Five Giles-shorts drabbles plus one Gilesy one-shot

[feliciacraft.livejournal.com]

I'm a fan of the giles_shorts community, especially the "first line last line" challenge, where the last line from someone else's drabble becomes your first sentence. It takes a lot of discipline, something our favorite Watcher would surely have approved.

For your divertion, may I present five drabbles inspired by prompts from Giles-shorts:

The next one is a triple-drabble about Willow, because the author is an adamant rule breaker. ;) Included here because it, too, was inspired by a Giles-shorts prompt:

And for the plus one, should you now be in the mood for more Giles-centric stories (I hope), may I present a Giles one-shot I can't get out of my head, a gem of a story:

Looks like a really good list! The "first line, last line" challenge sounds like it would be a lot of fun for a writer (and a reader)!

Yeah, it was a lot of fun! Some last lines seemed impossible, until a writer jumped in to spin a new interpretation.

Sounds like a great challenge! Looks like there's something wrong with the link to Sparrow's story.

Ah, an extra quote character. Fixed! Thanks. :)

Super drabbles.

And thank you so much for the lovely rec - grinning like mad here :)

Some great recs here. I love how you made it "stories inspired by Giles shorts prompts" so you could include mine even though it's not a Giles story! ;-)
