Somehow, that wasn’t a reassurance Giles thought, staring at the squiggles making up the “battle plan”. “Explain to me again how all of this will help Buffy defeat a Hydra Demon?”

“Simple,” Xander replied, pointing to some of the marks. “We take up these positions. This lets Buffy get close enough to chop off it’s head. No more threat!”

“And after the body grows a new head, and the head a new body?” Giles asked with exaggerated patience.

Xander’s eyes widened. “They can do that?”

Title: Kaleidoscope Eyes
Author: forverbooks
Length: 148
Characters: Giles, Buffy
Rating: FRT
Prompt: Last Line "I bit him"



"I bit him." Giles sighed at her disapproving look. "I also kicked him in a rather sensitive area as well. When one doesn't have Slayer strength, one must improvise."

"I don't care about the fighting dirty part," Buffy said with irritation, "I care about the danger to you part. What if that thing had been poisonous?"

"Nonsense." Giles said, looking at her oddly. "Although, its skin has been known to have hallucinatory effects on humans. For example, right now you seem to have turned a rather alarming shade of fluorescent yellow."

"Anything else?" Buffy asked, bemused.

"You also appear to be pulsating," Giles admitted.

"Ok, time to get you home so you can trip out without scaring the locals."

"Really, Buffy-"

"No arguments." Buffy said, "And I'll be sticking around to keep an eye on you."

"What next, going to tuck me into bed while you're at it?"

Featuring: Almost everyone

Notes: This features a small crossover. More of a mention, really. the name of the other show is mentioned at the end of the fic


It was a few days after Joyce's funeral, and Willow was desperately throwing herself back into her normal routine, hoping that it would help her to forget the desperate grief that she still felt at Joyce's sudden death. And, while it wasn't the escape she had been hoping for, she found that between Tara's support and her class schedule, she was at least coping. She had just gotten back from the last of her classes, and had decided to go through the mail that had built up since that terrible day before meeting up with Tara and the others at the Magic Box. Luckily, being an unemployed college student, there wasn't much to sort through, just the usual junk mail, and a rare letter form her parents.

Title: No Refuge
Author: foreverbooks
Setting: Pre-Series
Prompt: His Favorite Things: Books
Word Count: 100
Disclaimer: Not mine, just having a little fun with them

For as long as Giles could remember, books had fed his curiosity and sense of adventure. But now, after Eyghon, they had become so much more - a refuge - A way to forget for a moment the disappointment on his parents' faces; an excuse to avoid his fellow Watchers-in-training, with their open contempt and barely contained morbid curiosity. A way to drown out the constant loop of Randall's final, horrific moments.

The one thing his books couldn't give him was relief from the never ending guilt. Not even they could provide him with a way to escape from himself
