Sunday Angstapalooza
Greetings all. This week's rec is another by koala1356.
It's ten years in the future and Buffy and Giles are married and have a baby daughter. But all is not sunshine and lollypops. Giles suffers from a long ago aquired wound and their lives are not the happiest they could be, but they love each other. And then, The Council decides to intervene in the most terrible and tragic ways.
It's FRAO and Buffy/Giles but not in a happy way. It's called Creed and you can find it here: http://www.dwordslist.net/creed01.html
Warnings for character death and gut yourself crying levels of angst. And, not to spoil but as a warning, it also casts Wesley in a very bad guy role. This fic was written back in the day so Wesley was not as established at the time.
The level of complication and hardship Koala brings to Giles's life in this fic is so detailed that in the hands of any other writer, I think it would be too much for me to take. But... she's just so damn good.
