Daww! This was so sweet.

I love the interaction between Willow and Giles and I think you captured one of the best parts of their friendship.

Thank you! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed their interaction. I truly believe that Willow would have been there for Giles as the one he could talk to as an equal.

Awww, this was sweet, with just enough Ripper to give it an edge. Love that she brought him the photograph. Lovely work. Thanks for writing!

Giles would definitely still be very much in touch with his inner Ripper at that point, which was fun to tap into. I'm so glad that you enjoyed it.

This is really a lovely piece. A wonderful evocation of their friendship. Great work!

Thank you! Once I picked this prompt (which was actually one I offered), the story practically wrote itself. Actually, it wrote itself twice. This is the better version; more angst.

Yay! Well, sorta "yay" cuz I can't "yay" entirely for no erotic content! Hee~! This was really nicely done - great control over so many aspects of it - dialogue, character and the sweet story you were telling. This just knocked me out, it was so perfect - Giles hmm'd a sound of curiosity.

Well, sorta "yay" cuz I can't "yay" entirely for no erotic content! LOL. It's funny, because I really wanted to write a smutty story. I haven't written W/G smut in ages. But when I sat down to write this there was no smut. The first draft was fluffier and was immediately replaced with this one. I was tempted to do a third version that had smut, or at least kissage, but the characters refused to go beyond friendship. *sigh* Just means my summer_of_giles story will have to be very smutty to make up for it.
