caliente_ukI've changed my LJ colours again, to accommodate my beautiful new Spuffy banner and icon made by the wonderful ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

My love of Spuffy has never faltered, but it seems stronger than ever lately. I've been rewatching S5 and S6 on Sky One (yes, I know I have the DVDs, but I can't help myself) and I think I've fallen in love with the Spuffy relationship all over again. Watched as a whole, the last three seasons of the show make a beautiful love story. Yes, it's angsty, messy and painful, but that just makes it more interesting to me. I don't want to see a romantic, "happy ever after" love story. I want to see something real, something that will make me sit up and take notice...and Spuffy certainly did that.
I loved Spike from the moment I first saw him in S2. He made an impact from his first appearance, and he was so beautiful he made my heart melt. But I didn't necessarily like him. He was pure evil from the start, and it never even crossed my mind that Spike and Buffy could ever get together as a couple. But then he started to grow and change, and by S5 he had completely stolen my heart. Then came Fool for Love...and that was it. Myobsession with love of Spuffy was born and I've never looked back.
I'm not saying that I wouldn't have liked some things to have been different along the way (of course I would), but on the whole I was happy with the Spike/Buffy story we got. I know that lots of you don't feel that way (and I respect that), but it's how I feel. When I think of how far Spike and Buffy came from Spike's first appearance in S2, to the pain and heartache they had caused each other by the end of S6 (and I truly believe they were both equally to blame for the heartache of S6), to the love and trust they had for each other by the end of S7, my Spuffy heart can't help but be happy. From pure evil in S2, to Champion by the end of S7. What a journey it was! And I wouldn't have missed a second of it.
And post-NFA? My Spike and Buffy have found each other again. How could they not? :)
