Catharsis, or: Buffy Yells at the Scoobies (a lot) by St Ephiny
Summary: A series of one-shot stories in which Buffy gives the Scoobies a well-deserved dressing down.  These are completely self-indulgent, meant to deal with moments of frustration with Buffy's friends.  This is not to say that she was ever perfect - but that she should have gotten in a few licks of her own with her intervention-happy responsibility-skipping friends.
