Emmie, as I told you elsewhere, these are just the cutest things ever. ;D Will you keep 'shipping Spike/Buffy if it's made clear in the text that it's still one-sided?Well, if it's still one-sided, I don't see why I would ever have trouble with it. The still means that it's remained the same. But the question now is 'Does Spike still love Buffy?" and "Did Buffy mean it when she said she loved Spike?" I'm still shipping Spuffy and I'm curious to see how it will play out in Season 8 when he does appear. I imagine it will happen in a way that encourages me to continue to feel for them. Then again, I never felt it really was one-sided. Not completely. Granted when Spike was in love with Buffy, Buffy was largely incapable of feeling that deeply. But there's always been a strong connection and there's always been attraction. So it's never been one-sided for me. Do you think Angel and Spike will show up in different Season 8 issues, or in the same one?I get the feeling that their paths will cross in Season 8, but that they might not appear at the same time. Are there any other Whedonverse 'ships that remind you of Spike/Buffy?Buffy/Satsu does to a degree. Similarities certainly. The unrequited love for many seasons reminds me a bit of Wes/Fred and then finally declaring feelings only to have one of them die.

Will you keep 'shipping Spike/Buffy if it's made clear in the text that it's still one-sided?Sure. Season 5 when it was pretty much one-sided (at least in canon ) is the Golden Age of Spuffy. Do you think Angel and Spike will show up in different Season 8 issues, or in the same one?I think the most painful option is the second. So, knowing Joss... Are there any other Whedonverse 'ships that remind you of Spike/Buffy?S 4-5 Spuffy reminds a lot early Xander/Cordelia snark. S6 Spuffy reminds Wesley/Lilah. S7 Spuffy reminds Wesley/Fred.

Fic Rec! There's a wonderful new Spuffy author, Aisalynn. She just finished watching the entire series and only started writing Spuffy fic in the past few months. She's a must-read for Spuffy fans. A welcome breath of fresh air, especially considering how new she is. Tough Decisions by Aisalynn Characters/Pairing: Spike/Buffy Rating: PG Summary: This was war and Buffy already knew she had to make some hard decisions. Takes place right after Lies My Parents Told Me. Just a Little More Real by Aisalynn Characters/Pairings: Buffy, with a bit of Spuffy. Rating: PG13 A/N: A sort of character study, using a bit of philosophy from my classes. Awards: This story has been nominated at The Sunnydale Memorial Fanfiction Awards for Best Characterization (Buffy) and Best Gen Fic. Good Boy by Aisalynn Pairing: Spike/Buffy Rating: PG13 Summary: "Into bondage, are you, luv? Didn't think the Chosen One of all that is Good and Light would be into those sort of sex games." A/N: Just a small little ficlet that popped into my head and I couldn't resist. Would take place before Something Blue. Morning Routine by Aisalynn Pairing: Spike/Buffy Rating: PG13 Warnings: Mentions of the scene from Seeing Red. A/N: So, this was supposed to be an angsty little ficlet, but it got away from me and somehow became terribly fluffy. What You Need by Aisalynn Pairing: Spike/Buffy Rating: PG13 Word Count: 1712 A/N: Takes place after Dirty Girls. And written because that scene with Spike and Faith in the basement really annoyed me. Spark by Aisalynn Rating: R Characters: Spike, with some Spike/Buffy and a little Spike/Dru Warnings: Major references to the bathroom scene Seeing Red. A/N: So, I noticed that most of my fics were lacking the serious angst that I usually write, and I felt a serious need to write something depressing. So this is what came out. Written fairly quickly and unbetaed so it's pretty rough, but it really wasn't much more than an excuse to write a lot of angst and misery, so I'm not too concerned. I just read "Spark" which inspired me to come here and rec. Go read Aisalynn! She's awesome.

Okay, self-pimping here! I just wrote a new Spuffy fic. Spike writes a letter to Buffy before the final battle in Not Fade Away. Short and sweet angst. Rated G. Thought You Should Know

Very nice image Greer. Looks beautiful Now I may be mostly a Spike/Illyria shipper these days (second only behind Cangel) but there is a soft spot for Spuffy. They were a very nice couple throughout BTVS and its their relationship that I love the most about in Season 7. I hope Spike does appear in Season 8, because there is some issues that need resolving

He definitely needs to appear in S8. I will jump up and down once this happens. Spuffy is great; My favorite part about the relationship is how passionate it is. There's nothing dull or boring about it; they both need each other passionately, whether it be regarding love or hate, and whether either of them will admit it.
[Btw...1000th post! Weeeee!]

