This is a list of fictions that I have enjoyed and wanted to share with you. All of them are Buffy/Spike (I don't read anything else!) In my humble opinion, these are some of the best stories out there. But of course, keep in mind that this is only my opinion. I'm sure there are many other wonderful fics out there, just waiting for me to read them! Some of my favorites are dark, and some of them are nice and fluffy. I like it all. Do keep in mind that a few of these are rated NC-17.
Also note that all of these stories are outside links. I don't archive fic other than my own at this website, so please don't ask me to archive yours. If you want me to read it, that's great! I'm always looking for quality fic to read, and who knows? I might just like it enough to recommend it here!
If you read any of my recommendations, please don't forget to send feedback to the authors. It makes us happy. :-)

The Chains Series
This is an extremely long and very involved story. It's broken into several parts, the largest part being Secrets and Lies. This is one of the best stories I've ever read, and unfortunately it remains unfinished. But it's well worth the read. The premise is an alternate ending for Becoming II. It's set after season two so some of the information is not in tune with the show now, but you won't really care.
It's a dark story, but well written and very engrossing. This story inspired me to write my own fanfic (even if mine is nothing like this!) Give it a read! [Very NC-17]

Strange Bedfellows
This is a series of stories that make up an alternate season five BtVS. These two write some very funny dialogue and had me ROFL during certain parts. It's still a work in progress, but I believe there are 11 parts ready for your reading pleasure. Check it out!

Dancing Lessons 1.0
A great collaboration fic written by several different authors. It begins after "The Body" I believe and takes a completely different turn from the actual series. Much more B/S friendly! Sometimes, I'd forget if the stuff I read in DL actually happened on the show or not. It's that good! Read it!
Dancing Lessons 2.0 WAR!
This is the continuation of the original DL series. If you read one, you have to read the other, and trust me, you'll want to.

Cousin Jean
And Miles To Go
This is a sweet and wonderful story written after "The Gift" about Buffy's possible return. Spike saves the day... I loved this story. Cousin Jean is a member of the Dancing Lessons crew as well, so I've put her fic under the same heading.

Shaken
I loved this story! Julbie has a wonderful knack for dialogue! The premise is an earthquake really shakes things up in Sunnydale. Spike is human, Buffy's a regular girl, and everyone else is a superhero! It had me LOL! (written in script format)
Recognition
Buffy's back and she doesn't remember anything. Leave it to Spike to fill her in on the details...(written in script format)
