It is getting late.

He brews his fifth cup of tea

while waiting for her.

Blind rage and extreme

heat is all he feels until

Shared panic and pain.

Their eyes meet. Recognition.

Now Ethan will pay!

Season 5

He shoves the blond vamp

against the wall, his anger

unleashed. Meet Ripper!

Season 6

With her gone, he’s lost.

But now she stands before him

Alive. And he’s found.

Season 7

Gazing out over

the crater, he can’t help but

wonder, “Christ! Cleveland???”

Title: New Specs
Author: littleotter73
Character: Giles
Prompt: First Pair of Glasses
Word Count: 100

As soon as he arrived at school, Rupert pocketed his new glasses. Already a target for being smaller than the other boys and able to read and perform maths many levels above his peers, he didn’t need to give the neanderthals another reason to seek him out and torment him further.

Unable to see the exam question on the board, he turned to stare out the window.

“Giles!” Mr Parsons snapped irritably, drawing attention from the boy's antagonists in the class.

Rupert sheepishly pulled out his specs. Lunchtime would prove interesting. At least he could outrun the lot of them.

New Prompt: Headache

Title: The Making of a Watcher
Author: littleotter73
Word Count: 100
Rating: FRC
Character: Giles

It was time to grow up, his father had said, telling him that vampires and all sorts of demons threatened humanity's existence. All the things he'd been told that simply did not exist, that were figments of his imagination, that had been created to frighten or fear or explain unknown happenings or sightings, suddenly were all true.

And now he was expected to become a Watcher and fight them.

His heart pounded as the tapping at his window grew louder.

He was ten now. Time to face his fears.

"H-happy birthday, Ru-Rupert," he stuttered, reaching blindly for his cricket bat.

I thought I would go ahead and fill an extra space on the calendar. This one is called Semper Vigilans which translates to "always watching". I hope you enjoy.

Title: All of Him
Author:

littleotter73
Pairing/Characters: Giles/Buffy, Willow, Xander, Original Characters
Rating: FRM
Summary: When an accident causes Giles to lose his memories, he only knows Buffy as the depressed Slayer he left back in Sunnydale after her resurrection six years ago, not as his wife and the mother of his son. Takes place five years after "Crossing Lines" and three years after "In the Moment."
Disclaimer: Just playing in Joss' sandbox.
A/N: Written for Summer of Giles 2017
A/N 2: Many thanks to

il_mio_capitano for the herculean beta effort! Special thanks to

quaggy , who helped flesh out a rampant plot bunny into a story late one evening over chat, and also to foreverbooks for the encouragement and sanity checks.
A/N 3: It is not necessary to read Crossing Lines and In the Moment before hand, but it is recommended as there are references to both in the story.

All of Him: The beeping was incessant and not at all conducive to reducing the massive headache he was enduring. Or the throbbing in his right wrist for that matter. In fact, from what he could tell, most of him was quite sore.

Title: Crossing Lines

Author: littleotter73

Rating: FRM

Paring: Giles/Buffy
Word Count: 3943

Summary: When a misunderstanding has Buffy and Giles not seeing eye to eye, harsh words are said, challenges are thrown down, and lines are crossed. But maybe that’s not a bad thing.

Setting: December 2003, Post Chosen, no comics, no AtS past BtVs canon.

Beta: Many thanks to foreverbooks.

A/N: Written for Summer of Giles 2017.

A/N 2: This story and the one I posted before it In the Moment are prequels to a larger story I will be posting next week titled All of Him. The idea was that I was going to post this story as a bonus on the free for all day and post the larger fic today, but I was not able to get it done in time, hence the reason they are chronologically posted out of order.

Setting: March 7, 2005 - almost two years after the events “Chosen.” No comics, no AtS past BtVS canon.
Word Count: 2052
Disclaimer: Just playing in Joss’ sandbox.
A/N: Written for Summer of Giles 2017. Just a short fic today, but a longer story will be posted on my my next day. Thanks to il_mio_capitano, quaggy, and foreverbooks for their support these last few months.

Update: Sorry for the potential eyestrain, I fixed the small font size. And here is the link if you prefer to read on AO3, In the Moment.
