I feel the need... the need for tweed

Awww, Giles. I miss Giles. Soooooo much. :-(

I'm afraid I'm one of the 'no Giles/Buffy' please camp. In fact, I don't like Giles/Xander or Giles/Willow, either. There's just too much age difference, plus the father-figure thing.

I am, however, very, very happy with Giles/Spike, or Giles/Joyce (not that I've seen much of that), or Giles/Angel, or Giles/Ethan... :-)

Spike/Giles all the way baby. Failing that Giles/Ethan is always hot. *g*

[slaymesoftly.livejournal.com]

ASH is capable of much hotness - so I went for "I'd tap that". As far as the others go, I read a Spike/Willow once that wasn't as squickifying as I expected, but it wouldn't be my first choice. I love Ganya, I can easily read a well-done, believable Spike/Giles (although, only as a temporary thing, for some reason), I can easily get into Giles/Joyce, and if he wants Olivia, I'm fine with that. And then, there's Ethan...
Giles and Buffy just makes me shudder. I'd rather read Spawn, than Biles. That is not a positive statement - just in case that wasn't clear. :)

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I lean toward Joyce.

But Spike, because they argue and that's... you know... adorable hate!sex.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Ooh, Ethan!

:0

I should have added more choices, no?

[eviinsanemonkey.livejournal.com]

See icon.

Also: that video is amusing.

Do you have a link to that ffr convo?

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

I chose tapping also.

Anya - I thought of her after posting the vid. I did like that little thang they had.

SPAWN makes me hurl.

Giles/Spike is fantastic. There's just so much history and feeling there, and there's hardly any of it around! :-(

[sueworld2003.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. *g*

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

NICE icon!

Yes, here's the post:

Thanks XD I made it in response to a...very obnoxious comment on my only Giles/Xander fic.

Sweet, I shall have to check it out, see the hubbub!

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Yes. That.

Oh man, ICON LOVE.

If someone can convince me with fic, I'll buy almost any pairing. TRUFAX.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Oooh man, this post brings the icons out to play!

I've got to read that fic!

(It's no statement on your pairing, but this is my only Xander icon, sadly.)

[unfeathered]

Heh, yeah, me too, actually. Mostly, I don't care about pairing so much as good writing. :-)

And yeah, it's a great icon, isn't it? I like this one too. *g*

[eviinsanemonkey.livejournal.com]

Icons are fun! Sadly I've run out of Buffy ones...

Here it be. I linked you to the FanNation one 'cause that's where the review for it is...(I then proceeded to rant about it on my LJ...)

LOL, it's a lovely Xander icon. This is my only ASH alone icon...oh, Repo.

XANDER/GILES

[yesmypet.livejournal.com]

Gander? I would hit it, too.

[lionessvalenti.livejournal.com]

Without a doubt, Ethan.

Randomly enough, on my rewatch of Buffy, on the second Ethan episode, he's talking to Buffy and he says something about Giles and Buffy goes, "You know Giles?" and Ethan says, "We go back" and I FLIPPED OUT. He said it in the same tone as Jack, except... less annoyed. Possibly more suggestive.

That pretty much sealed the Giles/Ethan deal for me.

Re: XANDER/GILES

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

They call it... Gander?

Okay, sorry, but... wut?

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

I have never seen this scene. What is wrong with me?

Geez, I suck. Do you know the name of the ep?

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

And now you also see where I got that Care Bears fic link!

I love FFR at times.

Oh WTF re: people ripping on a slash pairing for those two? That's insanity/inanity.

[lionessvalenti.livejournal.com]

The Dark Age. If you have the series on dvd, it's on the second disc of season two.

I've been plotbunnying two Buffy crossovers and one of them is a Jack/Ethan conman fic. But pre!Who Jack doesn't work for it. I'd have to have a Jack who didn't give up a life of con through his course of the 20th century.

[oneloveonelight.livejournal.com]

I loooove Giles. Do you have Tony Head's album, Music For Elevators? It's not stupendous but there's a couple songs I like: "This Town In The Rain" and ESPECIALLY "The Last Time" which was supposed to be one of Spike's songs in "Once More With Feeling".

Also, have you seen Repo! The Genetic Opera? He's very... villianous but fantastic in it.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

I do not have the album, but I'd like it. I loved him in "Once More With Feeling".

Repo! is on my "watch that soon" list for certain. The idea of Paris Hilton had been putting me off.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that'd be nice. Maybe Jack could have a disillusionment period after someone close to him is hurt or something, wanders the world and meets up with Ethan?

[slaymesoftly.livejournal.com]

hee! I love your banner, BTW. Two very pretty men.
