*Interesting*. I agree - I mean, Buffy's not the absent third to nearly the degree she is/can be for Angel and Spike,
*nods* That, for sure. But I also tend to see a lot of my unconventional pairings who had little or no screen time together that way -- Spike/Wesley, Wesley/Connor, Spike/Lindsay, Buffy/Wesley, Spike/Connor are all things that make most sense to me with Angel as the missing pivot, f'rex.
but then again, I tend to see *every* relationship as part of a tapestry, so...
*nods* Inescapeably so. But in this case I feel like the Buffy part of the tapestry's gotten a lot more attention/development than the direct relationship has, so I wanted to even it up a bit.
