Notes:

    • Inspired heavily by the London Grammar song Sights.
    • This is a very personal story and a lot of people helped me out with it along the way. My very great thanks go to angearia for looking over an early version, torrilin for answering my questions about huskies, and yavannie82 and bewilde for excellent and comprehensive betaing, through which they have made this fic so tight it could float. Bottomless appreciation also to kylathelurker for a superlative alpha-read, cultural input and seemingly unending support and enthusiasm. They all helped me make this as good and as accurate as possible – any remaining mistakes are my own.
    • Further thanks to my lovely, generous and incredibly talented artistswolveswithhats, kylathelurker and bewilde who have produced some truly stunning illustrations for this story. Their art is indexed and credited below. Some pics are still on their way, however, so keep an eye out :) If you enjoy their work along with mine, I hope you will remember to let them know.
    • This story is now also available on AO3 and EF.
    • Constructive criticism is always welcome, and in fact encouraged. Enjoy!

Gif Requests Filled, Part Three

Oops, coming in a bit late even for Pacific time, but I wanted to get these up.

For spuffy_noelle who said: I love what you did with the Thanksgiving gifs where you made it like Buffy was talking to Spike in a scene where she actually wasn’t. If you could do something else like that? I hadn’t remixed gifs this way before but it’s addictive…

Gif Requests Filled, Part One

On my posting day I asked for gif requests and today I’ll be sharing the results! I hope you’ll check them out even if you haven’t requested anything, there were some great prompts all around.

First up are a pair of lovely S7 moments.

For frayadjacent who said: I’d love to see one showing the look they exchange when Buffy rescues Spike at the end of “Showtime”. A definite top Spuffy moment for me. :)

For debris4spike, a personalized icon and gif from the bedroom scene at the end of Touched. (Plus a non-personalized icon up for grabs.)

Christmas Cards!

So I was going to make a Spuffy Barbie wall calendar, but it turned out to be a disaster, so for my day I am going to salvage what I can from the mess and I give you two Spuffy Christmas cards in small and large sizes for your all your Spuffy Christmas carding needs!

If you are mad enough, print them out A4, fold along the lines and send them to your friends and family! Watch them run for the hills swell with the spirt of the season (Stolichnaya for me please)!

Fingers crossed these work:

S6 Gifs for kudagirl and Gillo

Wow, today was BUSY. But seeing all your comments about favorite spuffy moments honestly helped me get through! I’ve managed to fill a couple of your requests this evening, and the rest will be up on Dec 15.

Thanks to kudagirl for being first to request!
“Would you be able to do one from the scene in Flooded where Buffy is on the back porch and Spike arrives to talk to her. I just love how she smiles at him when he jokes with her. “
