Violet/Tate - I know they probably won't last, but I can't help but ship them anyways!

Mary/Matthew




Mary/Carson

"You didn’t know her when she was a child, Mrs Hughes. She was a guinea a minute then. I remember once she came in here, she can’t have been more than four or five years old. She said, ‘Mr Carson, I’ve decided to run away and I wonder if I might take some of the silver to sell.’ ‘Well, ’ I said, ‘that could be awkward for his Lordship. Suppose I give you sixpence to spend in the village instead?’ ‘Very well, ’ says she. ‘But you must be sure to charge me interest.’… She gave me a kiss in full payment."

I'm on season one but seriously I forgot how absolutely amazing the show is right from the start

This is flawless

There will never be a couple like them. There will never be two other characters that bring all the best and all the worst of each other and know/understand each other so well. I love how it started with them being enemies and then allies and how the understanding and brutal honesty between them existed from the beginning. I think despite them being so different on the surface, they very so much alike and it helped them to communicate so well. They both relied on their emotiona and instincts, they both rebelled against the rules, they both were willing to die for the ones they loved. Spike was a soulles vampire and yet unlike other vampires he wanted to feel, he wanted to feel everything, that's why he wasn't afraid of meeting slayer like other vampires, he desired it, he wanted to kill her or die trying because it gave him the rush of emotions he needed. And Buffy was different from other slayers as well, because her power was in her heart, her bonds with her family and friends, her real strength she got from her mother, not from the slayer power. Just like Buffy ended up being an unique slayer Spike ended up being an unique vampire. He did something no other vampire in history ever did before - fought for his soul - just like Buffy did something no other slayer did before. They were enemies, they were friends, they were in love, they were king and queen, they saved the world when everyone else was only capable of destroying it further. They hated each other with passion and loved each other with more passion. They had to trust each other when they couldn't trust anyone else and ended up willingly trusting each other with eyes closed. This is how far they had come. There will never be a couple like them, a couple with so much depth and so much of everything.
