Two Giles Drabbles

I'm feeling good this morning so there are two drabbles. I'm possibly being a bit too competitive.

Title: Sacrifice
Author: il-mio-capitano
Length: 100
Rating: FRT
Characters: Giles, Xander

"If we'd been having sex, none of this would have happened."

Though his hands were tied uncomfortably behind him, Giles twisted to look incredulously at his similarly bound friend."Well not together, obviously," Xander continued. "I just mean if either of us had any kind of social life, we wouldn't be in this mess."

Giles looked to where the high priest was preparing his sacrificial alter and conceded the point.

"I suppose there are better ways to spend a Saturday night. Did Buffy give you any kind of timeframe for when she'd be joining us?"

"I thought you called her?"

Title: New life
Author: il-mio-capitano
Length: 100
Rating: FRT
Characters: Giles, Travers, A bit of Faith


He booked the next flight out to Sunnydale but Travers intercepted him.

"A monstrous resurrection. It is your duty, Rupert, to take whatever is out there and put it back in the bloody ground!"

"Not if it is really Buffy."

Travers oozed, "Then I'm sure Faith will eagerly take the opportunity to set matters right."

Giles could only smile. He'd anticipated that move already and phoned the jail. 'Yeah, Mr Stuffy Butt rang, but we're five by five here, G.'

"Faith isn't terribly interested in Council offers." He savoured his advantage. "What's the matter, Quentin? I thought you called her?"

The second one is delightful. Love that Giles (and Faith) are a step ahead of Travers. :)

Yay for ambition!

"I thought you called her?"

HAH! That sounds about right for these two.

The second one has a scenario I'd never imagined - or seen anyone write, but damn Travers is a creep here. You do not mince words *pun intended* where he's concerned. But also incredibly stupid - how could he even imagine Faith would want anything to do with the council at that point?

These are both great I love how you ended both of the with the same line.

These are both awesome although I like the first one a bit better. I like how you took the sex line and turned it into a completely non sexy situation.

Also kudos for taking the two separate threads of ending lines and joining them back together. ;-)

Yes! Just when I had feared that the mystical forces surrounding the line of the drabbles had been irrevocably destabilized, you stepped into the breach like a goddess to save the day! Good on ya.
