Bwaa-haa-haa!

Nice little bit of observation here. perfect little post-mortem for that day!

And how much do I love gile's tree? Perfect!

Hee! Thanks! (I figured that Giles was the kind of guy, if he was going to put up a tree, would make it as avante-garde as he could)

Ah Giles, never - ever - closely examine things like this - you won't like the results. But we sure do "winks".

[powerofthebook]

Hee! (There was a reason he took off his glasses so much - didn't have to look at things too closely!)

Giles: "Tell no one."

I can't remember the episode when he said that to Buffy, but when I read your comment the scene replayed in my head.

Circa Something Blue fics are particular favorites of mine. You captured the characters' voices and states of mind during that time quite well. I know I'll want to read this one again.

Thank you! I can't remember which episode, either, but I love his capacity for deadpan humor.

Hee! Buffy torturing Spike with Christmas music was inspired. And of course Giles and Willow going, ... nah.

[powerofthebook]

Thanks! Got the idea after doing holiday retail and finding I wanted to throttle every pop artist who did a new recording of "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm."

That was wonderfully evil - torture by Burl Ives! And Giles and Willow recognising and tacitly agreeing to deny what was clearly there. Wonderful stuff!

[powerofthebook]

Thanks! (Buffy does have her dark side...)

[rahirah]

Hee! Just kiss already, guys. >:)
