by greyangel

These are just a few that come to mind - I hope someone can help with links

Crave By Nautibitz is amazing - it can be found in nautific on livejournal
It's got the angst and it's still got the happy ending despite not being quite finished - from the looks of it there's only a chapter or 2 to go

Crave by NautiBitz

http://community.livejournal.com/nautific/44413.html

Summary: Devilish billionaire Spike Pratt is accustomed to getting what he wants -- and what he wants is his beguiling, headstrong new daughter-in-law. Buffy refuses to give in to his relentless advances -- at first. As she learns about the amazing man behind the armor, she can't help but shed her own... But what will happen when she finally digs up his family's buried secrets -- and when her husband discovers hers?

I've actually read all of these (I devour fic), but I haven't reread a bunch of them in a while. Thanks for the recs!

I've been looking but either the fics are already on TSR or EF, or they I can't find a link for them at all. AH fics that are complete and are long and aren't on TSR or EF are hard to find. I mean, they're out there, but they aren't jumping to mind right away.

Another one from one of my favorite authors, bittenandstaked, can be found at sinister-attraction

I really like her work.

I don't think I've read that one, thanks lunna and SMac!

It sounds like you need to check out the all human Spuffy fic website-SWEET TEMPTATIONS at: http://www.sweet-temptation.net/index.php

Its like EF so you have to sign in to access some of the stories. I'm not sure about all the authors that are only on that site but one I noticed that you should check out is SWEETIE.

Anything But Ordinary --by Sweetie

Summary: In the words of Buffy Summers, "We were friends until I was fourteen. Then high school came along, he became gorgeous, and I became a pronounced loser." Yep, this is a highschool fic, guys... with a twist. Can enemies, Buffy and Spike, rebuild the friendship they used to know? Will it develop into more?

BRING ME TO LIFE --by: SWEETIE

Summary: Buffy Summers is the blind daughter of a wealthy business man. Spike Tyler is the misogynistic ex-cop hired to kill her. With five hundred grand on the line and LA's finest police hot on their tail, will Spike be able to go through with it? More importantly, will he be able to look past the abuse he experienced as a child and see that not all women are who he made them out to be?

enjoy!

Shadows babe

I forgot to mention- I've also read all of those on that site. And I just reread the second! That was a heartbreaking one...

Not sure if you've read these but her goes a few more:

Something Worth Fighting For---By Moxie

http://www.sinister-attraction.net/stories/m/somethingworth.htm

Summary :The premise is that William spent two years in prison for a crime he didn't commit and the story begins at the point at which he starts to rebuild his life. He'll find himself working with Buffy, sparks fly (of course) but she's got to get him to believe in himself again before he can love her. I'm thinking beach side setting, Victorian clapboard houses, antiques shopping, dressing up in costume, oh and a book called The Art of Seduction may make a cameo appearance.
