I so started to respond to this last night and I hit something and lost the whole comment. I was to tired to care at that point. Anyway, Buffy/Spike:
I shipped them before S4. That's before Something Blue and everything that followed. I was a Spike fan from the beginning. I was a Spike lover when he walked down the street in Halloween and said it was neat. And I've always loved Buffy. So them together was just...neat!
Spike, unlike Angel, loved Buffy not in spite of what she was but because of it. To begin with at least. If that were to all go away, he still would have loved her.
Even after reading the S8 comics, Angel was manipulated and therefore manpulated Buffy into something they weren't and was evil. Meanwhile, Spike was just Spike and everything they had was still there.
Spike changed into something he thought Buffy would want and not because she asked. Though she did appreciate it. Giving the choice to spend the night with anyone (including Angel) she wanted on the possible last night of her life, she chose Spike. When she said she loved him in the finale, I don't think she was telling him what he wanted to hear. I think she just realized it herself. And he I think he knew she meant it. He just wouldn't let her sacrifice herself for him.
In conclusion: Spike/Buffy=Sexy, Happy, Good Times
