Toxic

I had a lot of fun compiling my post-series Spuffy ff lists so I decided to put one together for Something Blue inspired fic. Many thanks to the @elysianfieldsarchive members who helped me find their favorites.

my bestie and I always talk about this, and we've developed such a big hc that it's become so ingrained in our minds that even acknowledging that it's not canonically real at that level in the show is really hard for us lol

the concept of the two of them being the only characters in the entire show who always supported buffy without judging her in the slightest, uniting for that very reason at first and discovering that despite their differences in personality and points of view about certain situations, they have so many more things in common than they thought, and above all, they enjoy each other's company without needing to always talk, sometimes silence is just as comfortable for both of them

spike would tell her stories about the things he'd seen throughout his unlife and ask for advice on what gifts or sweet treats he could get buffy for a special occasion

tara would be so sweet to spike, as well as teasing him with tenderness and sarcasm, adding him to the club of people around whom she doesn't feel the nervous anxiety that makes her stutter

sometimes the two of them would simply sit in a room lit with candles and incense in silence, spike reading and writing nonsensical and cheesy drafts of poems about buffy that he would probably never allow anyone but tara to read while she cleaned her crystals or learned new spells, they would understand each other in a very special way because of how different they both are, being the typical example of opposites attracting, and that doesn't have to be in a romantic way, but rather in a beautiful friendship

they would love to play-fight about who buffy's favorite is and who she should go out with first, whether to have coffee with tara or to patrol with spike

she was always the only one to support their relationship, and that support would only grow stronger as she got to know him better, she would defend spuffy and spike with all her heart, remaining always loyal, so so so loyal, she would NEVER judge anything he did, she wouldn't agree with everything, obviously, but that would never be a justification for judging him

I tried to capture their facial expressions.

This Episode made me cry 😭
