I've been in the mood for Buffy bashing fics lately. Can anyone point me in the direction of some well written spike/xander fics with a side of buffy bashing? You know the fics where buffy and/or the scooby gang under estimates/under appreciates xander but he gains skill/confidence/etc with the help of spike or new friends/family/etc.
Gypsy Grey has two series that contain what you're looking for, Even the Losers and Not the Only Ones. Both are found on her author page at UCSL. Although they're not so much just Buffy-bashing as the rest of the scooby gang-bashing.

The beginning briefly has Xander/Buffy, but after she breaks up with him and the S/X starts, it's Buffy bashing all the way.
