Anya: So, what kind of place are you looking for?
Spike: I don't know. Maybe a crypt. Some place, you know, dark and dank. But not as dark and dank as this.
Anya: It's pretty depressing, isn't it?
Spike: I've known corpses with a fresher smell. In fact, I've been one.

The Dark Mage
This is a story I started writing a few years ago. I just added a new chapter today.
Title: The Dark Mage
Author: Sdhuskerfan
Characters: Rupert Giles, Ethan Rayne (for now)
Pairings: Mostly Giles/Ethan
Rating: AO3 Explicit
Word count: 22,677 so far
Summary: This is my take on what happened between Ripper and Ethan in the mid-1970s, based off of the series BTVS, and a few things I have read on various wiki pages. I have not read any of the comic books or novels published after the show.

Descent into Darkness
This is rather dark for Summer of Giles I'm afraid, but it's written as a beginning to more stories I intend to write.
