For my first summer_of_giles story this year, I gave poor Giles some post-series angst in Being Normal, so it seemed only fitting to bookend it with some pre-series angst, because I just love to make the poor man suffer :)

Thanks again to katekat1010 and il_mio_capitano for being brilliant mods and to everyone who makes this community such a pleasure to hang out in every year.

I love how you have written his difficulty in leaving Ethan even after what happened and Ethan's place in it. Typical of toxic relationships. Great to see Giles' vulnerability and his growing up through hard times.

Thank you so much. I'm thrilled that Giles' confusion on the way he's still drawn to Ethan as much as he feels the need to leave comes across.

Bounces at your lovely comment.
