Something next to normal, that's the thing I'd like to try

Exactly. And I am pretty much a Spuffy shipper because Buffy and Spike are absolutely my favorite characters in anything ever, so that makes them doubly awesome as a couple. Plus there's all the cool things they stand for as a ship so it's like this perfect storm of awesomeness. I love Cordy and I like Angel, and I like a lot of the things C/A is about, but not nearly with the same level of irrational craziness. :)
