That is sad I don't think there were any winners in this triangle. Wesley never got a proper chance to be with her, and Gunn/Fred was destroyed for no real reason.

I always felt that they cheapened Fred's character in Season 4. Why would she get mad at Gunn for killing the Professor? She knows why he did it - because he loves her. He didn't want her to do it, because he knew she wouldn't be able to live with herself.

Same goes for Gunn - he couldn't bear Fred touching him afterward. The whole drama was so contrived. I think it was an excuse to lead up to Wesley coming back into the group.

So great to see someone else that loves them like I do!
Oh, for sure They deserved more love in the fandom.

They were so cute together at the ballet, when Gunn was teasing her about "one last kiss"
