I think they had A go for Q in 1897 just to repeat 1795 with BC and A, and to repeat something that worked. I think they probably meant it to be sincere on A's part at the time, but changed their minds when they saw it wasn't going anywhere, once it had served its other purpose, in setting off Beth's jealousy so she could finish off/not finish off Q.
I think Julia did keep coming down hard on BC every time there was any hint of there being victims. Of his, I mean. Of his vampirism. She didn't turn him in to the police or anything... [spoiler](Wait she did... not not yet!)[/spoiler] but for his own good as well as for others, she kept a sharp semi-judgemental eye on him. Of course A created the evil in him, but still, who else would ever understand it but her? BC wrought a lot of havoc, and he also had a certain amount of free will, it turned out. They're alike.
What might be getting in the way of understanding the possibility of this relationship, and how it ended, is that A and BC just have to be radically, fundamentally different people than any of us on this board could possibly ever be. We're talking about how romance and attraction and hatred work in the context of our fairly comfortable, unchallenged lives (unless any of us are outlaws or warlocks or anything). We're talking about how we would feel or react. But their situations have little or nothing in common with ours. (The stretches of time involved change everything, just by themselves.) One reason we watch shows like this one is to experience experiences we have no access to, and part of that is to stretch our imaginations, and try to see how people this different and who are taking so much more of a bizarre, extreme, surreal battering from life think, feel, and react.
Even with Julia around, BC is alone, more so than most people could ever imagine. And if BC can come around to forgiving himself, I think, after all that's happened, he could finally forgive Angelique. Life takes those strange twists and turns.
