am begging fandom at large to adopt my niche but ultimately extremely correct take that giles would have been immediately tech literate had jenny lived. HE WAS HOLDING A PROGRAMMING BOOK WHEN HE TRIED TO ASK HER OUT. man was doing his HOMEWORK. he loves her so much & his reticence re: computers would have eroded just the same way he stayed at that monster truck rally. it would have been full of passive aggressive comments in places but he would still be taking notes on every single thing she has to say.

AN: This fic is a continuation of this one. I just want to say a big thank you to @rmoonstoner and @queenofthehobos for your interest in the previous part and I hope you enjoy this one just as much.
Warnings: canon typical violence, mentions of violence, and jealous Ares.
You rested your forehead against Rupert's as you struggled to catch your breath in the stacks of the library at Sunnydale High.
"Did my kiss leave you breathless?" Rupert teased.
"Hush," you ordered before dragging his lips back to yours.
"GILES!"
Rupert regretfully broke the kiss, "What could they possibly want now?"
"They're kids in a library on a hellmouth. My guess? Academic support."
Rupert frowned at you, clearly not amused by your joke, before straightening his clothing and walking out to greet the teens. You walked out a few minutes later.
"Hey (Name)," Xander said as he sat at the table. "Any luck with breaking the bond that connects you and Ares?"
You shook your head, "Everything we've read so far states that since Ares created it, he's the only one who can destroy it and it doesn't exactly end well for the person on the other end."
"Why can't these gods keep to themselves?" He groaned.
"Well, I've been doing some research on the situation on my own," Wesley announced. "With the resources that the Council has graciously permitted me to use."
"Does he ever shut up?" Buffy groused.
You however had a completely different reaction, "You told the Council?"
"Well, yes. I am obliged to keep them updated with all the goings-on in Sunnydale." Wesley adjusted his glasses.
"If you were on a battlefield and you had been impaled in the shoulder, would you contact the Council and update them in the middle of the battle?"
"Don't be absurd," Wesley scoffed. "I would be placing the people that I'm fight...oh." He trailed off sheepishly.
"Glad we understand each other," you snapped. "Call me if you need me to patrol tonight Buffy."
You met Rupert's eyes before you walked out of the library. They were soft and apologetic but did little to cool your anger.
That night, your dreams were anything but restful. You dreamt of wars fuelled by passion and in each of your dreams, you could feel Ares' growing presence. In your last dream for the night, the god appeared in front of you and captured your mouth in a dominating kiss that left you woozy. It took far too long for you to realise that Ares had pressed his hand to the small of your back to keep you in place as he kissed you.
"The mortal's kiss might have taken your breath away once but my kisses are the ones that you'll be craving until the end of time."

Okay I'm sorry someone needs to take my brain away from me because this idea just shot down from the skies, like fully just knocked me on my ass and I was left staring with my mouth open at work for like five minutes while I short circuited and I NEED to infect everyone else.
Kay so we all know Buffy right?
And we all know ✨Giles✨
Lovely, sweetness, lil goofy, lil awkward, used to fuck around with black magic in his youth, be a rebel, plays guitar, sings, can ABSOLUTELY be dangerous if he has to be Giles?
Are you getting me? Are you catching what I'm throwing babes?
So like now I CANNOT stop thinking of adult Eddie in glasses and soft tweed and sweaters with his hair tied up reading some dusty ancient tome because he can, smiling, acting and looking like the epitome of a gentle little cinnamon roll with his equally sweetheart husband
Until
UNTIL
Someone threatens his people and they find out the hard way about the witch hunt and the cult accusations and the mean and scary reputation and the near death and the hardened badassery that comes with nearly dying and this sweet lil man is fucking dangerous if he needs to be and I just I-
Help

