Giles x reader - happily married
Would you be up for a Giles married to reader who happens to be buffys aunt? - @sitkafay 💜
It had been a while since you had been in town, you had been away on work and all you wanted to do was go home, find your husband and go to sleep.
So, when you walked through the door of the house you set your bags down and looked around.
“Rupert?” You called.
You waited for an answer but there was none, so you grabbed your bags and took them upstairs, not even bothering to unpack them, all you did was go back down the stairs to put your jacket on the hook and made your way back upstairs.
You collapsed on the bed and let the jet lag take you to a much needed world of sleep, though it didn’t last as long as you hoped.
The door was thrown open, and you could hear the voices of people down the stairs.
“Giles?!” They called.
You furrowed your brows and grumbled a little, pulling the blanket of your head.
“Giles we need help!”
You pulled the blanket down, jumped out of bed at the sound of the voice.
Making your way to the stairs you walked halfway down them and looked at the small group of young adults standing in the living room.
“Well, look who we have here.” You grinned.
They all turned around and you grinned a little, making your way down the stairs.
“(Y/N)!”
Buffy wasted no time in running over crush you into a hug which you were more than happy to respond to.
You hugged her tightly, a smile on your face and you pulled away.
“My god Buffy, it’s been years since I saw you last, you’ve grown so much.”
She smiled.
“And you’ve gotten older.”
You playfully glared at you, and she grabbed your hand to lead you over to her friends and you smiled warmly at them all.
“Guys, this is my aunt (Y/N). You remember the one who was always travelling for work?”
Buffy then turned to you.
“(Y/N) this is Xander, Tara, Anya, Willow and that’s spike. We don’t like spike.”
You looked at the man who was eyeing you up down with a little grin on his face.
He went to step forward and was pushed back by Xander and he went to glare.
“Can’t a guy say hello now? Bloody unreasonable.” He grumbled.
“Not when it’s Buffy’s aunt you can’t, in fact you can’t ever, why are you ever here?”
They began to bicker.
“Children! Children!”
They all turned to you and you gestured for them all to sit down so they did.
Spike huffed and left the house.
“Why are you at Giles’ place?” Willow asked.
Buffy turned to you.
She gave you a sheepish look and you laughed a little, shaking your head at her.
“Please don’t..” she grumbled.
“Oh I’m so going to now.”
You turned to her friends and she jumped on you, covering mouth with her hand so you couldn’t say anything.
“Come on tell us!” Xander grinned.
“No! There’s nothing to tell!” Buffy yelled.
“Maybe she came looking for you?” Tara offered.
“Oh she definitely came looking for somebody else.” Anya smirked.
You carried on pretending to fight with your niece, until she finally gave in and let you go, giving you a pleading look.
You grinned a little and leant back in the chair, looking at her friends.
“So, what brings you guys by?”
“Do you know about demons?” Anya asked.
“Anya!” Willow hissed.
You laughed slightly.
“I know a bit, not much. I don’t think I’ll be much help to you.”
“Do you know where Giles is?” Tara asked.
You shook your head.
“I’ve been here a few hours maybe, I was asleep until you heard of elephants came bounding in.”
They grinned a little at you, and you looked at Buffy.
“Can we hang around until he gets back?”
“Yeah, of course. Just don’t break anything, now, I’m going back to sleep, you guys behave.”
You got up, hugging your niece you went to leave but she stopped you, and you looked at her, sighing softly.
Sitting back down on the chair, you let her squeeze herself next to you and you kicked your feet on the table.
“Go on then, tell me about all your adventures. If I fall asleep don’t take it personally I’m tired.”
So, that’s what they did.
They all excitedly told you everything that had been going on, especially Buffy who wanted you to know everything about everything she knew.
You knew about her being the slayer, and you were supportive of her just like her watcher was, you helped her when you could.
She loved telling you about her life, because you always just listened, no snide remarks or comments, no judging her choices or things she did, you just listened.
They got talking to themselves, and you had fallen asleep in the chair.
Buffy noticed this and shook your shoulder.
“Go to bed.”
You nodded, trudging back to bed and they carried on their discussion.
The door was opened and closed, and when Giles turned around he saw all eyes were on him.
“I’m going to change my locks, what on earth are you all doing here at this time?” He asked.
He looked at his watch to see it was early hours of the morning.
“Demons.” Anya said.
“Help.” Xander said next.
“Please?” Willow and Tara grinned.
He sighed, taking his jacket off he set it on the side and gestured for them to carry on while he went to the kitchen to make drinks.
He brought the tray out, setting it on the table.
“Well, it definitely sounds like demons, I’ll have to have a look through some books, but I’m pretty sure I know who these demons are, they’re rather easy to handle.”
They nodded and Buffy looked at him with a blank face.
“There’s something upstairs by the way, you might want to check that out.”
He furrowed his brows and handed the book to Willow, making his way up the stairs.
Turning the light on, he looked around and his gaze landed on the bed.
A wide smiled spread on his face, and he took his glasses off, setting them in his pocket as he made his way over, sitting on the bed he placed a hand on your shoulder.
“No…” you mumbled.
Giles leant down, gently pressing his lips to your forehead.
“Welcome home…”
You opened your eyes and you beamed a little at him, placing a hand on the back of his head so you could kiss him.
It was a kiss he happily responded too, placing his hand on the side of your face as he felt the feeling of your lips on his for the first time in months.
He pulled away and you sat up, shuffling over so you could tuck yourself against him in a hug.
He smiled, kissing your head a few times.
“You never said you were coming home..” he whispered.
“Wanted it to be a surprise, but the gang of heathens needed you help… and they woke me up…”
He chuckled a little at your disappointed tone.
“Well, I shall send them on their way, then you can go back to sleep darling.”
You shook your head, titling your head back to kiss his jaw.
“No.. it’s fine, help them.”
“Are you sure? I can ask them to come back, I don’t believe they would have an issue with that.”
You hummed a little as you stood up, stretching as you walked off.
Giles got up to follow you, and you stood near the wardrobe, looking for something more comfortable to wear.
With a little grin, he reached out, taking both your hands in his and turned you around, your back against the wall.
He let go of your hands, settling for cradling your face instead and you balled your hands into the fabric of his sweater as he leant down to kiss you again.
You didn’t want it to end, but when someone shouted his name he sighed and pulled away, giving you an apologetic look.
“I do love you, but if I don’t go down they’re going to come up.”
You laughed, patting his chest.
“Get, I’ll be down in a minute.”
He quickly kissed you before walking away and you found some more comfortable clothes to change into before following him.
You wondered into the kitchen to find something to eat, Buffy standing next to you to help raid the cupboards.
“Since your back now does this mean we can go shopping?” She asked.
“As in you want to spend your money or you want to spend my husbands money?”
She grinned.
“Your husbands.”
You hummed, glancing into the living before turning back to her.
“How long until they find out?” She asked.
She was trying to keep it a secret because she knew he friends would never let her live down the fact that her watcher, and old librarian was in fact her uncle.
“I’m gonna go with not long.”
She furrowed her brows and you pointed to Anya.
“She’s seen his wedding ring.”
“I don’t know how they haven’t noticed it before.” Buffy said.
Anya whispered something to Tara, who whispered to Willow who passed it on to Xander.
You walked into the living room, sitting back in your chair as you flicked through some books, silence taking over for a while.
But of course it never lasted.
“Giles!”
In an instant both yours and your husbands head shot up to face the boy who had just shouted in shock.
“What?” You both asked.
“Oh my god they are married!” Willow squealed.
Buffy hid her face and you laughed while Giles turned away in embarrassment.
“Buffy’s watcher is her uncle!” Xander laughed.
You reached up, placing your hand on your husbands, and he looked at you with a smile.
“How does it feel knowing you’re never going to escape him Buffy? You’re stuck with him now.” Anya said.
“Okay I’m going home!”
She ran towards the door while he friends ran after her.
“Congratulations Giles!” They yelled.
The house became empty and Giles sighed, sitting on the arm of the chair and you rested your head against his side.
“I’m never living this down, am I? They’re going to taunt me about this for the rest of my life.”
“Ouch, am I really that bad?” You teased.
He smiled, standing up and offered you his hand which you took so you could stand up.
“Nothing could ever compare to how perfect you are dear.”
“You’re such a suck up Rupert.”
He grinned a little.
“Isn’t that why you fell in love with me? That and I am ruggedly handsome if I say so myself, with a rather charming British accent.”
“I’m sorry, would you like to marry yourself?”
He rolled his eyes and wrapped his arms around you waist, and you wrapped yourself around his shoulders.
“I love you.” He whispered.
You leant up, brushing your lips against his.
“I love you too.”

Five String Serenade
Pairing: Giles x shy!reader
Request: Not requested. I started writing this when I had covid last year and just found it again! This is another one where reader is inserted into the plot of an episode, this one’s where the wild things are, where we find Giles singing at the espresso pump.
You are shy and go to their music/poetry evenings to try and salvage some kind of social life, only to be mesmerised by the man that comes and plays every month or so. You tell yourself that tonight is the night that you speak to him after his set but you didn’t bank on getting in the middle of a life or death situation.
