I don't ship them, necessarily, but when I think of them fondly, it is not their "true love" ... it is those episodes when they fight to be the people they are outside of each other.... which is mostly BtVS s4 I'd say... when their idealism shatters.
but it is also heartbreaking (and necessary) that they hold onto that, as well. after Joyce dies, when Buffy comes back, and they remind each other of perfect selves they both know they never were and can't ever be...
I just talked myself into shipping BAngel. what even.
