You come with very interesting ideas in these drabbles and their execution is done well too. Giles seing his relationship as some sort of a result of an old wish, from his Ripper time, is an original and very effective way of bringing forth his past. It gives also an ambiguity to the whole relationship: the potential darkness of dating a vampire. The comparison between Oz and Puck is excellent. Puck is a scary character under his prankish appearance and of course Oz hides a wolf under the cool appearance. It works very well. I may be wrong but I find the same ambiguity in the Tara/Giles one: is she reading him well (because after all Giles is a decent man) or is she interpreting real abuse as kindness (there's also a Ripper in Giles)?
