Buffy & Angel Meta Masterlist.

Buffy and Angel Meta Masterlist
Putting this list together, I was again struck by just how much there is to say about the Buffy verse! I’ve kept the descriptions ultra-short, but hopefully fairly easy to suss out. (Also please pardon some of the HTML being uncoded. Will get there at some point - right now, life is too short...)

But first of all, because I don't know where it fits, since it isn't meta, My 'Buffy History'.