You were sat there, patiently waiting for the music to begin. You had arrived early. Early enough that you had already ordered a second beverage from the counter as you waited. You were on your own, but you had managed to fend off any lingering embarrassment at that fact easily by now. You spent a lot of time in your own company and decided that you wanted to try and experience new things even if it meant stepping out of your comfort zone.
The Espresso Pump was busier than usual but your usual seat in the back corner of the room was miraculously still waiting for you when you returned. You slid into the empty seat and smiled softly to yourself. You had made yourself a promise and you were going to make good on it tonight.
You had become a regular at this coffee house, mostly for these open mic nights that they put on, where people would mostly sing or recite their own words with such feeling. You were barely confident enough to take a seat in the audience, let alone get up there yourself but you adored watching and soaking in the atmosphere of these evenings.
The first woman came onto the small stage and you smiled politely and swayed softly but she wasn’t who you had come here to see. Once upon a time, you had just come for the experience but now you found yourself increasingly coming just to catch a glimpse of him. He was so talented but from hearing him speak and the way he appeared so kind and considerate to those around him, you had quickly developed a little crush.
Anticipation swelled inside you as the woman left the stage, you clapped distractedly as you waited to see who was next. Your eyes lit up when you saw that it was him.
He set up on the stage, smiling out at the audience. Rather than introducing himself he immediately started playing. You were hooked, hypnotised from the very first note. As you always were. You swore that he was singing to you, it looked like his eyes were meeting yours but you were well aware you were probably fantasising and he was looking at some point on the wall behind him.
It didn’t matter anyway. All you saw was him and the the strings of his guitar that he expertly played with those skilled fingers. He was so attractive, made even more so as the emotion of his voice touched you deeply.
Those sweet notes caressing your ear as if he they were made for you. Serenading you and only you.
When he finished his set, happily oblivious as his eyes had widened at the arrival of people he recognised meaning that he had to drag his eyes away from you. As your heart still fluttering to the tune of his song, there he was. Alone and packing up his guitar. This was your chance.
You had spoken to him once, you had both picked up each other’s orders at the counter and had to swap them back. He had opened his mouth as if to say something more before he left but shook his head and hurried away before he had chance. He had wanted to ask if you would give him your number or meet perhaps one evening but he realised he shouldn’t have even stopped to order his drink. There was something of a time-sensitive emergency that he couldn’t possibly explain to you so rather than dragging you into his often dangerous and plain annoying world, he left you watching him leave.
You wished you had said something. Anything would have done. But you had clammed up, your gaze fixed on the floor rather than lingering on him in the way you wished you had. You wished you had traced every feature, memorised every inch and committed it to your mind forever.
That was okay though, because today could be that day. Today you would at least tell him how much you loved his music. If nothing else.You walked up slowly, not realising that the small group of young people that had arrived during the performance were there for him. To be honest, you wouldn’t have been surprised to discover that the entire crowd was only there to watch him. It was why you found yourself never missing the first weekend of the month anyway.
“Uh, hi…” You cleared your throat, he didn’t seem to hear you as he packed his guitar away, “Hello?”
“Yes, yes, can I help you?” He turned and saw that it was you and wished to God his words hadn’t sounded so dismissive. You took a subconscious step back from him and your eyes immediately dropped to the floor. You had always been this way, reserved and struggling to express yourself. You shut off when you thought that someone might laugh or reject you in some way.
The truth was, he liked you. Hadn’t stopped thinking about you since that time with the mixed up coffee cups. There just had never been the right moment, much like right now there was always some demon in the way.
His smile warmed you when you glanced briefly back at his face, he appeared more friendly now that he realised who was speaking to him. He was still somewhat distracted, he kept glancing behind you at the kids that were gesturing wildly and acting out a very amateur interpretation of what they had just been facing in the haunted house.
You were so nervous, you didn’t want to be this nervous about this. You wished you were confident and suave and could convince him to drop any plans he may have had for the rest of the evening and spend his time with you alone. But you were determined at least. You weren’t going to walk away without saying anything, not this time. A promise was a promise and even though it was only with yourself, you decided that it needed to be honoured. Or you would forever be torturing yourself with what ifs.
Your palms were sweaty, you quickly tried to dry them on the material of your clothing as you took a deep, deep breath. Your knees became weak and time began to slow but your heart rate quickened. He smelled so good and you looked down before resolving yourself and raising your eyeline to the back of his head where he was leaning over to pack up his stuff.
“I wanted to know if…” You had a tendency to mumble your words but today they had just evaded you all together. Trailed off into nothing. You couldn’t hide your disappointment in yourself and his distracted nature as he continued to hurriedly pack away his guitar.
“I hope my haste hasn’t made you believe that I’m not interested in speaking with you. It’s in fact quite the opposite these young people are in some sort of peril that I now have to attempt to fix most likely before sunrise” he muttered, gesturing to the group that still appeared somewhat shellshocked at even the idea that the man would spend his evening singing in this way.
“Are, uh, they family?” You looked at them, wondering if you had completely made a fool of yourself and these potential children of his would momentarily part and allow his spouse to walk towards to and embarrass you in front of the small crowd.
“I suppose in a way. Not by blood but they do rely on me to a certain extent”
“That’s really sweet…” You said softly, feeling a heat rising in your cheeks as you said it. If he had caught it, he was a gentleman and didn’t comment.
“Uh, if there’s anything that you need help with…” You let your offer hang in the air and he looked up from what he was doing to smile at you faintly. He had a good feeling about you, but alas he couldn’t leave the group waiting any longer. They appeared concerned.
“These aren’t the usual teenage tribulations, I’m afraid. They are more… demonic in nature. Is this something you have any experience in?” He asked you this hopefully and it made you wish more than anything in the world that you were some rogue demon hunter but the truth was, you were so shy that you avoided a lot of the human population never mind the demon population who were much harder to stumble across, say, doing your grocery shopping.
“Well, no b-but my, uh, cousin knew a demon once…” you realised just how stupid you sounded only after the sentence left your mouth. You did, of course, know demons and vampires existed. You weren’t unaware, you were just shy and hadn’t actually ever faced one before.
“Giles! We gotta encounter of the dead kind over here” the group finally interrupted.
“We need to make with the books and the, uh, more books…”
“I apologise, I really must go”
“It was nice to-” You started but, you had blinked and he had already disappeared with the group of teenagers. You sighed, cursing yourself as you started to leave the coffee shop.
You decided to walk the long way home. You enjoyed walking at night. It was a wonder really, living in Sunnydale and being partial to a late night walk that you had never once crossed paths with a vampire. Perhaps you were just lucky.
You kicked a rock sullenly as you wished you had offered to help or just gave him your number or actually done something to show your interest. It just never seemed to be the right time.
Before you knew it you had been walking in circles, wrapped up in your own regret. Your eyes hadn’t moved from the pavement and that was how you had managed to turn the corner and bump straight into him again. And his group of younger friends.
“It’s, Y/n, isn’t it? We appear to keep meeting at the wrong times” He joked, referencing the coffee incident and now, the life or death situation. Easily comparable, of course.
He knew your name. Perhaps it was a potential concussion from knocking into him but you were in a daze at the fact that he had spoken your name. Your name on such heavenly lips. You smiled softly as he introduced himself, though hurriedly, as Giles had a Slayer to save.
You had caught them coming back from meeting Genevieve Holt. Who had ran the frat house when it had been a children’s home. Now, it was just haunted by poltergeists and drunken regrets. Seemingly, because she had punished them for sexual thoughts, the lust brought in by the Slayer and her boyfriend had ignited something and the repressed energy in the house was now releasing.
“Do you know how to help two people compelled to have lots of sex?” One of the very blunt teenagers asked. You later found out she was over a thousand years old.
“Maybe give them a condom, I don’t know” You shrugged, looking a little embarrassed when you realised you had said that out loud. But by the amused looks on their faces you needn’t have been embarrassed.
“They are feeding the energy of once repressed spectres which now haunt the house. The, ah, sex acts as a sort of battery that will inevitably run out. Thus, ending the lives of the two at the centre” Giles explained. Which left the group silent again for a moment as they thought of the potential that their friends may die.
“Oh then maybe a spell or some kind of exorcism…” you said, your face thankfully not betraying how absurd you felt in this sudden situation.
Your usual shy nature had been pushed down, you wanted to help. So you tried your very best to muster up all of the confidence that you possessed.
The discussion became urgent as you followed the others to Giles’ home. You didn’t catch the glint in his eye as he saw that you were joining them. You couldn’t very well just tell them to have a good evening and that you hoped that their friends didn’t die in some sex related haunting now could you? Giles muttered something about a book that he needed to help you all summon the poltergeists and try and make it so that this Buffy and Riley they spoke about had a chance at survival.
“You want the Salem Codex, it has a better translation” You said suddenly and Giles nodded, reaching for the exact book you had just mentioned.
“Check out walking encyclopaedia here”
“I thought you said that you had no experience with demons?”
“I don’t, I’m just well-read” You shrugged again, but Giles’ eyes hadn’t left your form. He was in awe of you. You had a lot of downtime and you liked reading, what can you say? You had been gifted a lot of books on magic by your cousin’s ex. The demon you had never actually met. Doyle or something.
