The Straw That Broke the Camel’s Back

I saw immediately the way my father looked at her, the sixteen year-old usurper that the Council left at our place, under his protection.

It was an odd mixture of affection, pride, respect and reverence that I noted.

Intelligent, fast, strong, and obedient, she

You know, this is something I always wondered about. Young!Giles's reaction to the Slayer, when he had no idea that Slayers could be Buffy-like. Thank you, I like this fill-in-the-blank!

Cheers. Glad that you got something from it! :)

I really like the different time periods you do. Is there longer fic I might stalk?

Well, I've a few longer peices on my livejournal, although all one-shots, and I'm working on a nice long peice which I'm planning on running into the next round of Summer_Of_Giles, and a 70k word fic over at Twisting The Hellmouth, under the pen-name of Ruthless, so you might be able to find something else you like.

Cheers, Ruthless.

See how Giles had to leave that scenario. Would have been hard for him to exist without being stiffled in that environment.
