Hey guys,

Im looking for time travel fics slightly different than the usual. I'm always a fan of spuffy, but for this pairing isn't important. Any fic that involves someone coming from the future, very similar to "A Penny for.." this person would preferably be an OC. Thanks in advance for any help Guys!

Have you read "A Switch in Time" by coalitiongirl?


Summary: Four years after Sunnydale, Buffy must travel back in time to stop Glory and avert the destruction of the world. But there's a catch- she's been accidentally put in the wrong body. She's got all the information necessary to ensure a happily ever after for her friends and herself.




But who's going to listen to Anya?

You should check out "Future Imperfect" by cousinjean.

In the year 2336, Buffy wakes to find she is humanity's only hope for the future, and Spike is the only link to her past. Contains spoilers for Season 5. Set during and 335 years following "The Gift."

Probaby not exactly what you're looking for, but it's an amazing time travel piece.

Just remember that Spike and Buffy 'have' to be the main characters in any fics searched for and/or posted here. Not necessarily romantically involved but the main characters in the story. Please keep that in mind guys.

Here is another by cousinjean. This is one of my absolute favorite fics of all time! Involves a time traveling demon and a future Buffy returning to Season 2.
The Butterfly Effect by cousinjean
Five months after the events of "Chosen," a still grieving Buffy must follow a time-travelling demon back to 1997 (circa Season 2) Sunnydale to prevent him from destroying the timeline--and try not to destroy it herself in the process.

And Here We Go Round Again by Peta
Summary: Spike takes a trip back in time to School Hard to see how possible it could be to make a Buffy,free from the trauma of first love with Angel,fall in love with him. Will this be the first one of Spike's plans to succeed??

I hope I am understanding your criteria correctly. If not, I apologize!

I have read 3 of the 4 stories posted here and I loved them. What I'm looking for is more of a story where an original character comes into any season of Buffy, either from an alternate timeline (say where Buffy is just a tv show) or the future and makes their presence known, hopefully by hooking up spuffy. I'm sorry if I wasn't being clear before guys. But I absolutely appreciate your suggestions.

There's a long WIP I really like where a character drops in from I think the future:

Irony Becomes Her by starmouse

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/916876/1/Irony_Becomes_Her

Buffy. Spike. Multiple Slayers, DemonBuffy, and a touch of rude language. Irony abounds.

It's a shame it will never be finished, but it is a fun read and the original character is, in my opinion, interesting and makes sense in the narrative.

There's one that involves Spuffy's child coming back from the future. It was suggested in an older thread and now I can't fin where it was. Does this sound like something you were wanting? I'll keep looking...

I believe you are thinking of Origins by Niamh. That is a huge story whose plot involves many things one of which is the future child coming to see them and they don't know that that is who she is....So it fits the criteria and is also a great story to boot.

Origins by Niamh

Summary: Post Season 5, veers from Canon, but uses elements that were seemingly left discarded by the writers.