He was growing to enjoy your company, even the brief moments you had spent with him here. Your love of knowledge, the way that you were so calm even under the pressure of trying to save someone’s life. Even though you had always appeared shy before. And you had thrown yourself into helping without even considering backing away. You were a good person.
But he had to quickly snap himself out of it so that he could find the correct spell. While he did so and Tara and Willow joined you to summon the ghosts that haunted Lowell house, Xander and Anya went to go and try and save their friends.
You had always been a little nervous about trying spells. Of course you thought it was cool and you didn’t doubt the existence of it. You were just a little cautious.
You joined them, reciting the words and standing close to Giles. You tried very hard not to be distracted by the proximity, this was very important after all. You settled by just stealing a few side glances as he set up the table you were all stood around.
Tara and Willow looked at each other as they sensed the power that you had added to the circle. Nobody mentioned anything, you all kept on task. You gasped when the ghosts appeared, it was unlike anything you had ever seen. You felt it, their lives, their pain.
The witches tried to speak to the ghosts, to reason with them. However, before the exorcism could be finished the table in the centre of the room was thrown across the room and the children had disappeared just as quickly as they had arrived. You just hoped that it would be enough.
After some pacing and waiting to find out if you had given Xander and Anya enough time to reach their friends. You eventually received a call to say that Buffy and Riley were safe but wholly ungrateful for everything you had all done to help them.
Giles smiled at you, he had been observing you closely as you waited. You were incredibly attractive and clearly more powerful than even you realised. As you left the two women and Giles invited tyou to his house, with the red haired one giving him a meaningful look, you started to realise what had just happened.
You had done magic! You had actually helped save someone’s life! It was exhilarating and scary and so many things all rolled into one. Especially as by this portion of the night you would usually have been long since curled up with a book.
“That was probably one of the strangest nights of my life” You admitted once you were sat in his living room with a warm drink in hand. His fingers had lingered on the cup as he passed it to you, grazing yours. It was like electricity sparking between you.
“It was one of the milder perils in this town” He commented, shaking his head and smiling in that way that brightened up his entire face. You were trying your very best not to just stare at him and make him uncomfortable. But it was so hard, he was so fucking good looking.
There was a short silence, where Giles was debating whether to ask if you would like to see him again. You were everything he had ever wanted. And more. He envisioned spending a lot of time with you in his future. However, you had been filling up with all the unsaid things that you had wanted to tell him. And they all finally exploded from your mouth as you beat him to it.
“I- I really like you and I was thinking that perhaps we could go and get a drink together, not that this drink isn’t nice it’s fine – great! It’s really great it’s actually my favourite but I was thinking that perhaps we could actually go out and maybe not a date if you aren’t into that sort of thing but I would just really, really like to get to know you and it would be so good to-”
You hadn’t stopped for a breath but you had been quickly cut off by the man you were attempting to invite on a date as he pressed his lips to yours. He had smiled at your words, you could feel it in his kiss. You reached for him, deepening the kiss and trying to figure out if you were dreaming or not. His cologne enveloped you as you ran a hand through his hair, lips moving against his in such deep and unwavering display of affection. It was as if you were made for each other. It just felt so right.
You tried not to think about the whining noise you made when he slowly pulled back from the kiss, allowing you to take a much needed breath. He leaned against you, humour still in his eyes at your outburst. His eyes closed slowly, as if he were saving this image to memory before he moved to your ear.
“I hope you don’t think me too forward, I have wanted to kiss you since the moment my eyes met yours in the crowd six months ago” He whispered in your ear, then pressed a kiss against your cheek.
You were speechless, unable to explain anything or remember even what your name was, you just reached for him again. Showing him how much you appreciated his ‘forwardness’ by initiating another kiss.

B. Summers They/Them
Send me an ask with a title that intrigues you from my list of wip's and I'll tell you something about it or post a snippet from it.
So, this fic!! This one was WAY in the back of my drafts. I know I've only posted two trans Buffy fics so far, but I have a gazillion more in draft and/or idea form haha, but I often play with the concept of gender + self-discovery/realization fics OR Buffy already has come out as trans and everyone who needs to know already knows fics.
I also have a bunch of Buffy and Giles gender conversation fics (I love that you picked a Buffy and Giles fic completely at random btw!!!) but those fics tend to be post-Chosen Buffy coming out to everyone including Giles, or early seasons when Buffy is most desperate for that dad approval. So in these fics, they already have some sort of established relationship, and Buffy is worried coming out will potentially endanger relationships.
This fic idea was formulated out of an idea to subvert my usual. It's a rewrite of Buffy and Giles' very first conversation(s). Buffy arrives in Sunnydale already knowing EXACTLY who they are and not only are they angry that there is another watcher waiting here for them and all of the reasons they're angry in canon, but they're already pre-angry about all of the gender bullshit Merrick heaped onto them. They have no desire to so much as interact with someone who insists that the slayers are always girls. Buffy is Not A Girl.
Here's the thing about this fic. I think I mentioned to you once that I was playing around with the idea of trans Buffy fics but I was too afraid to post any of my ideas for a while. This fic is dated as last being worked on in August 2022... Unlike some of my other ideas, I didn't leave an outline for myself so I have NO IDEA where I was going with this fic. Was it just the one conversation? A rewrite of the entire first two episodes? Did I want to go further than that and explore future character interactions in this universe (probably with time skips because I don't think this would change all that much)??? Again, NO CLUE.
If this interests you at all, lemme know and maybe someday I'll pull it back out and see if I can salvage it into something worth posting! Otherwise it may die a slow ignored death in my drafts folder because...no idea where I was going with this fic haha
(Also, the entire reason it's called B. Summers is because sometimes I like to keep trans Buffy's name the same and other times I like to play around with the concept that they might change it, and what would they change it to? Despite the huge wealth of names out there, I am weirdly attached to the "B" ones, even though there aren't that many I like. So Buffy is B. in my drafts until I decide whether they'll be Bly or Blaire or Blake or just stay B. I have a name I do like, but I'm not sharing it here since it's the name I've chosen for another WIP haha)
#buffy summers#rupert giles#buffy x giles#btvs#ask game#thank you for the ask!!#that was way more than i meant to write haha apparently i had a lot of thoughts about this one#trans buffy#i hope you enjoyed this!!#honestly i might have to post this one i convinced myself i like the concept#or reminded myself i guess haha#i was convinced enough to write it down at some point#i think it needs a lot of work though

Buffy tries to make sense of Giles' feelings after returning from LA. Tag to Season 3.
It was a fun exercise. Wouldn't class it as 100% ship oriented, but maybe there's a hint or two (I hope 😂).

“They’re sending in the new Watcher soon,” Rupert murmured. He was sitting on the couch in front of you. You could only see the back of his head but you could tell what kind of look he had on his face. Contempt, annoyance, some disappointment lacing his features. He had a glass in his hand, his arm over the back of the couch. He glanced back at you in the kitchen. “I fear I might be a tad unbearable for the next couple of days.”
“You’re always unbearable,” you quipped, grabbing your own glass as you finished pouring it. “That's what I like about you.”
You knew Giles was extremely worried about Buffy’s new Watcher. It had been the topic of conversation ever since Buffy’s test. It had also been a general point of contention; how could he let her go through that? Though now that he was being punished through various other means, you laid off on the argument.
“Do you know who it is?”
“No. They won’t tell me. Fear of my reproach I imagine.” He shook his head a bit. “I can’t believe they’re allowing someone else to come in after Gwendolyn Post.” You stayed silent. It was better to let him just talk through this himself, without any kind of argument or solace from you. “Buffy will never trust someone as she trusts me. Trusted me that is, I suppose. I never should have gone through with it. No, don’t say anything. I’m just conceding to your earlier point, I know.” You rolled your eyes.
“Relax. The Watcher won’t be here tonight…” you put your hand on his arm. “So let’s not talk about him hm?”
“You’re being suggestive. Is it because I conceded to your point?”
“One of the various reasons,” you explained. “Relax Rupert. I have no ulterior motives, I’m not a vampire, I’m not possessed. I’m just a girl in your house with some light alcoholic suggestion.” He nodded slowly.
“You know, I don’t need that much convincing.”
“I know.” You grabbed his drink and put it down on the coffee table. He admired you with an eyebrow raised until your phone rang. You groaned, picking it up beside the drinks. “It’s Buffy.” He let out a soft sigh.
“Duty calls.”
“Hey, it’s my phone. Maybe she just wants to gossip.”
“Moments like these I remember we’re from slightly different generations.” You rolled your eyes and answered the phone.
“12 years is not that many years. Hey Buffy.”
“Arguing about your age difference again?” she said over the phone.
“Always. Ever the straight.” You kicked your legs up onto his lap. He grabbed his glass back from the table and took a drink.
“I have said you have odd taste in men right?”
“Once or twice. What can I do for you?”
“Was gonna ask if you want to go to the Bronze with Willow and I before patrol. I fear this will be my last night Watcherless.”
“Does she know I can hear her?” Giles questioned. You shrugged.
“I would love to come but I think I’ve got my hands full over here. Men's feelings are hard.”
“Tell me about it,” Buffy muttered. You could almost see her rolling her eyes over the neverending Angel ordeal.
“You should go,” Giles said. “I’ll be fine.”
“I made plans I don’t like to break,” you pouted. “Rain check Buff?”
