The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Saturday, November 4
Spike sits slouched in his chair, watching TV.
WOMAN ON TV: (screaming) Oh my god, the blood! Look at all the blood!
Spike's stomach growls. He looks down at his stomach, puts his hand on it, gets up.

In honor of November 5, I wanted to post my personal top five favorite love confessions and some honorable mentions of otherwise romantic lines. I’m not going to post the full confessions, just my favorite lines from them, but I will put the source. The top five will be in chronological order.
Spike to Buffy: (BtVS 7x20) “100+ years, and there’s only one thing I’ve ever been sure of: you. (...) I’ve seen the best and the worst of you, and I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You’re a hell of woman. You’re the one, Buffy.”
Khai to Third: (Theory of Love ep.12) “I watched as many romantic films as I could, to find out what love is. Instead of finding the answer, I found you in every one of them, (...) For me, you are not a movie. You are real.”
Joe to Nicky: (The Old Guard) “This man is more to me than you can dream. He’s the moon when I’m lost in darkness and warmth when I shiver in the cold. And his kiss still thrills me even after millennia. (...) I love this man beyond measure and reason.” (Also, because I think it’s funny: Nicky, offscreen: “There’s a tv, Joe.” Joe, also offscreen: “Champagne?”)
Castiel to Dean: (Spn 15x18) “I think I know now. Happiness isn’t in the having, it’s in just being. It’s in just saying it. (...) Knowing you has changed me. Because you cared, I cared. (...) I love you.”
Lestat to Louis: (Iwtv 1x01) “You just have to ask me for it. You just have to nod your beautiful head, and say yes. I love you, Louis. You are loved.”
Honorable mentions for romantic lines:
Will and Elizabeth: (PotC) Elizabeth: “Will, how many times must I ask you to call me Elizabeth?” Will: “At least once more, Miss Swann, as always.”
Westley to Buttercup: (The Princess Bride) “Death cannot stop true love, all it can do is delay it for a while.”
Hannibal to Will: (Hannibal 3x06) “If I saw you every day, forever, Will, I would remember this time.”
Zhao Yunlan to Shen Wei: (Guardian ep 13) “If you were the trouble, I would take dozens, to bother my whole life.”
Korn to In and Dean to Pharm: (Until we meet again) In: “Do you think if we died and were born again we would find each other?” Korn: “I will keep searching until I find you.” (30 years later) Dean to Pharm: “I did it. I found you.”

The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Thursday, March 14, Part 2
Willow: Yeah, my search isn't turning anything up either. Are you sure this thing called itself The First?
Buffy: Pretty sure. It claimed to be the original evil, the one that came before anything else.
Anya: Please, how many times have I heard that line in my demon days? "I'm so rotten, they don't even have a word for it. I'm bad. Baddy bad bad bad. Does it make you horny?" ... Or terrified. Whatever.
