Buffy is friends with people other than the scoobies

I was wondering if there were any Spuffy fics with Buffy being close friends with people who aren't her canon BFFs (e.g. Willow, Xander, etc.) So like people from the AI Team (Fred, Cordy, Gunn, etc.) or maybe just having a close, preferably in-character but it doesn't have to be, friendship with any of the second-string scoobies (Anya, Tara, etc.).

I wanted to see if there were actually any fanfics with Buffy being friends with characters Buffy hadn't met because of being on different shows (e.g. Fred, etc.) or her being close friends with Anya - I'd love to see a blunt Anya and evasive Buffy actually having a functional and non-condescending friendship!

The fic can be AU, AH, canon, or whatever!

Thanks in advance, CeCe x

Buffy the Vampire Slayer by maryperk
Faith Lehane was called instead of Buffy Summers. When Faith dies for a few seconds at the hands of the Master, Buffy the unknown potential still living in Los Angeles is called unbeknownst to the Council. This fact is discovered when Faith sacrifices herself in her sister's place four years later. Buffy and her own group of Scoobies come to Sunnydale. Will Faith's friends and family accept this new Slayer?

Buffy's group, besides Spike, includes Wesley, Fred, Sam Lawson and a werewolf named Dot Hill

I don't know if this completely fits your criteria but in Dreams and Desotos by Bloodshedbaby http://spikeluver.com/SpuffyRealm/viewstory.php?sid=3723 she and Spike are friends with people in another town.

I'Ve read Buffy the Vampire Slayer by maryperk - great fic! Well actually anything by maryperk is great, so thank you anyway, Asharah!

And if Buffy is friends with people who aren't the Scoobies (no matter if they're an OC or AI or second stringers), I see it as fitting my criteria. Thank you katkot81, I'm going to be checking out Dreams and Desoto in a minute

Thanks, CeCe x
