No archiving, thanks.

A Drunken Giles needs an escort home from the Scooby Christmas gathering. Xander's it.

It's possibly misleading to say that this is the high point of my Christmas morning (it's a rotten Christmas here), but it is a fun little story, and a treat to discover any morning of the year. :)

I love that even almost-falling-down drunk, Giles can get the demon's name right; I love Xander and his filters (really, I just love your Xander voice overall); and, really, all of it. :)

I'm sorry you had a rotten Christmas.

But thank you! This one was hard - I had no idea how hard it would be to write Drunk!Giles.

[mireille719]

Ah, Christmas improved later on. :) But this, at least, brightened the morning.

And I can only imagine--I steer clear of this ficathon because I find writing stories in which a drunk character has to actually *do* stuff to be insanely difficult. But you did it well.

[drsquidlove]

I'd somehow assumed drunk would be easy. Foolish me.

(I had considered, for a while, the idea of just having Giles sleep the whole way through, but that seemed a bit of a cheat.)

"Kallikantzaroi." He couldn't walk straight but he could spit out demon names that none of the rest of them could manage sober.

LOL. It's actually sort of disquieting to see Giles out of control.

In fact, Giles kept on kissing every bit as well as Xander had ever imagined, sexy and dirty and unrestrained.

I loved Xander's inner monologue, and this was just guh.

They came to a sudden, sober halt.

But the abrupt halt was too cruel. Glad Giles changed his mind and Xander got his merry Christmas. :)

[drsquidlove]

lol. I love the flashes we get in the series of not-in-control Giles: drunk or delinquent or angry. The slips in control are so damned sexy.

I'm enjoying writing Xander's voice. He has a self-conscious style that makes it very easy to pace. And he kisses Giles a lot, so, easy.

Yeah, at some point I'd left the story stopped at the abrupt halt, not sure how to fix it, but I couldn't stand it either. And then I remembered that... no one will care what drives Giles back into Xander's pants, as long as he gets there. :-)

Thanks kimberlite. You are always kind.

Whoaaa. Having been lured into the hot and hotter possibilities all the kissing and groping was leading up to, I was ready to thump someone (that would be you) when I thought it wasn't going to happen. But it did, even though I have to imagine all the rest. And I will. Loved your Xander voice, dead on, and the nice turns of phrase all the way through this. Giles thanked him with a nod... half a nod... sort of half a glance, really. Enjoyed it a lot ;-)

[drsquidlove]

lol. Ah, there is such satisfaction as an author, knowing you have drawn out a reader's violent impulses.

But no, I couldn't bear to leave Xander hanging like that either. The poor boy deserves some action.

Thank you!

That was delightful. I love hot Xander and Giles. They're just so tasty. So very tasty.

Thanks for posting. I loved it. Happy Christmas.

[drsquidlove]

Thank you!

Mmm, yes. Tasty.

And you have a fabulous new year's!

[lostgirlslair]

Hee! Oh, that was wonderful! I adored Xander trying to get Giles into the apartment and then Giles groping Xander! And the ransacked house was so funny, but the best part?

A crash, and Giles was racing down the stairs. "Your place it is."

"Huh?"

No answer, just a vice-grip on Xander's arm, and he was being dragged out the door. Back to his place.

Well. All right then. Merry Christmas after all.

Wonderful!!

[drsquidlove]

Heh. I was all tangled up on how to fix the ending, until I realised... it doesn't need an explanation. I'm sure there was something very appalling upstairs in Giles' bed.

Thank you!