God Buffy is pissing me off!!! Ooooo Spike is so bad oooo a vampire a demon A THING(!!!) I shouldn't want to fuck him mee-mee-mee
Like, bitch?? He's hot, get over it!
Also the fact that at the beginning of season 6 she was all buddy-buddy with him and then randomly started behaving like an asshole makes no! damn! sense!
As a side note: this rant isn't about me being upset on spike's behalf because he bewitched me body and soul in fact it's not about him at all. It's about me not understanding Buffy and her motives because the writing is kind of strange and silly. It doesn’t really match her character development imo? I feel like at this point she should be a bit more mature🤷‍♀️

Google is trash and I don't remember the name but I read a fic ages ago on livejournal or dreamwidth or even a personal website where giles becomes a vampire after being turned by either spike or drusilla
Things I remember
-he still helps fight Glory
-he still cares for dawn
-drusilla dies and it upsets Spike and Giles
-debate over whether to give him his soul back
Does anyone know this fic, or fics like this? Please help me!!

the girls gather in the dragon stables where legend has just laid her eggs, holly scrolls through Dragonpedia to find out more about the eggs and how to hatch them "Dragonpedia says, in the wild, mothers lay their eggs near active volcanoes to warm them until they hatch. Apparently, it takes years." the girls beside her exclaim their excitement about the babies. meanwhile cupid keeps her eyes on the nest, ever since legend finally pushed them out she has felt a strange urge.
raven stands " I could cast a spell to keep the-" her words get cut off as cupid in a daze pushes past her and on top of the nest, making sure to be gentle and not damage the delicate shells beneath her. "what the hex" mira says with a frown, the other girls look confused at the scene before them "um cupid? what are you doing?" the girl ignores them, resting satisfied upon the eggs and cooing quietly to them as if they can hear her. when apple reaches towards her, cupid swipes her hand ready to scratch the girl. apple pulls her hand back just in time and she stands back shocked at the display of aggression. the girls try to figure out whats wrong with their friend and eventually head to the school to ask one of the more knowledgeable teachers. baba yaga and giles grimm follow the group into the stables where cupid still rests, a couple other students had also followed upon hearing about the dragon eggs being there. baba yaga and giles study the girls odd behavior, and still look perplexed as the give their opinions
"she's being very territorial over the unhatched eggs, treating them as her own. but i have no clue what is causing this behavior, i sense no magic affecting her" baba yaga explains, giles strokes his chin in thought and studies her mannerisms. "hmm this behavior feels familiar, but i cant quite wrap my head around how it could be what i theorize." raven speaks up "what do you think it could be?" the older man continues to study the pink haired girl " do any of you know who ms.cupids parents are?" apple speaks up "apparently she was adopted by her father as a baby, that's all we know" giles hums "so her biological parentage is unknown. madam yaga, i need you to collect a couple books from under the school. one is ' The Great book of cryptozoology' and another is 'The Complete guide to transformation magic'" baba yaga nods and heads off to collect them.
the students confer with each otherwhile they wait, the newly joined ones share their excitement over the babies, blondie lockes records an impromptu mirrorcast announcing their arrival and awkwardly giggles after her roommate swats at her for bringing the camera too close. the others still share their concerns with eachother and mira sits in the corner frustrated that her plan is being postponed.
eventually baba yaga returns with the two books, giles thanks her and skips to a specific page in the transformation book "miss yaga may i ask you to perform this spell for me?" the older woman reads out the incantation and everyone watches in wonder as cupid's form changes before their eyes. "just as i had thought, her behavior was reminiscent of a bone elemental." he opens the book of cryptozoology and shares the page on elementals "bone elementals are beings specifically designed to watch over and raise dragon eggs as the mothers will usually hibernate until after the dragons are born. they will usually continue to help rear the hatchlings until they are ready to leave the nest" the students huddle in and read over the page "it would seem that your friend is one of these beings, and its just her natural instincts kicking in"
apple looks concerned over at cupid "but dragons take years to hatch, will she have to stay here the entire time?" giles considers the worry and consults the book " it seems that these beings grow more attached the longer they sit on the eggs, she has thankfully only been on them for a short time so its likely we could remove her from the eggs and keep them apart to stop her attempting to hatch them again." raven considers the option "but she's lashing out at anyone who comes near, how would we move her?"
mira groans, having enough of this boring drama. she levitates the girl off and heats the eggs like she had planned, yells erupt out. "mira! what was that for?!" raven yells, mira shrugs dropping cupid onto the ground "the issue was that she wouldn't leave until they hatch, so i thought i would speed up the hatching process." all the students seem confused until the sound of cracking catches their attention, slowly the baby dragons poke their little bodies out of the shells and the room watches amazed. as the babies appear cupid rushes over to each one and begins the process of cleaning remaining shell pieces off and showing them love, baba yaga turns to mira "young lady, that was a show of power. where exactly did you learn this?" mira waves the question off "i learnt it when i was getting home schooled, my parents paid for really good tutors" the witch stays slightly suspicious but lets the matter go for now, all of the students gather in awe at the cute hatchlings. thankfully now that they are no longer eggs, the possibility of having your eyes scratched out for getting too close is not an issue.
apple moves over to cupid as the baby dragons explore the stables and bother legend as the mother dragon tries to get some much needed rest "are you ok now? it was a bit concerning watching you turn on us like that" cupid laughs, her eyes keeping track of the little ones "i feel better, i have never had this actually happen before. i had a friend tell me about my kind and she mentioned how were meant to be nannies, but i didn't think it was something that would take over me like that." apple nods and looks over the other girls appearance "why did you never tell us that you were a different species, we thought you were a cherub" cupid scratches at her arm, self conscious "i thought it would be best to let you guys see me that way, i don't exactly fit in like this." apple frowns and squeezes the other girls hands "we would have accepted you, we're your friends, you didn't have to hide like that." cupid smiles finally turning her attention to the other girl "thanks apple" the moment is cut short when she notices a hatchling trip over, she rushes to the small creature and checks it over.
apple giggles and walks over "it seems that the instincts aren't entirely out of your system yet" cupid laughs embarrassed "not quite"
the teachers head back to the main building leaving the students to be with the dragons, blondie records another live mirrorcast updating the school on the birth of the dragons. not long after more students come by to see them and soon enough the stable is filled with people, the change makes cupids head feel a bit woozy as she tries to keep track of the young dragons through the crowd but thankfully a couple of the girls offer their help in keeping watch, lowering the elementals stress slightly. she trusts her friends to keep the babies safe.

