Title: The Eyes Have It
Author: Quaggy
Word Count: 100
Prompt: "Beware the green-eyed monster."
Notes: I think you can guess what episode this is from.



Grief is a funny thing. It makes you deadly. It makes you dumb. Not a great combination.

And as she stared down at monster that killed Giles, she realized just how stupid she’d been, because she’d know those green eyes anywhere. And who else would start reassuring her that he was alright seconds after receiving a supposed death blow by her own hands? Because even if she couldn’t speak “monster,” she knew that’s what he was telling her.

But it seemed that the more she fussed over him, the calmer he became. Her green-eyed monster was going to be okay.

I love, love, LOVE this drabble. It's that missing scene between Buffy stabbing him and Ethan getting hauled away and Giles being dressed in his tacky clothing that you *know* just happened.

Perfect!

Yes, I have a feeling that Buffy was extra fussy with Giles for a good long while after having him in monster-mode which probably made both Giles and Buffy feel better.

Awesome! The bonus points are truly yours.

Thank you! It was one of my first ideas when I saw that prompt and I really couldn't resit! ;-)
