Is it part of her Rulesverse, or an independent story? I can see that scenario happening, and she's a master of Giles-fic. "I'm sworn to protect this sorry world."
I love the scene with him and Buffy in First Date, "I hope you're right" - there's the weight of so much history hanging in the air between them (excuse the lousy mixed metaphor), and they are both so world-weary that my heart breaks for the two of them.
Not quite the same thing, I recently read a post-NFA fic in which Giles is bashed as a villain for not helping when Angel called to save Fred (and having not seen AtS I only know what I read about the show online), so I know that's canon that he rejected Angels call for help - which strikes me as a plot convenience - but not quite the same thing, is it? The crossover possibilities with those two shows are endless - or could have been. It's interesting to see what Joss would have made of a merge of the two worlds (on tv, not the comics.)
YES to the icon choice! BTW - is Giles kissing Anya in your icon? I wanted to say Jenny at first, but he and Jenny never kissed onscreen, did they? I sort of wish Giles/Anya had happened onscreen - the comedy they mined in just one episode was pure gold. Then again, I shipped Giles/Joyce as well. Apparently when it comes to Giles I'm not monogamous. :)
