Title: Love Potion
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Characters/Pairing: Rupert Giles, Willow Rosenberg
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Summary: Giles is worried Willow's made a love potion.
A/N: written for giles_shorts

Dubiously, Giles asked, "What exactly is in this potion?"

"It’s just a little something I wanted to try.” Willow plucked the oddly shaped bottle out of Giles’ hand and slid it back inside of her bag.

A look of horror crossed his face as he interrupted. “It’s not a love potion, is it?”

Willow’s red hair bounced around her shoulders as she shook her head. “How could you even...?

Giles felt foolish. He should’ve known better. Without a word he patted her on the shoulder and left the room.

She watched him leave with a wicked smile on her face.

Characters: Giles, Ethan
Last line: The one thought he did not allow in his mind was that it was all too much for him, that he was running away. (24 words!)

The one thought he did not allow in his mind was that it was all too much for him, that he was running away. No. His was a completely rational decision, and so what if he was dressing softly in the middle of the night so as not to wake the figure on the mattress? Staying with Ethan would be running away, plunging further into hedonistic magicks in an attempt to destroy what was left of Rupert Giles would be running away. Those would be cowardly actions, not this.

Nevertheless, he picked up his boots and crept out in shame.

Title: Clean Conscience
Last line: He needed to fix this, but how?

He needed to fix this but how? Giles looked in panic at the pile of dust on the carpet that had formally been Spike. He shouldn't have done it, but the vampire had been giving him such aggravation all day, that he'd practically asked for it. Surely Buffy would understand?

No, she would not. Oh hell!

Wasn't there a spell that was said to reconstruct a body? And perhaps another to reconnect Spike's soul? That could work and she'd never have to know what had happened.

On the other hand... Giles reached a decision and switched on the vacuum cleaner.

But when Spike was gone, when he was alone again, he might indulge in a little victory dance. (part 1)

Goodbye. (part 1)

A Slayer deserves a night off now and then. (part 3)

Title: Rules
Author: il-mio-Capitano
Last line: He wasn't the man she wanted.

He wasn't the man she wanted him to be. The party had been wild and reckless, but now he was alone with the prettiest girl, Ripper saw past the mixture of lust, drink and drugs in her young waxy eyes and realised she was probably no more than fifteen. God, it was a terrible thing to be a responsible adult at twenty-one, and though she flung all manner of curses at him as he grabbed his jacket and fled the room, it was still the right thing to do.

He lit a cigarette and walked home. Some rules mattered.

Goodbye Is Easy To Say

il_mio_capitano

I've actually written something!

As an experiment, I've created a giles_shorts collection over on AO3 and posted the ficlet over there.

Click to read Venus Flytrap...

I've thrown open the challenge to anyone who might want to write a conclusion to this. In turn, I'm happy to be challenged to rescue Giles from any other situation.

Hi everyone, I've really missed this comm! Although, I've kept up on the sinful posts of May--so deliciously sinful. :) Sorry to not have contributed earlier. (Blame it on

Characters: Giles, Xander

"Because you're mine now," the walls whispered.

Xander looked around the ancient library in alarm. At each reading desk he could see corpses of scholars bent over books. Different generations, different motives to their own perhaps, but all had rotted to husk and bone.

"Giles!"

"Mmmm. Just a minute, Xander." The watcher was already seated, scrolls of slayer prophecy at his elbows. A notebook and pencil in eager hands. "There's something about Buffy in here."

To his side, a desk invitingly held the complete early X-Men comics but Xander pulled Giles roughly to his feet.

"We have to go."

Word Count: 100
A/N: Took up the last line challenge from feliciacraft

“What does the Slayerless Watcher watch, hmm?” Quentin Travers gloated. “I thought you should know, Rupert, your Slayer will not appear on The Wall of Honour.”

Giles defiantly met the malicious gaze of his superior. “You must be joking! Buffy saved the world... again! She faced a god and defeated her!”

“She should’ve sacrificed the Key! Now we have one dead Slayer and one languishing in prison. The world is left without a champion. Always the selfish bitch!”

Without a moment’s hesitation Giles unleashed his emotions - anger, grief, and overwhelming pride for his Slayer. The bastard never saw it coming.

"Better get some rest." Ethan cast the spell quickly, catching Rupert by the chest as he fell unconscious.