“Sure thing.”
“Have fun.”
“I would say you too but that brings awful images to my brain.”

You came into school a little bit late. You were working as library assistant, at Snyder’s hope to keep Giles the least destructive as possible. Giles woke up ungodly early and usually had several cups of coffee before you even saw him.
You pushed open the doors to the library, holding your bag to your side. You slowed at the sight of a man you didn’t recognize by the check out desk. Your eyebrows furrowed as you tried to place the suit. Familiar, but foreign. The man turned around, revealing some glasses and an even looking face.
“Good morning,” he said, just as evenly.
“Good morning…” You craned your neck to look behind him, wondering if you had suddenly entered a world with a different librarian.
“Are you here for the librarian? He’s out at the moment.” He stumbled over his words a bit, making you unsure of his dedication to the sentence.
“Who are you?” He cleared his throat.
“Wesley Wyndam-Pryce.” He offered his hand. You shook it, warily.
“Wesley Wy-” You paused and thinned your lips. Maybe it was the British accent that gave him away or maybe it was the suit. “Are you the new Watcher?” His eyebrows raised.
“I take it you know about the slayer” You shook your head.
“Just a tad. I swear I’m not a threat, just a friend. Y/N.” He nodded once, looking you over.
“What kind of friend?” You scoffed a bit.
“You Watcher’s have a type,” you observed.
“Hm?”
“Where’s Rupert?”
“Out.”
“What was it? Westley?”
“Wesley. Wyndam-Pryce.” You nodded, pointing a finger at him. He smiled shakily, looking down. You opened your mouth to speak when the door opened again.
“Oh man. You’ve met the new Watcher,” Buffy observed. Wesley straightened up and cleared his throat. “Getting along?”
“Well,” he observed. Buffy raised an eyebrow at his stiffness and then glanced back at you. “I wonder if the Watcher’s have a book that says what kind of girl they’re allowed to go for. Maybe Giles just stuck a picture of you somewhere and this guy read it wrong.” You rolled your eyes.
“Do you know where Rupert is?”
“Nope. He’s not my Watcher anymore, remember?” she said, defeated. She passed you further into the room. You put a hand up in defeat.
“He could be dying and none of us would know.”
“I’m sure he’s alright,” Wesley promised. “Are you and Rupert…”
“Yeah,” you said curtly. As if on cue, Giles walked into the room, holding a stack of books, looking completely in his natural habitat. “Thank God. Giles.” He halted when he caught sight of the two of you.
“You met the replacement.”
“I did. He’s a little stiff.” You squeezed his bicep. He watched you do it. “I was looking for you.”
“Is everything alright?” He put the books down on the counter. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. Just wasn’t sure where you had run off to and I like keeping tabs.”
“That’s unhealthy,” Buffy noted.
“Your boyfriend is dead,” Giles retorted. She shrugged with a point taken look on her face. You turned back to him. Wesley gave a once over at the two of you. Giles had put a hand on your upper arm, a gesture that was familiar to the two of you. You took the top book off his stack.
“Whatcha reading?”
“You’re miraculously calm.”
“One of us has to be.” You took the book and walked over to sit beside Buffy. She was eyeing the new Watcher intensely, like the whole world could come down at her mere gaze. Knowing her, you wouldn’t be surprised.
“He’s gonna say something stupid,” she muttered.
“Hm?” you asked. Wesley was looking at Giles.
“Don’t you think she’s a bit on the younger side for you?”
Silence went over the room as the words seemed to hang in the air. Giles stared bullets into his former colleague.
“I don’t think that’s any of your concern,” he said coldly.
“She looks closer to the slayer's age. My age. I have every right to ask, as a proceeding member of the council and part of the investigation towards your extermination.” Giles took a step forward, too close. You were suddenly reminded of the ‘not so booksmart’ person he used to be, the one who would throw a punch before working with words. You stood back up.
“Keep her out of your mouth or so help m-”
“Alright,” you intervened. You stepped between the two of them. “I’m only 12 years younger but you flatter me. Giles, a moment?” You grabbed Rupert’s arm, gently pulling him in the direction towards his office. It took him a moment, not wanting to digress from the standoff. Eventually he followed.
“Don’t leave me here all by my lonesome with this guy,” Buffy pleaded.
“Vetoing your contribution here slayer,” you called back. She let out a huff, returning to staring bullets. You shut the office door gently behind you.
“That’s a tad dramatic,” he pointed out. “I’m fine.”
“I’m not going to put words in your mouth but I’m allowed to observe, yeah?” He pursed his lips, shoving his hands in my pockets. You nodded. “Other Watcher, bad. Wiles Westley Watchamacalllhim is making you, Rupert Giles, sad. You want Buffy to remain under your watch, lack of better word, and this new man is now stepping all over your toes in that regard. Observations correct?”
“Generally.”
“What am I missing?” He shook his head.
“It’s not important. Move on with your speal please.”
“Buffy won’t trust this man the way she trusts you. She never could, you have too much history. You have the upper hand here, despite the council not backing you up. He’ll never be half the Watcher you are,” you promised. You grabbed his hand. “Speal over.”
He nodded gently, rubbing the bridge of his nose.
“You do have a way with words.” You laughed gently, shaking your head.
“I’ll try to be more Bronte later.” He squeezed your intertwined hands, a defeated smile on his lips.
There was a knock on the office door. You rolled your eyes and released his hand. You swung open the door to meet Wesley on the other side.
“I have to speak to Mr. Giles.”
“He’s all yours Wes.” You patted his chest as you walked past, back to Buffy.
-
As the day wound down and everyone started home, you were stuck in the library still. You loved the place but the more you spent in it with two Watchers, the more you were starting to see its lesser qualities. Giles had followed Buffy and Faith out to have a generally mentor-like talk.
Leaving you alone with Wesley.
“So you know of Buffy because of Giles?” he questioned. You raised your head from the book you were reading. You had hardly noticed him watching you. He had a cup of coffee in his hand, standing disgustingly straight. You sat on the steps.
“I was assistant librarian. Almost died by vampire. Happens to the best of us.”
“He fraternized with a colleague?”
“Continues to do so. Don’t look so jealous, Wes.” You put the book to your chest. “You’re ruining the perfect balance of the scooby gang you know.”
“Perhaps it needed to be out of kilter. I don’t see it going swimmingly right now.” He walked over to you. You looked up at him, observing his very even stature. You wondered, not for the first time, if Giles looked like this when he was a little younger. “What are you reading?”
“Rereading.” You glanced at the book. “Wuthering Heights.”
“Classic.”
“Yes sir. One of my favorites. Helps me forget about the neverending impending doom,” you muttered. He looked awkward for a moment and then sat down beside you on the steps. You raised an eyebrow.
“I’ve always enjoyed a bit of light fiction reading.” You opened your mouth to speak, reading the signals he was not so eloquently putting off. You were interrupted by the library door opening.
Giles slowed his walking speed at the sight of you. Wesley stood up, embarrassed. You gave Rupert wide eyes, a gentle I don’t know sign.
“Go do Watcher duties won’t you? The girls need someone to watch them before patrol.” Wesley wanted to argue but noted the look in Rupert’s eyes and decided against it. He gave you a nod and then passed him to leave the room.
You were alone with Rupert. Finally.
“Wuthering Heights?” he asked gently. You nodded, a small smile on your face.
“Am I so predictable?”
“You’re a classic.”
You leaned against the railing, watching him with admiration in your eyes. There was something special about emotions fluttering around the room, knowing there was something to be said and something understood. You softly patted the stairs beside you. He walked over, sitting down without a word.
“You know what I’m going to say,” he breathed. You grabbed his hand, staring down at it as you traced the lines of his palm.
“Wesley will never be you.”
“Are you speaking for Buffy or…or for you.”
“For me.” You wanted to argue aggressively, assure him that whatever he was thinking was wrong. You felt the opposite, you would never love someone like you loved him. That Wesley, no matter the difference in your ages, it would always be Giles. That the age truly wasn’t even that big of a deal. You were consenting adults with fully formed frontal lobes.
Instead you leaned down to him and put your chin on his shoulder.
“I love you,” you whispered. He did a double take with his eyes, not moving his head so as to not disturb you. You hadn’t said that yet. “You don’t have to say anything-”
“I love you too.”
You smiled brightly. You kissed his shoulder and then sat up all the way.
“Can you read to me?” He glanced up at you, wondering how you had moved on so quickly.
“Hm?”
“I just like to listen to you talk Rupert,” you murmured. You handed him your book and slid down the stairs so you were sitting beside each other. He cleared his throat curiously. “One second. I’m gonna go grab one of your sweaters from the office, I like to get cozy. You got any blankets in there Rupert?” You got up and walked away. He smiled to himself.
“Under the desk.”
“Ah ha!” you peeked around the corner. You emerged wearing one of his gray knitted sweaters. “I love that you have blankets in your office. Hm. I love you I think.”
“Oh?” You shrugged.
“Yes sir.”
You sat beside him again and put a blanket over his lap.
“Go on. Heathcliff won’t read himself.”
When Wesley returned he glanced through the door window before walking in. Your head rested on Giles’s, eyes closed in content. You looked rather cozy on that step. Giles kept reading, even as you presumably slept.
