Love Is Blind is a Spuffy fic by Avalon.

When Buffy is blinded, Spike of all people, becomes her only hope.

Reactions and Reviews

Buffy is blinded by a demon and Spike takes the Trial to restore her eyesight. But The Trial turns out to be something different than both Buffy and Spike could expect. Very creative application of AtS mythology to BtVS characters.[1]

Why This Must Be Read: Remember those days in season five, when Spike was realising he may feel more about Buffy than just a desire to kill her, and Buffy was still totally blind to any possibility that she might feel the same? Well, this story takes that time period and puts a more literal spin on things. The characterisations and dialogue in Love is Blind ring so honestly true, you'll think you could be watching an actual episode from the show.[2]
