Characters: Angel, Buffy, Buffybot, Spike
Summary:

Willow succeeded in re-programming the bot. In fact, she did a really good job at recreating teenage Buffy's personality in her adult body.

Somehow, the bot ends up with Angel. The perfect girl acting exactly as he imagines that she should... he ends up with his moment of perfect happiness (not necessarily through sex, it could just be having her as a perfect submissive partner or anything else; it's up to you).

Meanwhile, Spike and Buffy are together on the Hellmouth. How do they react when one of Angel's team calls in a panic?

Can be set any time after the resurrection. 

Does not need to take itself seriously. 

Have fun!

The lovely Myrabeth has expanded on my idea with a more in depth plot but she is refusing to start another fic (understandably, considering the sheer number of WIPs she has). So this is what Myra thinks could happen:

 

Willow goes all in on bot work and reprogramming as a means of keeping herself busy while she's on the no-magic wagon. That coincides with the Spuffy warming up. The bot outs Spuffy before the Dead Things beat down can happen, and everyone has to make decisions about what they think (Buffy especially) once the relationship is brought into the light of day. Meanwhile, Willow is still tinkering with the bot, earning lots of comments about the increasingly realistic personality, and comparisons to the contemporary Buffy. Distracted by all of this, Buffy isn't patrolling the night Katrina is killed. Trio is arrested off-screen (Warren can break out and/or Jonathan and Andrew plea deals can be struck if any of them are needed in the story later).

Then someone mentions off-handedly where Angel is in the bot's earshot. The next day, no one can find the bot, and the whole gang is forced to work together to try to find her, helping to heal a lot of wounds. By the time they get a call from Wesley, the Scoobies are mostly working well together, and Buffy is hesitantly trying to treat Spike like a real boyfriend. They head off to LA as a group... the very weekend Riley rolls back into Sunnydale. He finds everyone gone, and redirects his mission to finding them, triggering some spats with Sam. They end up tracking the gang to LA just in time for the "we fixed everything and its happy smoochy time" ending to the Angelus/Bot adventure.