Wesley turned back to bother Buffy some more.

”Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.”
Rupert Giles x Witch! Younger! Reader
You and the Scoobies try to have a normal Thanksgiving. Try, anyway.
[ w — age gap (20+ years), older man/younger woman, injured! reader, assumed unrequited love, short story, tv show-compliant only, slight canon divergence ]
— divider cred: @/inklore
Living above the Hellmouth meant that nothing would ever be normal. No holidays, no birthdays would ever be like the average person’s.
Thanksgiving and Christmas was the same. Monsters and creatures of the dark never took days off, not with their insatiable need to be evil.
Buffy sighed as she staked what was probably the 20th vampire of the night. Thanksgiving was a time to sit down with friends and family, having a lovely, large dinner and being thankful for the people in your life and the things you had.
But not for the Scoobies.
You huffed, rolling your sore shoulder. A vampire had taken a good chunk out of of your neck, but the second he tasted your blood, he instantly revolted, and you took a stake to his heart.
“You good?” Buffy asks, eyeballing your shoulder.
“Yeah.” But you hiss a little as pain flares through it. “It’s just gonna take a minute to heal. I’ll put some bandaids on it when we get back.”
Buffy cheerily and knowingly chips in a, “I’m sure Giles would disapprove.” That prompts you to give her a deadpan look.
“You know that he doesn’t like me like that,” you reply. You shove your hands into your pockets. “It’s a one-way street. Can we talk about something else?”
She shrugs. “Sure.”
The two of you walked side by side out of the graveyard. Buffy sighs, tilting her head down.
“I really wish Christmas could be normal,” she admits. “I miss it, from when I was a kid. It’s so much different from now.”
“Not as involved with monsters, you mean?” you say, and Buffy nods in confirmation. “Yeah, me too. I feel so… apathetic about it anymore. It doesn’t feel as important, as fun as it used to be.”
“Cons of being apart of the supernatural world,” she adds.
“Truly.” You laugh. “Not to mention—” A scream rips from your throat. Cold heat washes through you and up your spine, all the way up to your skull. Your head jolts back at the pain, and the cold heat leaves as the wooden stake leaves your body, now replaced by odd, liquid warmth.
Oh, you’re bleeding. Bleeding out, perhaps.
You heard the slaps and thuds of fighting as you fall to the ground. You try to have some semblance of control as you collapse in pain, but it doesn’t work. You bump your head into a headstone and more liquid oozes down your skin.
You hear the familiar hissing sound of dust. Buffy’s won. Now you see her over you, terror and fear written all over her features.
“[Name]? [Name]? You with me?”
You gulp, attempting to focus and swallow down the pain. “Kinda,” you hiss.
“Healing magic? Can it fix this?” she inquires hurriedly.
“Probably,” you reply, becoming more and more breathless.
“I’m gonna put pressure on it, okay? The second you feel any sort of clarity, start chanting.”
You let out a loud cry of pain, more blood coming out and staining your shirt. The pain signals the adrenaline in your body. It takes you a couple seconds longer than what you hope before you start chanting in Latin.
It feels strange, your body stitching itself back together. The strange feeling of blood coming out of your body disappears. You huff, the chant ending a minute later. Buffy takes her hands off the wound and you watch her examine it.
“How’s it look?”
“Looks good, head wound is gone, too,” she says. “But we need to get you back to the Magic Box. Giles and Willow might have something they can help you brew up to get you fully healed.”
You lean up using your elbows and hands. You take Buffy’s hand and let out groan of pain as you get to your feet. You two walk out of the graveyard and head to the Magic Box. You thank God it’s dark and no one can see you and your best friend walk through the streets of Sunnydale with her holding you up.
The Magic Box comes into sight not ten minutes later. Buffy uses her key to open the door, but neither of you expect to see the floor of the Magic Box completely cleared out, with a large, decorated table filled to the brim with food and drinks.
Xander is the first to turn his head up and see you and Buffy.
“Happy Thanksgiving, you guys!” he says.
“Happy Thanksgiving, Xander,” you speak breathlessly. And that’s when he knows something is wrong. His eyes trail down to your bloodied shirt and widen drastically.
“Oh, crap.”
“Oh, crap is right.” Buffy sets you down in one of the nearest chairs. “Get the others and tell them [Name] needs a healing potion… or some sort of healing magic. The wound isn’t as bad as it looks, but she needs help crossing the finish line.”
“On it.”
Xander heads to the back to get the others, who come rushing in not a moment after he gets them.
Unfortunately for you, all you can focus on through one eye (the other squinted in pain) is Giles, and the look of worry and concern on his face.
“She’s very pale,” Giles says. His voice is clearly worried. It almost seems borderline… terrified?
“Blood loss,” you say in a shakily exhale. “Healed, yes. Blood back inside the body? Not so much.”
“Can you do anything, Giles?” Buffy asks.
“Let me see the wound and we’ll see.”
You raise your shirt, showing off the nasty scar. It’s not fully healed, maybe three-quarters. You look away, eyes meeting Buffy’s, who’s expression is borderline teasing and full of amusement. You roll yours in return.
“Nothing out of my capabilities I can’t heal,” Giles says. He looks up at you and adds, “But I do have to touch it to heal it.”
You shake your head. “It’s fine.” The second Giles places his hand on the injury though, a large wave of nausea makes you shudder and groan.
“She looks like she needs a trash can,” Xander pipes.
“I’ll get one,” Anya offers, disappearing behind the counter momentarily to grab one. She places it next to you and you thank her.
Giles’ warm hand leaves your lower torso. The wound is completely healed, although you still feel faint from the blood loss. He looks at you again, scanning over your sick expression.
“I’ll be fine in a bit,” you tell, a smile appearing on your face. “I think some food in my stomach would do me some good. Thank you, Giles.”
“You are most welcome,” he replies, standing. “And I think you are absolutely correct. Shall we eat?”
Buffy nods and speaks for everyone’s hungry stomachs. “We shall.”
Dawn sits between you and Buffy. Xander, Anya, and Dawn are on the other side of the table. At the head of the table, between Xander and Buffy, is Giles. Just like a father should be, you think, humored.
“So… What happened? How’d you get such a wound?” Willow asks.
You and Buffy answer in unison: “Vampires.”
“Thought we were done and one caught us by surprise with one of the stakes,” Buffy explains. “[Name] used her magic, but she couldn’t heal it all the way.”
“Glad you both made it back,” Xander said happily. “This Thanksgiving dinner we put together would’ve been a total bust.”
Everyone laughs in agreement and digs into the food. Unknowingly to you, Giles can barely keep his eyes off of you, only looking away to take a bite of food off of his plate. Though he does try to it make it obvious.
Indeed, he’s glad you made it back. He’s glad he’s able to heal your injuries. Life would certainly be a lot more dull without you around.
But as Anya hands you the gravy, you catch Giles staring at you out of your peripheral vision. There’s a look on his face, one you know well, because it’s the same one Spike gives Buffy when she’s not looking.
You smile and raise your glass in a toast. “Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.”
Everyone raises their glass cheerily, downing a swig.
You thank this Thanksgiving for giving you hope. Even if it doesn’t last.

Accidental Slumber
Summary: After a long night of researching, you and Giles fall asleep in the library.
Pairing: Rupert Giles x Fem!Reader
Warning(s): cuteness overload, friends to lovers type sitch, cuddling, idiots in love, mutual pining, lemme know if I forgot anything
I do not own this image...credit to the original creator
The library was dimly lit, and the musty smell of ancient books filled the air. You and Giles had been researching late into the night, delving into the mysteries of an obscure demon. Exhaustion had finally caught up with both of you, and without realising it, you had drifted off to sleep.
As the sun began to rise, soft rays of light peeked through the library windows. The first sounds of footsteps echoed through the hallways, indicating the arrival of the Scooby Gang. Buffy, Willow, and Xander made their way to the library, eager to share their newfound discoveries with their mentor and the newest member of their team, you.
However, the sight that greeted them was unexpected. Their jaws dropped as they saw Giles and you, entwined in each other's arms, fast asleep on the library table. The tension in the air was palpable as they exchanged perplexed glances.
Buffy cleared her throat, breaking the silence. "Um, guys? Maybe we should give them a minute." Her tone was playful, but her eyes sparkled mischievously.
Giles, as if sensing the disturbance, pulled you closer into him; pressing a kiss to the top of your head. Willow's cheeks flushed a deep shade of crimson. "Oh, yes, definitely. We can...wait outside or something."
Xander scratched the back of his head nervously. "Yeah, no problem. We'll just... be over there, pretending not to see anything." He gestured toward the bookshelves and quickly herded the others away.
Slowly, the two of you began to stir, disturbed by the hushed voices and nervous shuffling. Groggy eyes fluttered open, meeting each other in a mix of surprise and embarrassment.
"Good morning," Giles murmured, his voice thick with sleep.
You stifled a yawn, feeling a blush creep up your neck. "Morning. Did we... fall asleep here?"
Giles chuckled, his British accent adding a touch of warmth to the moment. "It appears so. Research can be quite exhausting, it seems."
As you began to sit up, Giles' arm instinctively tightened around you. His touch was gentle yet possessive, as if he never wanted to let you go. You glanced down, noticing the affectionate gesture, and couldn't help but smile.
