elisi: Living in interesting times is not worth it (The beginning by awmp)
We watched 'Bad Eggs' the night before last (Darcy said lets watch Buffy, I said which one, and he got impatient, pulled out a random disk from a random DVD box and said the fourth one on this. Which was 'Bad Eggs'.)

Aaaaanyway, the B/A scenes are all schmoop and kisses and they're just so sweet and tragic (c'mon! Who hasn't been in love and felt like that?). This scene especially just kills me:

ANGEL: (swallows) You really don't care what happens a year from now? Five years from now?
BUFFY: Angel, when I look into the future, a-a... all I see is you! All I want is you.
ANGEL: I know the feeling.
He reaches down to kiss her. He finds her lips and she responds. They kiss more and more passionately. The camera pans away from them and across a gravestone that reads 'In Loving Memory'.


The next episode is 'Surprise'... And the thing is, even though Angel will come back from hell and all that, they will *never* be as happy together as they are in this episode (or OK, the end of the next one, but you know what I mean). Ever. They get to the top and then it's all downhill - they can never get back up.

But Spike/Buffy - that's a different thing altogether. Their story *ends* at the top - it starts out ugly and messy and twisted and slowly, slowly gets more beautiful.

So although I want Spike and Buffy to end up together, in a way it doesn't matter. Because their ending was perfect.

Finally I'm going to share this song from [livejournal.com profile] stoney321's Buffy Playlist, because it is the *perfect* song for their last scene: Brighter Than Sunshine.
