Pairing: Giles/Buffy (Shippy)
Rating: WORKSAFE

Here's my third offering of the day. I planned to make a fourth entry but the final video hasn't been rendered yet since my Sony Vegas keeps freezing up. So this may or may not be my last video of the day, depending on whether SV will play nice with me. (That'll teach me to leave things at the last minute.)

EDIT: Oh, bummer. It's past midnight here and the fourth vid is still rendering. Oh well, these three will have to do.

Title: Never Say Never
Pairing: Giles & Buffy (Non-shippy)
Rating: WORKSAFE
Warnings: None
Summary: How does a song about a guy telling to a gal why she should give him a chance - in other words, perfect AU material - result in a srs bznz relationship study about a Watcher and his Slayer, I do not know. *sigh* But the lyrics, oh, the lyrics reminded me of how much they've been through and how much they need each other.

Hi again, here's my second offering for the day. :)

Title: The Odd Couple
Pairing: : Giles & Spike
Rating: : WORKSAFE
Warnings: : None
Summary: : When I saw this trailer/opening for the The Odd Couple’s second season, it instantly reminded me of Giles and Spike. Here’s Sunnydale’s version of Hollywood’s funniest roommates.

Hello, my fellow Giles lovers! Here's my first vid of the day.

Title: Recessional
Pairing: Giles & Buffy (Non-shippy)
Rating: : WORKSAFE
Warnings: : None
Summary: : It ain’t easy being a Watcher. It’s especially hard when your Slayer is one Buffy Summers who has found her way to your heart. A look at some of the little moments when Giles remembers why it’s all worth the pain.

This day was free for all, yes? I'm just gonna put couple of shippy vids under this post. Ye have been warned. :|

Title: (AU) Buffy/Giles - I’d Love To Kill You
Pairing: Buffy/Giles
Song: "I'd Love To Kill You" by Katie Melua
Rating: Not worksafe

Long story short: Buffy and Giles had an affair, Giles left Sunnydale for her own good (naturally), Giles is forced to come back due to one of those pesky apocalypses, and as soon as he returns, Buffy wants to continue where they left off with their affair.
The trouble is that Buffy can’t let go of her bitterness Giles’ departure caused and is basically set out to hurt Giles the same way he hurt her.
The flashbacks show how they broke up in the first place and give some insight on what was it that prompted Giles to leave in the first place.

Title: Ripper/Faith - “You’re One Of My Kind” (Dedicated to rippertish)
Pairing: Ripper/Faith
Song: “I Need You Tonight” by INXS
Rating: Worksafe...ish?

This video is inspired by rippertish’s fic “Car park Fun” http://rippertish.livejournal.com/4603.html and the conversation the two of us had about Faith and Giles. As you can probably tell, this video does NOT strictly follow the fic because, uh, that would make this video NC-17 and I don’t have those kind of clips, dammit. Also, in the fic you’ll find angst which is pretty much absent in this video since this is more about two kindred spirits, Ripper and Faith, having some fun. Who knew they had so much in common? There’s not that much plot in this video, I just mostly went with the flow and followed the song. ;P

My third and final video. Due to the copyright issues with YouTube (where they may or may not appear), I'll put all the videos on Vimeo. It's also possible to download these videos from there.

This is technically a sequel to one of my past videos but I think it can stand on its own. This video is dedicated to getjrjt who pointed out that Buffy and Giles in my ever so depressing Wicked Game vid deserved a happier ending - and she was absolutely right. They got punished for breaking the rules when in fact that's exactly the thing that makes Buffy and Giles so special in the first place.

Title: "I Was Made For You"
Pairing: Giles/Buffy
Rating: FRC
Warnings: None
Summary: Takes place right after the Council has separated Buffy and Giles because of their romantic relationship. They both try to imagine life without the other but find it unbearable. They decide to fight against the Council's ruling the only way they know how.

The second post of the day and the second Buffy/Vamp!Giles video. Due to the copyright issues with YouTube (where they may or may not appear), I'll put all the videos on Vimeo. It's also possible to download these videos from there.

Title: Heart, Body and Soul
Pairing: Buffy/Vamp!Giles
Rating: FRT (Just to be on the safe side)
Warnings: Not the happiest of vids.
Summary: Ever since Giles was turned into a vampire, Buffy's relationship with Riley has been on the rocks. Riley doesn't understand why Buffy can't just kill Giles and move on. Even Buffy herself can't explain why she's unable to resist Giles. What will happen when they reach their breaking point?

Hey guys! This will be the first of my three posts today, and the first one of my two Buffy/Vamp!Giles videos. I'll put the two Vamp!Giles videos under separate posts simply to make it clear that even though both of them have Giles as a vampire, the vids have different storylines and the one doesn't affect the other at all. As you can probably tell by the state that Giles is in, this is an AU video and has nothing to do with canon. Same goes for the other two videos.

The reason for my current vampire-Giles obsession can be traced back to khaoschilde's site Just A Bit Wicked where I drooled over her extraordinary manips. The generous person that she is, she let me use them as I saw fit, so the Giles picture manip in this video is indeed snagged from her site. (The Buffy/Giles pic manip is my own.)

Due to the copyright issues with YouTube (where they may or may not appear), I'll put all the videos on Vimeo. It's also possible to download these videos from there.

Without further ado, here's the first video. I hope you can forgive me the lack of fangs. And Celine Dion. ;)

Title:"Dreaming I'm Alive"
Pairing: Buffy/Vamp!Giles
Rating: NOT WORKSAFE!
Warnings: Very dark and violent. You might find some of the images disturbing. I hope the loud sound at the beginning won't freak you out too much.
Summary: Soon after Buffy and Giles got married, Giles was bitten by a vampire. Buffy knows what needs to be done when she waits at his grave site. What she doesn't know is that disoriented Giles has already risen and is now after her. The only glimmer of hope for them is the bond they once shared. It is yet to be broken, and for Buffy's sake, Giles tries to hang on to that shred of humanity left inside him.
