Here we go, one last time...

Giles wants Drusilla to tell him the future.

Giles wants to be left alone. The Council needs more from him.

Ethan brings magick to Giles’ world

Jenny and Giles have a demon-free date for once

Giles has the comfort of those who have gone before him.

The Council have always been dicks. Giles should know

Giles cannot escape the world that molded him except maybe through airplane scotch.

Buffy needs Giles’ help.

A vampire needs teaching not to mess with the unholy three of Giles, Spike, and Faith.

Buffy and Dawn learn a terrifying secret.

Giles sacrifices some dignity but who wouldn’t in the face of giant demon moths!

And Cover art for addler’s awesome fic and two great manips from emmatheslayer round us off.

Not every day on a hellmouth is an apocalypse, but that doesn't mean the rest aren't really really weird. Mid-S3, the Sunnydale crew (plus Faith and Wesley) have to deal with a horde of mutant moths, because of course they do.

(This was a present for alphamikefoxtrot, who for some reason still talks to me despite the horde of mutant moths.)
