and hoping that next year is much, much better! x

Pairing: Buffy/Giles
Spoilers: Through Chosen S7
Summary: Buffy and Giles prepare to celebrate Christmas in their own unique way.
Thanks: To Kerrie, Angela and my mother for advice and to Donna for the Beta... I couldn't have done it without you guys.
Dedication: To Sav. You asked for a Christmas fic, so I thought this would be the best way to do it without working my muse overtime! ;-) I promise that there will be a second part - still Christmas-y... In the meantime, have a great one, Sav.
Author's Notes: Set approx 2 and a half months after Butterflies. *Emphasis* [Thoughts]
Being Noticed
Rating: FRC
Pairing: None - Buffy/Giles friendship, perhaps?
Spoilers: Um... through early season 3... you'll understand, eventually ;)
Summary: A kind-of "What-if..." fluff-fic. Maybe if this had happened, things might have turned out differently.
Thanks: Huge thanks to Deb, for the beta and for being so patient with me on this one... Sorry for confusing you! And thanks to Kerrie for giving this a quick pre-beta check. :)
Best Of Intentions
Rating: FRT (language)
Pairing: Buffy/Giles and a teeny bit of Buffy/Spike, Xander/Anya
Spoilers: Through the end of Tabula Rasa (S6)
Summary: Too much was left unsaid between Buffy and Giles at the end of Tablula Rasa.
There is a large blank between Willow's spell breaking and Giles leaving. This fills that blank, and explains why Buffy and Giles went their separate ways and why Buffy turned to Spike.
Thanks: Ness - for giving this the shove it needed after about a year on the shelf... your suggestions were perfect, sweetie. And to Dword... for the Diana
Krall... and for the superb beta. *big hugs* to you both.
Dedication: To Kerrie. If you had never called me 'evil', Ness and I would never compared
notes on you and I would never have been brave enough to ask for her help on this. So in a bizarre way, you did me a favor. :P
Author's Notes: "Goodbye to you" is by Michelle Branch. WARNING: Although this starts off with humour, it ends not the happiest of fics.

Dreamer
Rating: FRC

Embers
Rating: FRC
Pairing: Buffy/Giles
Spoilers: Definitely all of season 7 but LMPTM never happened
Summary: Slightly AU (see spoilers). Buffy and Giles take time out to move on.
Thanks: JB, my 'Comma Queen' for the terrific beta! Your suggestions and corrections were exactly what the fic needed and your encouragement was exactly what I needed. *hug*. Thanks also to Ness for the initial
'nit-picking'! You were right... but 'THAT' scene would take forever to get over, so I decided that for the purposes of the fic, LMPTM never happened... that way, we're all happy. :-)

Rating: FRT

Spoilers: Up to midway through The Gift S5.
Summary: Without giving any surprises away, all I will say is that this is a re-write of the last few minutes of The Gift. Someone
else jumps into the portal, in order to give Buffy and Dawn a better future.
Thanks: So very much to Shelley with all your tremendous help and encouragement kick-starting this baby - especially with the
letter. Thanks also to Koala for the beta and, of course, to you both for your friendship :)
Dedication: To all of you who have encouraged me in my writing - if there's one thing I've learnt in my time writing fanfic, it's
that feedback - whether positive or constructively critical - not only feeds the bunnies, it also builds confidence which in turn helps
to make a better writer. So thank you for helping me to improve!

Dedication: To my beloved JJ for inadvertently throwing me this bunny in the car the other week after dinner. Also to Angela who had to put up with me squealing about my bunny but not telling what "inspired" it... can you guess what his comment was, now?? *EG*
Author's Notes: *Emphasis* [Thoughts] and a side note - Daddy was set about 2 months after the twin's conception... this picks up the story a further 2 months on and assumes that everyone knows about the babies.

