Spuffy had me hissing at the screen for all sorts of reasons. I can't read Spangel at all. Historical stuff (pre-abandonment, pre-soul) might work, but I'd know that it was only temporary, and I'm a happy-ever-after kinda girl. And post-Chosen doesn't work for me either, because I can't get past Spike's abandonment issues. :P

I guess I'm just a rabid OTPer at heart. Spike+Xander makes me happy. ;)
