1- The Giles Thing by [personal profile] drsquidlove: Finally, this awesome fic has an ending. Now, if you've never read Xander/Giles and want to venture into this pairing, this is the fic for you. I think what makes it so special is the parts where the writer focused on the Scoobies/Joyce/Tony's reaction to the ship, the relationship between the characters, growing up for Xander and his friends. And her Tony Harris will always be one of my favorites.


2- Xander and the Accidental Demonic Tattoo by [personal profile] drsquidlove: Xander has too much to drink at a party and wakes up with only dim memories of the end of the evening, and a new tattoo. Does it have demonic significance? Giles will know. (I'm not much of a PWP fan, but for this writer, I'll read anything, and I've enjoyed this, so hot.)

3- Something in the Middle by [personal profile] that_mireille: What do you do after the world doesn't end? Excellent character voices with very excellent lines, and of course the little details, I love it when writers throw in some little details here and there.

4- Arrivals and Departures by [personal profile] cmk418: It was in those moments of greetings and goodbyes that Xander and Giles connect. (I love how true this is in canon, reminds me of the airport scene in S6)

5- Tijuana for Two by [profile] anyjay: Summer between seasons 6 and 7. Slight spoilers for Grave. Xander’s phone call to Giles goes badly. Fortunately, the story doesn’t end there. A heart-squeezing with a nice ending fic.

Interesting to see the connection moments possible there between S6 and S7.

Wow! Thanks for the rec. This seems to be one of my most popular stories. I'm glad you liked it. And I'm flattered to be in such good company, because I love the other 4 fics, too.
