What's your one true pairing/3/ship of choice/favorite pairing/tripling/orgy/people you sometimes like to see have sex (OTP3SOCFPTOPYSLTSHS)? I don't have just one, but one of my favorites is Willow/Giles, and no one's touched it yet, so!
What's something you love about it? The age difference/teacherkink. Because I am a Great Big Perv.
What's a reason you think these characters are good together? They mirror each other; Giles fell into dark magic when he was Willow's age and sees both his innocence and his fall in Willow; he can't save her and he won't teach her and then they finally sit together in England sadder, wiser, together still.
What would you say about it if you wanted to try to get someone interested in it? I'd mostly just point to the shippy moments in canon and the "No wonder I used to have such a big crush on him" and flail about going "canon! See, it's canon!"
Is there any meta/manifesto/discussions you might link to for someone just getting into the pairing? The ship_manfifesto essay is here.
What's a scene in canon that occurs ( ... )

Heck, you might have just turned me into a W/G 'shipper with that description!

justhuman is that particular unknown LJ tag. Given all that html, I'm pretty pleased I only frelled up one tag!

Willow/Giles

Awesome! I knew some people shipped W/G, but I've never seen any fic about it or seen anyone talk about it, so your answers and links are most treasured--especially since the way you talk, it suddenly makes so much sense!

The age difference/teacherkink

Age difference is a kink I have too--which is one of the reasons I love B/A. And teacher!kink--oh yeah.

They mirror each other; Giles fell into dark magic when he was Willow's age and sees both his innocence and his fall in Willow; he can't save her and he won't teach her and then they finally sit together in England sadder, wiser, together still.

See, this is what I meant. I never thought about it that way and now I'm so convinced. (and still distractedly thinking about the teacher!kink. mmm mm good.)

+"She was truly the best of all of us" - "Doppelgangland"
+"See Giles? Scythe does matter!" - somewhere in the end of S7 arc. *g*What's surprising me is how little I've even though about Willow/Giles friendship. Even if you don't ship them, there's a LOT of ( ... )
