Summary:
Disclaimer: All characters belong to their rightful owners, not the author.


He's never disrespected books but has to fight to keep from throwing the notebook against the furthest wall of his home as his slams shut its covers that're already falling apart. He glowers at the man's name, wishing that he could resurrect him just so he could kill him again. Too many Watchers take glory from their Slayer's wins, but the only reason why this one regretted his Slayer's death was because there would be no more glory for him. Rupert shakes his head, swearing he'll never be like that and goes to join his young wife in their bed.

The End

Aww! Giles is a prince among men and a Watcher above all others! I can see him needing to spoon up against Buffy after reading something like that, though, needing the reassurance of her presence in his life and mentally reaffirming his commitment to her.

Thank you! I'm glad that came through. I'd wanted to add more to it to make it clear but ran out of word space. Good to know it came across, any way!

[littleotter73]

It did. I finished the thought in my head, so it worked well. :)

One hundred words truly is a challenge.

Yes, it is. I had, at times in the past, actually considered quitting my drabble comms, stayed on two of them mostly due to feeling the need to be loyal, knowing the mod of one and having been a regular writer on the second since its start, but then I found Open-on-Sunday and this one got started. I haven't looked back since. :-)

I'm glad you're here. :) And I think we all push each other on, which is a good thing.

Thank you, and yes, it is. That's the thing I love most about LJ -- the community feeling, the constant support and encouragement, the lovely reviews without hardly a flame in sight!

But it's Anya, right?

:D

Nice take on the prompt, a really really good idea! Well done.

Thank you!

And I did kind of leave her open to the imagination of my readers.
