A/N: I’ve been on a book binge lately, so when I do watch TV it’s usually been Masterchef or something so I don’t really have to pay attention to it. I was trying to think of something to write for SoG and this is what came to mind.

It’s my first posting day at SoG. Thanks as always to [personal profile] il_mio_capitano for all their hard work behind the scenes every year and for giving us such a lovely space to show our love of Giles.

I realised that although I’ve been writing in the Buffy fandom for nearly 20 years, I very rarely write Buffy as the main character in any of my fic mainly because I don’t hear her as clearly in my head as I do with some other characters like Xander or Giles. So this little ditty is an attempt to rectify that a bit.

My final contribution to Summer of Giles 2022 is a post-canon reunion fic between Giles and Buffy. This is not compliant with comics canon. For the purposes of this story, Giles settled in England post-Chosen and Buffy lives somewhere else. It's not really important where. Hope you enjoy!

Summary: Rupert Giles moved around the room restlessly, making minor and entirely unnecessary adjustments as he went. In all the time he’d been living there, he’d never spent so long on small nothings, but he couldn’t seem to stop.

Or, Giles anxiously awaits Buffy's arrival for a holiday.

Today's submission is from by pbjellius 

Fic: Duet
Characters: Giles & Buffy
Rating FRT

These first three years in Sunnydale have been full of challenges and emotional highs and lows. Giles and Buffy do some introspection and reflection about their lives that have intertwined and what their relationship means to each of them. One chapter for each.
 
Of course, it's not as simple as it sounds.
 
Notes:
Context is roughly during the Helpless episode when the two are dealing with the angst (I just can't help it), but arc is across the 1st 3 seasons.
 
Comments/suggestions warmly welcomed & appreciated.

Rating: PG/FRT - rating bump as we start getting into more of the plot
Setting: Season 1 (post-ep for 1.06 "The Pack")
Word Count: 3900
Summary: Many years ago, Rupert Giles made a reckless decision. Now, as Buffy Summer's new Watcher, he must face the consequences of that. But not alone. As far as Buffy's concerned, he's hers.

Notes: Slight change of plans. It turns out this chapter was ready and the fic I planned to post today was not. So I swapped them. 

This chapter makes direct references to the previous chapters. Go here if you'd like to start from the beginning. I posted a teaser for this chapter two years ago, so the opening might seem familiar.

~~~~~

Pausing just outside the library doors, Giles sighed and prepared to meet his doom. He had been able to put Buffy off the night before, mostly out of sheer stubbornness, but he knew she would be demanding answers during their training session later today....

Title: Roadblock
Author: il_mio_capitano
Characters: Giles, Buffy
Rating: FRT
Length: 100
Previous Line: Stay

“Stay,” Buffy commanded, grabbing two stakes and a crossbow. “Stay in the car, Giles, and wait for me.”

“Very well.” Laying across the backseat he hugged his body. “Will you be long?”

“I just have a couple of demons to take care of and then, I promise, I will get you to the hospital.”

“I’m terribly sorry I’m bleeding all over your mother’s car.”

“It’s not…Giles…Mom died years ago. We’re in England now. Stay awake for me.”

“Really hurts.”

Buffy glared angrily at the makeshift roadblock of vampires ahead of her. They were already gloating and that was their mistake.

Title: Consequences and Truth ( 3/3)
Author: pbjellius
Characters: Giles & Buffy

Summary:
Giles and Buffy have time to really hash it out after he's drugged her and saved her on her 18th birthday.
Oooh. A triangle, but where's the love?
 
Notes:
The S3 episode for her 18th birthday had plenty of emotional tight spots as the relationship between Giles & Buffy gets stretched to breaking. Worth more than an implied apology and a wet washcloth. This is one version of how the real conversation might have gone.

Summary: A collection of prompt-based vignettes covering thirty-something years in the life of Rupert Giles, pre- and post-canon. Buffy/Giles endgame, with particular emphasis on their friendship through the years. Most of Giles's significant friendships/romances have at least one chapter.

TITLE: “What They Shouldn’t Have To”


AUTHOR: catch_yerself_on

RATING: FRT, references to violence and trauma

PAIRING: None, Giles & Willow friendship, background Buffy & Giles friendship

SUMMARY: Giles has to accept that Willow understands him more than he’d like. He needs her help with his injury if he’s going to stop Glory’s apocalypse. And help with something else that Buffy won’t bloody well talk about.

My attempt to answer some questions - how did Giles feel about Buffy’s threat to kill him and anyone who might try to stop her from letting the whole universe die (“including Dawn”) if it meant she had to sacrifice Dawn? (The full impact of that won’t hit him this early, future installment foreshadowing here). How did Willow transition to the leader of the Slayerettes? Most of all, how the hell did Giles dive “once more unto the breach” a couple of hours after a spear wound, a vehicle flip, hours of bleeding out, and emergency surgery in a filthy gas station performed by an intern who was apparently subletting from Glory?

TIMELINE: Season 5

AUTHOR'S NOTES: My second published fic! Yeah, it's very talk-y again. I’m so sorry I didn’t respond to comments a...year ago. I got shy and kept putting it off. I admire you all so much, both for writing the way you do, and for doing the courteous thing by getting back to people.

Dialogue you recognize is taken from season 5, episode 22, “The Gift” written by Joss Whedon. A clause in italics inside parentheses means someone’s thoughts.

Rating: Buffy and Giles friendship

Pairing: FRT

Summary: After her resurrection Buffy finds meaning and purpose in her life again. 

Timeline: Starts sometime between “Life Serial” and “Tabula Rasa”

A/N: At the end of 2020 I made a resolution for 2021 to get more involved with animal rescue. I’ve had 5 foster puppies in that time. It hasn’t always been easy, but it has always been rewarding. Anyway, this story was inspired by my passion for animal rescue.
