Because it's been a while, previously on "All Quiet on the Summers Front":
Buffy has followed Faith to LA following the events of This Year's Girl, which occurred pretty much as in canon, minus all the Riley stuff. Spike is watching Dawn and Joyce, and reminiscing over the past year or so while he reads through Dawn's memories of the same events. Last chapter, we got to see how Spike's presence altered the Cruciamentum, and how Buffy placed a bit of trust in him for maybe the first time, asking him to watch over her family while she deals with the Council.
Beta'd by trevino with so so so much care and encouragement!
