Okay, after MONTHS of watching Buffy, I finally finished the show! Not gonna lie, when I first started I was already biased towards this couple thanks to Sylvia/
spillingbliss's stanning but ultimately I think I still would have ended up falling in love with this ship. How could I not? I loved their entire relationship. Spike was a breath of fresh air compared to Angel's brooding and boring self, and right from the beginning he had an insane chemistry with Buffy (even though he was trying to kill her lol). His and Buffy's explosive love/hate relationship thorough the series kept me glued to my screen and it ended up being one of my favorite things about the show. I loved how their arc ended, they had several ups and downs but' in the end, they found peace within each other. They were two sides of the same coin, they were equals. Spike understood Buffy in a way no one else did, and Buffy did the same with Spike.
ALSO, HOTTEST COUPLE OF BTVS. I DARE YOU TRY TO DENY THIS. You can feel the heat between them, although technically as a vampire, he's room temperature.
The cover art was made by my partner in crime, the incredible Mary/
darlingheart. Leave all compliments to her :)
01. An End Has a Start | Editors (
*) (Spike and Buffy)
You lose everything / By the end
Still my broken limbs / You find time to mend
More and more people / I know are getting ill
Pull something good from / The ashes now be still
02. Help, I'm Alive | Metric (
*) (Buffy)
I tremble, they're gonna eat me alive
If I stumble they're gonna eat me alive
Can you hear my heart beating like a hammer?
Beating like a hammer
03. Dangerous Animals | Arctic Monkeys (
*) (Spike)
The way you keep me in pursuit
Sharpen the heel of your boot
And you press it to my chest and you make me wheeze
Then to my knees you do promote me
I'm pinned down by the dark
04. Separate and Ever Deadly | The Last Shadow Puppets (
*) (Spike and Buffy)
No matter how vicious the grief
Her expression was damp and crooked
Grabbed onto my throat and won’t let go
05. Length of Love | Interpol (
*) (Spike)
But we went through with these
Oh we're shifting the heartache
We want strong summer love, the most robust of blood
Just to stay awake
06. Ready to Start | Arcade Fire (
*) (Buffy)
I would rather be wrong
Than live in the shadows of your song
My mind is open wide
And now I'm ready to start
07. Numb | Marina and the Diamonds (
*) (Buffy)
Oh, I get dark oh and I'm in hell
I need a friend, oh but I can't yell
I got dark only to shine
08. The Cave | Mumford & Sons (
*) (Spike)
But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
09. Bite Hard | Franz Ferdinand (
*) (Buffy)
No I never resort
To kissing your photo - honest
I just had to see
How the chemicals taste there honey
Bite hard
10. Dark Shines | Muse (
*) (Spike and Buffy)
Dark shines
Bringing me down
Making my heart feel sore
Because it's good
11. Sunburn | Muse (
*) (Spike)
She burns like the sun, and I can't look away
I'll hide from the world behind a broken frame
And I'll burn forever, I can't face the shame
12. Silent War | A Fine Frenzy (
*) (Buffy)
We fought a silent war
In the hardware store and the air was thick as paint
Though I carried it on, I knew that I was wrong
But I fight when I'm afraid
13. Perth| Bon Iver (
*) (Spike)
Still alive for you, love
Still alive for you, love
Still alive for you, love
14. Twin Flames | Klaxons (
*) (Spike and Buffy)
Double halves of wholeness / Find the missing equal sign
Double halves of wholeness / Now return to intertwine
Spirals turn the fire in us / Instants synchronise
Joining us a second love / We harmonise in time
