A Mile in His Moccasins by Gileswench NC-17

*waves* Hello [community profile] crack_vanreaders! I'm Katy and I'll be driving the Buffy van this month. I'm a Giles fan, so I'll be bringing the Watcher love this month. Hopefully there will be something for everyone here; het (Giles/Buffy all the way), slash (Giles/Xander and Giles/Wesley) and gen. So enjoy!


Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer 
Pairing: Giles/Buffy
Author on LJ: [profile] gileswench
Author Website: The Wench's Tavern

Why this must be read: If you love Giles, Da Wench is one of the first authors you should read. Best known for writing Giles/Buffy, she knows Giles inside and out. She doesn't sugar coat him or neglect his flaws. Instead she brings them out and makes the reader love him even more because of them. Any Giles lover should check out all of her stories.

In this story, Giles is forced to come back to Sunnydale, after leaving at the beginning of season six, by our favorite Council villian, Quentin Travers. When he and Buffy encouner a demon who switches their bodies, both are forced to examine the other's lives from their perspective. Wenchie doesnt flinch from the ugliness that was season six, but does a wonderful job of making both characters face their inner demons. Plus, the sex is smoking hot.

Just in case anyone is looking through the archives, I could not get the story link to work (though the SNAP preview works, how strange). After poking around a bit, I found another link for the story that did work for me in case anyone else is having the same problem:

off to read!
