TITLE: Before Summary: Before he went to Sunnydale, Giles had some family matters to attend to. Rating: PG-13 Warnings/Notes: I did this for leni_ba's "Choose Your Author" ficathon. The master list is here.
What a charming backstory. You took the core of what we had been told about Giles' past and wove it through his emotions and self-reflection in a very natural way.
Who does a man without a family put in the blank on the emergency contact card? Who do I put, now? Why Mick of course!
I doubt it. He and Ethan parted on very bad terms and he'd hardly want someone who was involved in the events of his youth that caused his father such pain to be listed as his emergeny contact. Besides, surely he didn't know where Ethan was by this time.
I'm quite fond of Ethan. He's a useful character. I used him to great effect in my first fanfic.
