Chinese Whispers by noelia_g (R)

Fandom: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
Pairing: Giles/Faith
Length: ~550
Author on LJ: [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
Author Website: stop.look.listen.
Why this must be read:

This is a story that packs a punch, it hits you, and it hits you hard. I loved the symmetry of the prose, the implications of the relationship between the Council and the Slayer, and the author's wonderful characterization of Giles.

They teach you at the very beginning in the Academy, that the Slayer is the priority. A matter of course, since she is the Chosen One (for the moment). Your task is to be everything she needs. Everything and anything (the possibilities are endless, the borders undefined).

They teach you also that the Chosen One is one of many, expendable, a verse in the song, a whisper in the wind, dust.

What does that make you?
