Let's go with the scene(s) in your fic that most recently just randomly occurred to me, which is the bit of Prism with Chao-Ahn. To me, the Spuffy in those scenes take a backseat to Chao-Ahn's incredible loneliness and isolation and Spike's radically changed relationship to Slayers, even Slayers that aren't Buffy. Her talking about all the things on her heart, and him listening even though he has no idea what she's saying; her working out from her dictionary what he said to her; what he said to her, and all the regret and change reflected in him saying them; the feeding of my always-hungry kink for unexpected moments of grace.
Like I say, I was just randomly thinking about this yesterday - in connection to S7, but I don't remember why. Bits from your fics just pop into my head sometimes, as yummy writing is prone to do. :)
