1. Buffy and Spike, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003)

Buffy: I'm using you. I can't love you. I'm just being weak, and selfish -- 

Spike: -- really not complaining here -- 

Buffy: -- and it's killing me. I have to be strong about this. I'm sorry.

- “As You Were”

What better example of a couple who are constantly drawn together, but keep destroying each other? Buffy and Spike begin as enemies, become uneasy allies, become stalker-and-his-stalkee, become lovers, become enemies again, become… what?

Spike, we know, is very constant in his affections. For a soulless vampire, he is surprisingly sentimental. He stayed with his vampire Dru for over a century. So, when he falls for Buffy, he falls hard.

For Buffy, of course, it’s more complicated. She’s not drawn into healthy, stable relationships, and her relationship with Spike is probably the least healthy one of the lot. Buffy doesn’t get together with Spike to make herself happy—she does it to degrade herself, to punish herself, and to try and reclaim sensation and emotion after the trauma of her… well… death.

And we are fascinated. Should they be together? No, of course not. They are terrible together. But we are endlessly fascinated.
