Silco and Jinx are like if you took Buffy and Giles and gave them Erik and Christine's aesthetic and levels of mental illness

He knew it was unreasonably cruel, lashing out at Buffy like this. It wasn’t her fault. It hadn’t been. It had been him who’d listened, turned away, let Buffy run roughshod over Jenny’s heart—or, no, that wasn’t right, was it? Jenny had loved Buffy, but her love for Giles burned so brightly that it had very nearly killed her. It had been him who’d run roughshod over Jenny’s heart.

i return! with this!

this is for @hal-1500, because we have talked in great detail about the notion of jenny being very vulnerable post-passion and giles struggling with it! i meant to write something super cute about him fussing over her, but then suddenly it turned into "absolutely everyone is imploding post-passion even tho jenny lived," which. can also still be cute? maybe?

also you should totally check out hal's drabble on the same subject, which is basically if this was much much cuter and involved much less of giles trying to torpedo all of his relationships.

S01:E08 - I, Robot ... You, Jane (Part 12)

Parallels, because of the line I underlined.

But this scene in "Child of the Hunt" is just too cool. It's an intense scene between Buffy and Angel, of course. But the Wild Hunt is just an amazing enemy (I say as someone who has now read two series that has done that:)). And I love how you can feel Buffy's fear here, that is so justified. "Child of the Hunt" all around is a great book.

Edit: I feel like it's self-explanatory in this scene, but if the Wild Hunt sees or hears you, you become a member of their crew.

This is one of those headcanons that has been banging around my brain for a while. Of course Giles is a father figure to Buffy (far better than Absentee Hank), and of course they care about each other. I got to thinking about the idea of him adopting her as an adult, and it’s a dynamic that I could see for them personally. Makes the hospital paperwork much easier when your dad and emergency contact is also your Watcher. He’s still Giles to her, of course, and they behave much in the same way they always have. But I thought about the idea of him giving her the forms as a present for her birthday, as well as some for Dawn since he wouldn’t dare separate them. And while Dawn politely declines any official papers because she feels as though Joyce, Willow, and Tara’s presences in her life along with Buffy’s were enough for her, Buffy chooses to accept. When she talks to Dawn, Dawn tells her that she thinks it’s probably what Joyce would have wanted. It’s not something they talk much about after the fact, considering the both of them aren’t particularly outwardly emotional toward one another, but there are a few moments between them that are. The first time Giles is asked if Buffy is his daughter in the hospital and he answers yes. When the pair of them are having a celebratory dinner out on her birthday and a woman tells Buffy she smiles the same way her Dad does. She thinks he’ll correct them, but he just smiles politely and thanks her. Telling her friends, at which point Xander insists they have a party (which they do, and it’s awesome). And when a new member of the Watcher’s Council tries to make a show of power, Giles is quick to put a stop to it with a singular and stern warning to watch his mouth around his daughter and it silences the room, but Buffy laughs a little. The paperwork is just that- paperwork. But it’s how it changes their perspective of one another that matters. Giles has reassurance that Buffy knows he’ll show up for her. Buffy knows she’s loved enough for Giles to do all of that solely for her. Not for other people or the world or the people of Sunnydale. Just because he loves her, though neither of them say it directly. Instead, it comes through every time Giles calls Buffy his daughter and the first time Buffy calls Giles “Dad” after it happens and she’s nursing a head injury from the job.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer 5.08 — "Shadow"

[thecrazyknight]

I love this shot so damn much

unmatched ship dynamic: "i've done terrible things in the past" x "all i care about is who you are in the present"

[tiredandoptimistic]

Quite frankly the vibe Giles brings to his pseudo-parenting
