Title: Lost in a Fogbank
Characters: Spike/Buffy, Giles
Prompt: Evangeline
Words 120
Disclaimer: Not my characters

“Buffy… I..”

“Not now, Giles.” She sighed, a long half silent intake of air, which choked on the pain in her side, making her screw her face up in more than loss. “Maybe not ever.”

“I couldn’t see it. So long in the Council… simply unheard of…” He held his glasses stiffly in his hands and she looked up into his face, saw every year that he’d lived written there, saw her own tired and lost look reflected in his eyes.

“Giles, please. He doesn’t deserve this. We don’t deserve this. Let it go, now. He’s a hero and he saved the world for us. Surely that’s worth more than all the Council ever spent on you.”

Yes, I agree. So this is post chosen? Or post her finding out about his soul? Whatever it is, I liked to read it ^^

Post Chosen, lol, but it could be for either now that you've pointed it out. Thank you, my dear. :D

Poor old Giles. Hard to let go of old truths.

It sure is, particularly as we get older. Thanks for reading. :D

I always hope that at some point they'll reconcile, but I don't know that it'll ever be possible. Nice use of the prompt.

I hope for them as well. He let her down so many times, though. Thank you. :D
