summer_of_giles | What are your Favorite Giles Crossovers?

So, in lieu of a post today, how about a fic rec discussion?

One of the things I've found in fandom is how it expands your horizons. Even shows or books or other fandoms that I didn't realize I loved, I learned to love once they were crossed with my favorite Watcher.

And some of the most interesting fics at

summer_of_giles have been crossovers. Here are just a few of my favorites:

Bibliophilia (Btvs/Merlin) by

glimmergirl where Glim explores Merlin's long life... through the young eyes of our favorite Watcher.

Everything Changes (Btvs/Torchwood) by

starshine24mc where Michele wonders what would happen if Jack and Giles were to encounter each other in a dark alley one night.

Recruit (Btvs/Harry Potter) by

ubiquirk who imagines a Watcher's council that needs to recruit that irascible wizard Severus Snape.

(though seriously, just check out the crossover tag because every one is worth reading).

And one of my all time favorite old-school crossovers is by

elementalv's The Key's Watcher / Dark Haven series (found here if you scroll down the page), where Giles and Dawn are transported into the Anita Blake-verse (written by Laurel Hamilton). When I read these for the first time I realized how *much* I liked the characters from the AB-verse, but also how much cooler they were when Elementalv was writing them because we could see them through Giles' eyes. (And also, Jean-Claude actually got to have some fun with Giles, which I think was good for them both).

So, what are your favorite crossovers?? Links? Share with the comm!

Its super long but so good.

awesome!! I haven't read it, and I'm excited :D

It takes a long time to get through. But the interaction is perfect. I love how the story tells the story of them as students.

...was actually a crossover. I had just discovered big Giles-lust, and the rule back then for me was if I liked 'em, Fox Mulder got to sleep with 'em! Plus, X-Files had this sweet vampire episode that was just begging for a rewrite!

As long as you know Fox Mulder went to school at Oxford, you can probably enjoy this w/out being a big x-phile :)

I concur that elementalv's Key Watcher is fantastic. Also she has a very good and believable one that is Giles/Grissom of CSI. It is on the same site as the Key's Watcher. Can't remember the name of the story, but it involves LiLah from Angel and takes place right after the end of season 5.
I think she also has crossovers with Quantum Leap and a very good Giles with Fray (Wheadon's comic book slayer). They are all on the same site.
