SPIKE: I'm a hero really. I mean, to be cast such an ugly lot in life and then to rise above it. To seek out better, nobler things. It's inspirational, isn't it? And the two of us... natural enemies, thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness. Utter trust. No thought of me biting you, no thought of you staking me.
BUFFY: Depends on how long you keep on yapping.

wesley always relating to women (fred, lilah and faith), but trying to emulate men (angel) as a defense mechanism is so interesting to me by sslayerettes
i don’t like lilah like at all but the scene where shes says to wesley „If I thought you‘d ever trust me, I would have never played you like that“ was actually kind of heartbreaking by prophecygirly
do you ever wonder how much buffy’s confusion/disgust at spike trying to kiss her in fool for love was more about her being in a relationship at the time by slugessence, kazf0x
i cannot believe [Buffy] did not launch the “does spike like me??” investigation after fool for love by blush-and-books
we know that Giles left Sunnydale in season six because the actor wanted some time off [...] wouldn’t it have been cool to really use the opportunity to play around? by femmedefandom
once thing i love about anya and spike is technically, they understand each other within the group dynamic more than the others by socratesgirlnextdoor
I really appreciate the character of Joyce from BTVS by antiqueowl
wesley and faith f*cked up watcher/slayer dynamic will always be fascinating to me and i wish we had seen more of it by sslayerettes

ANYA: Anya Christina Emanuella Jenkins, twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July, and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. "Who's our little patriot?" they'd say, when I was younger, and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

WILLOW: It says that Meredith and two other girls in the car were killed instantly. They were all on the Fondren High Pep Squad, on the way to a game.
BUFFY: You know what this means.
XANDER: That Fondren might actually beat Sunnydale in the cross-town body count competition this year?
BUFFY: She wasn't killed by vampires. Somebody did dig up her corpse.
CORDELIA: Eww! Why is it that every conversation you people have has the word 'corpse' in it?

FAITH: (mumbling) Scratch you out...
FRED: She's not making any sense.
LORNE: And speaking of sense, have you gone on permanent sabbatical from yours? Tell me you did not shoot that girl full of junk, and then feed her to Angelus.
WESLEY: It was her choice. Faith knew the risks.
LORNE: Aw, she couldn't! (Fred glares at them, then quieter) Wesley, I know what that drug does to people. Especially when they super-size the doses to make sure they really get the job done. And you damn well know it too.
