Giles Shorts

 So, in celebration littleotter73  and I wanted to put together a recommendation list of scary Giles fics.... But when we sat down to think about it, we realized that all of our favorites were written by our very own il_mio_capitano. So, turn the lights down, curl up with a warm beverage and let Cap tell you a spooky story.


1. Absent Friends
"Giles joins Ethan on a pub crawl to commemorate their dead friends from Eyghon days. One by one, their dead friends start to join them."


2. Watchers End
"Season 6 in London. Giles is reluctantly down in the tube station at midnight. This should end well."


3. Rupert Giles vs the Headless Horseman
"A little something for Halloween. Giles goes looking for Buffy between seasons 2&3. He finds someone else instead. NB this is not a Sleepy Hollow crossover. I haven't seen that show. Instead it draws inspiration from original Washington Irving story."  


4. Vampyre!
"An encounter with a vampire means Giles' first Halloween in the Magic Box goes from bad to worse. With Spike trying to teach him and Buffy trying to slay him, he finds himself caught up in a crazy quest before the sun rises." 


5. Venus Flytrap
Short and creepy and written specifically for this community! "Written for the prompt of Trapped as part of Giles Shorts collection. Giles really should know better than to wander off on his own...."


6. Monster
"Set after Chosen. Giles has disappeared from the group and could be a threat. Buffy isn't sure how much she wants to deal with that problem when they meet up unexpectedly in Europe, but are there are other supernatural forces at play?"

A note about This is the first part of Cap's series of the same name. It may be set a Christmas instead of Halloween, but this is perfect for those of you wanting to get into something longer. Fair warning, you are going to want to read the rest when you finish Part 1.  You can also find the whole thing here on FF.net.


Thank you, Captain, oh my Captain, for these wonderful stories! Hope you all enjoy reading them as much as we do! 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
