Buffy fanfiction. Mostly Giles. He was sadly underused on the show. I wish they'd explored the Watcher/Slayer mythology more, which I think they lost sight of in light of the sheer amount of screen time devoted to Slayer/Vampire relationships. I like to think that being Buffy's watcher should be a title with meaning, not a mere mentor to be outgrown.

Some of my fanfiction (not all) is Buffy/Giles, mostly 'cause that lends itself to telling Watcher/Slayer stories. But whether or not I pair them up, it's all about Giles and the Watchers.

I tried to do my best for all the other characters on the show as well, without bashing any, 'cause deep down I like 'em all.

I've updated all the stories I posted previously to comply with fanfiction-net's new stupid formatting rules. Hopefully all the section breaks should show up right.
