Buffy in an Initiative briefing looking hella cute in her coral halter

Buffy looking at Spike

Buffy promising Maggie Walsh she doesn't know what a slayer is

26 years ago, Buffy demonstrated that halters are appropriate patrol attire.

She also gave a bad-ass speech to the woman who tried to kill her.

Right before she and Spike shared a completely normal look between enemies. Nope, nothing else there at all.

It's The I in Team.

Spuffy sitting together

Just a girl and her shadow.

Spike finding Dawn outside her house

Spike reading from Giles's journal that details Dawn's origins

Buffy confronting Spike about letting Dawn discover her origins

Spike comforting Buffy, assuring her they will find Dawn

25 years ago, Spike accompanied Dawn on a trip that would lead to her discovery of her origins, making this the second time a significant revelation about a Summers woman in his presence.

He then helped Buffy track her sister down, assuring her along the way that the outcome would be good.

Post coital Buffy smiling and chatting like they're a regular couple

Buffy and Spike about to christen the balcony at the Bronze

Spike comforting Buffy in her dream, in her bed, like a normal boyfriend

Buffy saying, "You always hurt the one you love," right after Spike told her the same, right after she hurt him.

24 years ago we got to see:

What a satisfied Buffy looks like.
What Buffy wanted in her heart of hearts: Spike in her bed with her, like a normal boyfriend.
What Charisma Carpenter describes as "hot" -- sex on a balcony

And Buffy's first soft confession of love.

Dead Things: a turning point

23 years ago, Buffy went to extraordinary lengths to help save Spike's life...again. This time from the chip that helped bring them closer together.

Because she believed he could be a good man.

And like in so many things, he proved her right.

Spuffy

It's Groundhog's Day and we're celebrating Spuffy. Again.

(and always. This is a feature, not a bug)

Buffy finding Spike immediately

Spuffy looking at each other

Spuffy standing next to each other

In honor of Groundhog Day, that time Buffy went outside and immediately saw her shadow.

Spuffy kiss

Chasing him down.

Three panel of Spuffy. Top: Smashed sex scene Middle: Something Blue engagement kiss Bottom: Spuffy trying to kill each other in Harsh Light of Day

✅️ Fuck
✅️ Marry
✅️ Kill

Superior ships are all three.

Spuffy in Gone with a caption from Twitter: beefing with my wife for sexual reasons

Pissing each other off is foreplay.

Spike studying the DMP menu

Buffy looking at Spike as he makes the offer

Spuffy going at it in the back of DMP

Spike swinging by DMP while Buffy's on shift

24 years ago, despite not being the only adult in the house, Buffy took a low-paying job to help keep the lights on and the roof all roofy. Spike offered to help (which, headcanon, is what those demon eggs were all about, but ANYWAY) and he ended up being the best way to take a work break.

Buffy looking at Spike in early S6

Somft. 🥹

Two panels; Spike needling Buffy on the top, Buffy looking amused but angry on the bottom. Captioned: as my first act of love, i'm going to ragebait you by @californut

The thing is it works.

Bangel interrupted while having a Very Serious Conversation

The Zeppo is a fun episode, even if ultimately a little underwhelming considering Xander's revelation and growth lasts until the start of the next episode, where he's reset to status quo. But it does deliver a wonderfully realistic view of how melodramatic and overwrought Bangel could be.

Spike identifying Giles even as a fyral demon

Spike driving Giles's car

Spike taking the Initiative on a ride

Buffy stabbing Giles, which honestly he deserves after Helpless.

26 years ago, Spike decided to help the Slayer's watcher despite being in a very real position to kill him.

Then let the Initiative chase him instead of Giles.

And Buffy demonstrated she knows her loved ones very well.

Happy 26 years of A NEW MAN!

Spike rocking his depression curls in Bargaining P1

Buffy in her depression overalls in Ted

Spike has depression curls. Buffy has depression overalls.

It's a thing.

Spike being charged with Dawn and Joyce's safety

Buffy telling Spike he's the only one strong enough to protect them

Spike and Joyce bonding over Passions

Buffy making it clear that NO INTERRUPTIONS

25 years ago, Buffy trusted the most important people in her life with Spike then went and delivered a badass speech that involved sword-throwing and absolutely no interruptions.

It honestly says a lot that she brought her mom and Dawn to a soulless demon who she has no reason to trust.

Solid choice!!

#TBT to this much deserved karmic moment after Buffy had the worst birthday ever*.

*yet 😭

Hand squeeze

Buffy and Spike exchanging a look after she called his old crypt "comfy" out loud

Buffy smirking at Spike

Spike smirking right back

23 years ago, we got some of the sexiest Spuffy to ever air, and none of it had to do with actual sex.

Happy 23 years of Potential, the episode that proved just how married these two idiots are.

Buffy reflecting on her victory, on Spike, and the world ahead of her

Happy birthday to Buffy Summers.

Character of all time.

Our Chosen One. Our General. Our Slayer.

She saved the world a lot.

And all of us while she was at it.

We love you almost as much as Spike does. And we're just as normal about it.

Spike in Xander's clothes after he shrunk his own

Spike learning he can fight demons

Riley's Balls poster

Spike trying to get Xander and Willow to go out and kick a little demon ass. For puppies and...Christmas

26 years ago, Spike hit his lowest point...Xander's clothing.

But he also discovered the chip didn't prevent him from hurting demons, or trying on bad American accents.

And Spike wanted to celebrate his newfound ability to kill demons by becoming the Slayer.

Happy 26 years of Doomed.

When given the chance, she'll feel him up right back.

Buffy and Spike in Wrecked, their first morning after

"Like you're god's gift."

Spuffy standing side by side looking disgusted/confused

When you're so in sync and you don't even notice.

Spike comforting Buffy paired with the tweet from @yettixbandz: Im here Bae if u need oral support I mean moral support

He is exceptionally skilled at both. 😏

Even alone, he is such a whore (positive) (affectionate) (complimentary)

We're here for Spikespreading.
