Looking back, you would never have dreamt that Buffy and Spike would be the pairing to close out the show. But they did and it was so right.
I know! It still kinda surprises me. Because I've spent so much time saying "Buffy and Spike are IT, for all these literary/mature/unarguable reasons and everything here and here points to it, face up and realize this is the real, real thing for both of them... and yet, my paranoid side always feared that in the end madness would win out and Buffy would declare her eternal love and fidelity to Angel or something. Because Spike (and to some degree, Spuffy shippers as a result) has always unfairly been shorted out of EVERYTHING, love most of all. So I still get a fluffy sappy romantic buzz when I realize that we weren't shorted, that we GOT the best, that our ship effectively won out. ::gets weepy for Spike finally getting the best of something, instead of the lesser half:: ::gets weepy for Buffy for finally having the kind of love she could never hold onto with others::
Every once in a while I still get this desire to jump up and down and shout "We got it! We got it! Go Buffy&Spike!!! WHEEEEEEE!!"
