Intermezzo by P.L. Poole
Timeline: Immediately after "Becoming, Part 2", the second season finale. Joyce Summers always seemed like such a nice person. But now Giles has to
find out what she knows about his Slayer's disappearance - and he's not
sure he's ready to give up anything of himself. Can the Watcher and the
Slayer's mother really have a civilized conversation over a cup of tea?
A Kiss for the Dying by Jeanne DeVore
Timeline: After "The Dark Age", the Eyghon episode, this is an alternate to the events in "Ted". The rest of the canon could fit with this story. The Watcher's past has reverberated into his present, alienating Jenny, and
making him feel ineffectual and powerless. Then a different kind of demon
comes to Sunnydale and Giles is more determined than ever to keep it away
from the people he cares about - even if he has to die.
Sophisticated Tastes by Elizabeth Carpenter
Timeline: After "Go Fish", with the swim team, this could have happened any time after the second season finale. The gang's all here - Buffy, Giles, Xander, Willow, Cordelia, and Oz -
fighting the new threat to Sunnydale. And each other. So what is it that
makes Cordelia attack Xander (besides force of habit)? And *who is* Giles'
newest neighbor?
The Shiver When You're Warm by Kate Nuernberg
Timeline: Immediately after "Prophecy Girl", the first season finale, this story takes place during that summer and offers an alternate to "When She Was Bad", the first episode of the second season. The rest of the season could follow in sequence. An unexpected respite has the Watcher and the Slayettes reevaluating their
roles in the fight against the undead. Then the new leader of the vampires
needs Buffy's blood to hold his power over his minions - and all Hellmouth
breaks loose.
