Show: BtVS
Category: Post-Series
Pairing: Buffy/Giles
Notes: For dhw. This was meant to be a new year fic, but 2020 decided to be eventful straight out of the gate. Title is, of course, from the Beatles' "I Am The Walrus."

Category: Post-Series, Black Horse Comic!verse (as of BTVS Season 11 and issue #3 of the Giles mini-series)
Pairing: Buffy/Giles
Notes: My second fic for this year's summer_of_giles. This is actually a sequel to my fic Wasted on the Young. You don't have to read that story to understand this one, but I think it's more fun if you do.

Title: The Visitor
Show: BtVS
Category: Post-ep for 5.22 "The Gift"
Warnings: Mentions of suicide and worries about suicidal impulses
Notes: This is my first entry for summer_of_giles . My deepest thanks goes to dhw for the encouragement and meticulous read-through. In my head, I think of this as an AU, but it hopefully works within canon.

( That's when they say I lost my only friend... )

FF: A Waggly Tale

2019-06-21T02:32:05Z

Title: A Waggly Tale
Show: BtVS
Category: post-series
Pairing: B/G
Notes: This is for 51kas81 as a great big thank you for everything she does to keep the Giles fandom alive and kicking. She requested that Giles have a dog, preferably a terrier or a beagle. (I also wrote a pre-season drabble from the prompt, which you can find here.)

This is all-dialog. So, to make things easier, Buffy's lines will be written like this and Giles will be like this.

Title: Retirement Plans
Show: BtVS
Category: Post-Series
Notes: The is my third entry for summer_of_giles this year. (You didn't miss the second. It was a double drabble and I haven't cross-posted it over here, yet.) A big thank you to dhw for checking this over and helping Giles sound more like Giles. A very important thing in a all dialog fic! And since I am one of the people responsible for the Giles blog over on Tumblr, I abused my power and arranged for this to be posted right about the same time. It felt appropriate.

Title: Biblio
Show: BtVS
Category: Season 1 Gen
Notes: Written for 2018 summer_of_giles It's been a crazy busy summer, with very little downtime. (Not surprising since that's pretty much been 2018 for me!) This wasn't exactly the fic I had planned for SoG, but hopefully it will amuse!

Category: Post-Series, Comic!verse (as of BTVS Season 11 and issue #3 of the Giles mini-series)
Pairing: Buffy/Giles
Notes: This is very belated birthday fic for the brilliant dhw . Her birthday was months ago, but shortly after I finished the fic and sent it off to her, my own life got a little bonkers! Now that things have finally calmed down, I can finally share this with the rest of you.

Ficlet: High and Dry

2017-11-22T01:55:36Z

Title: High and Dry
Show: BtVS
Category: Post-Series
Pairing: Buffy/Giles
Notes: This was equally inspired by the giles_shorts prompt "Horsepower" and by the Radiohead song "High and Dry. More for the mood that the song than the actual lyrics, other than the "flying on your motorcycle" line, of course.

( Don't leave me high... Don't leave me dry... )

We had a Halloween Fic Fest over at giles_shorts. I originally had a story about Buffy and Giles investigating a haunted boarding school. Unfortunately, I got sick at the worse possible time. So I offer you drabbles instead!

Couple of Double Drabbles

2017-10-02T17:51:48Z

So I was recently made co-mod over at giles_shorts ! Not only that, littleotter73 but and I have started a Giles related Tumbler blog, for all your Giles visual needs. So, I clearly am not sully immersed in the Giles fandom. This month's theme over at Giles Shorts has been "Giles's Record Collection" with additional prompts and sub-prompts each week. I wound up writing these two double drabbles as a result.

FF: Kids Today

Title: Kids Today

Show: BtVS

Category: Post-series, comic!verse inspired

Rating: PG
Notes: Written for summer_of_giles. This takes roughly place sometime after Season 10 of the comics, but be warned, this is written by someone who has only skimmed the comics. That's why I say it's comic!verse inspired, not necessarily compliant!

FF: People Watching

Title: People Watching
Series: Est Omne Iustus Academici
Show: BtVS
Category: Post-series
Rating: G
Pairings: B/G
Notes: This is a slightly different take on things for me. Normally I write discrete stories told in ether one-shots or chronologically arranged parts, but I keep coming up with ideas about this particular post-Chosen world. So, while this might be my first story in this worl, it hopefully won't be my last. Written for summer_of_giles .This is set shortly before the Angel episode "The Girl in Question", but you don't have to watch that episode to know what's going on.

SoG Drabbles

So summer_of_giles had a First Line/Last Line Drabble Challenge and it was excellent!! Normally, I only include three or four drabbles to one post, but I don't want to spam the majority of my friends' Reading pages with stuff they already saw. So here they all are, all at once.

Pairings: B/G
Notes: My first offering for this year's summer_of_giles. This picks up right after that last closing shot of Buffy smiling. (Also, while I didn't intend them to be companion pieces, my fic In Midst of the End works as an effective prequel.) The movie that Buffy quotes is Hard Day's Night.