His doorbell had rung furiously at 2am, and there had been Rupert, tired, panicky, and more shit scared than Ethan had ever seen him. The First Evil had declared open war against the Council, against it's Watchers, against Buffy. He needed weapons, he needed a phone, a fax, a computer even.

Crazy talk of course, because Ethan knew best how to survive being hunted. What Ripper really needed was a place to hide, a place to think. He needed to go dark.

“I’ll watch over you,” Buffy encouraged. “You’re doing great. Just keep climbing up to me.”

Giles stopped to catch his breath and the rusty ladder groaned alarmingly as bolts screeched in protest. The smoke and heat from the cauldron below seemed inescapable.

“I’m getting too old for this, Buffy,” he gasped.

“Fine. We can talk about a retirement plan tomorrow. In the meantime, move your elderly ass up that ladder or I’m going to come down there and kick it for you.”

That was the trouble with ex-cheerleaders, he thought grudgingly as he climbed. It was always life and death.

Characters: Olivia, Giles, Ethan

Olivia was many things, but she'd never been a fool.

“You were not in the original line up of Pink Floyd.” The party had been dull until she amused herself by letting the tall, handsome boy try to seduce her.

“Sure he was." Unfortunately, Handsome Boy had an annoying friend who popped up like a serpent. “Our Ripper plays a mean guitar.”

“Ripper?”

“He had this Australian girlfriend once,” Serpent continued eagerly. “Very vocal in the night she was. The rest of us didn’t get a wink of sleep.”

She kept her eyes on Handsome. “That must have been hard.”

"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?"

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?"

TITLE: Bad Night
AUTHOR: LJS
RATING: G
SUMMARY: Season Four with chipped Spike, but before "A New Man"

“I thought you called her.” Despite his headache and aching ankle, Giles looked daggers at Spike.

“Can’t be having you lying at my crypt door, true, but I’m not ringing up the Slayer. No wish for a dusty evening.” Spike helped Giles up, snickered at the pain-ridden moan Giles couldn’t silence, pushed him forward. “Come on, old man, I’ll take you to hospital in the DeSoto. Might get a spot of blood while I’m there too, yeah.”

“So happy to help with your shopping,” Giles muttered, took a step, and winced.

Hurt on patrol. Helped by Spike. Worst night ever.

TITLE: The Burn
AUTHOR: LJS
RATING: G-ish
PAIRING: Giles/Anya-ish
SUMMARY: Season Six, a step off canon. After patrolling, in the Magic Box, alone, Giles and Anya.

“Obviously you should take your clothes off.” Anya handed Giles a towel – far too inadequate for whatever she meant by these horrifying words. “That Skia demon goop is caustic.”

“I’m fine,” Giles said, despite the beginnings of the demon-burn through his suede and corduroy.

“Don’t be stupid. I’ve just trained you as my partner, I don’t want you hurt.” Frowning, she began to take off his jacket herself.

The touch of her hands was worse than the demon, er, goop – another, sweeter kind of heat. “I’ll do it,” he said. She kept going.

He burned for her. He was lost.

TITLE: Bad Bargain

RATING: G
SUMMARY: In an unspecified AU future, on a European buying trip.

He had earned that.

Nursing his scratched cheek, Giles managed an apologetic smile. “I didn’t mean to impugn the provenance of your goods, madam.”

“He really didn’t!” Anya said brightly, despite her trembles. “Please forgive us.”

The vendor – a tall Grimaldi demon, reeking of magic and garlic, her claws still out – snarled. It echoed in the darkened room off this Monaco casino.

“Another hundred Euros for the grimoire,” Giles said. “Right, Anya?”

“You bet.”

Still snarling, the vendor accepted. Purchase made, Giles and Anya went out in the night.

"Rupert!" Anya kissed his wounded cheek. “Never bargain like that again.”

TITLE: Resignation
AUTHOR: LJS
PAIRING: None
RATING: G
SUMMARY: Canon-compliant; before "Bring on the Night," Season Seven.

“Be my guest,” Giles said, and folded his hands on the conference-room table. “Tell me where my information is suspect.”

Quentin Travers scowled. “It’s not the information as such, but the Watcher delivering it.”

Giles, weary of fighting these grey old men and women, weary of playing bloody Cassandra, rose. “The First Evil is coming. Make your preparations. I resign.”

“You swore an oath,” Travers said.

“And you have betrayed me time and again,” Giles said, “the contract is broken,” and shut the door behind him.

Then he sagged against old oak. Death was coming. He was on his own.
