BtVS Season 8 Volume 8 - Last Gleaming
BtVS S9 - Buffy and Spike: Conversations
Spike: Can we talk?
Buffy: Vocal-cord-wise, yes. With each other? No.
We didn’t see on the show or in the comics many conversations the characters had with each other – trivial ones or about important issues that were addressed off screen/panel. And Buffy and Spike have always talked to each other (even when he was soulless: remember her telling him about Joyce’s illness, talking about finances…), despite her assertion in Tabula Rasa…
We can deduce – since the Slayer knows about what happened with Angel and Spike in Los Angeles (their battle against the Senior Partners) – that she also knows about LA in Hell, and how Spike got his spaceship, which happened right before the Partners went dimension hoping:
Buffy also knew who and what Illyria was when they first met in S9; she also knew that the Old One was able to manipulate time, as well as that this power was taken from her. And although she says “Angel and Spike gave me the cliff notes”, I can’t figure out how she could have heard the information from Angel, since they saw each other only in S7 (briefly), and S8 (when they were too busy creating a new universe):
Spike and Buffy also talked off panel about his new friend Koh (probably when he helped her through the abortion/robot problem):
And, still on the subject, they have talked about the AR “more than once”:
Buffy:
Demon-Law-firm-Angel-and-Spike-were-prepared-to-die-to-keep-out-of-this-realm Wolfram and Hart?
Angel and Spike gave me the cliff notes. (about Illyria)
Spike told me about your underworld bromance. (about Koh)
We have been over this. More than once. (about the AR)

BtVS S8 - A Little More Faith in Faith
Faith - due to her evil past, I get that - gets mistreated a lot in S8.
After the battle of Sunnydale, Buffy and the Scoobies go to live in Europe and Faith stays in the USA: she goes to Cleveland, to keep an eye on the city’s Hellmouth. She and Wood seem to have been a couple for a while, but not anymore. When he calls her to help take care of some children whose mother was turned into a vampire, he refrains from mentioning that the children also were turned; the Slayer thinks she is going to rescue them:
She barely arrives home, totally distraught, to hear from Giles he needs her to kill, not a vampire or monster, but a human being:
I don’t think it was fair to ask something like that to Faith; she visibly gets hurt - “I’m the girl for the dirty deeds, it’s all I am”.
Later, Buffy is teleported to a unknown place where she finds Faith and misreads the situation (I don’t blame her), thinking Faith is the culprit for her “kidnapping”:
Things get better for her after a while, when Giles proposes Faith a partnership “between equals” to “perform peacekeeping missions”, and later, after his death, when he leaves all his belongings (savings, the London flat, a farm, horses) as an inheritance for her:
Which is, in my opinion, a slap on Buffy’s face – not that Giles shouldn’t have left anything to Faith, on the contrary, but not give a penny to an underprivileged Buffy was very… non-fatherly. Buffy gets only the Vampyr book; the message for me is: “you’re not my daughter, you’re my Slayer”.
And when all is done, is up to Faith to take care of a catatonic Angel (which is going to result in one of the best Buffyverse comic seasons, Angel & Faith 9, by the way):

Yep. Sometimes you should keep your mouth shut, Angel, mainly when it’s something to do with Buffy, because you really don’t get her, you don't know her anymore.

"PERHAPS..."
“PERHAPS…”
… Perhaps I see you again in years,
In a garden of immigrants with tears.
My eyes may be awake,
Bring my name to you and partake…
… Perhaps in almighty hand,
I would be a child, starry band.
You… be my mother every night
Above me with heart of delight!
… Perhaps then I’ll be a mountain.
Perhaps my streaming maintain.
With your touch, last gleaming!
You have memory of me, streaming!! …

"I AM A MOUNTAIN"
“I AM A MOUNTAIN”
Perhaps I see you again in years,
In a garden of immigrants with tears.
My eyes maybe awake;
Bring my name to your memory, then partake.
Perhaps in almighty hand,
I would be a child, starry band.
You may be my mother every night;
Caress me with heart of delight.
Perhaps, then I’ll be a mountain.
Perhaps my streaming maintain.
With your touch, last gleaming!
You have memory of me, streaming!! …
