King in the North
Doesn't have to be just the Buffyverse (although they can obviously be in it), but leave out movies.
Mine are, and let me know what you think of them,:
1) Buffy and Angel: To me, Buffy and Angel are the ultimate love story. I've never seen a romance that has made me feel more than them. I just lived and died through them watching both shows. Just love in it's purest, most perfect form, that even if they aren't together, they'll still always be with one another.
2) Jack and Kate (LOST): Watching them hold each other up through everything was special. If Bangel is my perfect version of love, I don't think I've ever identified with a romance more than Jack and Kate. Jack just never, ever quitting, to the point where it became a character flaw instead of a strength, was sad and special at the same time. The ending made the series for me, and is my all time favorite ending to a romance.
3) Buffy and Spike: So different than Buffy and Angel, but still incredible. Spike's overall character arc through his relationship with Buffy is one of the best I've ever seen. And like Jack and Kate, the ending couldn't have been better. It had it's own very unique feel to it that was just amazing.
4) Clark and Lana (Smallville): They had such an innocent, tender relationship. To me, Smallville ended when Clark and Lana did. Clark with Lois later on in the series never felt real simply because Clark and Lana's story though seven seasons was SO special, and epitomized two people being "The One" for each other.
5) Angel and Cordelia: There have been better pure "romances" (after all, Angel and Cordy weren't ever really together for very long), but I can't think of a better example of two friends being so close. I think they were both in love, even though it never materialized (some very questionable writing killed that). As with many things in reality, life just got in the way for them. But them driving to meet each other on the point in the S3 finale was a truly special moment. The way they grow together over the series is just amazing.
(I know, I know, stocked with Buffyverse relationships. Sue me. Both series had better characters than any show I've seen).
One honorable mention for me is Penny and Leonard from The Big Bang Theory. Much lighter than the others I picked, but they're just so great together.
