Season 7 aired all day today and I got super upset watching it because of the lack of Spuffiness/dumb potentials being super young and annoying/spike dying. If anyone can list their favorite Season 7 fics that are NC17 and either don't have the first or have a Spuffy ending or a different ending entirely from canon I would be most appreciated

Try "Domino Effect" by Anaross.

These are my favourite:

Better Late Than Never by sus
The Slayer knew there would be repercussions if the Scooby Gang ever discovered how close she and Spike had become. She needed time to find a way to fit the illicit relationship into her life, and convinced Spike to keep their love a secret for now. Unfortunately, no secret is safe on the Hellmouth. When the fit hit the shan, the Slayer once again sacrificed herself and her own happiness in order to keep those around her happy. Until one day, when saving the world, and maybe even saving the Slayer, all came down to one peroxide vampire and the strength of his love.

To Wed A Vampire by Joyful Dayz
(sorry don't a have a summary for this one, but in general, Spike claims Buffy to increase her power)
and it's sequel:
A New Day by Joyful Dayz

Embracing Darkness by SlayrGrl
There is one thing that Buffy Summers has feared since she became the slayer. It is her worst nightmare, and now she must face it. After rejecting the Shadowmen's offer to make her more powerful Buffy realizes that she isn't strong enough to win in the fight against the First. Now there is only one option left to give her the strength she needs. To win Buffy must die, but can Spike bring himself to damn her?

Deserving by Kaylorin
Begins directly after Grave. My season 7. Loosely based on spoilers and speculation available at the time. Buffy has begun her life after the events of Tara's death. Spike has changed for her. There is a new BB that brings Buffy back to her roots as The Slayer.

Sorry I can't give you links for them (in a rush to go), but those should be here on SR or can be found via google

Sorry, I'm not a member and can't post links, so I had to break it up like that...

These suggestions and that thread help out tremendously! Thank you all

Although not *just* season seven, The Unexpected Universe does re-do that season within the very first story of that series... with much more Spuffy results, IMO ...
