Giles/Wesley: one possible introduction
kambee asked me for a list of stories for somebody new to Giles/Wesley. This isn't a pairing I know that well, so it was fun to spend time reading through the great selection of stories out there. Here are a few that grabbed my attention. I tried to cover a variety, from the lighter side to the harder.
First, watcherlove is the community gathering most of the Giles/Wesley activity on LJ. There are many fine stories on the masterlist for their most recent ficathon. Start with mireille719's Grief, Written on Skin from that list.
glimmergirl: High Tea, FRT
Post-Not Fade Away, Wesley is back in England with the Council. Giles spends tea-time with him.
kivrin and headrush100: Boundaries, FRAO, h/c
After Wesley's encounter with Faith in LA, he comes to Giles for help.
eloise-bright: Crossing the Boundary, FRT
Lighten things up with drunk Giles and Wes, playing cricket in the street.
speakingsilence: The Definition of a Watcher, FRAO
Wesley seeks out Giles for answers about the attack on Wolfram and Hart, but receives something he needs far more. For one night. An exploration of unrealizable possibility, for Giles.
psychoadept and versaphile: Illusion of Life, FRAO
Giles is having a cyborg problem. He goes to Wesley for help, but Wesley is a bit of an alcoholic mess. Then Giles does something surprising. A longer story, in 25 parts.
For a change of pace, try bethynycfics's School!Verse. It's a sweet all-human AU in which Rupert and Wesley are at school together.
