summer_of_giles | FIC: Candy Men, 1/2

I cannot believe it's July 28th already, but it is! Here is my offering for today.

Title: Candy Men, 1/2
Author:

sahiya
Pairing/Rating: R, Giles/Wesley
Word Count: 17,600
Disclaimer: Not mine! They belong to Joss and Mutant Enemy. Some bits of dialogue belong to Jane Espenson, who wrote the utterly brilliant "Band Candy."
Summary: Set in the same 'verse as Unprecedented. Buffy hasn't told Giles Angel is back. Giles hasn't told Buffy he and Wes are together. The SATs are on Saturday and Faith is refusing to take them. And then Ethan Rayne's candy gets involved.
Author's Note: This is for my last

summer_of_giles day, but it's a sequel to "Unprecedented," which I posted last May; I highly recommend you read that one first, because this is an S3 AU and you might end up rather confused. I suppose all you really need to know, though, to make this story make sense, is that in "Faith, Hope, and Trick," Faith showed up with her watcher, Wesley, instead of on her own.

Thanks to

As usual for multipart stories, I'll post part now and part this evening. Feedback is love!
