This entire post = WIIIIIINNN.

Mostly because the idea of Buffy going all googly-eyed over Spike while he’s too busy taking care of business to notice is the most hysterical thing ever.

I KNOW RIGHT. THEY'RE SO BAD AT COMMUNICATING. MY KIIIIIIDS.

Where do the strong go when they need to be weak? Buffy goes to Spike, where she’s safe to be herself and to rest. I LOVE IT.

I LOVE IT TOO. As you know, I am ALL ABOUT "I can be alone with you here", so this "dark place" line pretty much makes my life complete. I don't really get how it can be seen as a BAD thing either. Buffy and Spike are Buffy and Spike because their respect each other's aloneness. It's so much more poignant (and meaningful) than some conventional romantic relationship where they're shouting their love to the skies. Um, no.

they are wearing the same colors. I LOVE when they do that. Like in OMWF where they look so good in red together.

OMG YOU ARE SO RIGHT. I LOVE it when my ships do this. OTP. Ugh.

They’re so very comfortable and casual with each other—Spike laying back with his hands behind his head, Buffy leaning her chin on her folded arms on the back of the chair. I could watch them like this forever.

Oh, right there with you. It makes me sigh like a sap. WHATEVER I EXIST ON BREADCRUMBS OKAY.

Spike is closer to Buffy because he refused to respect her boundaries and had to learn how to pull back, to not be so close to her, skin to skin, shadow to shadow.

YES. This is such a great insight. And SO much more interesting than all those other relationships in which the two people have to make an effort to try and get in the other person's head; Buffy and Spike have to make an effort NOT to get too close.

“My hero.” Apparently, Scott Allie wrote that line. Mr. Allie, I take back every mean thing I ever said about you. LOOK AT YOU, EMBRACING THE GENDER REVERSALS.

I take back every bad thought I ever thought about the guy. Because FUCK YES GENDER REVERSAL HELLO I LIVE FOR IT.

Basically, this issue just made me 'awww' the entire way through. My ship KILLED IT, YO.

I can't even get worked up about the assassination of Angel anymore. That's not my guy. End.
