Where Oh Where is Canon!Spike?

botiasA few folks have asked this because of my Fic!Spike vs. Canon!Spike comparison. I'm the wrong person to ask, probably, as I don't care for dark!fic and I'm guessing fics that would feature such a Spike in a prominent way are going to get dark fast. However, I have a few suggestions:

beanbeans has some great evol Spike stuff, mostly very adult. Check out her Smut 69 prompts, her fic "The Consort" and if you look in her memories you can still find her WIP "Solace", a Spike/OC fic which is worth the read even for being on indefinite hold.
Another I can recommend that way israhirah. She is an unabashed fan of 'soulless Spike' and a good writer as well. Her Spike is an impulsive, unapologetic, homicidal asshat to the very end. I love the way she keeps his badass rep that was allowed to fall by the wayside in canon.

herself_nyc_fic has quite the body of work featuring soulless Spike, and is also a good writer, with the caveat that Herself's Spike is about 125 years more mature than canon!Spike and not quite as 'deliciously violent', or at least not when he's on-stage.
rikki_oko is working on a Season 2 Spuffy fic right now in which evol Spike is quite, well, delightfully evol, as are the rest of the fanged, well-characterized, crew.
My widely-read flisties, can you help? Where have you spied Canon!Spike?
ETA: I fixed my many errors; that's what I get for posting right before I had to run out the door.

I think I could, and probably would, force myself write him that way, just to be true to his character. But, then I would have to hold my nose, and that makes it really hard to type so I don't know... ;) I don't like guys, much prefer men.
