Flaws and qualities of ships

[Chosen Enemy]

I remember a thread, not too long ago, that asked you to say one flaw and one quality in each character.

So this time it's about ships. Name one flaw and one quality of different ships, whether if you like them or not.

Oh wow this is going to be ridiculously difficult. I'm gonna do a good thing then a bad thing. The bad things have more to do with why they didn't work out. It's hard to come up with one word for a relationship. For serious.

Buffy/Angel - (Intense)(That soul losing thing)
Willow/Oz - (Adorable)(That Werewolf thing)
Xander/Cordy (Hilarious) (Slightly verbally abusive?)
Spike/Dru (Awesome) (That unfaithfulness thing)
Willow/Tara (Great partnership) (That Magic addiction thing)
Buffy/Riley (Cutesy) (Too cutesy)
Xander/Anya (Fun) (That whole leaving at the alter thing)
Spike/Buffy (Ridiculously hot) (That whole beating each other up thing)
Giles/Jenny (So much potential) (That whole Angelus thing)

Angel/Darla (Dramatic) (The vampy-ness thing)
Angel/Cordy (Great connection) (That whole coma thing)
Fred/Gunn (Nice) (Not really right for each other thing)
Fred/Wesley (Adorable) (That whole Illyria thing)
Cordy/Connor (Sorry, I can't do it) (UGH hfreiwofjkdsl)
Angel/Nina (Umm, ok) (I don't like her)

I think that's all I've got.

Some of these never really got to be, so I'm just wild-guessing at what might have gone wrong!

Bangel: Passion/Lacking in substance; a lot of emotion without that "tried and true," tested companionship

Cangel: Its foundation is a wonderful friendship/Never got to determine extent of "romantic" feelings

Cander: Sweet; first "real" requited feelings for both/ wasn't the right timing for them. Maybe if it'd been 5 years later.

Xanya: Real companionship; real love/ again, timing wasn't right.

Dander: Might really be something there; they've certainly been through a lot together/not quite sure I'm ready for this, even though it's definitely happening!

Woz: Adorable; shared interests, sense of humor; tons of potential/ maybe Willow would have met Tara anyway, and fallen in love with her just as she did? Or the werewolf thing would always be an issue?

Tillow: Love and passion/lies, different values re: magic

Killow: Um...comfort?/ what's it based upon, again?

Sprusilla: Served its purpose; kept two evil and lonely un-souls together in a fiery passion for a century/not a spiritual or intellectual match; no real companionship, (which isn't surprising for 2 vampires is it?)

Batsu: A nice, fun experience for both?/Nothing to it, out of thin air... felt like it was done simply to sell more comics, which...ugh.

Fresley: Beautiful, seemed on the verge of something real/ Ilyria.

Frunn: Cute, happy/just not meant to be

Darla/Angel (the vampire years): Um...the time they spent together potentially distracted them and meant slightly less victims?/Fickle, no love, (i.e. worse than Sprusilla in that regard), 2 vampires, etc.

Jiles? Goyce?: Seems like it'd be a great idea; 2 of Buffy's lonely parental figures uniting/ would have made things harder for Buffy in some way?

Jiles? Genny?: Shared interests, shared sense of humor, passion/ could have disagreed on many things, as time went on

Weslah: They needed each other/ Weslah.

Nangel: Who knows?/Who knows?


Spuffy: Real; companionship; tested; transformations for the better/how often will the past make things difficult in the future?
