To be honest, I've realized the ship very late too. It was mostly 
Willow/Tara and Buffy/Faith for me. Okay, I saw the potential in S4.

I thought that B/S was copied blatantly from X/F. Hell, Faith used 
Xander and abused him later. Spike is modelled after Xander (just 
like most male characters are modelled after him or Giles) and Faith 
after Buffy. The Zeppo is similar to Lover's Walk.

I'm not sure what you mean with Joss not taking this development. 
Which development?
But, yeah, Buffy/Angel is winning it. They are the classic couple of 
the troubled champions afterall. And in general Angel is found hotter 
than Spike.

Nothing. Only I have to visit my dentist more often and make sure I 
get my insuline. That's all :)

I have read some very good B/W ships. And there's a whole group 
filled with fic still out there waiting for me!! :grin:
