5 Great 2018 Summer of Giles fics

[sparrow2000.livejournal.com]

Since we're on our flash forward, I'll start with some recs from one of my favourite annual communities - summer_of_giles

Giles/Cordelia is not a pairing that I automatically think about, but I’m always surprised how well it can work if done well and in aadler’s Better Left Unspoken, it is done very, very well. These are snapshots of Giles and Cordelia through the Sunnydale High years and beyond in a way that makes me both laugh out loud, and made my heart hurt. This is good stuff.

( More lovely Giles stuff )

Join along in our Flashforward Weekend!

5 Poems from "The Slayer Verses" by Kim Wade

[thenewbuzwuzz]

It turns out a poet by the name of Kim Wade has a Wordpress blog ''The Slayer Verses'' at buffypoetry.com (btw, it's possible to subscribe to updates via Dreamwidth), where she has been steadily posting BtVS-inspired poems since last year. I admire her knack for picking an image or a moment out of each episode (often a less than obvious pick) and creating something original that can end up very tonally different from how we usually see the episode & can sometimes loop back towards canon to illuminate themes from new angles. Below are five of my favorites that she posted this year. They are all worksafe.

A Mixed Bag of Works Nominated at the 2018 Headline Awards

[dragonyphoenix]

These works may or may not have been posted in 2018 but they were all nominated for the 2018 Headline Awards which celebrates the works of Anthony Head, the actor who played Giles. And that last bit probably goes without saying. If you have any favorite works featuring Giles, I'm certain GilesCandy would love to see you nominate for the Headline Awards.

Of course I can't say these are the best works nominated for the Headline Awards because there are too many great works to pick from but these are all works that spoke to me.

1. GilesCandy's video Hallelujah.She picked images covering all the seasons that go so well with the song.
