Welcome to SPUFFYARCHIVE, a blog dedicated to the Spuffy ship (Spike and Buffy) from the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003). Here we hope to share our favorite Spuffy fanfictions and help promote talented writers within the fandom.

You’ll find an organized masterlist for easy navigation (by season, genre, category, and more). Fics will be posted gradually, but in the meantime, feel free to check out the masterlist which will be continuously updated here (on desktop). 

All the fics in the masterlist, as well as the ones posted, have been read by one or both of us. However, please feel free to share your recommendations with us, as well as any other content related to fics (such as fan art, gifs, manips, etc). 

Signal boosts are appreciated ♡ Gia & Charlie

It's all fun and games and laughing at BookTok until you can't get on AO3 anymore, as someone who likes both romance and fanfic.

"I'm an english lit major and all I did was turn my love of the written word into a completely indoctrinated judge of "worth" that I can use to mock other people like a complete jackass"

[jabberwockypie]

The fact the person being QT'd here is using their English major to claim some authority here is actually hilarious.

[elysianholly]

The people who hide behind their majors to espouse nonsense bullshit like they're an authority, istg

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS

WHO IS USING THIS

AN APP??? THEY HAVE A FUNCTIONING WEBSITE

THE LAST FUNCTIONING WEBSITE

[iguanodonwildman]

Reminder that ao3 does not have an app. Any apps you see are third party and are making money off of the writers without their consent. They’re also probably harvesting your data. Do not support this garbage.

[fractalspaces]

Louder so people don't quick-scroll:

THIRD-PARTY APP. PROFITS OFF WRITERS, HARVESTS DATA. DO NOT DOWNLOAD.

The people who hate season 7 of btvs simply just do not love Buffy Summers like I do. I have spoken at length about her self acceptance, her recovery from crippling depression and self hatred of s6, stepping into her power as THE slayer and as a leader. Trusting her instincts like never before, how loving/helping/protecting spike is showing how her inner demons she once fought and sought to destroy she now loves openly for all to see but ALSO

Buffy - severe abandonment wounds - Summers gets to have her boyfriend chained up in her basement and in fact he’s there voluntarily and chains HIMSELF in her basement (😏) more often than not

I just love that so much for her like yes pookies that red string of fate wrapped around you both so tightly that now that metaphorical binding has turned literal, sensational

[elysianholly]

It's wonderful after 6 seasons of being doubted and managed by others, Buffy comes into her power and is completely unapologetic about it.

[nicollekidman]

buffy the moment she’s decided she’s been granted the moral permission to care openly for spike: if anyone touches this man without my permission i’m firebombing this entire town

[comradesummers]

the problem with watching buffy the vampire slayer for the first time when you're 13 is that it will fundamentally reshape your brain chemistry to the point where literally all fiction becomes buffy the vampire slayer in different fonts. "watch another show!" you might say, and believe me i have! i promise i've watched many other shows since i was 13. but the problem is that all those other shows as well as films, books, podcasts etc. are simply deviations of buffy the vampire slayer to me. it's the holy text, the primary source. everything else is just commentary.

[emflops]

THE SACRED TEXTS???????

[l0veisntbrains]

I’m finally reading Masquerade

ahhhh

[flyora]

In other times in another universe (shunshued one) my silly fangirl's heart would be happy about this type of scenario for the Post-Series «Buffy the Vampire Slayer» (+ Angel ts)

Call it "a fanfiction by fanartist"

(Spuffy OC daughter Sky included)

Disclaimer!

It is just my fanon picture (one of them TBH) so please just enjoy these pics and let yourself have your own scenario, thank you!

Sky and her little sis Lily

And the family piece to complete the picture

My additional topics for this my AU:

• Sky drives a motorcycle and makes her mum nervous

• Angel (that rich granpa) might bought a pony for one of spuffy daughters just to be that "Cool Uncle" (but still Auntie Cordy is the coolest one)

• Dawn and Spike play cards in the teacher's room

• Spike couldn't find another good "onion flower" and tried to make it by himself at home

• Willow and Giles organizes tea party for student in her greenhouse

• Sky and Spike definitely would arguing about new season of their favorite show and Buffy would be like "If you gonna fight just do it outside, please!"

• Sometimes Sky steals borrows her mum's clothes

• As you can see Buffy the one who wears that leather coat. Give me the story what happened!

SPIKE + BUFFY ↳ Future

[l0veisntbrains]

thinking again about he does make me happy he really cares about me I like who I am when I'm with him I like who we are together and all right ladies? i am now

[theladydi]

there's something so fascinating about how the buffy writers said that the idea of buffy and spike together was unthinkable to them in the early seasons and yet you have moments like this

let's not forget about how this scene is supposed to be this confession to her "big" love interest (in which buffy does not pass the opportunity to mention how spike is the only one who can see right through her)

[yarboyandy]

What something against vampire boyfriends?
