*sighs* That would be a nice future. Mine is pretty simple, I always liked the idea of them being all domestic, so a favorite for me would be Spike making breakfast in their kitchen, all shirtless. Buffy coming downstairs after waking up, she's wearing nothing but his shirt, and she wraps her arms around his waist, resting her head against his naked back. Of course he doesn't get startled because he sensed she was there, as he gives her a little squeeze in reciprocation. I just think that would be a sweet moment between them.
I imagine Buffy falling asleep on Spike's shoulder as they watch a movie together on the living room couch.
I imagine Buffy nagging at Spike for smoking inside and saying he should quit. Then rolling her eyes at the cigarette butts she finds in the back yard.
I imagine them sweetly making love. I imagine them being too demanding to make sweet love.
I imagine Spike caring for Buffy when she has the flu and still kissing her even though she's germy, has bed-hair and isn't exactly looking her best.
I imagine Buffy dancing seductively with Spike at a club, teasing him mercilessly until he can't take it anymore.
I imagine Spike rolling his eyes whenever the topic of Angel comes up and Buffy giving him the look - equal parts censure and apology.
My Spike *feels weak in the knees everytime Buffy smiles at him *loves to watch Buffy when she's sleeping *loves to pretend to be asleep when he knows that Buffy is watching him sleep (well, for a little while, at least...) *falls in love with her all over again every morning when their eyes meet for the first time *tucks a strand of Buffy's hair behind her ear at least once a day, and *never misses the opportunity to say how good her hair smells *always looks forward to the sparring matches with Buffy, not least because he *loves to rub her neck afterwards, which leads to her rubbing his muscles, and that leads to... *likes to grow onions and roses in the backyard garden that Buffy made for him for their anniversary
loves to watch Buffy when she's asleep It's something that he's certainly tempted to do on a regular basis.. A roses garden in the backyard is incredibly lovely. Your list has a romantic vibe that I like very much.:)
You know, I've read a lot of domestic Spuffy, and even have written some, but when I really think about how I want them to be in the future, it's not like that at all.
I always imagined them apart (please don't kill me for that), but at the same time together. Like, heading up separate Slayer operations in different parts of the world. And then, some apocalypse thing happens and brings them together. I have this image of Spike and some slayers having a war council or something and Buffy coming in and taking over, and all the other Slayers share a look at the obvious sexual tension between Spike and Buffy and also at how easily he falls into a sort of second in command place with her. And then each of them have some lover or boyfriend or almost lover who gets upset when they notice how Spike and Buffy act around each other, instinctively knowing that they'd never measure up, and never be able to come between what they have

I always imagined them apart Like I said , we can picture them living together or not. ;) No killing planned.:grins: And the interesting thing is our different views of the pairing.
Your image of them thrown together ready for battle is very fine by me . each of them have some lover or boyfriend or almost lover who gets upset when they notice how Spike and Buffy act around each other. They wouldn't be the only one being upset! ;)This might go on the far edge of my comfort zone
I do love my Spuffy messy and complicated but in a post NFA world I dream of a little bit of peace and healing. :) And don't forget that domestic!bliss is only a tiny part of their adventurous life!
I've thought about writing it, but I always imagined some actual plot around that scene, and you know how I am with plot. It tends not to exist in my fic. ;)
aisalynn's version is probably closest to my own. I don't imagine post-NFA Spuffy being very domestic... they are happiest together when they are kicking ass and basking in the afterglow. Maybe they live together all the time, or maybe they live far apart but live for the moments where they're in the same place. I can see them having a loving, long-term relationship, but not kids. (Although I could see them adopting someone else's kids if said someone else died in the line of fire.)
That said, I do like to read pretty much everyone else's versions of Spuffy... ;)
I think there can be a mixture of domestic and angsty. Isn't that kinda what Spuffy is at its heart? Buffy and Spike hanging out in his cozy crypt, drinking together (how cute are they?) and all.
I guess I have read one too many fics in which Spike suddenly turns into Emeril Lagasse/an interior decorator and starts educating Buffy on the merits of sheers in window dressing while preparing a souffle. As they say... not my kink.

The image of Buffy dancing seductively at a club until he surrenders is just...drool-worthy and makes me dizzy with delight
I love your list!
