Why? LG doesn't mess around in this fic - it's post NFA and Spike and Giles are in an established relationship (well, they've had a fight)... when something happens to Giles. This has a fantastic companion piece Embracing Eternity.

Why? Oh man. So, it's season 4, classic time for Spike/Giles action, and what starts out as something simple and becomes one of the sweetest and heartwrenchingly wonderful stories I've read in ages.

Why? Season 4, lovely Giles/Spike interaction (and a fundamentalist church headed by demons) that leads to something slightly more unpredictable. I've said I'm a sucker for these kind of fics, and I am...

Why? Phen does some seriously fantastic angsty painful hard yummy sex here, and tops it all off with a cherry of some blood play. It's one of those fics you walk away from and go wow. This is another one of the classic G/S moments - post Buffy's fall off the tower in S5.

Why? And then there’s Jane. She’s out of the fandom now, and I was sad to see her go, but she’s one of the most fabulous, scrumptious, steamy hot writers out there. And this is one of my favorites of her works. For me, in the same way that “This One Does” is the best of the best Giles has Spike chained in his bathtub stories, “Behind Closed Doors” is the best of the best “Giles and Spike post-Buffy’s jump off the tower”. The two are left behind - Spike who will always love Buffy, and Giles, who (in this case) will always love Buffy too (but very much in a fatherly-Watcher type way) - and find a way to go on after the woman who defined their lives is dead.
Warnings: This one’s a dom/sub relationship, and even though there’s occasional pain, it’s more emotional than physical. Although there are some punishments. Lots and lots of sex (not a surprise there!) and really incredible characterizations.
