title: A Trip Down Memory Lane creator: Double Dutchess era/season: all seasons, incl. comics rating: G format: slide show
More than a decade after they first met, Buffy and Spike are getting married! They present a sanitized version of their love story to their newer acquaintances, to prepare them for the wedding.
Title: Spike | My Favourite Game Creator: Double Dutchess Era/season: Seasons 2 to 7 Rating: worksafe “Spike/Other”/”Buffy/Other”: brief Spike/Drusilla and Buffy/Angel
So, this vid wasn’t made specifically for Seasonal Spuffy but falls squarely into the category of “something I’ve been working on, but haven’t posted”. It’s a Fandom Trumps Hate 2021 (!) gift for thewiggins . I recently finished it, but have waited until now with making it public. Huge thanks go to thewiggins for the vid idea and for their immense patience while I took my time working on the vid!
Title: 7 deadly sins Creator: Double Dutchess Era/season: Seasons 4 to 6 and 10 Rating: worksafe “Spike/Other”: Spike and his date from Hells Bells in #6
My contribution doesn’t exactly match this round’s theme, but it was inspired by it. Specifically, by the hell part, which for some reason led my mind to the seven deadly sins (which I suppose have the potential to land you in hell, according to Christian teachings).
So I made seven banners, each illustrating one of the sins in connection to Spuffy. Some were more challenging than others! Below, I’ve ordered them according to Buffy and Spike’s journey through time. If anyone wants any of these re-purposed as a fic banner, just let me know.
1. Wrath
There are other scenes I could have chosen for this one, but I wanted to keep things lighthearted.
Title: Obsessed With You Creator: thenewbuzwuzz Rating: worksafe Summary: this short Spike POV video is a tribute to two flavors of early Spuffy: best enemies in denial and Spike’s feral gremlin era. The Spuffy ride wouldn’t be nearly as fun without these humble beginnings and unhinged detours. :’)
Notes: happy Seasonal Spuffy, everyone!! Sorry about overshooting midnight. I made this in Kdenlive using the HD eps from hdbuffy.tumblr.com and roughly following marnanightingale’s cutting and syncing tutorial. Thank you to the ever-lovely thewiggins for beta-watching this on short notice and pointing out that I had unintentionally implied Buffy has 1 (one) friend.
Title: Spuffy Abridged Creator: Double Dutchess Era/season/setting: All of ’em! Rating: Same as the show (I guess that’s R?). Expect an overview of ALL of Spuffy, not just the highs but also including the lows. Notes: This vid was inspired by the classic Buffy the Vampire Slayer Abridged vid by Rowena. A Spuffy version seemed to fit the “Celebrating 25 Years” theme pretty well.
I’m sorry if your favourite scene hasn’t been included; it’s hard to cram 11 seasons of Spuffy into less than 2 minutes, so some sacrifices had to be made. Thumbnail clipart (film reel) is from pixabay, the rest of the credits are at the end of the vid!

Title: Did You Ever Know Author: violettapirateq Era/season/setting: Season 4, post-Something Blue Rating: PG
The torches on the walls continued as Buffy entered the first cavernous room. They only cast a dim glow, but they were bright enough for Buffy to see a door at the other end of the room with something that looked like a scoreboard above it. One of those really old school ones that baseball stadiums used to have in like the 50s… or whatever time period hadn’t had electricity yet.
Title: Did You Ever Know Author: violettapirateq Era/season/setting: Season 4, post-Something Blue Rating: PG
Does anyone know how and when Spike and the Scoobies actually find out that the Initiative gave Spike a chip? In “Something Blue” he’s still calling it a spell, and I don’t recall a scene where Riley sits down with him and explains everything. With that in mind, writing a story and NOT referring to it as chip was difficult, let me tell you.
Thanks to everyone who said they were excited to see this, that made me happy!! Like my other entry this is pretty fluffy, somewhat angsty, but also just a quick little Spuffy adventure that probably shouldn’t be taken all that seriously. Thanks for reading!
Title: We’ve Got To Stop Meeting Like This Author: slaymesoftly Era: AU season four Rating: Probably R No warnings, beta by all4spike Not complete yet – will probably have to link to my own journal for the remainder if I don’t get it up by tonight. Summary: This story continues in the AU world created in P.S. You Suck, and continued in Friendly Enemies. Both were Seasonal Spuffy entries for the past few seasons, so this is a follow up for this spring season. It’s been a progression from enemies who’d had a truce and communicated through the US mail, to much friendlier enemies when one shows up to assist Buffy (if she needs it!) with her Cruciamentum, to even friendlier enemies who’ve become pen pals who exchange the occasional phone call. Spike is now someone Joyce trusts to have Buffy’s back if/when she needs it.
Title:Dear Friend (2/?) Author: JustWriter2 Summary/Teaser: In a tale as old as inked parcels, Buffy writes to a normal penpal she falls for. Except, he’s not normal and she hates him; right? Era/Season/Setting: late 1990s, early 2000s / ~ Seasons 2 -> 5 / Sunnydale, California Warnings: referenced Spike/other and Buffy/other to begin with (tamer than the show) AN: Hi all! Here’s the 2nd installment. I finally got the second chapter to where I wanted it! I welcome constructive criticism from all of you. This banner was made by the wonderful teragramm.

Title: Tutor Author: Holly Setting: Season 4, shortly after Something Blue Rating: NC-17 Word Count: 28k, complete Special Thanks: bewilde, Niamh, Behind Blue Eyes for betaing, teragramm for the awesome banner. Summary: Buffy has a certain set of skills: staking vampires, slaying demons, preventing the apocalypse, and chasing off men after a single night. That last thing could stand being crossed off her list. Fortunately, she knows just the man—err, vamp—to help. Note: I’ll be posting the first three parts today and the following parts on EF and AO3.
