Sometimes I feel like a happy ending/beginning is waiting for them and sometimes I feel like season 9 will be the last we'll see of our ship in canon.
THIS. Except I'm not sure I ever really foresee a happy "ending" for them. I want one, and I don't think it would be unrealistic at all, but I don't think Joss goes by realism when he could string shippers along instead. I think the latter is a more likely possibility; I could see Buffy rejecting him and saying she just wants to be friends and that be the driving force behind giving Spike a series of his own during S10. Spike saying that he wasn't going to stick around if all she wanted was friendship could be setting up his departure from the series. :/
