Ok, so we ended up with another tie. This time it was between The Long Way Home by Sahiya and Ripper's Redemption by Gibberish. Since I wasn't quite on the ball last week, we didn't have time to try to break the tie, so instead of taking recs for next week's fic, we will read one this week and the other the next.
This week's fic is
The Long Way Home by Sahiya. Summary: Buffy and Giles are both idiots. Faith nudges them in the right direction. Setting: Post Series, comics included. This was written in 2008, so the bad thing that happened to Giles hasn't happened yet. Please note that you don't need to have read the comics to understand what is going on in the story. The author does a good job paraphrasing. :)
Please feel free to leave your comments, thoughts, reviews in the comments below. Also, the chats have been fantastic! If you find yourself at loose ends and haven't jumped on the chats during the weekend chat times, please feel free to do so. Everyone has been extremely insightful, respectful, fun, and a tad crazy at times. We've actually written two very cracky group ficlets on the chat by being silly and going with the flow. Good times!
