I love that reading your post makes me feel like we watched entirely different shows. :) I've always been pretty open to an eventual Angel/Spike...they both have a prettiness, I like pretty boys kissing each other, it's cute when they rattle each other, etc. I'm fairly certain that at this point Angel has blown his chances with Spike, though. I don't know if Angel is capable of maturing enough to be with Spike. Weird, huh? Wesley and Spike might have worked, if I ever got the vibe from Wesley that he'd do boys. He really only had eyes for Fred though.
And Fred/Wesley...oh they make me weep. I loved them together. Waiting for them to get together is probably the only thing that got me through the Cordy-is-possessed-and-sleeping-with-Angel-and-Darla's-teenage-boy-who-was-raised-by-a-demon-hunter-in-another-dimension-and-who's-diapers-she-used-to-change-season. Because, wow, was that spork stabbing worthy?:)
But Spuffy had cannon moments of near perfection. Season Five pretty much worked, as did the first few episodes of season six. Really, up until she decided to stop treating him like a friend but have hate sex instead...we were good. Life Serial is an exercise in obnoxiousness right up until Buffy decides to go hang with Spike. (I mean, really, they think she spent all this time in hell and they're worried that she spends a few weeks without a job?) "You wanna steal a van, I'm with you, love, but we have got the motorcycle." Oh, yeah...he's the big bad. And season seven...there are moments. Serious moments.

Wow. Yeah, we totally were watching different shows :P I couldn't see a Spike/Wes. In the early seasons, there was just something from Wesley's end that spoke of more than mere adoration for Angel...maybe it was the way Alexis played it--I don't know--but he sometimes came off as the scorn lover, or the guy with unrequited love.
Fred/Wes...I thought they had a lovely ending. It broke my heart. But I just didn't care about them being together. They had no real oomph or something...however, I don't think they were boring.

Word. But the badness trumps the good bits for me. Canonly speaking.
