Spuffy long stories, WIPs
Imitation of a Man by darkapple
http://darkapple.livejournal.com/37429.html or
http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=darkapple&keyword=Imitation+of+a+Man&filter=al
Completed, 325,000+words, R, post-Dead Things. Buffy discovers that Warren'n behavior was inspired by her treatment of Spike as Warren spied on them. Shocked and guilty, Buffy re-sires Spike and becomes his metaphorical soul and conscience. But a soulless vampire who fights the good fight is bad PR. It's unacceptable for demonic higher powers, so they give Spike an ultimatum: he has to kill the human version of himself, William, in an alternate dimension - or he will be destroyed as an unadequate vampire. Darkapple uses popular time-travel ploy with a new twist - Buffy and Spike are transported back in 1880 in a parallel dimension, and they don't have to bother about disrupting that pesky timeline (the biggest obstacle in time-travel fics). So the story focuses on their ethical choices as well as on a inventive detective intrigue. IoaM is an intense, riveting epic novel that literally stirred the Spuffy fandom: echoes of the debates could be found here, here and here.
The Shearing by Anaross
http://anaross.livejournal.com/85454.html
Probably WIP, post-NFA, PG-13. Spike and Faith were a great team; after her death he's mourning and drinking too much. When Giles sends him to Cleveland to help Buffy, at first it doesn't look like a great idea. The first chapter is brilliant - full of tension and angst and vague hope of starting over. Hopefully Anaross won't abandon her new story. *crosses fingers*
Thought You Should Know by Angearia
http://angearia.livejournal.com/53356.html
WIP, 36 chapters so far, R, season 8. What started as a short Spuffy one-shot, turned into a sprawling epic - alternate season 8 with thrilling action and powerful human drama, as Buffy struggles against enemies and comes to terms with her new mission. The story is a multiple awards winner.

Paper Promise by Jess Marie
http://www.bloodshedverse.com/stories.php?go=chapters&no=3649
Completed, NC-17, post-OAFA. Spike gives Buffy a birthday present - "a tightly folded, worn sheet of notebook paper". -- A blank sheet. -- "Had to make a list. Figure out what I wouldn't do for you. What I absolutely would never lower myself to, no matter how much you wanted it.” This is his last ditch effort to get through to Buffy and he succeeds, but their poor communication skills threaten to leave all parties feeling like failures.

WIP, PG so far, early season 8. Pairing: Buffy/Spike, Buffy/Other. Grief pushes Buffy sleep with Xander. She gets pregnant, keeps her baby and then she discovers that Spike is no longer dead.

R, Alternate Normal Again. Spike’s the one who’s affected by the demon. But this is a different kind of demon, and to Buffy’s dismay and Xander’s not-quite-horror, Spike suddenly finds himself madly in love with Xander… There is some semi-graphic Spike/Xander in this, even though it's ultimately Spuffy.

WIP, G, Middle of season 5. Writer's summary: "You take one Magic Box, one brand-new shelf of fiction, one spell gone slightly wonky, and suddenly our heroes find themselves fully booked. Geddit? Booked? Well, you will." The idea to put Buffyverse characters in the classic literature landscape is comedy gold. Each Buffy's trip in different cultural landscapes is funny and naughty. And, um, edicational.

Courting Sin by Leni_BA
http://community.livejournal.com/kitteninthedark/23128.html
R, Season 2 rewrite. Buffy/Angelus. Leny created an alternate universe in which Buffy slowly comes to terms with Angel sans soul. Twisty and angsty combo of expressive style and deliciously disturbing situations.
(metem)psychosis by mabus101
http://mabus101.livejournal.com/125867.html
One-shot, PG, season 6. Buffybot comes to self-realization. "Being a robot is hard. Being a robot who's supposed to be Buffy is harder. I have to remember all the things she was supposed to know, and at the same time I have to remember that they're not really mine. And who I have to be Buffy in front of." Mabus101 uses one of the staple sci-fi techniques - robot's POV, - and he delves much, much deeper, to question the essence of personality, using deceptively simple words to talk about very complex matters.
