Official Dates

We're happy to announce the dates for this year's writing event‼️

Prompts will be released on the 1st of July

The event officially opens on the 1st of August and will run until the 30th of September.

Special Note

While the event runs between August and September, it will remain open for any late submissions. But note, any work submitted after the 30th of September might not be featured here on this page, and will not be included in the round up that follows immediately after. It will, however, be included in future round ups or "Favourite Pick" events.

In the following weeks leading up to the 1st of July, we'll be reminding everyone of the event rules. All important information will be available on this page or the AO3 Collection.

Any further questions don't hesitate to pop us an ASK, and either @guin-ramble or @thecrazyknight will get back to you.

Rated E | 18,315 words | Her name is always the first thing borne in ink. | # long one shot # slow burn # friends to lovers # unrequited love # abiding love # soul bond # watchers and slayers # watchers journals # he falls first but she falls harder

This story was inspired by a post I saw on Twitter/X that read: "i always write her name to test a pen". Song lyrics at the start (and fic title) are from Bastille's "Poet" which has always struck me as one of those perfect Giles songs.

Happy Holidays, everyone! ❤️ 2025 was... something. I'm sorry for the insane delay for an update here - I absolutely did not intend to pull a "Stranger Things" on this. After a long year of intermittently poking at this chapter, it's finally ready to share with you. I wish for you all to find moments of peace, joy, and love in 2026. I am so immensely grateful for those of you who've shared your love and appreciation for this story over the years, and those of you continuing to stick it out with me through these last few chapters. xx

CHAPTER 49: Chapter 48 (Showtime, Potential) | word count: 13,465 | Chapter Rating: E | Specific Warnings: jealous Giles, BG predictable alone-time shenanigans, canon-level combat violence

Surrender To You Fic Trailer

Chapter 1 | Chapter 2

A collaborative effort between me (the_crazy_knight) and @guin-ramble has resulted in some of the most enjoyable experiences I've had on a project. I can take no credit for the wonderful tapestry Guin has woven in Surrender to You, but it has deeply inspired me to branch out into more creative areas of fandom content.

I don't claim to be a professional, and this was simply a fun collaborative effort for the Buffy x Giles Writing Event.

Rupert Giles + Swords

[unendingwanderlust]

Inspired by the picture and quote prompts of the @buffyxgileswritingevent (see moodboard above). Let's take a trip down memory lane through history with Buffy and Giles...

TITLE: Time and Time Again RATING: M WARNINGS: It's a reincarnation fic, so lots of death. Not permanent, though! Suicide, execution, and off-screen torture too. RELATIONSHIPS: Buffy Summers/Rupert Giles

SUMMARY: Five lives, two souls, one love.

Or: a Slayer and her Watcher across their many lifetimes together.

BIIIG FAN of wish universe Buffy and Giles❤️

Idk they’re cool.. I kinda wonder how they’d interact with themselves from the show universe since we get to see Willow meet Willow and all that
