A Buffy and Giles Christmas Story in response to a challenge from Gileswench on [bg-fanfic-adult].
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I have made an effort to include ALL of Gileswench's challenge requirements into this story, although you will see as it progresses that I've twisted a couple of them to make them fit. Hey, this is a fun fic and that's the fun of fanfic. See if you can find them all. Oh yeah, and Angel is in this. I'm sorry, sue me, but I like him and he wanted to join in the Christmas festivities so I let him. Don't worry though, this is a happy fic and he won't be causing any problems for Buffy and Giles. (Or none of the kind you might expect, anyway.)
FEEDBACK: Well, I'm certainly not going to complain! :-)
THE CHALLENGE:
Okay folks, it's been too quiet around here lately so I'm posting a Christmas challenge. It's due by Boxing day (December 26, for those unfamiliar).
Pairing: B/G (how do you spell "duh"?)
Rating: Any. Be as naughty or nice as you please.
Must include ALL of the following: A non-traditional use for a candy cane, either Giles or Wesley telling someone: "You know, when I take off my glasses, you're beautiful", Giles playing his guitar, a home made Christmas gift.
Must include at least THREE (3) of the following: Alternate lyrics to a Christmas Carol, somebody watching a well-known holiday movie or tv show, Anya misinterpreting a Christmas tradition, Buffy and Giles patrolling together, a lump of coal in someone's Christmas stocking, Buffy crying.
There it is, folks. Good luck, and have fun!
