Hey all
Okay - today I decided to look at "choice" ... or in Giles' case a lack of choice. There's one particular fic that immediately leapt into my head:
Destinies - Giles by Karen Jephson. It's rated FRC and there's no pairing. The summary reads: A boy finds out he has a different future to the one he thought.
This is one of those fics that, when you see the authors name, you know you're in for a good read...but it still manages to surprise you. Karen Jephson is a past master at capturing the emotions - and she totally nails it in this one.
Read and enjoy.
