Now we just have to figure out what Spike considers "intimate", if he and Angel only got intimate once.

I'm thinking it was just that once for the flowers and candy.

If I only had a brain...
They didn't get anywhere because they turned out both to be bottoms.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Angel is a bottom. Angelus is a top. Spike is a bottom who thinks he's a top.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Spike is a bottom who thinks he's a top.
I dunno. Someone who goes around calling himself "love's bitch" doesn't strike me as a guy with a lot of illusions about his topness.
eta: Or is it "toppitude"? "toposity"?

Ann, that's a ferret.
But it also isn't easy to think of a Spike who'd have the Buffybot moan, "You're the Big Bad!" as someone who'd take a submissive role.
Maybe a bottom who wishes he were a top.

H'm. I'd forgotten the Buffybot. And he cuffed Buffy herself. Though he also let her beat the holy crap out of him. Can one be physically a top and a completely emotionally submissive love's bitch at the same time?

The terms can apply either to physical position or dom/sub dynamics, and the two aren't always synonymous.
I don't see Angel as a bottom in either sense of the word, but that may have as much to do with my impression of Lindsey as with Angel himself.
