spike is appreciated by the Scoobies

While the title does not really give you much of a clue as to what I am looking for, I hope it garnered attention.
In this thread I am looking for any and all stories That spike is appreciated by the Scoobies. I do not like the canon of the Spike is nothing more than cannon fodder. We knew that William was young and well educated gentleman. He probably know at least a couple of languages. he's 120+ years old and a lot of experience. You can not forget the he is probably the best fighter who unlife. He kill 2 Slayers but I like idea that fought over a dozen and deemed them unworthy so let them live.
I want to read about this!

Hope you get a lot of recommends - I'm with you I like reading Spike with more than just the evil vampire perspective from all the scoobs and Buffy.

passion4spikes's Unexpected Universe series has the scoobs all on board.

Thanks for the recommend 123Sonja - I've been reading this super long series last few months - few stories at a time. It's outstanding.
