Crying

[jem4water.livejournal.com]

This is my first time posting to this community, so I hope what I'm asking isn't too strange.

I'm looking for fics, hopefully Spuffy, where Spike cries in front of the Scoobies. He may be overwhelmed, or hurt, or upset, but I just want him crying from an emotion that isn't happiness. I don't even know if there has been a situation in any fics that have been written. If there are any out there, I'd just like to read them.

I'm also looking for any fics in which Spike's past as William comes up to haunt him. I'm specifically looking for fics where the Scoobies find out about William's mother's feelings towards him and how she tried to come on to him, or how Spike turned her and then had to kill her again because of the monster she had become. Alternatively, I'm looking at fics in which William's father beat him or abused him and the Scoobies find out about it.

I just, I don't know. I like fics where Spike is revealed to the Scoobies, or becomes a spectacle, like everything they knew about him was different and that he had a hard home life when he was human.

Thanks in advance to anyone that helps me find stories with these situations in them.

I think we share a brain or something 'cause those are the exact same types of fics that I've meant to ask around for. So I'll probably stalk around your post for a while : D

If I can remember a story that fits your criteria I'll hop right over and let you know!

Haha. I've always thought it was a little bit weird when everyone wanted baby!fics or something and I wanted something like this. :D

Thanks.

Hmmm... I could have sworn I knew more fics with that first scenario of yours, but the only one I could think of was Amerella's And then She Died Again (Spike/Buffy), although I'm not sure if he actually cries in front of the scoobies, or if he's just hysterical.

If you don't mind Spike/Xander, then Ahestele's Midnight at the LAX has Spike breaking down in front of Xander, as do shadowscast's "Fragments" and "London Calling" (and probably few other stories as well) here. shadowscast's S/X fic is very non-slash-fan friendly, so if you like hurt/comfort, her stories are worth checking out even if - like me - you don't usually read the pairing.

Well, there's one where Spike cries in front of Giles and Anya. It's called "Work In Progress" found here: http://bloodshedverse.com/stories.php?go=read I warn you though--it's super dark and angsty, but Spuffy, eventually.
