Oh dear. Have a ficlet

We just had a 60-second power cut. It may be a fluke and meaningless, but in the current climate [haha] it makes me nervous. Plus I was just on the point of draining some pasta, which I did *not* want to try in the dark...

Anyway, some very fine and discerning people have declared that this is Giles week. And I do just happen to have a Giles ( Read more... )

Hee! Plus ça change, eh? What a sweet gesture (which tangentially reminds me of SMG changing her surname as a present to Prinze Jr...) May the fluff-admin fusion long continue!

(And of course Mike plays rugby; you can take the Watcher's son out of public school... That is if you have done, of course.)

Well, they couldn't be SSO's forever, could they? Enough is enough.

(Goodness knows where Mike goes to school, but not public school if I can help it. I think it's tales of the epic treks my cousin's parents used to have to do to get him to rugby matches that influenced this. And they don't live in the middle of nowhere in a castle). Faith's genes should make contact sports quite interesting though...

If this is the last ever fic chronologically speaking, it's good to know nobody died. :)

A very nice gesture, and Watchers does sound way better than Slayer Support Officers, even if Watchers did become inappropriate for a little while.

*g* This verse is (mainly) kind to its characters. The Powerpoint is protective.

I think it's a sign they're maturing into the verse, for sure.

Watchers once more! What a fitting tribute to Giles' role in the old and new Councils.

Piano exams and rugby practice and translations - sounds like Giles' days are going to be as rich and full as ever.

Well, you've probably OD'd on the Rulesverse this week, but I'm glad you enjoyed it to the last! There will be more, of course...

Awww. Yay, Watchers. There really is something to be said for nostalgia and tradition. (Also, I'm amused that you posted this just after the story that describes how they became SSO's in the first place.)

Circular thinking, I'm afraid! Lots of people have commented on SSOs, and I knew they wouldn't be that permanently, so I wrote this to find out when they changed back. But it'll stay SSOs for most if not all the Rulesverse - I don't think I'm going to be writing 'Rosy the Watcher' stories!

Awwww - and can I just say, I'm so glad this is not the last appearance, only the final one? Okay, that didn't come out right... You know what I mean. Rulesverse 4evah!

*g* I can't stop now - so much fic to write! (I can't find the right way to put it either; last but not final, last in time. We know what we mean!)
