If I'm wrong in putting this up, please take it down.
I had a thought today: People are really talking about Batsu (Buffy/Satsu) a lot! There are a whole bunch of Batsu threads, which is fine...
But I really want to talk about how much I love Xacula (Xander/Dracula)! Yes, that's right, I'm a slasher fangirl, but that's okay. I'm well adjusted.
Yes, I know my ship will never sail the seas of cannon, but it's still a fine ship and I will go down with it. Xacula is my OTP (One True Pairing)!
What's your OTP? How has it changed since the comics came out, or has it changed at all? How do we know whose name to put first, or do you just do it whichever way sounds good? Are Fuffy (Faith/Buffy) fans upset about the Batsu simi cannon, or does it give them hope?
Let's chat!

Buffy/Spike will always be my OTP, but I could live with Buffy/Faith or Buffy/Xander in the comics, if single Buffy is out of the question (as in Season 5 of Buffy). Buffy/Satsu I'm not loving so far, if only because I really thought that Buffy had learned her lesson about using people who love her in Season 6, and wanted her to have learned her lesson.
For Xander, I can go with Xander/Renee, Xander/Dawn, Xander/Faith, Xander/Buffy (as I already mentioned), heck, even Xander/Dracula; and for Willow, I'm actually happy with Willow/Kennedy. Might have something to do with the fact that Kennedy has more personality than any of the new Slayers we've met so far, barring Gigi.

It seems like every possible pairing in the Buffyverse is always doomed from the beginning. Seriously, in any other show I've seen people are always meant to be, but in Buffy and Angel nobody stays together forever.
Either way, for season 8, I can see Buffy and Xander finally getting together. It seems like they're a lot closer than they ever have been before. There's obviously the question of Renee and Satsu, but who knows, anything could happen.
My real favorite though would be Buffy/Angel or Willow/Oz, but for the time being anyway, those two pairs seem impossible.

My tops for Buffy would be Bangel. For Willow a close one between Oz and Tara. And Xander Anya.
Id be happy with a little Xacula loving if he wasnt all crusty like in issue 13...

I actually really love Spuffy (spike/buffy), Cordangel (Cordy/Angel...I need a better name for that one, lol), but a fantasy pairing I'd love to see would be Xangel (Xander/Angel)...lol  |

I feel really ignorant but what's OTP? I'm a fan of most ships besides.. Cordy/Angel.. and Buffy/Satsu so far. My first pick is always Buffy/Angel.. but I'm really wanting to see Buffy/Xander eventuate, could be something great. Sorry but Xander/Dracula isn't doing it for me *thinks* well maybe a little. Still seems a little too authority figure/student or ah.. I know there's a better word for that. |

Willow/Tara ;D I'm not one of those shippers that hates everyone else willow is with tho... I just loved that couple. Fantasy couple..., i have loadsss..., buffy/satsu, LOL. Since er, well, lets face it they'll never be a 'couple'. I should probably say a straight couple hey? haha - buffy and angel probably.., i just get the forbidden love thing sucks to be them. |

It could be that, since Dracula has mind control powers and uses them liberally, that anything slashy with Xander would be, by definition, rape. No different from Warren and Katrina. None. Or it could be that Xander's straight. Just a thought  My main 'shipping preference is Buffy/Xander, but for Xander, I'm also open to Xander/Faith, Xander/Dawn, even Xander/Willow if they wanted to use the fact that she used to be in love with him as the "in". I honestly don't 'ship Buffy with anyone else except possibly Faith, although I could probably tolerate her with Spike or Angel, but preferably as humans. |

Spuffy. I don't even know why, they were just perfectly wrong for each other, only not in the Buffy/Riley way. In a good kind of wrong way.

Cordangel (Cordy/Angel...I need a better name for that one, lol) That one usually goes by the name "Cangel". This thread is rendered kind of unnecessary if we all just talk about 'ships that were in the limelight during the televised seasons, and are not big possibilities in Season 8, though (like Spike/Buffy, Angel/Buffy, Angel/Cordelia, Willow/Tara etc). There's a thread in the "Television & Film" section for that; this is the "Season 8" section. |

I have to go with Kenlow Kennedy/Willow they make sense in my head and xangel  yea come on somewhere in your mind it just happened. Spike/Xander anyone have a name for them?Sometime they make a good read. So far I think we need more batsu fic's but my true OTP is Kenlow i am slashathon. lol in my head no buffy or angel cherecter is ever straigth ..except that one time bangle excisted. I hate spuffy for some reason even if it does make sense in my head becuse it actually doesnt. I dont think that sentence made sense.  |

Before the comics, I think my OTP was Xangel.
Now I'm into Xacula, which I hadn't even considered before.
I think Buffy/Faith seems more likely now than ever, but I could be completely wrong. It seemed to me they had that tension in season 3, and it seems like it's being fed back to us.
I'm not big on Batsu, but mostly because I feel like I don't know Satsu well enough. I like Satsu pretty well, but I'm fairly convinced she's going to turn out to be something different from what she appears.
Bander is a tempting prospect. I'd like to see more of it.
I'm hoping they bring Spike back for at least one issue so Buffy can deal with their bond.
I too am hoping Angel one day eats warm gooey cookies.