My Angel
Rating: FRC
Pairing: Giles/Buffy Friendship
Spoilers: Up through "Dead Things" S6
Summary: Takes place a few days after "Dead Things". Buffy receives an unexpected 'phone call. As far as I'm concerned, Joss forgot to put this scene in, and the Buffy-verse consequently got screwed up. So, I'm putting it right. ;-)
Thanks: To My JJ for the inspiration, to Angela for the quick beta and to Asht for the final polish.
Author's Notes: *Emphasis* [Thoughts] Additional disclaimer: "Footprints" has been claimed by many people, but ownership has never been proven.

Parting Gifts
Rating: FRM
Pairing: Buffy/Giles
Spoilers: S6 Through Tabula Rasa
Summary: Based on the Love Letters Challenge at buffygiles.com, Giles leaves gifts for all the Scoobies when he leaves. Unfortunately the gift he intended to leave his Slayer travels to England with him, and the present she opens turns out to be some rather private letters revealing well-hidden feelings. We all know Buffy loves Giles, but what will she do with her newfound knowledge that he loves her back? *grin* I wonder…
Dedication: To Rari, for your advice, encouragement and excellent (as usual) beta work.
Author's note: Am I the only person who noticed the intimate and meaningful look that passed between Buffy and Giles in the song, "What Can't We Face if We're Together?" in "Once More With Feeling"? I haven't seen any mention of it in any other fic, so I thought I'd do the honours.
Sidenote: "Stuck on You" belongs to Lionel Richie and Brockman Music. "Never had a Dream Come True" written by C. Dennis/S.Ellis published by EMI.

Rating: FRC

Summary: Buffy POV... Ever wondered what Buffy thought when Anya implied that Giles was "Dying" in Grave? Here's my interpretation of that moment.
Thanks: A huge thanks Renee for the unbelievably quick turn around betaing this, and for keeping Buffy... Buffy.
Author's note: [thoughts] *emphasis*

Rating: FRM

Spoilers: Through "Something Blue"
Summary: Forget everything you remember about "Something Blue"... this is how it should have been...
Thanks: Go to Deb for the quick yet thorough beta - great stuff girl! And also to thanks to Dword - see below;)

Starting Over
Rating: FRT
Pairing: Buffy/Giles
Spoilers: All of S6 - specifically Bargaining, Seeing Red and Grave
Summary: Giles and Buffy finally catch up properly after the events of Grave S6.
Truths, tears and smoochies proceed...
Thanks: I really cannot thank my beta - Gail - enough for all your help. To say you
polished the fic would be an understatement. Your encouragement, patience and
inspiration perfected it. And thanks too, to Angela for your thought on the
initial outline. And I can't forget Dword - for fixing 1 little oops, lol. You guys are wonderful people to know. :)
Dedication: To all the B/G fans disappointed [okay, maybe that's an understatement] with
'The Spike Show'... umm... I mean Season Seven... this is for you all. Let's
imagine this is how Grave ended and create our own S7 imaginings from this,
shall we? At the same time, hopefully it explains a lot about Season Sux... I
mean... Six... and why Buffy did what she did... now, on with the fic...
Author's Note: *Emphasis* [Thoughts] and Gail reckoned this needed a major Kleenex warning... so
prepare yourself...
Still a Fool
Rating: FRT
Pairing: Buffy/Giles
Spoilers: Up to and including the first half of Fool for Love
Summary: When Buffy asked Giles about why the Watcher's Diaries didn't refer to previous Slayers' deaths in more detail, why didn't she react more sensitively to his pained response? And why didn't he pick up on her brief
declaration of love? Here's my theory of how it should go from that point on.
Author's note: This is an early birthday pressie for Kattie - have a great one!

Spoilers: Through Chosen S7, plus mild spoilers for early S5 of Angel
Summary: Following the birth of the Twins in "The Perfect Gift", the reader was left wondering why Buffy and Giles chose the names that they did for their children. We discover why, in this flashback.
Thanks: Tons to JBG for taking the time to beta this - you're a star :-)
Author's Notes: I didn't realise the irony of the first name until I'd written it... honest... although, I will admit that one or two of the other names are deliberate shout outs to people who have provided wonderful support in the writing of this series - I will point out, however, that these are just Buffy's and Giles' opinions... not mine... okay? :-) *Emphasis* [Thoughts]
