Their favorite place to be is each other's side.

They want to devour each other.

Buffy and Spike being normal about each other in Superstar. Caption provided by @galacticidiots on Twitter:
October isn’t for mending broken hearts. It’s for messily glueing the pieces into a sharp, jagged, monstrous little thing, something with claws, with fangs.
October isn’t for mending hearts; it’s for devouring them.

The next time they fight like this, they're gonna smash.

Happy 26 years of Harsh Light of Day!

She loves him so much 🥹

In no universe will I ever believe this was his first sex dream about Buffy. Every interaction they've had has been inherently sexual.

What startled him awake wasn't kissing her. It was hearing his dream-self declare his love.

This is my hill. I will die on it.

Happy 25 years of Out of My Mind!

24 years ago, Spike did the impossible.

He got Buffy to grin.

Help aired 23 years ago today. In which, in the middle of a devastating episode, we got:

Spike calling William a bad man
Buffy and Spike both being absolute badasses
And the last prophecy Cassie ever made.

Cassie telling Spike that Buffy will one day tell him she loves him (in not so many words, but iykyk)

Forever has her back. Not just to look at her ass, but that's a perk.

How she came to him from the start.

Drawn together from the start. It's bonkers that this wasn't planned.

Proof that true soul mates CHOOSE each other rather than abide by the whims of a higher power. Or showrunner.

Buffy and Spike walking side by side with the following caption from @galacticidiots on Twitter:
‘The first time we met we hated each other,’ you say, and oh, don’t you know?
‘I never hated you,’ I reply. ‘I just didn’t know what to do with it.’
‘With what?’
‘With my heart. All the terrible wanting it did when you came around.’

MRW anti Spuffy people take the time to bork their algorithm by telling me how much they hate Spuffy.

Enjoy seeing a lot more of it, folks! And thanks for the engagement!

Spike being very normal about Buffy. In an enemy way. Purely enemy.

24 years ago, Spike realized she wasn't the Buffybot.

24 years ago, Spike stopped counting the days. Because today didn't count.

24 years ago, Buffy shared her darkest secret with her mortal enemy.

23 years ago, Buffy approached Spike for help for the first time since learning about his soul.

23 years ago, Spike was all of us in giving Xander this look.

23 years ago, we learned the depth of Buffy's capacity for grace and forgiveness.

Spike is always game to join a couple's fight. Is he in the couple? No. Will that stop him? Also no.

RIP Eddie. You were taken from us too soon. But Buffy avenged you. And Spike thanks you for the book.

26 years ago, Season 4 debuted with two megastars. Granted, we only knew about one at the time, but hindsight.

His love for her is always all over his face.

Panels from S11 Spuffy comics. Paired with this quote from galacticidiots on Twitter: "You are so loved. Do you hear me? You are so loved. You need to hear it — often, always, an endless amount — to make up for a time when you didn’t hear it at all. You are so loved; I’ll say it enough times to lose count."

Telling the truth and got punched anyway. 'Cause foreplay.

25-year anniversary of Real Me. And Harmony having minions.

Spike after being punched in the face by the love of his life, as is usual.

On this date, 24 years ago, one of the most unfairly maligned and markedly best seasons of Buffy premiered. Buffy was raised from the dead and left in her grave to claw her way to freedom. It was also established that Spike is Dawn's babysitter/protector.

Happy 24 years to Bargaining Pts 1 & 2

Elysian Fields turns 19 this October. We are celebrating with a themed event. This year's theme? Transformation.

Also, October 1 just happens to be the 22nd anniversary of the episode Beneath You. The episode in which Spike transforms her worldview just as much as he transformed himself.

When it comes to Buffy, Spike is always one step away from crashing to his knees. Stupid thing. (affectionate) (also iykyk)
