"What I basically told them was play the romance, be proud of him. Love him when you say you love him."
- Joss Whedon, before the last Buffy/Spike scene in "Chosen."

Basics

My name is Grace. I'm fifteen years old. I live to dance and write. I love English class. I love summer. I'm close with my family and my friends. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is my favourite show ever. I want to marry Keith Urban - if he ever divorced his wife. I'm happy. I like to laugh. I like to be crazy. If I could have one wish, I'd make it to Harvard.

Buffy belongs with Angel. Simple as that.

I can tell you this much; I will marry just once. And if it doesn't work out, I'll give him half my stuff. It's fine with me, because we promised e t e r n i t y .

Preview:
"Anya could hear Xander's voice ringing in her ears like the shrillest scream. He was chasing after her, screaming her name, getting closer and closer. But she didn't turn around - couldn't turn around. She had lost something today and it had left her with a grand total of nothing. She didn't need Xander around more, to drag her down closer to rock bottom.
'Anya!' he gasped, panting. He placed a hand on her shoulder.
Anya didn't flinch. She gathered all her bravery, sucking in precious air. 'Xander?' she whispered.
'Yeah?' he replied. He was hesitant, afraid.
'Stay... away from me.' She knew she was being extremely harsh; Xander had once told her Cordelia's exact words when she had broken up with him a final time. Anya knew she was a horrible person for repeating those words, but he had left her with no choice. He had loved her to her breaking point..."

Cordelia/Xander onshot. In season two, Cordelia breaks up with Xander to save her social status, but has she made a huge mistake?
Preview:
"Cordelia gazed after Xander as he trudged away. When he walked, he appeared to be crooked. It was not something everybody noticed, but there had been a time where she has found his lopsided strut adorable, just another minor reason why she adored him. But she couldn't possibly think like that now. No, thing were different. And it was her fault.
She turned to look inside her locker, just to hide evidence of raw grief that rested in her eyes like a sleepless night. She was confused, her stream of thoughts not quite functioning properly. Out of habit, she gently fingered the necklace Xander had given her - no, she needed to stop.
Cordelia reached around to the back of her neck to remove the necklace, but found it almost impossible, like an invisible shield was protecting it. She just couldn't bring herself to take it off, not now. She could not handle that kind of closure yet. As long as she still had his necklace, part of Xander was still her's."

"Passion; it lies in all of us. Sleeping...waiting. And thought unwanted, unbidden; it will stir, open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us, guides us. Passion rules us all. And we obey.

"We have one more award to give out. Is Buffy Summers here tonight? Did she, um... This is actually a new category. First time ever. I guess there were a lot of write-in ballots, and, um, the prom committee asked me to read this... 'We're not good friends. Most of us never found the time to get to know you, but that doesn't mean we haven't noticed you. We don't talk about it much, but it's no secret that Sunnydale High isn't really like other high schools. A lot of weird stuff happens here... But, whenever there was a problem or something creepy happened, you seemed to show up and stop it. Most of the people here have been saved by you, or helped by you at one time or another. We're proud to say that the Class of '99 has the lowest mortality rate of any graduating class in Sunnydale history. And we know at least part of that is because of you. So the senior class, offers its thanks, and gives you, uh, this."

" 'It's from all of us, and it has written here, "Buffy Summers, Class Protector.' "
- Johnathan. ("The Prom" Season 3)

"You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love 'til it kills you both. You'll fight and you'll shag and you'll hate each other 'til it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends. Love isn't brains, children, it's blood. Blood screaming inside you to work its will. I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it."
- Spike. ("Lover's Walk" Season 3.)

"Hey, I was wondering when you were coming."
"I'm not coming back. We're not friends, we never were. And I can fool Giles, and I can fool my friends, but I can't fool myself...or Spike, for some reason. What I want from you...I can never have. You don't need me to take care of you anymore. So I'm gonna go."
"I don't accept that."
"You don't have to."
"How can...There's gotta be some way we can still see each other."
"There is. Tell me you don't love me."
- Angel & Buffy. ("Lover's Walk" Season 3.)

"Strong is fighting! It's hard, and it's painful, and it's every day. It's what we have to do. And we can do it together. But if you're too much of a coward for that, then burn. If I can't convince you that you belong in this world, then I don't know what can. But do not expect me to watch. And don't expect me to mourn for you..."
- Buffy. ("Amends" Season 3)

"Look around. We're in my daddy's car, it's just the two of us, there is a beautiful, big full moon outside tonight. It doesn't get more romantic than this. So shut up!"
- Cordelia. ("Phases" Season 2)

--

Not really a quote, but it's my favourite scene EVER. It gets me every single time.

Angel: (softly) Buffy? (sobs) What's going on?

She just looks at him, confused but not yet ready to lower the sword. He looks around a bit and gets to his feet.

Angel: Where are we? I...I don't remember.

Finally Buffy realizes that the curse has worked, and she slowly lowers her sword.

Buffy: (softly) Angel?

Angel: (sees her wound) You're hurt.

She looks down at her wound and feels his gentle touch on her arm. She ignores her cut, looks back up at him and steps closer. He embraces her tightly.

Angel: Oh, Buffy... God. I... I feel like I haven't seen you in months.

Finally she accepts that her Angel is back and closes her eyes and breathes out a deep sigh.

Angel: Oh, my God, everything's so muddled. (sobs) I...Oh...Oh Buffy...

Buffy cries into his shoulder and hugs him back. Behind him Acathla lets out a low rumble. Buffy opens her eyes and stares in shock as Acathla's face contorts. His brows angle down, his eyes glow red, his mouth opens grotesquely and the swirling vortex to Hell opens, small at first, but growing steadily in size and emanating a deep, red glow. Buffy lets go of Angel and looks up into his face.

Angel: (confused) What's happening?

Buffy: (whispers softly, voice wavering) Shh. Don't worry about it.

She brushes her fingers over his lips and across his cheek. She lays her hand on his cheek and kisses him softly. He returns the kiss. Behind them, the vortex has grown to about five feet across and continues to get larger. Buffy breaks off the kiss and looks deeply into Angel's eyes.

Buffy: (whispers) I love you.

Angel: (whispers) I love you.

Buffy: (very, very softly) Close your eyes.

She nods reassuringly, and he closes his eyes. She tries hard not to start crying, and kisses him again gently. She steps back, draws back her sword and thrusts it into his chest. His eyes whip open in surprise
and pain, and a bright light emanates from the sword. She steps away from him. He reaches out to her and looks down at the sword thrust completely through him. He looks at her imploringly, completely
bewildered by this turn of events. She can only stare at the sword protruding from his chest, and slowly steps further back.

Angel: Buffy...

Behind him the power of the sword begins to swirl into the vortex. Buffy steps further back, still looking only at the sword in his chest and not into his face. The vortex has enlarged, and the two energies begin to interact. Angel still holds out his hand to Buffy. When the vortex finally meets him it suddenly closes into Acathla's mouth without so much as a spark, taking him with it. Buffy stares at the stone demon for a long moment, a light of awareness dawning in her eyes as she truly realizes what she has done, what she has lost.
Buffy clasps her hand over her mouth, letting out quiet sobs, before turning to leave...
