This was something that was posted on the Where the Wild Things are thread but I thought that it deserves special attention.

Anya & Xander, high-school goof-ball meets the anthropomorphic personification of "Hell hath no fury...". For a show that specialises in 'unconventional' couples this pair have simply got to top the list.
When the two first met she was just another demon-of-the-week to him and he was just another cheating-male-ape soon to be lined up before Rowan Atkinson's extremely small guillotine to her. Anya lost her power though and her obsession with her target turned to something more.
Since then Buffy and the gang have seen highs and lows, felt sadness and gladness, met new friends and faced old enemies, most of which Xander and Anya have missed as they were too busy <insert here Anya's finger gesture from Hush> in Xander's basement 'studio'.
They've had their problems though, they've had to learn that a relationship is based on more than a common interest in orgasms, it requires a certain depth of feeling, and perhaps they've both surprised the other and themselves with how deep their true feelings really are. But now, there are doubts. Doubts strong enough to tear them apart?
I ask you:
Should Xander and Anya break up? Or will those two crazy kids find Happiness on a Hellmouth?
Whichever you decide you can be sure that (to paraphrase one of the commentators of Clinton's lapses of memory during his impeachment)
"a man may forget many things, places, names faces... but no man ever forgets his first spanking."
