Summer of Giles

Dracofidus is away from the internets today and not able to post in person, so she sent me her fic to post for her.  Don't worry though, she'll be back soon and will be able to respond to feedback when she returns!  - Kate (katekat1010)

Title: Mithridate
Author: dracofidus
Pairing: Buffy/Giles
Rating: FRT
Disclaimer: Buffy the Vampire Slayer belongs to Joss Whedon. I just borrow his characters now and again.
Summary: Set after Through Good and Bad and Apocalypse. Ethan escapes from the Watchers Council and comes after Giles once more, but this time his tactics are different. "Am I Mithridates' blood or meat?" becomes a riddle that will push the Scoobies to their limits and force Giles to overcome his demons. Can they save the day when everything but their minds is against them or will Ethan come out of his game victorious after all?
Notes: Thanks to littleotter73 for being my eternally patient beta and for sticking with me through the horrors of my first draft and thanks to gilescandy for being insanely encouraging throughout.
