Title : I want the fire back
Creator : Miss Kitty
"You are full of love. You love with all your soul. It's brighter than the fire... blinding." - First Slayer to Buffy (season 5)
I always particularly liked the fire metaphor when it comes to Buffy and love. The way the first slayer chose to word it by saying that her love was "brighter than the fire". When Buffy said she wanted "the fire back" in Once More, With Feeling. Spike who describes great love as something that "burns and consumes" in Seeing Red. And of course, the final scene in Chosen, in which Buffy metaphorically got the fire back, when she opens herself to (romantic) love again. I thought it was a beautiful theme regarding their relationship, so here's a banner about it :)
