3 Buffy/Giles Relationship Stories
Hey all! I'm sorry this is so late, but I've been out celebrating my anniversary. And in that spirit, I'm going with a marriage theme with my stories today.
My first offering is actually the beginning of a very long series by Froxyn. There are about 26 parts to this series, so don't plan on reading it all in one go. (And to make it longer, each part has chapters. Like the last one that she just posted has 5 chapters.) So this is going to keep you reading for a very long time. But, it's a good series. Now, here are the reasons that I like it so much. It's AU and in this reality, Buffy marries Giles, Willow marries Oz, Xander marries Anya, and eventually, even Ethan shows up and he marries his boyfriend. They all have kids (This last part takes us through the birth of Buffy and Giles's fifth child.) and everyone helps Giles, who becomes head of the Council. This is the happy ending that I would have wanted to see. They are all friends and everyone supports each other and it is so nice to see it. Now, don't think everything is all sunny and sweet, because it's not. These stories cover Angel kidnapping Buffy and Rupert's son, relationship ups and downs and several demon incursions. But, unlike in the series, when everything goes crazy here, the group bands together and gets each other through it. I keep asking myself why the show couldn't have gone this way. I love to see everyone actually happy and I'm a sucker for a good ending. I'm going to give you two links to this. The first one is to the first chapter of the first part, Life on a Hellmouth - Part 1, which starts us in Sunnydale, before Buffy and Giles get together. I'm also going to take you to Froxyn's Story list page, so you can see all the stories in the Giles Family Series.
The next one doesn't take us all the way to marriage, but I do like it. In this one, Buffy dies while out on patrol with Giles and when she leaves her body, she sees Jenny. The two talk for a minute and Buffy hears a desperate Giles begging her not to leave him. She realises he loves her and she loves him and then she comes back to her body, she knows she will spend forever with him. It's well written and a nice way to get them together. It's called Afterlife by Gabrriele Schultz.
And my last choice for today is a cute little scene between Buffy and Giles. They have been married for eight months, but Buffy startles him by climbing in his lap and telling him "Happy Anniversary." She tells him something important happened six years earlier and now he has to guess. But in the end she has an interesting gift for him that changes his whole life. It's well written and totally adorable and I love the ending. It's called The Anniversary Gift by Gileswench.
Have a great weekend and happy reading!
