Day 14 - Couple you liked even though you knew it would end up badly



Cordelia Chase/Xander Harris

I liked these two! They could drive each other to absolute distraction, both the good way and the bad way. Snark and sarcasm plus some cutting wit - they combined them in some fascinating ways when together. Both of them used their attitudes as a shield - Cordelia's popular girl hid a caring heart while Xander's class clown his a strong loyalty. Both of them got involved in fighting darkness ~ even if it was often less-than-enthusiastic on Cordy side. She still did get involved as did he.

You had to know it would end badly though. Cordelia had no intention of staying in Sunnydale while Xander would not leave Buffy and Willow to fight alone. A long distance romance would never have worked with these two. They need someone with them to shield, lean on, and fight with. Still, I thought their strengths and weaknesses balanced each other out.
