Rating: PG/FRT
Characters/Ship: Giles/Jenny
Length: 780 words
Summary: Rupert Giles perched awkwardly on the edge of the car, his feet still firmly on the ground as he silently asked himself for the tenth time just what had possessed him to go through with this ridiculous plan. He didn’t really need to ask himself why he had gone through with it, as the answer was perfectly plain and currently beside him.

melackaMy 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!

“You should probably go.”
Giles swirled his drink thoughtfully, not looking up.
“Do you want me to go?” he asked quietly.
“It’s not really about what I want,” Jenny sighed, pouring herself another drink.
Giles raised an eyebrow in question, and she laughed softly.
“It is a school night, Rupert,” she murmured teasingly, leaning close. “Whatever would Principal Snyder say if he saw us?”
“I’d rather not think of him, if it’s all the same to you,” he replied, bringing his hand to cup her cheek. “Especially if I have to leave soon.”
She smiled and removed his glasses.
“Stay.”

FIC: Live a Little (Giles/Jenny) R/FRM
Jul. 29th, 2020 01:48 pmmelackaMy third contribution to Summer of Giles, in which Giles wakes up after spending the night with Jenny for the first time. I've rated this one M on AO3, but it's only out of an abundance of caution. It's suggestive rather than explicit, but probably a little higher than a T rating, if you know what I mean.
