Here are five of my favorite stories about Giles that were written in 2006. Two gen and three different Giles pairings.

[livejournal.com profile] heron_pose: The Psycho Killer Librarian and the Geek Girl of Doom, Or, How I Spent My Summer Vacation - genfic, FRT
Late fees. Replacement fees. And retribution.

[livejournal.com profile] kivrin: "When They Take You In" - genfic, FRT
After the Eyghon debacle, Rupert and his parents pick up the pieces. A different sort of hurt/comfort than the usual.

[livejournal.com profile] ljs: Hugh Grant explains it all for you, parts one, two, three, and four - Giles/Anya, FRM
A romantic comedy about a stammering Englishman and a simple shopkeeper. Witty and stylish, and a much better start to season 6.

[livejournal.com profile] speakingsilence: The Definition of a Watcher - Giles/Wesley, FRAO
Giles offers a kind of consolation to Wesley, before he returns to Los Angeles and his fate. Wrenching for both Giles and the reader.

[livejournal.com profile] fairfax_snark: The Dark and Sinister Man - parts one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven - Giles/Buffy, FRM
A retelling of "A New Man". Ethan Rayne chooses something rather different to turn Giles into. A delicious exercise in the style of a famous writer, whose identity will become clear to you as you read.

Nice mix of fics here -- ratings, tone, characters.

I love ljs' Hugh Grant.... I couldn't resist the combination of the title and the pairing and it did not disappoint.
