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.

Date: 2012-10-17 10:01 pm (UTC)I got this whole backstory in my head for this drabble, I almost feel like fleshing it out a bit. (Oh right, I used to want to write a full-length fic about Giles and Willow in England at some point...) Basically, for historical reasons which may be more obvious to them than it would be to Giles, witches' covens may have... opinions on witchcraft trials. So they have other ways to deal with those who struggle.
