4 Reasons Why Spike and Buffy Deserve Each Other
I. Buffy. She's spunky and lethal.
I'm cookie dough. I'm not done baking. I'm not finished becoming whoever the hell it is I'm gonna turn out to be. I make it through this, and the next thing, and the next thing, and maybe one day I turn around and realize I'm ready. I'm cookies. And then, you know, if I want someone to eat— or enjoy warm, delicious cookie me, then... that's fine. That'll be then. When I'm done.
II. Spike. He's, well, Spike.
We like to talk big, vampires do. I'm going to destroy the world. That's just tough guy talk. Strutting around with your friends over a pint of blood. The truth is, I like this world. You've got – the dog racing, Manchester United, and you've got people: billions of people walking around like Happy Meals with legs. It's all right here. But then someone comes along with a vision, with a real passion for destruction. Angel could pull it off. Goodbye Piccadilly, farewell Leicester bloody Square.
III. The Angst. It's a complicated love/hate relationship. Emphasis on the hate.
Spike: Buffy-
Buffy: can't understand why this is killing me, can you?
Spike: Why don't you explain it? Come on, that's it, put it on me. Put it all on me. That's my girl.
Buffy: I am not your girl! You don't... have a soul! There is nothing good or clean in you. You are dead inside! You can't feel anything real! I could never... be your girl!
Spike: You always hurt... the one you love, pet. 
Buffy: "You want something nicer? Look at my poor neck. All bare and tender and exposed... all that blood just pumping away..."
Giles: "Oh, please."
Spike: "Giles, make her stop." 
Buffy: "Oh, ugh..."
Spike: "Oh, bloody hell!"
Buffy: "Spike lips! Lips of Spike!" 
Spike: Beneath me... I'll show her. Put her six bloody feet beneath me. Hasn't got a death wish? Bitch won't need one. 
IV. There is something there.
Now, you listen to me. I’ve been alive a bit longer than you. And dead a lot longer than that. I’ve seen things you couldn’t imagine - done things I’d prefer you didn’t. I don’t exactly have a reputation for being a thinker. I follow my blood. Which doesn’t exactly rush in the direction of my brain. I've made a lot of mistakes. A lot of wrong bloody calls. A hundred plus years and there’s only one thing I’ve ever been sure of. You. 
Spike: "Uh... I do remember what I said. The promise. To protect her. If I had done that... even if I didn't make it... you wouldn't have had to jump. But I want you to know I did save you. Not when it counted, of course, but... after that. Every night after that. I'd see it all again... do something different. Faster or more clever, you know? Dozens of times, lots of different ways... Every night I save you." 
Buffy: "We're not all gonna make it. You know that."
Spike: "Yeah. Hey. Always knew I'd go down fightin'."
Buffy: "I'm counting on you... to protect her."
Spike: "Till the end of the world. Even if that happens to be tonight."
Buffy: "I'll be a minute."
Spike: "Yeah. I know you'll never love me. I know that I'm a monster. But you treat me like a man. And that's... Get your stuff, I'll be here." 
Buffy: I love you.
Spike: No, you don't. But thanks for saying it.

Spike and Buffy did deserve each other...
I love the scene in the finale, the night before the "big day" when she goes to the basement and they just stare at each other. Or when Spike is jealous because Angel came back. Or when she calls him a "champion"...
I miss BtVS.

Gah, there are so many epic Spuffy scenes. I miss them.

And Buffy/Spike >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Buffy/Angel.
All the way. ♥ to you for making this. SO MUCH ♥.

♥ I'm glad you liked it.

At first, they seemed so opposite and that is what made them great. They changed for each other. They understood each other's pain. The love/hate feeling they had for each other added so much dynamics both on the show and Buffy herself too.

I think Fool for Love is my favourite Buffy/Spike ep, because it pretty much encompasses all their different dynamics and everything I love about them.

Exactly. ♥ They deserve each other like no one else. Thanks!

But Spike is just... did you ever watch Angel? He had this amazing dialogue:
Spike: [as Rachel] How can I thank you, you mysterious black-clad hunk of a night thing?
Spike: [as Angel] No need, little lady, your tears of gratitude are enough for me. You see, I was once a badass vampire, but love and a pesky curse defanged me. And now, I'm just a big, fluffy puppy with bad teeth. No, not the hair. Never the hair.
Spike: [as Rachel] But there must be some way I can show my appreciation?
Spike: [as Angel] No, helping those in need's my job, and workin' up a load of sexual tension and prancing away like a magnificent poof is truly thanks enough.
Spike: [as Rachel] I understand. I have a nephew who's gay, so...
[gasps]
Spike: [as Angel] Say no more. Evil's still afoot. And I'm almost out of that nancy-boy hair-gel I like so much. Quickly, to the Angel-mobile, away.
so much love.

Spike: "The last time I looked in on you two, you were fighting to the death. Now you're back at making googly eyes at each other like nothing happened. Makes me want to heave."
Buffy: "I don't know what you're talking about."
Spike: "Oh yeah, you're just friends."
Angel: "That's right."
Spike: "You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love 'till it kills you both. You'll fight, and you'll shag, you'll hate eachother 'till it makes you quiver but you'll never be friends. Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside of you to work it's will. I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it."
(I know it's not spuffy, but it's an awesome Spike quote)

My all-time Whedonverse OTP. I always loved how these two complemented each other; even during the enemies period, they were awesome together. (Well, at the time it was more like Spike's awesome rubbed off on Buffy's whine, but it worked.)
Definitely time to get a rewatch going one of these days...
Great job on this picspam! :D

I linked to your picspam here (http://sucksucksmile.livejournal.com/72131.html) in this epic picspammy pimping post I did one night when I wasn't sleeping.
I love this spam, theyre relationship is so twisted at times but its deep and has so many levels.
Compared to the one dimensional relationship between Buffy and Angel.
Its like they're paper dolls compared to the dynamics between Buffy and Spike.