mini fic for btvs 1x04 Teacher's Pet
---
There are times when Rupert seriously, genuinely, very much questions every single life choice that led him to Sunnydale.
Not because the town is just about teeming with all sorts of demons in addition to the vampires. Not even because it is, for some reason, built on top of a hellmouth, which just seems like an irresponsible choice all around, but what can one expect. No, it’s simply that no one thought to tell him in advance that the calling as a Watcher would involve so much worrying about humans and the things they got up to.
Witches—he can deal with witches, even those whose motivations are a mystery to him. Cheerleading. Really. After all, there he may have gotten up to some thing or other in his youth that, to an outside observer, may seem just as mysteriously-motivated. Stupid, even, perhaps. Maybe even to Rupert himself, if he were to judge his past self now. Which he will not, because it bears no relevance, and he is much too busy trying to keep up with more young people than he ever expected to be responsible for.
It astounds him, on occasion, how quickly he conceded the possibility of the Slayer going to school and making friends. Then he looks at her, and it astounds him that he could ever have considered trying to keep her from it.
At the moment, the main thing that astounds him is the readiness—and enthusiasm—of one Willow Rosenberg for the committing of illegal acts. He knows her as a shy, unassuming girl trying to keep out of trouble. Apparently, trouble with the law is not as much on Willow’s radar of concerns as trouble with her peers, for she cheerfully and skilfully uses the computer to conjure coroner’s reports and teachers’ records alike. He does admire her, if he’s honest with himself. He hardly understands how to use this technology for the simplest tasks; if he were to attempt any such thing as she is doing with such casual ease, it would be embarrassing for everyone involved.
Rupert looks at her proud smile, full of innocent joy as she presents the results of her criminal activities, and vaguely hopes she will never think to look into what might be recorded of his own past.

