summer_of_giles is a lovely sandbox to play in every year and to enjoy some wonderful creativity. Here are five fics from SoG I enjoyed this year. (There's a lot more there than just these five, so go over to the comm and have an amble through all the great work.)

The Mirror Broke (But All My Friends Were Laughing) by 23Murasaki. I’m a sucker for a well written AU and this one is lovely. Randall lives post Eyghon and Giles’ life takes a different turn. This is excellently done.


By the Rose-Wreath'd Gate by aadler. This is as accomplished as you’d expect from this author. Giles contemplates the woman who wants to be in his life, the women who were in his life in the past and the woman who has a lot to say about the direction his life is going.

Dance by Melacka. This is proof that you don’t need to write an epic to tell a story. Giles plucks up his courage and is rewarded.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Unfeathered (Giles/Captain Jack Harkness). This is a crossover with Torchwood and I really like the idea of Giles and Jack Harkness meeting, especially when Jack is feeling vulnerable. Note, this has a bit of light D/s in it, just in case that's not your thing. (This is part of a longer series which I haven't had the chance to read yet, but I was able to read this story quite happily as a standalone.)

The Mark You Missed by RipperGiles (Giles, Ethan) Giles is investigating a case with potential supernatural origins when his past comes back to haunt him. This is fun.

As always, thanks for the mention.

The rec/summary was very entertaining.

You are most welcome. I'm glad the description entertained - I had to think quite a bit on how not to spoil. :)

Thanks for these recs! I have been meaning to catch up with the Summer of Giles entries from this year, and this list gives me a good selection of where to start.

You are most welcome. Yes, hopefully this gives you a good gateway into SoG this year and then you can fan out from there.

Looks like a good assortment -- I've downloaded several of them!

Yay, I hope you enjoy. :)

Thank you for the lovely rec! (Which reminds me, I started a short sequel to this particular Jack/Giles story which I really ought to have another look at and get finished!)

You are most welcome, I love flying the flag for lovely work. And yay for a sequel - I'll keep my eye out for it as and when you feel moved to get back to it. :)
