That is nice, SA, and I don't like Buffy/Giles either.
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Oh, SA, how lovely. Way to work around the Evil Pairing, and make it right!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I'm hoping it works because it's not explicitly B/G, simply an acknowledgment of their relationship in its proper form whatever way the reader interprets it.
The requirement t shudder was "hot sex," which I blatantly ignored because there was no way on this earth I could have written it.

I got a read of affection, not groininess. Which I liked.(Is it vain if that also reminds me of that part in "Sweets" where Munch asks about the "deal" between Giles and Buffy, and what's it like to do Wonder Woman?)

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I picked that up as well. I think the problem I have with B/G is the same problem I have with 'shipping any trainee/mentor pairing, especially the ones that have such a strong parent-child feel to them. Plus, there's the fact that Giles and Joyce slept togther, which makes the whole idea of B/G just that much more squicksome.
I have a feeling, though, that if I'd started watching Buffy in, say, late S5, that I would be much less skeeved by the notion of the two of them getting together in "that way."

I don't know. I think I'd still be pretty skeeved. But it might simply be that my current skeeviness about it is overwhelming all other possibilities of non-skeeviness.
Oh, I like that word.

I started late...much less skeevy.(Not enough for ship-ness, you understand.) But you know, looking at linoleum makes Munch think about sex.

And yet? You're still not squicked by Cordy/Angel. Freak.
And I say that with love.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I think I'd still be pretty skeeved.

I can see people who see Giles as being the same age as their fathers being squicked by the idea of a 'ship, but he's my age, and I'm all over the sexiness that is Giles. Postulate a circumstance where Buffy is more than of age and they've moved past the most obvious mentor/student situation into more of a partnership, and I'm there. Call me a freak, I'm still going to read the stuff.
