Goodreads asked Stephen C. Merlino:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Stephen C. Merlino Falstaff and prince Hal, because so much excellent wit and merriment comes from it, yet it is not without some complexity and gray.

Buffy and Spike, because they are both so badass and perfect for wach other, yet their love is doomed (in his case) or lacking (in hers) and so fraught with guilt and unrequited longing.
