Spike walking away from the Scoobies as they tend to Buffy, overlayed with the following from the shooting script: Xander and Willow lead Buffy away, ignoring Spike. He looks after them, partly concerned, partly pissed to the core. SPIKE (calling after them) Put a little ice on the back of her neck. (softly, to himself) She likes that.
That sound you hear is the collective whimper of every Spuffy fan in existence.
Four panels of Spuffy (first two when they're at their worst in Dead Things; final two when they're at their best in Touched and Chosen) with the text from tumblr: thesunoficaruss big fan of romance horror. big fan of terrible people still being loved. big fan of bending morality and turning the grotesque into something beautiful. interextradimensional Big fan of loving someone entirely; parts both grotesque and beautiful and acknowledging that both parts make you love them all the more…
This is why their journey is so special. By the time they get to the end, they know each other and are known by each other better than anyone else.
Same. It's lazy, disingenuous edgelording.

Normal Again, one of the most divisive episodes in the series, aired 24 years ago today. Spike's downward spiral continues, Buffy once again chooses the life of a slayer over a provided out.
But it does have this bittersweet exchange.
Angel is angry in Just Rewards that Spike was "fine" after a few weeks with his soul, mostly because Angel doesn't get it.
Imagine a soul is a tattoo. Painful to acquire. Permanent in nature.
Do you think you'd handle it better if you chose to get it, or if you were forced into the chair?

29 years ago, Buffy the Vampire Slayer staked her way onto our television and into our hearts. No one could have known that we would still be here nearly three decades later or that this show would launch the ultimate E2L ship -- that which many try to imitate, but never manage to duplicate.

Spike only goes to the trouble of researching and planning (and sticking to a plan, for that matter) on the issues that really matter to him.

Today, on International Women's Day, we celebrate Buffy Summers.The only slayer who ever upset the status quo, who took the power back from the men who had chosen the fate of generations of young girls and put it where it belonged. She refused to be a footnote and in doing so, became a legend.

When you're trying to think of anything but the evil bloodsucking fiend and oops, he's right there.

Buffy and Spike at Xander and Anya's not a wedding
24 years ago, we got one of the sweetest Spuffy moments in S6 and it hurt so good.
"It's nice, watching you be happy. For them, even. I don't see it a lot. You, um... you glow. " 😭

Mom and Dad are very disappointed in you.

Spuffy romance novel cover
Spuffy never got a traditional "couple's" promo shoot the way Bangel and Biley did, but we did get our own romance novel cover.
Happy 23 years of Storyteller! With special thanks to Andrew.
REAL
Spike looking whorey (affectionate) with an open button-up showing bare skin as he prepares a drink and smokes
We love us a season dedicated to catering to the female gaze.
Buffy giving Angel a "stfu" look when he objects to her claim that, "Just remember, a vampire's personality has nothing to do with the person it was" strictly to spare Willow's feelings.
27 years since Angel tried to correct Buffy's statement about a vampire's personality having nothing to do with who they were in life.
27 years and people still argue about this in fandom, particularly when it comes to Angel himself.
Yet here he is saying the thing.
Anyway...

Sad truth
four panels of Spuffy from Smashed, fighting to fucking. Caption: The existence of a safeword also implies the existence of a dangerword that you can use to instantly turn any sexual event into a combat encounter by tumblr user piosplayhouse
S6 Spuffy was all dangerwords and no safewords.

Following his disastrous declaration of love, Spike decided to get into Buffy's good graces by... *checks notes* being a little shit.
He's such an idiot.

23 years ago, Buffy told Spike she needed him to be dangerous, be the Spike who tried to kill her when they first met, so Spike went out to don his armor -- the physical representation of his most killingest (what, it's a word!) self.
Happy 23 years of Get It Done!
