Fun! Well OK I'm a bad person but if Buffy was looking for a self-destructive relationship in S6 then no wonder Giles ran off. She would have killed him, mind.

Look forward to any more bunnies that you care to share.

Thank you. I'm looking forward to posting more! :3

I remember my friend telling me Giles left before I actually watched that and was like "Okay, Buffy, what did you do now?!"
Apparently, she had meaningless sex with him.

I guess I'm a meanie for screwing with their relationship and making it more angsty, but eh, that's what Joss did.

This one touched me. I usually stay clear of B/G because, after the horrible way she treated him, I can bring myself to let her have him. But I can very much see her using him like this, and him being powerless to deny her. It's heartbreaking and, in my view, absolutely believable.

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you!

Buffy/Giles is my OTP, but I've been having a hard time getting in the overall feel and brokenness of it all. For you to say that I've got it down simply makes my day.

Thank YOU for reviewing.

Don't worry, my two best writer friends are B/G shippers. They keep trying to convert me, but Buffy still makes me Grr. Angst is good. I call myself a Giles/Willow writer, but I never make it easy for them. In fact, they never end up getting each other. I can't even be called a real shipper. But I'll still keep getting them into trouble together.

Hurray for the dark side. Makes life interesting.

Amen to that.

Just yesterday, I actually had an entire entry devoted to my ranting of how I can't get the perfect amount of fluff and angst. Thirty minutes later, I had a plot on my hands. Of course, they don't get together in the end. My fics always end with the main unhappy and single, too.

I'll be honest and say that I've dabbled in Giles/Willow, but it's always, ALWAYS unrequited.

They'd just be too perfect together, and my reputation for angst would go down the drain...
