For those seeking an antidote to the woes of the last two seasons of BtVS, I found one over at adultfanfiction.net, called "One Clear Shot", by Queen Boadicea, the reigning queen of Spuffy-bashing!

I don't usually recommend Buffy/Angel stories, especially those with explicit sex, but this one impressed me with its decidedly alternate(ie. anti-Spuffy) view of Season Seven, especially the inconsistencies in characterization and the slow death of the Scooby Gang. In this time-travel themed story, Buffy goes to sleep after the events of 'Earshot', and wakes up four years later, somewhere midway through 'Empty Spaces'. After speaking to Giles and reading her diary, she is shocked at what she learns, notably 1) Angel's departure, 2) Dawn's existence, 3) her mom's death,4) Willow's fall into darkness, and above all else, 5) the fact that she would put Spike ahead of her true friendships! (That thing about Willow being a lesbian isn't as much of a shock, especially after 'Dopplegangland') When she finds herselfback in her own time, she is bound and determined to make some changes, not only in time but in herself.

A surprisingly thoughtful story, with a poingiant view of Buffy's friendships and how they've changed over the years. A graphic but romantic B/A scene toward the end, but that's easily skimmed over.
