Summary: "You Summers women are like diamonds. Beautiful, and as hard as nails - but if you hammer in just the right place, you crack right down the middle."
It takes a lot to make a Summers crack, but Buffy is coming close. While trying to care for her mother and hiding the secret of the Key, a new responsibility comes literally from the sky - to share with Spike.

Rated R on the safe side for mental illness. The others listed aren't too detailed or emphasised, so otherwise a PG-13 would probably have done. More or less canon through series 5. Begins during "Listening to Fear".
