Wings In Water
Post-s6

Throughout a cold English summer, Giles waits for the coven to hold some sort of trial. They’re an ancient order, they must have rules. He’d speak in her defense, explain why Willow should be allowed to live, why she’s worth saving. He’d tell them of the girl waiting at the library doors on his first day at the hellmouth, six years ago. How he failed her. How he couldn’t keep her from becoming ever more powerful, more arrogant. How he couldn’t control her.

He keeps waiting, but the witches never ask his opinion. They just take care of their own.

Hehe, that is so Giles. Even as a failure he tries to stay on top and manage the flow (and just cannot accept that other people run things differently). :D

Also: Congrats. :)

Thanks! And yeah; Giles' heart is in the right place, but he's still stuck within one story whereas Willow may have one foot in another one. (Nice to see you around, btw!)

Yeah, i agree with you. :)

And, yes, i'm still around from time to time but until December my job is eating me alive severely limiting my ability to read, write and joke around! :)

I know the feeling...

If you do ever have the time, I'd love to hear your input on this (http://beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com/186180.html) meta post I made a while back. There should be a follow-up in the not-too-distant-future once I finish s7 and put my notes in order.
