No, thank you!! And yeah, I'm not a huge Spike/Buffy getting hitched fan. I suppose in some FFs it'll work, but I just don't see either one of their characters doing it. They're too grounded in their realities and their understanding of their limited time together. And yet even then, they just seem so beyond getting married. Like, someone would ask them if they're getting married, and Buffy would be like, "Oh. Wow. That didn't even occur to me." And Spike, of course, being the romantic he is, would have thought about it, but he knows his girl too much and he knows the world too much. That's why agreeing not to marry is like getting married, you know? *ramble ramble :)*
That's pretty much how I see the Spuffy relationship. Or more like how I want them to be, where they are together in the end but without the happy white picket fence/2.5 kids ending.
YES. White picket fence and kids is just, so out of proportion for them. It's a girly, teenage dream that fits better with the idea of Bangel than is does Spuffy. They're too practical for all that now :) But just because they don't have that ending doesn't mean their relationship is any less important or less worthy of epic love. They're just so damn epic I can't even handle it.
Oh gosh yes, I see their relationship as such an epic love or at least one of the most epic love stories told in the last 50 years. It's too freakin epic for words even.
Funny, the whole happy ending (kids and marriage) thing for them is just so not them but at the same time I like reading stories about happy endings for them sometimes. I really think the end for them will be bittersweet, but sometimes I want some fluff for them.
Teenage dream thing does work for bangel more though, which I think was why I started off as a bangel before I saw the rest of the series.
I'm so thankful to Mari for bringing so many wonderful people here. She's just freaking amazing. Thank you for coming by and reading and commenting and just... *happy sigh from ME* THANK YOU.

“Will you… Will you never marry me?”
“Never.”
That's my Buffy and Spike - two fools for love. epic freaks, blind idiots who can't see the magnitude of their feelings.
The last paragraph brought madу me cry. The pure, raw emotions, combined with fairytale style - irresistible combo!
