Reply to this post, and I will tell you my favorite icon of yours. Then post this to your own journal using your own favorite icon.
Choosing my own favorite was extremely difficult. It depends on the day, and even just today there are about five.
I finally settled on this one: one ofindulging_breck's clever juxtapositions of image and dialogue from the same episode. It's from "School Hard," of course, and Buffy's talking to Spike, but I love it because I can as easily apply the line to Buffy herself, first in S2 (oh, Angelus arc of utter angst!) and then for her entire Slayer career. As often as she rebuilds herself piece by piece, Slaying shatters her again. There are moments of triumph, but also a great deal of brokeness.
(Of course, the line is also prescient about the nature of Spike's experiences with the Slayer - lots and lots of pain. However, since Buffy's the one pictured, I don't tend to think of the icon as being about him.)
All that from a cap and one line that was about something else entirely in canon.
On a visual level, the completely washed-out color gives Buffy a very ghostly, ethereal appearance that I really like.
