Author: PBJellius
Rating: G-ish
Characters: Giles, Robson, and other co-workers
Timeframe: Pre-canon (maybe ~10 years before)
Length: ~6000 words
Another installment from the wayback machine of Giles' life coming back into watcher-dom. He heads downtown to Council Headquarters to get help with his mystery stones and prior night's vampires.
Roughly a day in life at the Council. Hopefully part 2 will come sooner than this one did but no promises.
Comments always greatly admired and worshiped.
Many Thanks to the mods for all their work and everyone else for a fun month.

I wasn’t expecting to write a second thing for this year’s SoG, but a certain Watcher was grumbling in my ear, so who am I to say him nay! Thanks again toil_mio_capitano for organising SoG again this year. Looking forward to what everyone else has created.

It’s my first posting day at SoG. Thanks as always toil_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.

will_conqueror1Unfortunately I didn't have much time to prepare, between my broken laptop and travelling for work, but in 11 years I haven't missed a SoG, so I wanted to make sure I did something. Hopefully next year I'll be able to do more. But I have two drabbles, newly posted, I'll link to them below.

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!

A/N: Written for Summer of Giles 2022
Season 1
It is getting late.
He brews his fifth cup of tea
while waiting for her.
Season 2
Blind rage and extreme
heat is all he feels until
she grounds him again.
Season 3
Betrayal. The guilt
eats at him. Kneeling before
her, he tends her wounds.
Season 4
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???”
