You know I was talking to a greek friend of mine, we talk about the show in a greek forum, about where the Spuffy story could go on. After rejecting all the possibilities that had to do with deja-vu either with Buffy-Spike or Buffy-Angel, only 2 options remained. Having a relationship finally, or continue the "lust-passion-undeclared loved-unresolved issues-want you out of my life-can't live without you" thing that those 2 have had since day one they met. She is not a Spuffy, but what she said was "ok, good one, but we're getting bored of that, finally, get those 2 in a relationship so they can move on or break them up once and for all, this is not yet, but very soon become ridiculous".
And she's right, Spuffy just can't keep on like that forever, it's fun I agree, but the time that we'll just get bored of it because it's stable and deja-vu all the time is not far away. So those two really need to move on and learn how to live without the other and find new relationships, or become a couple themselves.
Now with Buffy getting sired. I don't think that Spike would ever do that to Buffy no matter what the cost. That is something Angel would do and not Spike, so I don't see the story getting towards that way.
I believe that the shock is going to be that vampires and slayers are the same. The only thing different is that a slayer is alive and she has a soul. Another socking thing it can be that the slayer is immortal too. If she doesn't get killed, she can go on living forever at the zenith of her youth just like a vampire. Or something very stupid like, Buffy and Spike deciding to be together or having passionate sex (that would be so Jeanty-socking just like Buffy trying lesbian) or Buffy deciding to stop fighting (again Jeanty-socking).

I don't know what will happen but I know the way Joss structures his stories. "Lust-passion-etc" won't be on the table simply because it was already explored in season 6.
If Joss still has some serious ideas regarding Spuffy, I expect something utterlty heartbreaking. Simon's idea about siring is very probable.
But if Joss ran out of ideas for Spuffy, then nothing will happen, and Spike will stay her loyal friend.

Joss will find a way, if he would like to go there. "Only the vampire!Buffy can do this-and-this to save the world," blah-blah...
Look, if they hadn't made it clear in AtS that getting sired by a vampire with a soul will only result a soulless vampire, and if they hadn't made it clear that the seed is broken so no more magic in the world, maybe I would agree that the story can go that way, "Buffy the vampire vampire slayer". Right now, I really don't see how things can go that way without finding something very stupid to justify it or retconning many things.
We'll see. Maybe it's because I always expect the worst outcome when I watch/read a Joss show. Tell me that there is a lot of great stuff in Buffy and Spike's future, and I'll reply: "What's the catch?" :)
