Here are five of my favorite Spuffy stories this year that wrench your heart and make you grateful for the ache.

1. Ars Poetica by penny_lane_42 - "The story of her life with Spike, Buffy realizes, is written in poetry, not prose."

2. In the Living Season by jen_nsync_landl - "100-word snapshots of love, longing, loss, and hope" set in the summer post-The Gift.

3. The Glory and The Dream Gifts AU Verse by green_maia - "Whither is fled the visionary gleam? Where is it now, the glory and the dream?"

4. Lotophagi by gabrielleabelle - Wherein heaven brings no peace of mind, no comfort, and no reward.

5. Spark by aisalynn - The spark burns and torments Spike.
