Buffy Drabbles
So I have never met a 100 drabble challenge I didn't like and giles_shorts is running a great one. You take the last line of another 100 drabble and use it as your first line. I got inspired. (Warning: One of these is Buffy/Giles. I apologize to anyone that find that squiggy!)
Title: Goes Around, Comes Around
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Word Count: 100
Last line prompt: "A Slayer deserves a night off now and then."
A Slayer deserves a night off now and then. Every good Watcher knew that. But it seemed like every night was an excuse to go clubbing. This new Slayer was reckless, irresponsible, and completely aggravating. Not that this Watcher would say any of that out loud. She was not a hypocrite. It didn’t matter, of course. Giles always knew what she was thinking.
“You are enjoying this FAR too much,” Buffy grumbled, as they watched her young charge. Her first as a newly minted Watcher.
“I am actually.”
“Stupid role reversal.”
“I recommend Scotch. Shall I?”
“Yes! A double, please.”
Title: Can’t Always Get What You Want
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Word Count: 100
Pairing: Buffy/Giles
Last line prompt: "He wasn't the man she wanted"
He wasn't the man she wanted as a girl. She’d been too blinded by the dark and mysterious. But like the song said, you get what you need. She needed someone strong and calm when her world went insane. Someone to call her out when she was being stupid and yet never lose faith in her, in who she was. Someone who’d trust her with even the ugly parts of himself. Who wouldn’t see her strength as his weakness.
But she never would have believed that Giles could ever need her. Not like that. Not until he practically screamed it.
Title: New Job Frustrations

Word Count: 100
Last line prompt: "It wasn’t exactly what he’d had in mind "
It wasn’t exactly what he’d had in mind when he found out he was to be posted to the Hellmouth. Becoming the epitome of the tweedy British stereotype. Hiding all his academic degrees that a librarian hired by the Californian public school system just wouldn’t have. He would even have to drive an old banger of a car to better fit the image.
He was leaving behind London, a job he loved at the British Museum and the promise of starting something up again with Olivia.
All for a Slayer he knew nothing about. She had better be worth it.
More to come. ;-)
