Fics like What They Shouldn't Have To

Giles has to accept that Willow understands him more than he’d like. He needs her help with his injury if he’s going to stop Glory’s apocalypse. And help with something else that Buffy bloody well won’t talk about. My attempt to answer some questions - how did Giles feel about Buffy’s threat to kill him and anyone who might try to stop her from letting the whole universe die (“including Dawn”) if it meant she had to sacrifice Dawn? (The full impact of that won’t hit him this early, future installment foreshadowing here). How did Willow transition to the leader of the Slayerettes? Most of all, how the hell did Giles dive “once more unto the breach” a couple of hours after a spear wound, a vehicle flip, hours of bleeding out, and emergency surgery in a filthy gas station performed by an intern who was apparently subletting from Glory?
