Title: A Watcher Is Always Prepared.
Summary:  Future “Take Me” Giles and Anya  or any [G/A  where Anya was never with Xander and picked Giles first ]on a picnic.
AN: For ljs Sorry, it was all I could think of for corkscrew.  My brother’s had one for twenty years and never used it.

“This has been a perfect day, Rupert.”

Giles watched the sunlight as it played over Anya’s face and took another sip of wine. “Truly idealic. You know, the best part was what was missing.”

“No work?”

“That was nice but, no.”

“No Scoobies?”

“No. A plus, but not what I was thinking of.”

“No big bad trying to end the world?”

“Very fortunate.   Still wasn’t my thought.”

“I give. What was missing that made this day perfect?”

“You forgot  the corkscrew. It’s the first time I’ve had to use that tool on my knife since it was given to me.”

This may be my first time filling all the request I get in a day.

Possible future drabble for T&P Dawn & Giles using auntiero's prompt Ballerina.


“What are you thinking ?” Dawn asked.

“Only how beautiful you are and how very proud I am of you. Though, I had little to do with the woman you’ve become. I can’t even pretend I saw your first steps or your first ballet recital.”

“I wasn’t a great ballerina. I was five, my tights sagged, and I tripped. God, I hope I don’t trip!”

“I’ll have your arm this time.”

“Giles, I can tell the fake from the real memories now. You know what my earliest real one is? Sitting in that red car you had and trying to annoy you and Buffy enough so that you’d pay attention to me.”

“You were always good at that. But I took a long time to learn to be a father. ”

“That’s bull. You’ve been there for me my whole life. My whole real life. You, Anya, Buffy and Spike. So what if you weren’t there when I was little. I wasn’t there either.”

Giles said, “You know I love you.”

Anya wiped her eyes. “Time to go, you two.”

“I love you too, Dad. Come on, walk me to the alter. Alan’s going to think I got cold feet.”

Title: The New Doctor
Rating: Family friendly
Summary: Truth & Possibilities verse Dawn and the 11th. meet. I have no clue what 11 will be like right now, so consider him an OC claiming to be the doctor. There are no spoilers for T&P or Who because I have no idea what will happen in either one. All you need to know about T&P Dawn is in the first chapter of that story.
Disclaimer: If I owned the rights to these characters this would be a script and I’d be making money. Since I’m living on SSI instead please don’t sue me.
AN: Normally, Dawn knows better than to go off with a stranger these days, but this is the Doctor and he inspires this sort of behavior. Thanks to Jane for  betaing!

“Are you sure I look all right, honey?” Anya asked for the third time.

Giles said, “You look lovely. Now, if we don’t get going, my cousin will be sitting in the airport wondering if we forgot to pick him up. There’s really no reason to fuss. He only  became a doctor not a crowned prince.”

“I’ve met royalty, but this will be my first in-law. I’m a little nervous.”

“Really, Anya?” Dawn said, as dryly as her father might. “I would never have guessed.”

“Are you sure you don’t want to come with us, Dawn? We can close the shop early.”

“Wow! You are scared, Anya! Just go, guys. It’s Tuesday, so the shop will be dead;  nothing ever happens on Tuesdays.”

“I’m sure you’re right, Dawn," Giles said. “We’ll be back in an hour or so. Call Spike’s cell if you have a problem. He’ll be able to get here quickest. ” Putting a reassuring hand on Anya’s back, he guided her, or maybe pushed her, out the Magic Box door.

It didn’t take long for Dawn to wish she’d gone with Anya and her dad. The book that she was reading  between the non-existent costumers was really boring. Just as she tossed it aside, she was startled by the jingle of the bells as a man burst through the door.

“Has an Ursinite come through here?” The guy sounded English and very worried. ( Read more... )
