Stranded by Bloodshedbaby

Summary: Pre-Lover's walk. Will Spike and Buffy survive the plane crash the council arranges to kill them? Probably. But will Buffy survive being stranded in the wilderness with a vampire that hates her? And what's Angel going to think of this?

Note: The background and text are both white on this webpage, but highlighting everything on the page will show the text.


Clocks of the Long Now by lostboy

Summary: This story begins post-Chosen, then rockets into an angsty, dystopian post-NFA future that finds Buffy questioning the loyalties of her closest allies.

Four years after the gang helped Sunnydale perform its swan dive into Hell, a terrifying new enemy emerges from an unexpected quarter. As secrets are revealed and old friends are reunited, the greatest Apocalypse of all looms ever closer. Will they manage to save the day one last time?


Alone Series by SpikesKat

The Alone Series includes:

Alone With You
Summary: Set during What's My Line and going A/U from there.

Alone No More
Summary: The sequel to Alone With You. Spike and Buffy are together in England, working side-by-side to take out the Order of Taraka.

Never Alone Again
Summary: Third in the "Alone" series. Picks up where Alone No More left off. It's time for the showdown with the Order of Taraka.

Here are some others that have Buffy and/or Spike going up against the Council.

Series Fics

Wicked by HollyDB

Summary: Buffy's choice of Halloween costume might have been whimsical, but she wasn't quite prepared for it to be life-changing.

Sacrament by HollyDB (WIP)

Summary: Sequel to Wicked. Six months ago, Buffy turned into a vampire at the hands of her greatest enemy and disappeared. Her friends think they finally have found the solution to getting their slayer back...all they need is a witch, an orb, and a soul.

Sacrament is the one where they start dealing with the Council.


Unreal Together by DawnofMe

Summary: Spike comes back from Africa, in the Summer after season six, and finds that he's not the only one who's changed. When Faith's life is in danger, Buffy and Spike team up to save the day.

Soul Survivors by DawnofMe

Summary: Sequel to Unreal Together. Spike helps Buffy get the hang of things. She has to contend with old enemies, old boyfriends, and new allies. Why is Giles avoiding Buffy, and what does he know? When ancient secrets come out in the open and their lives are in danger, they go to London, hoping to take care of things once and for all.

League of Souls by DawnofMe

Summary: This is the fourth and final part of my Vamp!Buffy series that started with Unreal Together, continued with Soul Survivors with an extra story about Torch/Andra called Torchair Air Eideadh. I recommend reading all three stories before reading this one. In this fourth part, Andra shows up at Buffy and Spike's doorstep. Wolfram and Hart want Andra to take the place of Angel in the grand scheme of things. Another house guest arrives that causes a rift between Spike and Buffy, but they do their best to help Andra while coping with their own problems.


Stand-Alone Fics

Beloved Slayer by ImmortallySpuffy

Summary: Giles tells Buffy she can't get pregnant, but later she finds out it takes a special type of mate. Will she and her mate be able to overcome all the outside influences trying to keep them apart?

Coming Back Wrong by Dreamweaver

Summary: After the destruction of Sunnydale and the Hellmouth, Spike comes back wrong.

To See the Sun Again by Kallysten

Summary: Someone tries to have Buffy & Spike fulfill yet another Prophecy.


Works In Progress (sporadically updated, but not abandoned)

After the Fall by BuffyXenaDQFan (WIP)

Summary: Imagine this as a re-telling of Season 6. Beginning at the moment Spike and Buffy see one another for the first time since her resurrection, the Slayer finds a comfort in the vampire that she'd never felt before. When their respective feelings for one another rapidly grow into a secret romance, what will happen when Buffy's friends learn the truth?

Forever Alive by Shadow (WIP)

Summary: When an Immortal Slayer joins forces with an unusal vampire, strange things are bound to happen.

Forever Alive is a crossover with Highlander and very AU, but the more recent chapters have the Council firmly on the losing side.

There's also Aloha My Love by: Isabel

Summary: Some summer fun to cure winter blues. After Buffy suffered a nasty knee injury on the job, her friends think it would be nice to pay for her to take a little vacation. The problem is, all of her friends are too busy to go with her, except Spike. But what would a vampire do in sunny Maui for two weeks? Heat things up, what else.


It doesn't sound like a Spuffy against the council fic, but it is (council trying to kill them and they fighting back and getting over on them). It's also very cute, fluffy, and not at all angst filled (IMO)

I am the original poster and wanted to thank everyone for the great recs. I can't wait to dive into them.

Not Beneath Me by Tasha
Definately some council bashing here.
