I always wonder what would have happened if Buffy stayed with Spike in the end. Would she have died too, or could their combined power stop it all?

I love this part...so so true...

“Maybe we can finally forgive each other and move on.” The hopeful note in her voice made him stare at her in awe. “Maybe this is what we both deserve. A second chance to a happy ending?”

Tears were spilling down his cheeks now, but he did no attempt of hiding it. “M’a creature of the night, pet. We don’t get happy endings.”

“Maybe not.” Buffy took a deep breath, her own eyes welling up. “But champions do. And you’re my champion, whether you believe it or not.” He opened his mouth, but she cut him off, gesturing to the fallen amulet on the ground; “Really, that ugly thing wouldn’t lie.” He couldn’t help but chuckle, and she went on; “You saved the world today, Spike. If that doesn’t make you a champion, I don’t know what does.”
