Love Burns

This started out as a meta about Spike, love, and how often he uses “fire” in love-related stuff.

Then it turned into a meta about fire and love in the Buffyverse.

Then I started searching episode transcripts, looking for fire metaphors… and decided I’d probably better include actual fires as well.

Then I realised that lots of those fires were actually caused by explosions.

…and then I got carried away.


So. This is a meta about fires, explosions, smoking, flamethrowers, fire-related names, firemen, exploding body parts, and love-and-fire metaphors in the Buffyverse.
