Author: il-mio-capitano
Length: 100
Rating: FRT
Characters: Giles, Willy the bartender


"Worst night ever. Jeez." Willy waved his arms at the sight of more demons turn straight out of his bar, and stomped across to his only customer. "You need to go home, Watcher. You're bad for business."

Giles waved his empty shot glass. "I'm doing my best."

"Yeah, I can retire soon." Willy refilled it. "Last one and then I'm calling the Slayer."

"She wouldn't come. Not after what I did. I've taught her all she needs to know, you see."

"Funny. My clientele think otherwise. They know who you are and what you mean to her."

"But she doesn't."

Poor Giles!

It's classic Poor Giles isn't it? PG is practically a category of fic in its own right.

I've added author tags by the way.

Ouch! That really stung. Nicely done!

[il_mio_capitano]

Thank you. I'm pleased I gave good sting. ;)

Cute

Thank you!

Okay, those last two lines. Brilliant.

Thank you. I suspect Giles was far more worried about the First's apocalypse than Buffy telling him to take a flying f**k, but that's not so much fun to write.

What a surprise to see Willy featuring in this!  It was interesting to see these two interact.

Thank you. I honestly couldn't decide on Giles' worst night so shifted it to Willy.

No sympathy for you, Giles! "Your sins are terrible, and it is just that you suffer."... for a little while anyway.... And she will too come.

[il_mio_capitano]

She probably would. But there would be glaring.

And snarky comments muttered almost but not quite under everyone's breath.

"But she doesn't."

Waaa! Poor Giles.
