Summary
Torturing Giles goes a little too far and Angelus turns him to ensure his loyalty and access to his considerable knowledge. However, the big, bad vampire gets more than he wanted in the once stuffy Watcher.
Might add more warnings as I get into the plot more - will still likely be E rated

Summary
Look, you can read Part One of this series which is 'Theater of Monsters,' or you can take a breath and dive.
Buffy has created the new Council of Slayers, which works with a newly formed magical organisation, the Coven Circle.
Her relationship with Willow is on rocky ground as she finds it hard to truly move on and forgive past magical sins - especially when it comes to a certain pesky Chaos mage. Non magical sins might be even harder to get past and her relationship with Giles is really struggling.
So when Giles, Ethan and their friends seem to drop off the face of the earth, and Chaos magic starts dumping out like something really, really bad has happened to Ethan, Buffy must start to consider her stance and what matters to her when it really comes down to it.
Honorable mention to Mr Gordo.
Includes a dragon because why not?Series

Summary
She rushed out the door on pure instinct and adrenaline. Her body burned hotter than ever as she fought and dusted the couple of vamps trying to make a midnight snack of a Beta woman. The dust hadn’t yet settled to the ground when out of the gloom a clap broke the silence.
A shock of platinum blond hair lit up under the glow of a single phosphorescent spotlight. A black boot kicked off from the dank brick wall to stand mere feet from her. Shockingly blue eyes held her gaze captive as a sinful smirk settled over the pale man’s face. Except, no, he was definitely a vampire, but he didn’t feel like any vampire she had faced to date. Her skin hummed with his proximity. And she felt drawn to make one step closer to him, just to feel her skin tingle with a pleasurable electricity.

Summary
Buffy has created a new council of slayers and watchers and is running it, supported by an also newly formed council of covens and by Willow, Xander and the now activated other slayers. However the old Council of Watchers is not accepting it's loss of power without a fight. Not only are they seriously getting in Buffy's way, they are starting to collect extremely powerful magical items and no one can figure out why. What are they up to and can Buffy stop them?
Meanwhile, Buffy and Giles' relationship has still not got over the events of season 7, a situation not helped by Giles choosing to go off with Ethan rather than supporting Buffy's new venture or the fact that Giles' elder brother Charles is fighting against her on the old Council of Watchers.
Giles x Ethan, because they deserved to have that resolved. If it's not your usual ship give it a go, don't let it put you off enjoying the story. If it is your ship then honk honk, welcome aboard the latest sailing.
I am not Spuffy friendly, polite warning.

Summary
“A Sorcerous Bargain”
Pt. 2Giles and Ethan have had a long, hard road to find each other again. Neither wants to let this go, now. But with all the will put by to dedicate to recommitment, there is still the unspoken left between them.
We all know, though, that during a long road-trip, the truth will always out.
(This tale is a companion-piece to my much longer Spuffy series, “Something Wicked”. If you wish to read this one without diving through that (admittedly vast) series, just know that this is set in an AU wherein Spuffy are married, having gotten their act together shortly after "Something Blue", Giles and Ethan reconnected and decided to give this thing another shot somewhere mid-S5, and this current tale is set during the hiatus between a much-altered S5-S6.)

Summary
Part 4 of "Souls In Bondage" series
The Scourge are done for. The baby Slayers are back on track, nicely settled under Xander and Willow’s careful tutelage. Dawn is right-sized. Things with Giles are… steady-ish. And Buffy and Spike have found a nice safe haven away from it all where they can just be. Dial in case of Apocalypse. Sort out the gray areas on their own time and terms. Maybe redefine the whole relationship between demons and humanity, and vamps and humans… and of course Slayers and vamps. You know; given enough time and… social intercourse.Anyway, that was the theory. Then the whole thing started with the military, and Amy. And then Willow and Xander decide to show up on their doorstep. And there was that thing with Faith and Giles, and… Jeez. Hellmouths weren’t the only things that keep rumbling.
Well, at least they’d closed the book on Angel, right?

Summary
Stand alone or part of my series, however you'd like to read it. This is a missing scene set just after A New Man which explains why we never hear from Ethan again in the series. There is no way that an Initiative that was so clueless about magics could have held him, I always assumed that he had got away until the comics came along and ruined things.
Anyway, this is actually how it went, according to me.References to the whole "bacchanals & orgies" thing as mentioned by Willow so if that is not appropriate for you, don't read.

Summary
Standalone or part of series.
Robson is home from Hong Kong and knows he needs to be here at the CoW HQ, however much he wishes he was elsewhere. Rupert was his best friend from childhood and if they are bringing him in - whatever condition he's in and apparently it's bad - then Robson should show his support. Thankfully Rupert's grandmother is looking for someone to help her through the day.
OR,
Giles may have gone back to the Council but as Buffy herself said "he didn't really have a choice."Family falling's out. Giles is in a state so trigger warning for addiction and what it does for you.
