This is so so good, I love every bit of this - this scene should have been canon. I love Joyce so much, she's tender and fierce and the show really didn't use her to best advantage most of the time, but I'm surprised she doesn't get more love in fandom (aside from Spike, Joyce fics.) She's so important to Buffy and that is THE central relationship in her life. I'm surprised there aren't more fics exploring Joyce, and the mother/daughter bonds.
