Last chapter. This was one of those stories I mentioned in the beginning that wouldn't be all neat and tidy.

TITLE: Casual Joys
AUTHOR: Eurydice
RATING: NC17, for sex
SUMMARY: New Year's Eve. Giles has moved on from the events of Los Angeles, but the past has a way of sneaking up on him...

Story begins here.

( Casual Joys, chapter 4 )

I had mentioned to people that the next installment was B/S. I was wrong. It's a Spike-centric one-shot. The B/S will likely come after that.

Thank you to everyone who's following me in my indulgence. You have no idea how much I appreciate knowing I'm not alone here. :)

Told you they were going to be fast updates...I kind of like having the story written first before posting anything, lol.

I have a confession to make. I fell in love with one of my own stories so much that I absolutely can't leave it alone. I know, I know, this is horribly narcissistic of me, and what's even worse is that I've succumbed to the temptation and actually scribbled out another installment to it.

The story in question? "This Wanton World." I have a 4-chapter story just waiting to be posted. And I'm going to start tonight.

A word of warning to anyone who read World: there are no easy solutions in this 'verse. Bad guys win all the time. Characters die. All your questions might not necessarily be answered by the ending. Oh, and not every installment is going to center around Buffy and/or Spike. In fact, what I've written/finished already doesn't have either one of them in it. It's Giles-centric. It does propel the story forward, but if you're reading for B/S, you're going to be disappointed. Not to say that it won't come in future installments, but it's not in this one.

So, I'm indulging my addiction by posting this. I hope one or two of you will come along for the ride.

DISCLAIMER: The characters are all Joss’. Chapter 1's title comes from The Doors' song, "Soul Kitchen."
PREVIOUSLY ON BUFFY: The world thinks Buffy Summers is dead. Because of Jutta’s Ring, the world has lost sight of Ethan Rayne. Rupert Giles, however, has to go on living in this particular world…
