Ultimate Whedonverse Couple (Beginning Project)

[lightandmagic]

Alright, so I've been rewatching through Season 2 of Buffy and Firefly, and it inspired me to see who the ultimate Whedonverse couple is, also JustWillow's Top Episodes poll also inspired me to try and compile this.

In order for a couple to be included on this list, it had to follow these regulations:
- Canon couples only, simply because trying to compile every possible couple listing otherwise would be impossible. By this I mean:
- In order to be considered 'canon' at least one person in the couple has to have liked / had a crush on the other person, and it doesn't have to be necessarily reciprocated (ex. Buffy and Xander, or Dawn and Xander) It doesn't have to be outright said, but if heavily implied I've included it, which makes it a bit foggy. This is why I am making the topic first before the polls, to get input, which I will get to later.
- They are also considered canon if they have sexual history, despite their feelings for each other on the show. Or if they had random sex minus feelings, it still counts.
- Both characters have to be in at least two episodes. So people mentioned only off-screen are not counted, or one episode characters are also not included.
- Dollhouse is kind of complicated due to the imprinted nature of the dolls, but I've decided to include the imprint/doll and the person in the poll.

Alright, so I've compiled a list of Whedonverse couples that I feel fit into these regulations. But I may have missed a few, so before I start the poll, I'm posting all the couples that I have listed. If you feel I've missed one, tell me in a post, and give reasons as to why you feel so (for example, I do not have Buffy and Faith cause I don't really think there's evidence to suggest romantic feelings on either part, but if you feel you do have evidence point it out, and if it's mertiable, I'll definitely include them.)

The initial round I'll post all the couples, in multiple rounds and in random order (similar to JustWillow), the top three quarters will move on, whereas the bottom quarter will begin in the other section for most hated Whedonverse couple. I think that way we get the most loved, and the most hated.

So, without further ado, here's the list, I'll give it a couple of days for suggestions, and then begin the polling. Hopefully everything works out!

Cool idea! One that I think you may have missed (not that I think it'll get many votes) is Angel x Gwen. When she restarts his heart, there is definitely a little surge of passion and I'm sure she wouldn't say no.

[Just Willow]

ooh, good idea! i was an inspiration? cool.

Willow and Tara all the way!

[Willow+Tara87]

Willow and Tara must win! :-P

[redapple31]

Buffy and Angel should definitely win!

[Randi Giles]

My couples at the top of the is Buffy/Spike and Xander/Cordelia. First to go Willow and Xander, I aodre them both, but never put them together not ever. Oh yeah Connor/Cordy ugh.

[drusillacakes]

And maybe I'm completely out of line here, but what about Drusilla/Xander? Bewitched, Bothered, Bewildered? Um... I mean the episode, not adjectives to describe the Dru/Xander pairing.

*edit* My mistake! I didn't realize it had already started... still, Dru/Xan, something to think about, eh?
