Ten of my favorite Spuffy scenes
@roselightfairy asked about my top 5 "Buffy&Spike scenes? (However you choose to interpret that)". Ugh, too hard, you can have ten. No particular order.
"Becoming", the start of the truce (The character who entered the season as the Big Bad wants to help what now? And it WORKS, too. Buffy is determined and creative and open-minded enough to accept the offer, and they both reach their goals. They're smart strategic geniuses, and I love them.)
"Becoming", they're in a band (they're in cahoots and also hilarious)
"Triangle", "You want credit for not feeding on bleeding disaster victims?" (try again, fail again, fail better; the gulf of different experiences, values, assumptions that Spike's trying to cross is visible here)
"Fool for Love" porch scene (the hesitant movement of Spike's hand as he attempts to comfort her, moments after he meant to kill the heck out of her)
"Intervention" final scene, I guess - it's hard to pick only one scene from this episode.
"The Gift", the look on his face when she lets him into the house. "I know you'll never love me," but Earning Her Love is not the point anymore; but he's so thrilled to have her trust.
"Bargaining" part 2, protecting Dawn because he promised (though also because he likes Dawn and he enjoys being part of the Scoobies) and being a badass while he's at it. The little smile and "looked like fun" as he watches the demons trashing a house, and hijacking that motorbike from right under a demon the next moment to get Dawn to safety.
"Dead Things" dream sequence (so soft and a good time all round, but also with this delicious dark symbolic undercurrent of Buffy's anxieties about power and about the way she's been acting, tinged by the whole Katrina debacle)
"Hell's Bells", the moment they stop pretending they're fine and stop trying to hurt each other is everything
"Touched" cuddle, obviously.
