Very nicely done, Steph. You capture their antagonism and their pain perfectly in this piece.
If Giles had known Angel was coming tonight he would have put Jenny’s photograph where her killer could see it.
That line just sums up everything between them.
Or he could talk about Tara washing Buffy’s broken body and combing her hair;
That image just gave me chills, in the best way. All of Giles' guilt and grief are visible in this one line.
The relationship between Angel and Giles is, to me, one of the most fascinating on the show because of the questions it raises. How do you forgive someone who has done such horrific things to you and the people you love? Can you find compassion for them, when faced with the fact that you, yourself, have done equally terrible things to others? This is a lovely exploration of those questions. Well done.
