10 BTVS ships (in romantic/non-romantic way)

1. Buffy Summers/Spike

Spike: You listen to me. I’ve been alive a bit longer than you and dead a lot longer than that. I’ve seen things you couldn’t imagine and done things I’d prefer you didn’t. I don’t exactly have a reputation for being a thinker. I follow my blood which doesn’t exactly rush in the direction of my brain so I make a lot of mistakes. A lot of wrong bloody calls. A hundred plus years and there’s only one thing I’ve ever been sure of. You.
Hey, look at me. I’m not asking you for anything. When I say I love you, it’s not because I want you, or because I can’t have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I’ve seen your kindness and your strength. I’ve seen the best and the worst of you and I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You are a hell of a woman.
You’re the one, Buffy.

2. Willow Rosenberg/Daniel “Oz” Osbourne

Oz: Oh, look! Monkey! And he has a little hat. And little pants.
Willow: Yeah, I see!
Oz: The monkey’s the only cookie animal that gets to wear clothes, you know that?
You have the sweetest smile I’ve ever seen.
So I’m wondering, do the other cookie animals feel sorta ripped? Like is the hippo going, ‘Hey, man, where are my pants? I have my hippo dignity!’
And you know the monkey’s just, ‘I mock you with my monkey pants!’ And there’s a big coup in the zoo.
Willow: The monkey is French?
Oz: All monkeys are French.

4. Buffy Summers/Rupert Giles

Buffy: Does it ever get easy?
Giles: You mean life?
Buffy: Yeah. Does it get easy?
Giles: What do you want me to say?
Buffy: Lie to me.
Giles: Yes, it’s terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies and everybody lives happily ever after.
Buffy: Liar.

6. Xander Harris/Anya Jenkins

Anya: ‘I, Anya, want to marry you, Xander, because I love you and I’ll always love you. And before I knew you, I was like a completely different person. Not even a person, really… and I had seen what love could do to people and it was hurt and sadness. Alone was better. And then suddenly there was you and… you knew me. You saw me and it was this… thing. You make me feel safe and warm.’

8. Spike/Joyce Summers

Spike: Don’t make a lot of noise. Passions is coming on.
Joyce: Passions? Oh, do you think Timmy’s really dead?
Spike: Oh! No, she can just sew him back together. He’s a doll, for god’s sake.
Joyce: What about the wedding? I mean, there’s no way they’re going to go through with that.

9. Rupert Giles/Anya Jenkins

Anya: I never know what you’re talking about. Loo, shag, brolly… what the hell is all that?
Giles: What? There’s no way that you could remember me saying any of those words.
Anya: Oh, bugger off, you brolly.

10. Willow Rosenberg/Xander Harris

Xander: The first day of kindergarten you cried because you broke the yellow crayon and you were too afraid to tell anyone. You’ve come pretty far- ending the world not a terrific notion- but the thing is, yeah, I love you. I love crayon-breaky Willow and I love scary-veiny Willow so if I’m going out, it’s here. If you want to kill the world… well, then start with me. I’ve earned that.
Willow: You think I won’t?
Xander: It doesn’t matter. I’ll still love you.
