I was going to check off every single item on the "What's wrong with S/A" list, but then I thought, "Wait. Those are all the reasons I *love* them." Well, except for Angel being a great big brawny man and Spike being a blood-crying girl.
But anyway, I know exactly what you mean. I checked that they'll never be able to admit that they care for each other and that they'll never give each other a perfect happy, but this is what I love about them too.
It also drives me nuts. This poll is actually about the fact that A/S IS Scarlett O'Hara/Rhett Butler. The latter was like, my first ship ever from when I was in 5th grade, and ever since then, I've been trying to get those two together in my head. But it's impossible. They might fuck and argue and fight and love love love, but they won't ever *say* it and I can't ever see them resting peacefully and lovingly in each other's arms, because one or the other will suddenly perceive that they're exposing some kind of vulnerability and lash out, and hurt the other one, and then it's back and forth again and again and it's hot and sexy and entertaining and I can see where it would be really really comfortable in a way but it's not Buffy and Angel holding hands and being cheesy and kissing in the moonlight, it just isn't. See I put Angel and Spike in a home with puppies and give them silk sheets and then Kita gave Spike froot loops and lots of naked hotness and then there was lots and lots of fucking and there STILL weren't I love yous, even if the insults and the bruises kind of say it, I want there to be a MOMENT, just one, just one where they let each other love each other and there just won't be, there just won't, and this is really driving me kind of nuts, lately.
There was one in Vicarious, but Spike thought Angel was saying it to Buffy, and afterwards Angel could always claim he was just saying it to Buffy, and that's the only reason I believed it. I just wouldn't believe it otherwise. I wouldn't.
But OMGIwanttoreaditdon'ttemptme.
She did! It was another time I was whining about how A/S don't make googly eyes at each other enough and call each other pet names other than poof and idiot. I told you, it's been bothering me lately.
