I would be inclined to agree, Sean.
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That just reminded me of a new portmanteau I learnt today in the LJ crossover challenge -- Spicey.
Mmmm. Finger-licking good.

Spicey.
Dare I even ask? Please say it isn't Spike/Pacey. Lie if you have to.

I was hoping that's exactly what it was.

WHY THE HELL ARE YOU SHIPPING THEM WHEN YOU DON'T LIKE HER???
To be fair to my b/a loving friend (and she's a friend), she always did like Buffy. She got angry with Buffy when after the attempted rape, Buffy wanted to take Dawn to Spike to be erm... babysat, while she (Buffy) went after Warren or Willow or whomever it was that needed going after at that point.
I understand why Buffy did it. It was stupid and wrong, but I get that (on a very deep level sometimes, sadly).
But yes, we vented about this is LJ during the season, I think. I think it's a really funny thing, when people love Spike beyond reason, think he's so good and misunderstood, and want him to be with Buffy, whom they think is a using bitch. Well if he's the cat's ass and she's what comes out of it, why do you want them together? It cracks me up when I'm not thunking my head.
Dare I even ask? Please say it isn't Spike/Pacey. Lie if you have to.
Hmmmm. I don't know this one, but I betcha a lie is in order.
BWAH! Yes, the Spoldemorts.
We need to use this and make it catch on for the insano-Spuffies. (Note to Buffistsas - I don't mean you; I have b/s leanings from time to time, you know whom I mean). I think I will tell Bronzers about it, too.
Spoldemorts. What? It's a thing.

See, this I could get behind. With a camera.

Hey, I've written it. Twice since Chosen, even.

Twice? I missed one, then. Where, where? You know the one I saw. I saw the missing Chosen scene that you did, that made me all better again.
I didn't see your other, I don't think. WANT.

`He combed his hair, Put on a shirt that his mother made, And he went on the air...'
Speaking here as a Spoldemort... we are a subtle and varied breed, OK? Not all of us are idiots. There are some pretty good arguments for irritation at Buffy (and others) in the interests of Spoldemortism. One, of many, that leaps into my head right now and makes me seethe is the following from season 6: Buffy dumps Spike, saying she is using him and can never love him. Xander ditches Anya at the altar (maximum humiliation). Spike and Anya indulge in a little desperate canoodling for comfort's sake. The camera just happens to be there. Self-righteous wrath on the part of Buffy and Xander. Somehow this is interpreted as their ditched partners hurting THEM, when I actually thought being ditched made you a free agent. And poor Spike is so whipped he actually apologises. I don't care if he, or Anya is evil, good, or some shade of grey in between -- if they're good enough to be involved with, even if it is only using them as an instrument of physical pleasure, they are good enough to treat with a modicum of respect. And that's only one of many incidents I could cite from S6.
OK, so some Spoldemorts may be nutters. But some of us aren't. There are many times I've adored Buffy. And Xander. (Never liked Willow that much.) But sometimes they behave like crap.
