...that she's trying to live a normal life with Dawn, or that she's out there kicking evil ass as was rumoured in Angel's season 5 (I say rumoured, because we don't actually SEE her...

)

'Normal' Chrisisall

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.

She's probably still shagging the Immortal.

I don't think Buffy could ever give up being a Slayer - remember in 'Helpless' when she had to deal with not being the slayer anymore she said somealong the lines of "Now I've seen what's out there how could I go back to being normal" (I totally got that wrong). So she could never not be a slayer, knowing that by inaction innocent people would die.
So I figure she's fighting the good fight, but, in style.

Well, we'll all find out what she's really been doing soon... Joss has started to write a season 8 comic book that will debut in March. It's a real canon direct-from-Joss's brain story that's supposed to go for 20+ issues (like a full tv season).

I don't think Buffy wants a normal life. I think she wants the option of a normal life. Like, maybe she could take a weekend off and hang out at the beach and not worry so much about an apocalypse since she has thousands of other slayers to back her up. She likes kicking ass, but she didn't like having the burden of being the chosen one. Faith is out of the slammer and not evil plus there's bunches of other little slayerettes running around. Once there's a good solid core of well-trained slayers I'd imagine there would be a lot less of that woe is me, I'm all alone angst that Buffy always had. That's not to say her life is angst-free, then she wouldn't be Buffy.

But no, definitely not a normal life whatsoever.

Dating an immortal...something (I keep thinking she's dating Methos from Highlander

) is a definite sign she's not a regular co-ed American girl gone wild in Rome.

Joss said she's still slaying, so she's still slaying. As for the did she/didn't she have sex with Spike at the end there, when Joss said it was up to us to decide what we wanted to believe, I say, no, absolutely not, she's cookie dough, and until Joss says otherwise, I'm doubting the seriousness of her relationship with the Immortal, too.

I'm holding out for Buffy and Xander, gorrammit!!!

I don't think she's that serious with the Immortal either. But in fanfic the guy is always secretly horribly evil and about to do something terrible while Buffy remains completely unaware. I don't think he's like that at all. Buffy is not that dumb, she has pretty good instincts. Plus, the only reason why people think the Immortal is a villian is because Spike and Angel hate him. Their big beef back in the 19th century was that Angel us and Spike wanted to slaughter a bunch of nuns and the Immortal stopped them. Having a threeway with Darla and Dru is weird revenge, but it's still better than murder.

I don't think Buffy will ever get with Xander. Maybe a drunken despressive one night fling...maybe. Girls hardly ever overcome that designated "he's like a brother to me" label they put on guys. I mean, I'm a girl so that's just my observation about life. But what do I know, if I describe a guy as being like my brother, then I mean he's a racist misogynist bigot since my actual brother is an asshole. But typically, girls love guys who are "like a brother to me", but it's hard to make the switch to boyfriend material, because girls generally don't want to have sex with their brothers.

Plus Buffy likes supernaturally-charged sex, which keeps poor Xander out of the running yet again. She tried normal with Riley and that was a mess. Maybe if she attempted normal again, it would be with Xander, but I don't think she's at that point yet.

My point in a Buffy/Xander pairing is that he's got everything she actually needs to be happy (in a relationship). She's always fixated on impossible relationships with men she couldn't possibly have a real future with (Angel,Spike). The one supposedly healthy relationship she had was actually a rebound (Riley). Xander is her best friend, the one who has been with her through thick and thin, good times and bad. She's said it herself, he's her strength. As for her needing supernaturally-charged sex, well, she'll bring that part to the relationship herself. Xander wouldn't mind! Look at the sex life he had with Anya...at 1100 years old, she would know if he were a slouch in that department, yet I don't remember her complaining much.

Anyway, I don't see it happening either. That's just a fantasy for me (and Nick Brendon and SMG, too, apparently since they both approached Joss about it during season 7) that Buffy, eventually, down the line, after she's figured herself out and is mature enough to handle a healthy adult relationship, that she finally look at Xander the way he deserves to be seen, after all these years.
