a really really random question for people who are more widely read in buffyverse fandom than i am

[lirazel]

Although my flist might not be the best place to ask this:

Are there many Buffy/Angel fics where Buffy and Spike are really good friends? Because I was thinking the other day about how much I enjoy writing Angel as a friend to Buffy and Spike in my future 'verse, and how much I enjoy whenever he pops up in other people's stuff in a similar way. And I was wondering if the other side of the "shipper debate" (whatever--like what you like! I don't care! Am I supposed to get upset about it or something? I don't!) enjoys writing a Buffy-Spike friendship in the same way. Anybody know?

Oh, I've read some of her Buffy/Angelus stuff! She's good! Though I have to admit that the idea of Spike/Dawn squicks me. Eeeck!

Up until S8, I didn't really have any problem imagining Buffy and Angel as "just friends," though I knew it would take some work to get there. Post-S8 is a whole 'nother story, though, unfortunately.
