I first started watched Buffy in its 5th season, but for some reason I never read much fic until Fall 2006. It was about then that I finally finished "Five Times, With Angst (and Once Without)," which I'd been chipping away at for close on three years. I stumbled upon the Giles corner of the fandom while looking for places to post and was completely hooked.

It was another few months before I tried my hand at writing anything else, but since then I've written a number of stories, almost all Giles-centered. I seem to be a bit one-track in the Buffy fandom (though you could say the same about my Harry Potter stories, where almost all of them seem to involve Lupin in some way). I don't seem to much care who Giles is paired with, as long as he's there.

These are ordered by pairing.
