My contributions for the Seasonal Spuffy School Hard weekend
Most people wil have seen them already over at seasonal_spuffy already, but for completeness' sake I'm posting them to my journal too.
A set of icons plus banner/wallpaper based on one of my old Noel of Spike icons from a couple of years ago:
There's a wallpaper version too (1920x1080).
And then a short but slow moving vid, thrown together at the very last minute:
NOTE: The song is "Falling" by Julee Cruise from the Twin Peaks soundtrack. It sounds both romantic and ominous and creepy. I think those last properties make it very suitable for School Hard, where (let's be honest) Spike is creepily stalking Buffy. "Are we falling in love?" the song asks. (Yes, it's a question, not a statement. The "are we" bit is just not very well audible in the lyrics.) The answer as I see it is no, not then and there. Not yet. Certainly not Buffy, although she's clearly fascinated and intrigued by Spike. Spike, on the other hand, is definitely falling for her, but at this stage it's lust and obsession he's falling into, not love. And he would probably have denied even this at the time. Still, this is where it all starts -- the Spuffy seed is being planted.
