Since I've been in a Buffy/Spike mood and feel like recc'ing....

Acts of Contrition by clawofcat -- Set in the aftermath of Showtime. Spike realizes that all of his sacrifice has not been in vain. He’s given his pound of flesh for Buffy, but what gift can she give him in return? --- Oh, wow....lovely, gorgeous writing that I only wish I could do.

Latter Days by enigmatic_blue -- (Set post-Chosen) After the Slayers are activated, the balance between good and evil is disturbed, and the Scoobies are flung to the far corners of the world to respond to the crisis. In the midst of all of this, will they be able to keep their relationships strong? Or will they be divided by circumstances and torn apart by fate?  --- I pretty much love everything by enigmaticblue and this WIP is no exception; 16 chapters thus far and still going.
