Flipping a Shit (Happily)

OH MY GOD.  JUST READ THE COMIC AND AM HAPPILY FLIPPING A SHIT BECAUSE IT IS PERFECT AND BEAUTIFUL, AND THE LAST TWO PAGES, ALDKFJALKDJFLADJFLAJDFK.

Like, I don't even feel the need to fic this issue because the Spuffy (and the Buffy & Dawn, Buffy & Robin, Nikki & Crowley, Spike & Dowling, EVERYTHING ELSE) already makes me so happy!  (Still writing

Hee! I love your reaction post.

I'm so glad. :)

It actually has me beyond worried.

ME, TOO. Part of me worries that there will be some huge, relationship-ending (insofar as any of the ships ever actually "end" in the Buffyverse) event later in the season, a la the Bangel spacefrak, but I honestly can't imagine what in-character trauma Joss could come up with; Buffy and Spike are just too much a part of each other now for any traitorous, hurtful event like that to be remotely realistic (*knocks on wood*; except for maybe if he knowingly slept with her while she was drunk? But calling that IC would be an extremely tenuous claim). So then part of me worries that Joss will kill Spike off b/c hey, that's the other way to end a relationship, but I don't think DH would let him do that b/c Spike is such a moneymaker and draw to the fans; I know I'd stop reading the comics if he were killed

If it gets revealed that Spike slept with Buffy at the party then I will be beyond pissed off.

I'd be unbelievably furious and offended if they had him rape her while he was sober and she was too drunk to consent, and if they were both drunk and it was consensual, I'd still be annoyed because how dare they do something like that off-page after so many years of waiting?? (I mean, I guess they could give us flashbacks, but STILL).

Because I just can't envision a situation where he willingly leaves her again, not after everything that's happened.

Ugh, yeah. I hadn't considered them simply moving him a different title (I heard the same rumors that they considered it), but that would be a relationship-ender, too. The implied apathy between Buffy and Spike, that they could finally part ways, would be almost worse than a traumatic event.

Their feelings. They are obvious. ;)

Seriously. I don't know why Chambliss called them unrequited in the first place, because they clearly are requited...the characters just don't know it; there's a

Yeah, it was in a recent interview (with Joss, too, and he said even worse things), and I should do the same thing and stop reading them. They just raise my blood pressure and make me angst for a whole month while waiting for the next issue.
