Faded Dreaming

Title: The Wrong Discovery
Author: aaronlisa
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Characters: Willow Rosenberg, Rupert Giles, Angel, with mentions of Oz, Buffy and Xander.
Pairings: implied Buffy/Angel, Willow/Oz, and Willow/Xander
Rating: FR13
Disclaimer: Buffy the Vampire Slayer belongs to Joss Whedon and company.
Prompts: This was written for velvetwhip who prompted me with Giles/Angel/Willow in the library and not necessarily a threesome.
Notes 1: This is both a rewrite and an expansion of a fic I wrote back in 2005 of the same name. That story was only 418 words and was rather one dimensional. When I recently re-read it, I thought it'd be interesting to expand it a bit more.
Notes 2: Set during BtVS Season Three, just after the events in 3x08 "Lovers' Walk."
Summary: Giles sees something and automatically makes the wrong assumption about what he saw.
Word Count: 2100

Notes: I recently re-watched 5x16 "The Body," and I felt that the scene between Tara and Buffy was missing something.

Title: The Persistence of Grief
Author: aaronlisa
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Characters: Rupert Giles, Willow Rosenberg
Rating: FR13

Notes: This was written for the 2020 Summer-of-Giles. It takes place after the first two episodes of Season One but before the third one.
Notes: There is a minor reference to my story Settling In which I wrote for Summer of Giles in 2018. However, you really don't need to read that one to read this one. I only mention it because I took the idea of why Giles came to be the librarian at the high school from that story.
Summary: It's been a busy first week and Rupert Giles is just getting caught up on his neglected work as the school's librarian early one morning when he hears a sounds that shouldn't be heard in the library at six in the morning
