Three excellent Giles-centric stories that tell essentially the same tale.

Soldier While doing some mindless work today that allowed my mind to wander I thought...
...the best thing that could have happened to the series at the end of season 5 would have been Giles killing Dawn and everyone except Buffy forgetting that reality. The possibilities for stories and Scooby conflict are endless. There are plenty of "Giles kills Dawn" stories, including another one I like very similar to "All Set Down" that I can't find, but none go farther than that. It seems so obvious - did anyone ever write my story?