The library doors creaked open, and the Scooby Gang tiptoed back inside, albeit less discreetly than they intended. Buffy, Willow, and Xander tried their best to hide their amusement, failing miserably.
Buffy broke the silence once more. "Well, you two sure know how to have a slumber party without inviting the rest of us."
Willow nodded, grinning ear to ear. "Yeah, we thought we'd come and join in on the cuddle-fest."
Xander nudged Buffy, his eyes gleaming with mischief. "And I even brought the popcorn, just in case."
You felt your face heat up, and Giles' cheeks tinged with a blush that matched your own. It was clear that the Scoobies were delighted to witness this unexpected moment of vulnerability between you and Giles.
Giles finally released his hold on you, running a hand through his tousled hair as he straightened himself. "Well, um... it seems we may have dozed off accidentally."
Buffy grinned playfully. "No judgment here, Giles. We just wanted to make sure you two lovebirds didn't miss out on anything important."
Willow joined in the teasing, her eyes twinkling. "Yeah, we wouldn't want any precious research time to go to waste."
Xander added with a mock-serious expression, "And if you ever need any tips on cozying up, we're here to help."
The playful banter continued, gradually easing the awkwardness. It was clear that the Scoobies were genuinely happy for you and Giles, their friendly ribbing serving as a testament to their acceptance and support.
As the laughter subsided, Giles took your hand in his, intertwining your fingers. "Well, it seems we owe the nosy teenagers our gratitude for their invaluable research assistance."
Buffy grinned. "We'll take our payment in the form of a slightly less awkward group hug."
The suggestion was met with enthusiastic agreement, and soon the library was filled with warm embraces and lighthearted chatter.
In that moment, surrounded by your newfound family, you realised that accidental slumbers and shared vulnerabilities could bring people even closer together. And you couldn't have been happier to be a part of it all, entwined with Rupert Giles, the man who had stolen your heart.
A/N I love Giles 😍

Giles x teen!reader - you’re safe now
Could you do something where Giles finds out that R is sleeping in school because their father is abusive and he comforts them and kind of adopts them, because he saw some bruises or something like that? Maybe he even confronts R father about the bruises? If you are not comfortable with that that's totally fine! Much love! - Anon💜
TW: mentions of abusive parent
Wondering into the library, you ignored the little meeting that seemed to be going on and jogged up the steps, looking for the right shelf.
You slowly wondered among them and you stopped when you saw the shelf you were looking for and pulled out a text book.
“English…” you mumbled.
You looked at the slip of paper in your hand and you furrowed your brows a little bit and made your way back down the steps to the counter and set the book and paper down.
“Hello (Y/N), how are you?” Giles asked.
“Is this book the same as what on this paper?”
You showed Giles the paper.
“Ah… yes.. yes I would believe so. Is it for your English paper?”
You said nothing and pushed the book towards him, and he sighed slightly.
“If you need anything else you’re more then welcome to stop by.”
Giles watched as you put the book in your bag then without a word he left and went back to what he was doing.
“I don’t know why you try to talk to them, they’re not exactly the most social person out there.” Xander said.
“Well, I.. I believe a good conversation can go a long way.”
“Yeah, if you’re looking to get a snarky remark or ignored. (Y/N) doesn’t play well with people.” Buffy said.
“Well I don’t think they’re that bad, they let me borrow some books not long ago.” Willow smiled.
Giles glanced at the door where you had left and turned back to the group that were currently supposed to be on their way to class.
You spent the whole day in classes only half paying attention before the school day came to a close.
You put your bag in your locker and you left the school, going to find somewhere to pass the time.
A few hours later you returned and went back to your locker, grabbing your bag and the folded blanket at the bottom you made your way to the science labs.
They were the best place to stay since you could use the burners for a fire to warm things up and keep yourself a little warmer.
Sitting on the chair, you took a sip of the water next to you, nibbling on some chips as you read through the text book you got earlier that day.
Tapping your pen against the paper you sighed and stood up, moving so you could start tidying everything away.
Giles was making his way back to the library when he heard the sounds of somebody moving about in the room.
He stopped, furrowing his brows a little and he walked over to the partially cracked open door.
He was a little unsure, but he pushed the door open and looked inside to see you putting the burner away that you were using.
“(Y/N)?”
You jumped, spinning around to face him.
Giles walked in, setting his books on one of the tables and he looked around the room, spotting the corner you had turned into a makeshift bed.
“Wh..what is going on here?” He asked.
You walked over and began grabbing everything.
“I’ll go, just don’t tell Synder…” you grumbled.
“No! No, it’s incredibly dangerous out there with.. with.. thunder and.. and rain and lightening. Come to the library at least.”
You glanced at the man, then to the window where the rain was battering on the glass, threatening to break it.
You sighed, finished grabbing your things and nodded your head.
You didn’t want to go outside in that, and at least you had the ability to ignore him and his questions.
Walking into the library, you sat yourself down at the empty table and set your books on the floor.
“I need you to know that we Uhm.. well.. we’re going to have to talk about this (Y/N).”
You said nothing and he sighed softly.
“I’ll make you some tea, do you want something to eat?”
You gestured to the snacks you set on the table and he nodded, leaving for a moment before coming back.
He poured you a cup of tea and set it in front of you.
You reached out for your cup, and Giles looked at your arm with the deep bruises, both old and relatively new.
He thought for a moment before he spoke.
“Now I.. I know you’re not the biggest fan of the school, I can’t imagine why anybody would want to throw a sleepover in the science lab, did you get caught before the storm?”
You said nothing.
“How long have you been staying here?”
Again, you didn’t reply.
“I can give you parents a call, let them know where you are and that you’re safe.”
You snapped your head towards him.
“No!”
You set the cup down, pulling your blanket around your shoulders.
“If you tell my dad where I am I swear I will run out of those doors and never come back.” You rushed out.
Giles slowly set his own cup down.
“Alright, it’s alright. If you don’t want me to call him I won’t.”
Giles recognised the look on your face and the tone of your voice immediately as fear.
You didn’t want to be found, you didn’t want your dad to know where you were.
“Why don’t you want your father to know where you are (Y/N)?” He asked softly.
“I just don’t…” you mumbled.
You got up and you walked away from him, sitting yourself down on the stairs instead.
Giles got up and followed you, sitting next to you and he clasped his hands together as he looked at you.
“What happened to your arm?”
You pulled your arm tighter towards you.
“It’s nothing…”
Giles shook his head.
“It’s not nothing, (Y/N), if your father is hurting you then tell me, I’ll be able to help you but I can’t if you don’t let me. Please, tell me what happened.”
“Yeah so you can tell the police and they’ll give me back to him…” you mumbled.
“You’ve runaway before?”
You glanced at him before looking away.
“It’s my fault… shouldn’t have made him man…”
Giles turned so he was looking at you.
“Never blame yourself for something like this, this is not your fault (Y/N) you’re the victim here, and you have done no wrong. He is in the wrong for raising his hands to you. If you don’t want to go home that’s okay, I understand, but you can’t keep living the way you are.”
You shrugged.
“What else am I supposed to do?”
“Well.. I.. I can take you in for now, give you a safe space, then we can figure something else out after. Alright? I’ll do my best to make sure you won’t ever be taken back there.”
“Don’t make promises you can’t keep Mr Giles.”
“I can keep it, but I need to know what you want to do, I can’t make you come with me.”
You sighed, running a hand over your hair and you shrugged slightly.
“I.. I don’t know.. I’ll go back eventually… when he’s calmed down again…”
“Absolutely not.” He said sternly.
You looked to the usually calm librarian, and you shuffled away from him slightly.
His face immediately softened.
“I.. I’m sorry… I won’t hurt you I promise, all I want to do is help you, and I refuse to let you go back to a situation like that.”
Giles took his glasses off and pinched the bridge of his nose, running a hand down his face before he took a small breath, putting them back on.
“I assume that he Uhm.. he’s responsible for those bruises on your arm?”
You said nothing and that was all the clarification that he needed.
“I’m not going to let him hurt you again.”
Giles rested his arms on his legs, and he smiled at you.
“I promise nobody will ever hurt you like that again.”
He stood up and made his way to the table and he began to clean up your things, picking them all up.
“Now, we must get going before this storm gets any worse.”
He stopped and looked at you.
“It’s alright.”
You thought for a moment before getting up to follow him.
You decided you would stay with him for a few days to get him off your back, then you would go back to your usual hangouts.
In the car you didn’t say anything, and you followed Giles into his house.
“I’ll get everything sorted for you, if you’re hungry please help yourself to whatever you’d like.”
You nodded and looked around his living room, picking up a few books before putting them back.
Giles came down to find you sitting on the sofa, your blanket still wrapped around you and he walked over.
“Where would you like to sleep?”
You pointed to the couch and he set a pillow there for you, handing you another blanket.
“I’ll just be upstairs, if you need anything at all just shout, alright?”
You nodded again and he left to give you your space.
He could hear the sound of the TV downstairs, and when he went down the following morning you were sleeping in front of it, using your blanket as a pillow.
Chuckling softly, he grabbed the other blanket and walked over, crouching next to you so he could cover you up.
He paused, seeing the bruises on your arm a little better in the daylight.
