Some Spuffy (and B/A) thoughts....

[elisi]

We watched 'Bad Eggs' the night before last (Darcy said lets watch Buffy, I said which one, and he got impatient, pulled out a random disk from a random DVD box and said the fourth one on this. Which was 'Bad Eggs'.)

Aaaaanyway, the B/A scenes are all schmoop and kisses and they're just so sweet and tragic (c'mon! Who hasn't been in love and felt like that?). This scene especially just kills me:

ANGEL: (swallows) You really don't care what happens a year from now? Five years from now?
BUFFY: Angel, when I look into the future, a-a... all I see is you! All I want is you.
ANGEL: I know the feeling.
He reaches down to kiss her. He finds her lips and she responds. They kiss more and more passionately. The camera pans away from them and across a gravestone that reads 'In Loving Memory'.

The next episode is 'Surprise'... And the thing is, even though Angel will come back from hell and all that, they will *never* be as happy together as they are in this episode (or OK, the end of the next one, but you know what I mean). Ever. They get to the top and then it's all downhill - they can never get back up.

But Spike/Buffy - that's a different thing altogether. Their story *ends* at the top - it starts out ugly and messy and twisted and slowly, slowly gets more beautiful.

So although I want Spike and Buffy to end up together, in a way it doesn't matter. Because their ending was perfect.

Finally I'm going to share this song from stoney321's Buffy Playlist, because it is the *perfect* song for their last scene: Brighter Than Sunshine.

Brighter Than Sunshine

I never understood before
I never knew what love was for
My heart was broke, my head was sore
What a feeling

Tied up in ancient history
I didn't believe in destiny
I look up you're standing next to me
What a feeling

What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
Brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, I don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine
and it's brighter than sunshine

I never saw it happening
I'd given up and given in
I just couldn't take the hurt again
What a feeling

I didn't have the strength to fight
suddenly you seemed so right
Me and you
What a feeling

What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
It's brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, I don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine

It's brighter than the sun
It's brighter than the sun
It's brighter than the sun, sun, shine.

Love will remain a mystery
But give me your hand and you will see
Your heart is keeping time with me

What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
It's brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, I don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine

I got a feeling in my soul ...

Just read it, 'K?)

Yes, ma'am. *g*

I'm not against shipping them; I just can't seem to go there myself much anymore. I find that when I want to write in the Bverse now, it's either gen or something else (like I'm working on for the Hellmouth ficathon.) Maybe someday, I'll come back to them.

You will not regret it, trust me! (By rights, nothing ought to be that hot *and* perfect. *sigh*)

I just can't seem to go there myself much anymore.
Ah well that's a different matter. I've only written one proper long Spuffy story, all the rest of my fic being gen/Spike&Angel friendship stuff. Oh and the Spuffy story had lots of Spike&Angel in it too... heh. Anyway I've just started the sequel which is more about Spike & Angel, even though it'll feature S/B too. Must try to do something interesting with them!
