This is a really beautiful look behind the scenes at this relationship, which was over far too soon. You really have Jenny's wry voice down. Well done.
Thanks muchly! Jenny's voice is one I actually have quite a bit of trouble with (surprisingly, as I write her a lot); I often find she starts sounding too much like Buffy, so I have to go back and change things. I'm glad you think I have her down.
"Rupert Giles, librarian," he said. Tall, sexy accent, and... Jenny took in his tweed suit, stripped tie, and glasses, and an incredible dork. "I'm from England, and I, uh, enjoy cross-referencing and, um, not sharing undue amounts of information about myself."
#1 - "I'm from England, and I, uh, enjoy cross-referencing and, um, not sharing undue amounts of information about myself." Hehe, so Giles. I love that you have Giles and Jenny getting off on the wrong foot with her thinking him to be a complete snob.
#2 - "Plugged in" versus "on the same page." You so have Giles nailed and Jenny's voice to a T.
#3 - I love your description here of Jenny feeling flattered, feeling attracted to Giles, but still trying to remain distant and keep things fun.
#4 - Great development of Jenny's conflicted feelings over her relationship with Giles and her sense of duty to her family and the job she was sent to Sunnydale to perform.
#5 - Great ending to this series of ficlets. These were all fantastic.
I love that icon, because the screencap was so dark, but then I turned down the shadows, and it was like, wow! colour!
Giles and Jenny starting off on the wrong foot is part of the fun of the ship. :)
The thing with Jenny is that once find out about her "mission", it can really change the context of the earlier season 2 episodes, which is interesting.
