Wow. It's been years since I was into the Buffy fandom, but someone pointed me here on a reccomendation and I fell in love with this. The characters voices are perfect, and even the narration feels so Buffy, like it was plucked from a show script or novellization.

Personal favorite bits include Joyce "counseling" Spike, Giles trying to get out of dinner with Joyce and Buffy, and the concert, but I just adore this whole fic. I hope you don't mind if I save it to my memories. :)

Great work!