Will you keep 'shipping Spike/Buffy if it's made clear in the text that it's still one-sided?
Yes. I don't know if I'll ever stop shipping Spuffy. I'll probably be 85 reading fanfic and having thoughts about how great they are. I hope it doesn't end up one sided (but lets face it, even with just the copywrite problems, they won't end up together) but if it is I'll find a way to reason it away lol.
Do you think Angel and Spike will show up in different Season 8 issues, or in the same one?
Has it been confirmed that they're both going to show up? or either? Either way I kind of think both would have their benefits and for that reason I don't know what they'll do to be honest.
Are there any other Whedonverse 'ships that remind you of Spike/Buffy?
The most is probably season 6 vs wes/lilah. I see the other points people have made but that's always what I thought of.

I just read about a Joss Whedon quote from a San Diego con:
"Buffy was in love with Spike the moment their hands clasped"
That and what I've heard that Joss said in the Chosen commentary
"Also the commentary of Chosen by Joss whedon he says that both Sarah Michelle Gellar and James Marsters came at their final scene together wrong. They were both playing at the distruction of it and he explained that the music was going to fall out and that SMG should be in love with him she says she loves him and that he should be in love with her when he says she doesn't."
makes me believe that Buffy might end up with Spike. That has never really occured to me before.
I always assumed that she either said it to be nice(that the shine in her eyes was because she found a way to make him happy) or that she said it because she did love him, but not in a "I want to be together with you way" more like a "we've been througha lot and maybe we could be real good friends".
But now, this changes things. "in love" is a relative term but it implies that it's more than friendship-love. Maybe she does love Spike more than Angel? I never really saw it as a possibility before.
Now I really want Spike & Buffy to date. It took me years to get used to the idea of Buffy & Spike together(season 6 did so not help) but after a while I really wanted them to go out a few times, see what would happen. And now I really want Spike in season 8 or 9, just to see what would happen. Even if she only love him for that moment specifically, there could be a spark.
That she was more turned towards Angel in the Angel/Spike/Buffy comics panel doesn't necassarily mean that she'll end up with Angel.

I love Spuffy. Not sure what it is exactly about the ship that I like so much, though. Couldn't stand the Bangel in S1-3, thought it was so boring, Riley was always kinda 'meh', but Spike/Buffy - yay I've been following the comics to a certain degree, but even if they never meet again in the canon, well - there's always fanon and fanfic, right?

If you're interested, Emmie has written some super awesome Spuffy fanfic that makes you think that they'll actually end up together! All I want in the comics is for Buffy & Spike to meet up again and for them to at least have a conversation about their feelings for each other...hopefully they're still present.

Heh, I'm pretty much addicted to fanfic. Actually it was reading Emmie's fic that got me over here - she friended me on LJ, I went to look at her LJ, read the fic - loved it - and then saw the link to here in her profile. Anyway... someone linked me to this awesome Spuffy video yesterday. It's sad

Oh, then Emmies house should probably get points or something.
Anyone else remember that system, if you "lured" someone in your house got points?
Do we have houses? Am I imagining this?

Naw, you're not imagining it! I was in Drogyndor, I believe. I just don't think that we have the threads for them anymore.

That's a great video, xaphania! I love the way the artist interposed the Spuffy scenes on the clips from The Return.

Wow, Xaphania.
I loved that video! I didn't really care for the song that accompanied it, but the video was just breathtaking. I love how the artist intermixed so many scenes, especially at the end, when SMG is standing in the barn and Spike's face appears behind her.
Thanks for sharing!

That's a pretty cool video. There was this one video I found a few years ago, set to Celine Dion's 'My Heart Will Go On'. It was a very awesome video. Made me feel fuzzy inside. Then stupid youtube removed it....anyhow, I would like to see Buffy and Spike meet up in either season eight or nine, though I'm a little conflicted if I want to see them together again cuz I'm a Spillyria shipper as well

Does anyone have any Spuffy fic recs? Don't really mind what season, or whether it's canon or all-human or AU... just something good to read.

xaphania, I'll rec you to the Queen of Recs - Moscow Watcher. Check here to see all her fic recs which are very conveniently listed for you with pairings, warnings and descriptions. And a new personal favorite author of mine is Aisalynn - here's all her Spuffy works. Also have you checked out the new Seasonal Spuffy round indexed here? Ok, that should put you on Spuffy overload. Hopefully that was helpful.
