FIC: I Look To You To See The Truth (Giles/Jenny, Giles & Buffy - PG/FRT) - Chapter 1
Jul. 31st, 2025 11:07 pmcatchyerselfon posting in summer_of_gilesTitle: I Look To You To See The Truth
Author: catch_yerself_on (geminis-cold-takes on tumblr)
Pairing: Giles/Jenny, Giles & Buffy, Buffy/Angel (briefly), Willow & Xander, Giles & Buffy & Willow & Xander
Setting: Season 1 of “Buffy The Vampire Slayer”, 1x12 “Prophecy Girl”
Word count: 1,313 words
Rating: PG/FRT, nothing more adult than you’d see or hear in season 1!
Summary: The Spring Fling (in June) dance at the Bronze. Jenny makes a move on Rupert. The Slayerettes gain a new member. Willow’s over her suspicion and totally shipping Giles with Jenny. Giles frets over what the Hell happened to Buffy and he wants answers without prying too much. Xander has a breakthrough: a semi-annual moment of self-reflection. Angel bows out at the right time.
Future Chapters: Buffy’s temporary burst of strength from the Master killing her and Xander reviving her is fading fast. It scares her, but not as much as she fears being vulnerable to either life-changing event ever again.
Also, the teens and their Grown-Up Friends try to hang out before Buffy leaves for the summer, without getting interrupted by demons or near-death experiences. Forget it, Willow, it's Sunnydale.
This summary reflects the first chapters I’m posting - 1 & 2. I'm editing chapter 3 (Giles & Buffy-focussed) and I’m working on chapters 4 & 5, which take us outside of Sunnydale High. Those will be updated on AO3 and my Tumblr - yes, I'm embarrassed I didn't finish the entire thing in time.

Characters: Buffy Summers, Rupert Giles, Willow Rosenberg, Xander Harris, Anya Jenkins
Setting: AU Season 05
Rating: FRM/Mature
Pairing: Buffy/Giles
Word Count: 9,567
Summary: No one remembers who Buffy is... but the fun of freedom of anonymity quickly wears off.
She seeks out the help of the guy she knows best who can, and Giles manages to surprise her with some other perks of anonymity. Apparently she doesn't know him as well as she thinks after all... but she's going to.
Notes: An eleventh-hour addition to Summer of Giles (unintentional and literal... it's 11pm where I am as I add this to Ao3 haha), this fic popped into my mind this morning and I spent the day writing it. As such, any missed grammar mistakes etc within are entirely my own.

Fic: Sins of the Father
Jul. 29th, 2025 12:09 pmthe_crazy_knight posting in summer_of_giles
Author:
Characters: Rupert Giles, Buffy Summers, Willow Rosenberg, Tara Maclay, Xander Harris, Anya Jenkins, Spike, Dawn Summers, Joyce Summers, Grace Giles (OC)
Setting: Season 5 (AU)
Rating: NC-17/Explicit
Pairing: Buffy/Giles
Word Count: 16 128 (4/4)
Summary: Giles is offered a choice: to sacrifice what's necessary and save Buffy, or allow destiny to take its course. Whistler offers Giles a glimpse into the future; one where Buffy lives, but only if he's willing to make sacrifices others can't. Their attack against Glory and to save Dawn is foolproof, until it isn't. At the eleventh hour, Giles makes the decision no-one else wants to. Can he live with the consequences of his actions?
