Now that Spike has that damned soul - a plot device that I refuse to read in fanfiction - Xander/Buffy have my full and undivided pairing wishes for the series.
And I sincerely hope that they don't attempt to use the soul as a way to get B/S again. I don't think they will though, because they had Xander find out about the rape. And he's the sort who remembers that kind of thing.
Souled!Spike just... no. Because he's not the same PERSON anyway. And Buffy had chemistry with Spike, and no. [shakes head] Twisted or not, I was only interested in them when Spike was very morally ambiguous. That was the draw. Otherwise, why not go with Xander? If she's looking for a caring, comfortable guy to settle down with, instead of some nice sexualized violence and danger, then one of her best friends would be a better bet.
<- likes her bad men BAD, damn it! Not semi!bad. Not diet!bad. Not just!one!calorie!bad -- isn't ENOUGH.