The whole reason why Buffy and Giles know each other in the first place is because she’s going to die and he’s going to lead her to her death, but they make their relationship into so much more than that and. I actually feel incredibly fine and normal about that.

It's Valentine's Day and Giles has been bit by an unidentified demon. The venom's having unusual side effects.
“Valentine’s Day - oh lord, I’ve mucked everything up haven’t I? I had plans, exquisite, carefully detailed plans to spoil you. I was going to cook - not have you, ah, shag the sense back into me.” “Rupert, can I tell you a secret?” Jenny kisses the spot directly beside his ear, feels him melt to putty in her hands. In too weak a state to keep sparring with her, the strength of his self-flagellation no match for lust magic. He’s beyond adorable for thinking it would be. “I was planning to seduce you anyway.”
everyone come into this little corner with me - where calendiles had a silly demon issue on valentine's day, and nothing tragic happened at all (includes, scoobies being mortified, damsel in distress giles, and love/lust magic because that's my thing lately i guess). happy valentine's!

He knew it was unreasonably cruel, lashing out at Buffy like this. It wasn’t her fault. It hadn’t been. It had been him who’d listened, turned away, let Buffy run roughshod over Jenny’s heart—or, no, that wasn’t right, was it? Jenny had loved Buffy, but her love for Giles burned so brightly that it had very nearly killed her. It had been him who’d run roughshod over Jenny’s heart.
i return! with this!
this is for @hal-1500, because we have talked in great detail about the notion of jenny being very vulnerable post-passion and giles struggling with it! i meant to write something super cute about him fussing over her, but then suddenly it turned into "absolutely everyone is imploding post-passion even tho jenny lived," which. can also still be cute? maybe?
also you should totally check out hal's drabble on the same subject, which is basically if this was much much cuter and involved much less of giles trying to torpedo all of his relationships.

Warnings: canon typical violence, Buffy spoilers, magic and obsession.
Strolling into the library at Sunnydale High School, you were greeted with a very odd sight. Jenny Calendar and Amy Madison standing opposite each other proclaiming that they loved Xander more than the other did.
“What is going on?”
Giles pulled off his glasses and rubbed his forehead, “Xander convinced Amy to do a love spell in order to break Cordelia’s heart because she broke his. The spell went awry and now every woman in Sunnydale is obsessed with him except Cordelia.”
“I’m not.”
“You’re not?” Giles and Xander asked in unison. Giles put his glasses back on and stared at you.
You shook your head, “Nope.”
“You have no idea how relieved I am to hear you say that.”
“What are you feeling now?” Giles questioned.
You were about to answer when Amy spoke “Goddess Hecate, hear my will! Remove this challenger from my sight!”
“Not good!” Xander cried, jumping out of the way.
Red lights swirled around her but instead of attacking you, it turned on her.
“Foolish girl,” Jenny clicked her tongue and crossed her arms over her chest. “If there’s a goddess of witchcraft then there are gods that govern other areas that belong to the same pantheon. You asked Hecate to protect you from a challenger.”
“Another word for challenger is fighter.” Giles breathed, “The reason the obsession spell didn’t affect you is because a god has already claimed you as theirs. I would classify this as a battle field and since Amy’s spell backfired on her, pushing her forcefully into the air, I know which god has claimed you.”
So did you, “It’s Ares.” You stated.
Giles nodded once, “Let’s return everything to normal, including Buffy and then we’ll find a way to break Ares’ hold on you.”
“What happened to Buffy?”
“Amy turned her into a rat and she’s loose in the school.” Xander explained, climbing up from the floor.
“Oh.”
“Just another lovely day in Sunnydale.” Giles complained.
