Fic: Arriving Home G/X

Arriving Home © October 14, 2007

(Rated PG - no curse words.  Pre-slash.  Xander comes home from Africa.  With a surprise. Some G-man angst.  Mention of slayage - not the good kind.)

Thanks to Karen/s for the look through.  Any mistakes are mine.  Apologies to dr. squidlove for the similar

I like this. I hope you write more.

[wiley_nilly]

I'm glad you liked it. I might write more. Not sure though, but thanks for asking.

Wow. Um, I'm glad you like my stuff.

Wait. Ten years... ~click~ *Oh*. You need need a bell so I can keep track of you, B.

And no worries about the title. 'Coming Home' is not exactly running for the title prize.

It was so little to do, but Giles felt it was never enough. To give Xander now what he probably never had - a safe place to come home to.
Nice.

I knew it wasn't going to be a slayer - when you said it was just an e-mail for two tickets, I was sure he was coming home with a boyfriend. A child is much preferable. Kinda. ~g~

"Tried to tell myself, what would Giles say to the officious toady at the British Consulate? How would Giles handle a condescending flight attendant?" Xander paused to let the impish smile form, the one Giles was so fond of. "By the end of the trip, everyone was calling me sir."
lol - that's really cool.

Thank you!

Awww! That's beautiful. I love Xander in this, and a KID! YAY! :D It's like a new trend in G/X-dom lately. *eyes own work in progress*

Thank you for taking part in the Fest! :D

I'm so glad you liked it. Yeah - I'm growing fonder of kids in fic in my old age - if they aren't written poorly - you know?

Thanks for letting me post! (Even if it was late.) And, Happy Birthday to you.

Bridget

Thank you! :D

(Oh, may I have this for No One Knows? :D -- if yes, would it be possible for you to send it to my email like the others?)

This is fantastic! Would you consider doing a sequel? I'd love to see Xander and Giles get together, and raise Eli.

"Tried to tell myself, what would Giles say to the officious toady at the British Consulate? How would Giles handle a condescending flight attendant?" Xander paused to let the impish smile form, the one Giles was so fond of. "By the end of the trip, everyone was calling me sir." The smile got bigger. "I kinda liked it."

I love this. I could so see Xander trying to make his way through a stressful situation by imagining that he's Giles.

At last, he returned the hug, allowing himself to just feel Xander's embrace for what it was: friendship.

No, Giles! It's love! Deep, lustful, enduring LOVE!

Seriously, I need a sequel.

--> I'm starting to consider it, since folk seem to like it. I'm glad you did. *g*

--> I like 'big boy' Xander. A lot.

No, Giles! It's love! Deep, lustful, enduring LOVE!

--> I know. Giles deserves some happiness and reciprocal feelings, huh?

Seriously, I need a sequel.

--> I'll see what I can do. *-*

Thanks for your kind words,

Bridget

Oh so lovely.
"He never examined the giddiness he felt at the first site of the lad, just that he was excited.
One didn't moon after staff members. Nor men never given to relationships of the same sex.
Nor those young enough to be his child. It just wasn't done."
- Giles, really, you should know better, of course one does!
Sequel, pretty please.

[elayne222]

I know what you mean: Giles might need to revert to Ripper, don't you think?

Thanks for your kind words,

Bridget
