Today I'm reccing something I had wanted to recommend in an earlier recs post--one of my first. This fic wasn't available at the time, but now here it is for your enjoyment.

As a former high school teacher , I sometimes have to squint really hard at the first three seasons of BtVS and remind myself, "this is TV-land, not the real world." In ( Read more... )

Today, I am reccing two (unconnected) Giles/Xander stories by cordelianne. Both are quite short, but absolutely delightful.

Surprises (FRC) is one of my favorite shorter G/X stories. Xander turns up on Giles' doorstep post-Chosen, eats his food, watches his TV, talks on his phone, and worries Giles greatly. It's funny, it's sweet, and it is believable.

For once, I'm not reccing fic from a particular ficathon--instead, I'm recommending a particular series of stories by one of my favorite authors.

The Second Glances series by lostgirlslair (link goes to the memories page that lists all the stories; stories are rated from FRM to FRAO) is a Giles/Wesley series from one of the pairing's most dedicated writers. ( ( Read more... )

I'm reccing three recent Giles (slash) threesome stories today--these were all posted earlier this month, but I'm figuring there were people who hadn't seen them.

Invitation to Change, by speakingsilence (FRT) is a Giles/Wesley story that takes one of the established, almost cliched, situations of the pairing and makes it obvious why it's such a popular situation--because in the hands of a talented writer, it rings absolutely true and perfect. speakingsilence takes this scenario--Giles and Wesley find each other at the end of S3, when ( Read more... )

I'm again visiting one of the maleslashminis rounds for Giles fic, this one the Xander round from October 2006.

There are two stories from this round I want to recommend, both with the sweetness that's one of the reasons I love this pairing so much.

soft_princess's Perspective Is Everything (FRT) is a relatively light ficlet; what I like about it is the slow development ( Read more... )

The Giles round over at maleslashminis produced a lot of Giles fic, with a variety of pairings. The day the masterlist went up last autumn, I did a (locked) recs post in my own LJ, listing off the stories that left me "flaily and incoherent."

I thought I'd duplicate those recs here publicly today, with perhaps a bit more detail than I originally provided.

This week, I'm finishing my recs fic from the 2006 Giles/Xander songficathon with three more stories from the ficathon that I particularly enjoyed.

This week is the first of two posts I have planned to recommend fic from the Giles/Xander songficathon from early 2006. The idea of the ficathon was that authors were assigned a song, and they wrote fic inspired by it; it could range from traditional "songfic," to just a story with the same general tone or theme, to a story vaguely inspired by one ( Read more... )

This week's recs come from the Third Annual Watcher Love Ficathon, from October 2006. This was a small ficathon, but there were several absolutely lovely Giles/Wesley stories produced.