He could see the bruises, the small slivers of a few scars, and he could see a healing bruise on the side of your head.
He covered you up and walked into the kitchen, covering his eyes with his hand as a shaky breath.
Yes, he had seen what demons could do to humans, but he knew those weren’t caused by a vampire or demon.
And that’s what broke his heart and brought tears to his eyes, they were the results of a monstrous human. A man who was supposed to protect you and instead hurt you.
Taking a deep breath, Giles composed himself and began making breakfast, which is what woke you up.
You stayed sitting on the floor as he brought some cereal out for you and a glass of juice.
You watched as he set it down in front of you before coming back with his own.
“Is something wrong? Do you not like it?” He asked.
You looked at your own food and picked up your bowl.
“I’m not used to someone bringing me food…”
You quickly ate your cereal, you ate it that fast Giles was scared you would choke.
And you did the same with the juice before grabbing your dishes and walking away to the kitchen.
“You don’t have to wash them, I’ll do that.”
You looked at him.
“Don’t I have to earn my keep?”
Giles set his dishes down.
“Of course not, you don’t have to do anything to ear your keep here, all you have to do is go to school and do your best, everything else I can handle.”
You nodded and stepped aside.
You weren’t used to it, and he could see that.
As the days passed you avoided the library when you were at school, but when you were at his that sturdy front you held up was gone.
You were just scared and unsure about everything, if you did something wrong you’d flinch, if you thought he was angry with you then you would avoid him.
But you were getting better.
Giles was working on finding a way for you to permanently stay in his care, so after school while students were getting ready to head home you were waiting for him.
You were walking along one of the walls, hands in your pockets.
“Please do come down, the last thing I want is for you to fall and injure yourself.” Giles said.
He held out his hand and you looked at him.
Chuckling, he raised his hands and backed away, letting out jump down.
Giles smiled, and he held out his keys.
“I’ll be there in a few moments, I’ve left something behind.”
“I’ll wait here.”
Giles nodded and you watched him leave before you went back to looking at people leave.
That’s when you saw a face you didn’t want to see then the crowd heading towards you and you slowly backed away.
“Don’t you dare run again!”
You spun around and ran inside, skidding around corners and pushing past people fully aware of the angry man chasing you.
You ran to the one place you thought off and you burst through the doors, tears in your fearful eyes.
“What’s wrong?” Giles asked.
He set his bag down and you rushed over, hiding yourself behind him, gripping his jacket tightly and the door was thrown open again.
“Cowering behind other people still?” Your dad spat.
“Can I help you?” Giles asked.
“I want my kid, where is the brat?”
Giles reached his hand behind him, placing it on your arm.
“I.. I haven’t seen them, maybe try the front.”
Giles took a step back and you did the same thing, and he tried to back you up into his office but it didn’t work.
“Get here now!”
You tensed, and you let go of Giles, going to walk around him but he took your hand, giving you a warm smile.
“Wait in my office for me.” He whispered.
“He’ll hurt you…”
“Don’t you worry about me I’ll be just fine, you go wait in there, he won’t hurt you.”
You nodded and backed yourself into the office.
“Lock the door, and call the police if you have too.”
You nodded again and locked the door, hiding under his desk, covering your ears with your hands.
Giles turned your your dad.
“Please they’ll just come back eventually.” Your dad scoffed.
“I don’t think they will, no. I sure won’t be letting them return to the likes of you.”
“What the hell does that mean?!”
“It means you have been hurting an innocent child, a child who you are supposed to love and protect and you’ve been hurting them, you’ve made them scared, left bruises and scars that’ll never go.” Giles said.
“Kids gotta learn somehow.”
“No, they don’t. I will only ask you once to leave, never return to this school or for (Y/N), from this point on they will be in my care.”
Your dad scoffed.
“Or what?”
Giles took his glasses off, setting them aside and he walked over to your dad.
“I’m taking the brat home, and they’ll be punished for running away, for being so stupid. I’ll make sure they never step foot near this stupid school again.”
Giles pulled his hand back and swung, punching your dad in the face, then he slammed him against the wall, glaring at him.
“I can make your life ten times as hard as you’ve been making it for (Y/N), I couldn’t really care less about you. I care about that teenager hiding, scared in my office.”
You dad looked up at him, pushing him away.
“Whatever take the damn brat, it’s not worth it.”
With that he left and Giles straighten his jacket before grabbing his glasses and walking over to the door to his office.
He knocked gently.
“(Y/N), it’s just me.”
He heard shuffling and the door opened.
Giles smiled softly and he stepped aside.
“It’s alright now, he’s gone and I’m certain he won’t be bothering you anymore.”
You looked into the library before looking at Giles and you rushed at him, hugging him tightly.
Giles smiled, wrapping his arms around you.
“You’re safe now..” he whispered.
You nodded your head, tears streaming from your eyes as you let go of all the fear and pain you had been bottling up inside of you.
Giles just stood there holding you, letting you cry, because he knew how much you needed to let go, how much you needed someone to hug you and remind you you’re safe

What btvs characters need in a s/o:
Request: I'm not sure if this is the sort of thing you would write but I was wondering if you'd do preferences/hc's about what you think some btvs characters would want/need in an s/o maybe with the core four + angel and spike?
Requested by: Anon
(Buffy, Willow, Xander, Giles, Angel, Spike, Cordy and Faith)
Buffy:
- She would need someone dependable
- Someone she could trust would always be there
- No questions asked
- Trust in general, someone she could be herself around
- Slayer and all
- She would need someone that could back her up
- Understand the she needed her space at times
- Just to mull things over in her head
- Contemplate her future
- And whatever big bad is in her way of a happy one with you
- But could be super affectionate when the mood strikes
Willow:
- Someone that could ground her
- She gets emotional and has an addictive personality
- So would need someone around that understood but could be there as a support
- They would need to be fun and silly
- A little goofy maybe to match her humour
- Someone interested in witchcraft isn’t required but it would be more fun for her
- She would be happy to teach small spells if they took an interest
- She would want someone that made her feel special
- Like she wasn’t alone
- Because she can feel it a lot
- When the scoobies aren’t around or they’ve fallen out
- She would need someone that wasn’t caught up in it
- That made her feel strong even without the others
Xander:
- He would definitely need someone who was good at communication
- Because he struggles with it
- So he would need to be able to lean on a s/o and learn to talk through the way he felt
- He’d need someone that can cut through the humour he can use to mask his feelings
- But also someone that knows when to have fun and just laugh
- He would need someone with a sense of humour
- That he wouldn’t have to question whether they were into him or not
- They would need to be supportive, not just when he became successful but from the beginning
- To have loved him then and later on
- He would need someone that could pull his foot out of his mouth in awkward situations too
- and cover for him/explain to him why what he said needed a bit of a rethink
Giles:
- Would need someone that he could dote on
- But could also handle themselves if it came down to it
- He worries, and so that little peace of mind is important
- He would love to have someone that he could match mind and soul with
- That he could curl up with, have meaningful debates and conversations with
- That could ground him
- Calm him, if that infamous ripper part of him started to show
- Be able to adapt to anything
- Being a watcher means being put in constant danger
- So you would have to have each other’s backs
- Always
- Share morals and beliefs but are happy to have a debate if you don’t see eye to eye
- Without being it turning into an argument
Angel:
- Would definitely need a s/o that would understand his long silences
- Someone that would be there, by his side
- That could gently encourage him to open up
- Not push him into it
- Because he always feels like a burden as it is
- He would need someone to come home to after a long night
- Slaying or working at the firm
- That he could rely on
- He’s a romantic, but it can be subtle at times
- Someone that could compliment his energy would be good
- Understand him but help him learn unlife is not all about duty
- Someone that he could have long discussions with
- dote on
- I think he would like the idea of being a ‘protector’ of a s/o
- But it would definitely make him worry if they were human
Spike:
- He would need to have someone that he could trust
- To not leave him
- Even if his jealousy or mood got the better of him
- He would have to feel incredibly secure
- Someone who could give him soft assurances
- Be there for him both physically and emotionally
- Allow him to be himself and to be themselves around him
- Comfortable and honest
- But they can’t be boring or give him a hard time constantly
- Otherwise he may lose interest
- But when he’s in love, he’s all in, all of the time
- so someone that could match this would be great
- physical affection is a must
Cordy:
- Someone that listened to her
- Without belittling or patronising
- Or writing her off as ‘some airhead’
- She had a lot of interesting and well thought out things to say
- And she would need someone that could appreciate this
- And match her energy about her interests
- Just as she would for them
- She has a lot of love to give and would need someone that likes gifts
- Giving and receiving
- Physical affection and flowers just because
- It will make her melt
- She needs someone that isn’t afraid of vulnerability
- But if they are, then they would need to be willing to work on it
Faith:
- Reassurance
- She would never ask, but it would mean the world if you gave it her
- She would need someone that was in her corner
- Even if she was the one in the wrong
- Someone that could prove to her that unconditional love exists
- Because she insists love is bullshit
- But a very small part of her hopes that one day she will be proved wrong
- She doesn’t like pda or anything like that
- But she would need someone that could be very soft and loving
- When they were alone
- Someone that could remind her that kindness and love was real
- And for her to be able to relax in their presence
- Not have to put up a front

Tea: Rupert Giles x reader
Rupert has tea with you after a long day
While I complete the requests I have, here is a fic from one of my other accounts that I thought I should post here. This been edited a little bit, too. Will delete it from my other account so it can just be on here. This is also pretty sure, but I still thinks it’s cute :)
This is for those of you who love him too :)
gif creds: @51kas81
-----
Rupert Giles loves to read. He often finds himself getting lost in the material, getting lost in the intricate workings on the page in front of him. He also loves tea, so much so that he has an assortment of tea in his kitchen. Rupert finds drinking tea is quite relaxing and he finds that when you drink tea, it relaxes you too.
