Ars Poetica by penny_lane_42

R, "Becoming Part II" - post-"Not Fade Away." Author's summary: "The story of her life with Spike, Buffy realizes, is written in poetry, not prose." Fill-in-the-blancs featuring great poetry that reflects Spike and Buffy's relationship. Compelling and intense.

One-shot, PG, season 7. "Announcement: In honor of National Poetry Month, all submissions to this board must now be done in POEM FORM. Obey this new rule – ’cause it’s just that cool. By order of The Great Xander (chief morale officer, bringer of snacks, and general punching bag)". Deliciously funny take on the life in Casa Summers in 2003.

brutti_ma_buoni did a unique experiment: for her seasonal_spuffy day she wrote a series of poems in which different Buffyverse characters express their views of Spike and Buffy, resulting in a deliciously funny collection of bloody awful poetry.

NC-17, start of s5. Buffy discovers that Spike writes poetry about her. Confused and embarrassed, she can't decide how to treat him... Fluffy fun.

Poetry can be smutty, too. You can say "Spuffy forever" in an NC-17 way! :)

And, as a bonus, mere_ubu's Spaikus are always a treat.

What a fantastic collection! Including some I haven't read yet! Poetry and Spuffy go together like mixy things!

And thanks so much for the rec!

I'm happy to rec you, hon. And you're right, Spuffy and poetry are unseparable.

Buffyverse *is* poetry :)

Thank you so much for the rec. And as I'm about to write an essay for my English Literature degree course about rhyme, word choice and form, entirely appropriate! And I'm delighted to be in such wonderful company, all of which I heartily agree with. Spike and poetry seem just right to me :) Thanks again.
