Equilibrium
Rating: FRT

Summary: Giles and Buffy spend a rather fraught evening together.
Thanks: To Heron Pose, Vatwoman, and KathyP for the betas and comments!
Author's Notes: Written for `mythichistorian''s "Watchers' Firsts" Ficathon, using the prompt words "confession", "anxiety", "at
home". WARNING: There is some potentially upsetting subject matter here, which relates to Joyce's illness.
Free Will
Rating: FRT
Pairing: No Pairing
Spoilers: Up through season 7.
Summary: Giles, a few months post-Chosen. Everyone deals in their own way.
Thanks:To Vatwoman for the beta; and to audrey3_71 for the beta and the translations. Any errors are my own.
Author's Notes: This fic is partly inspired by the bits in `Chosen' where Buffy says, "Every girl who *could* be a slayer, *is* a
slayer", and shows a very young girl as an example of this; and also the apparent lack of reaction to everything that was lost in
Sunnydale besides the mall. I think both of those needed a bit of follow-through. The story is set in Salzburg, Austria. There is a
German/English translation at the end of the story.
Holding On
Rating: FRC
Pairing: Giles/Anya
Spoilers: Through "Grave"
Summary: Post-Grave
Thanks: To Lori for the betas, and Vatwoman and KathyP for the read throughs!
Author's Notes: Written for the Gilesficathon on LiveJournal. Assignment called for Giles/Anya; Schmoopy fluff perhaps following `Grave' or `Tabula Rasa'; No Buffy bashing, no sad ending; and a mention of Turkish coffee.

Spoilers: None - this is set in a vague, AU season 7 a little while after my G/Anya fic entitled 'Power'
Summary: A wintry evening at home with Giles, Anya, and a delivery from L.L.Bean

Pairing: Giles/OC (Megan)
Spoilers: Through "Becoming II"
Summary: A year and a half after `Becoming II', Giles goes to visit Megan in England, only to find himself facing demons old and
new. This fic follows on from "A Matter of Time", and will make a lot more sense if you've read that first
Thanks: For betas, patience, and support above and beyond the call of duty, a tremendous thank you to Vatwoman and KathyP! This
fic has been in the works for fourteen months, and I am grateful to a *lot* of people, many of them on Livejournal, for fact checking and
for keeping me going in ways large and small on the many occasions when I threatened to fall on my pen.

Spoilers: Takes place between 'Bargaining I' and 'Flooded'.
Summary: After 'The Gift', Giles is back in England and back in trouble.
Thanks: To Sharon and Gail, and my heartfelt thanks to Lesley, who very kidnly read this more times than anyone should have to. Her editorial wizardry made this a much better and longer story than it would otherwise have been!

Stasis
Rating: FRT
Spoilers: All of season 6 and also somewhat influenced by spoilers of season 7
Summary: Picks up immediately where 'Grave' leaves off
Stasis (Revisted)
Rating: FRT
Pairing: None
Spoilers: All of season 6 BtVS
Summary: Post-Grave fic
Author's Notes: 'Stasis (Revisited)' was a bit of an experiment. 'Stasis' (the original version), was the
first fic I ever posted, back in July or August 2002. The reception it got created the monster I am now. *g* So as
an experiment, just to get an idea of how my writing has changed and evolved, I've rewritten that puppy. I hope
you enjoy it.

Three Connected Drabbles

"strawberry" kindly provided by Lori. Hope you enjoy this attempt to unblock the writing block. :-)