It’s a Saturday and you’ve just finished browsing at the bookstore. The only bookstore that the town seems to have. Rupert is tidying up his books when he hears the door open, followed by a ‘Rupert, i’m home’ and then the sound of the door closing shortly after.
“Darling."
The Englishman pauses what he’s doing momentarily and turns his body in your direction. His eyes fall on you and when you see him, you find yourself smiling.
“…how was the bookstore?”
He walks over to you and stops, soon leaning down and pressing a soft kiss to your head.
“…find anything good?”
“Not really…”, your eyes leave your husband momentarily, and over to the bookcase.
“…but how goes the sorting?”
Some of the books are neatly placed in the bookcase, while others are on the table. Not many though. You look back at Rupert;
“I’m nearly done…”
“Have you had a break?”
Sorting books- sorting anything in general- for a long period of time can be hard on your body. You know because you spent hours one time sorting through books you were going to keep, and books you were going to donate.
“…I, uh, well…”
Rupert brings a hand up to adjust his glasses.
“…no, not- not really.”
“Well now seems like the perfect time love.”
Rupert is about to disagree when you are already walking over to the section of the kitchen that tea is made. You pull out two cups from the cupboard and place them on the counter, putting the necessary items into it such as the teabag, sugar, etc
“…sit and i’ll bring your tea over to you.”
He sighs but realises that you’re right. You always do know what to do to get him to take a break. So he sits down on the couch, his hands folding to rest in his lap. His eyes stay on your however, a smile resting on his lips as he admires you from afar.
You finish making the tea, and then you pick up the cups and walk over to Rupert who makes you smile without even doing so himself.
“…here you go…”
“It’s perfect, as always.”
“I’m glad.”

“I don’t know, maybe you should both come out to the college and look?”
Buffy’s voice was borderline pleading. You had gotten used to her strength and independence. It was rare that she wanted help so admittedly. You suspected an ulterior motive, but didn’t say anything about it immediately.
“We can be there by dinner if you think you need it,” you said, honestly. Giles was in the shower. You could hear the sound of the water hitting the bathroom tiles. The gentle movement of his body as the pressure shifted. “But I think you’re just getting used to college and you want some normalcy.”
“I’m a big girl. If I felt that way, I would say it!” There was a beat of silence as you waited, toying with the phone chord. She let out a deep breath. “Willow has Oz. It’s weird!”
“It’s your first night. You’re gonna be okay.”
“If Giles had answered this phone call then he would already be in the car,” she complained.
“He’s a pushover.”
“I know! That’s why I like him!” You both laughed gently. You wanted to be there for Buffy, your natural inclination was to go to her. She had been like a daughter to you through her high school years, despite the fact that you were mildly close in age. You just happened to graduate a couple of years before she did. But you knew the feeling of independence needed to come from allowing her to fly. She was a big girl. She could do it.
“Buff.” She let out a soft sigh. “I’m not saying you’re on your own. I’m just saying you need some distance and some growth.”
“I’ve grown,” she pleaded. “I’ve killed a lot of people you know.”
“Vampires.”
“Potato potato.”
“You’re a big girl and it isn’t going to hurt you to stay a night with Willow like a sleepover.”
“God, you’re such a mom.” You snorted. The bathroom door opened. You craned your neck to the hallway from where you were sitting on the couch. Rupert was drying his hair, wearing gray sweatpants and a shirt. You raised an eyebrow. He didn’t notice, walking into the kitchen and fishing for the tea bags.
“Have a good night's sleep Buff. If you still need us tomorrow, call.”
“I will. Thank you.” She hung up the phone. You put your back on the receiver.
“What did Buffy need?” Giles asked from the kitchen. His voice was smooth, the accent clear. He had sung some in the shower. It was a testament to how close he was with you.
“She was feeling a little homesick,” you admitted. “She’s gonna be okay.” You turned your body completely, putting your arms up on the couch back. You watched him through the kitchen window, his back turned to you. You could see his arms defined as he started to pour some water into his tea kettle. You put your chin on your hands, admiring him.
“We could’ve gone down to see her,” he said.
“She needs space.” He shrugged and glanced back at you. He did a double take when he noticed the wide eyes you were giving him.
“Are you alright?”
“I’m fine. Admiring the view.” He chuckled nervously. No matter how long you had been together, he remained slightly flustered at your words. “When did you get those sweatpants?”
“I found them in my drawers when I cleaned them the other day.” He was still looking for a job after the library burnt down. He had plenty of time for house maintenance and random spring cleaning duties. “Why? Do you like them?”
He came around the kitchen corner. You lifted your head up a bit and nodded, probably a little too eagerly. You reached your hand over the couch and nimbly grabbed at the chords on his pants.
“They look nice,” you said, looking up at him. He raised an interested eyebrow.
“I’ve just put the kettle on,” he told you, though his voice gave him away. Raspy, intrigued.
“So?” you teased. He let out a shaky breath.
“You’re going to be the death of me,” he muttered, dipping down to kiss you. You strained your neck to kiss him back, putting your hand around the nape of his neck. He completely succumbed to you, easily, without more complaint. It had been so long since Rupert had known a love like yours and he was so consumed by it that it almost hurt. Your mouth opened a bit, to give way for his tongue, which entered quickly. You let out a brief breath, pulling away and diving back in. Because he was still standing (though hunched), you had perfect access to his waist line.
You slid your hands up his shirt, to the hem of his pants. He shuddered at your cold touch. His hair was still wet, dripping onto your face as you kissed. You gripped his pants, holding onto the top and slowly, slowly, moving them down. He groaned against your lips at the slow movements. Before you got too far, you stopped kissing him and sat up. He watched as you hopped over the couch so that you could properly get on your knees for him.
He put his hand on your cheek, your jaw. You looked up at him. He turned on his heels so he was leaning against the couch. Your fingers were still on his pants, not daring to move them any lower.
“Rupert,” you breathed.
“Hmm,” he moaned. “C’mon love,” he whispered. He put his other hand on yours. You tugged a bit, teasingly. He groaned.
You finally pulled all the way down, his boxers and pants falling to his ankles. His dick sprang to life. You almost made a comment about how eager he was despite his age, but repressed it. You wanted him inside of you.
You wrapped your lips around him, starting to bob your head without any more thought. You could hear his moaning and it only prompted you forward. He put his hand on the back of your head, bunched in your hair. You used his legs to sturdy yourself.
“Good lord,” he muttered, head falling back. You went on like that for a couple of minutes, always impressed with his ability to last. When you finally came up for air you were covered in him. You looked up with doe eyes that drove him insane. “Get up here.”
“Yes sir.”
You stood up, ignoring the tingling in your knees. He helped you by placing you on the back of the couch. You held your hands around his cheeks, cupping them as he worked at your pants. Once he started he was always eager to get inside you. The words that slipped from his mouth were unintelligible and loving, rough but careful.
You kicked your pants onto the floor. He put himself against you. He met your gaze. He looked at you with longing, lustful. You smiled loopily, your grip still on his cheeks.
“Rupert, c’mon,” you muttered. He took your go ahead and shoved himself inside you, wet by your need. He put his head against your shoulder as he started to thrust, no thoughts given towards anything except his desire. Rupert had never been a quiet lover and his grunts proved it. You hung your head back, feeling as he moved inside every inch of you, each thrust long and hard. What he lacked in speed he had in stamina.
You let out a yelp as he hit the right spot, your hair falling between the gaps of your back. You brought his face back up and kissed him, hungrily, his lips moving around by scarcely finding the right spot. It would’ve made you smile if you weren’t so tied up.
“God,” he whispered, voice coming out desperately needy. Shaky. “I love you,” he groaned. The tension in your stomach grew as he kept hitting just the right spot. With each thrust you grew closer. “Are you close?” he asked. You nodded, quickly, forgetting to stop.
“Is it okay-”
“Go ahead,” you grumbled. You didn’t want him to stop. You were on the pill. You pushed the danger aside and pulled him closer to you with your leg wrapped around his waist.
His thrusts began to get sloppier but you hardly noticed, your own high coming over you. Your legs shook, gripping his body to keep you steady, in case you fell backwards onto the couch. He let out a long moan, indicating his own release.
You let out a sigh, blissful.
He stayed inside you, coming down. You hummed.
“I’ll wear the pants more often,” he said, chuckling. Your laughter mixed in with his as the tea kettle started to whistle. You looked behind him and he followed your gaze, the laughter continuing. He moved out of you, the emptiness almost unbearable. “I’m going to get us something to wash us up,” he said. You nodded once.
You pushed yourself off the couch and walked over to the kitchen. You took the kettle off the stove.
