One Too Many by Djinn1

A BTVS story

" When the death of a slayer affects Giles too much, Buffy is called to Cleveland by Faith."

I can see that the change between Giles and Buffy from an almost-professional to romantic relationship is a difficult transition and it isn't always handled very well in fics. This story, although short, makes the change appear seamless, and it's definitely the most natural portrayal of it that I've ever seen. The characters feel like they've been lifted straight from the show, and the dialogue, especially Faith's, is snappy, clever and absolutely perfect. A very enjoyable story, and for the pairing, surprisingly light on the angst. A must-read.
