BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER | 7.02 "Beneath You"

[charmedslayer]

Why? Why would you do that—Buffy, shame on you. Why does a man do what he mustn't? For her. To be hers.

“I wanted to give you what you deserve.” | 7x02 Beneath You

[femmedefandom]

SPIKE: I dreamed of killing you. I think they were dreams. So weak. And you make me weak. Thinking of you...holding myself, and spilling useless buckets of salt over your...ending.

Because I’ll never be done analyzing this apparently. He can't stop seeing it in his mind, feeling it in his soul. Buffy makes him feel, not just love, but makes him feel weak and powerless because when she died it was because he couldn’t do his job. He couldn’t be the super powerful big bad who accomplished everything he set his mind to. He was so worried about Buffy and Dawn that he couldn't focus on his target and be ruthless and efficient and do it right. He couldn’t be strong enough or quick enough or smart enough to kill the Doc and protect Dawn before she began to bleed. He wasn’t enough and the girl he loved sacrificed herself because of his failure. All he could do was watch, helpless and impotent and grief stricken, crying buckets at the sight of her dead body. And he can’t even bring himself to say it. He'll say that he killed Buffy, but he can’t even say that Buffy….died. It’s her “ending”. The girl who he loved so much he couldn’t recover from it and was left a shell of himself at her loss.

For Spike, setting him on fire is an act of love

He knew Dawn still cared about him

And he definitely knew Buffy was serious when she said she loved him

[ialwayscomewhenyoucall]

the spark

break me open

find the spark

there’s a fire inside

burning me up

soon i’ll be ash

forgotten

swept up and thrown away

i thought it would be you

(it should be you)

but the stake is mine

burning from the inside out

i did this for you

(it’s always you)

but i didn’t know

didn’t know how much the spark would

burn

it’s like dying

(again)

drowning in flames

can you cut it out?

i tried

couldn’t find it

shouldn’t i be able to see

the spark?

i can feel it

screaming at me

telling me I’m a monster

breaking my silent heart

take it buffy

please

i found it for you

(always you)

i’m so tired

i need…

buffy

can there be rest?
