The chances are good that you find Spike, or Giles, or both, hot.
If you do, you wonât get any arguments from me, and although some
people share Buffyâs belief that Giles having a private life is not
allowed ‘...because youâre very, very old, and itâs grossâ (‘The
Freshmanâ 4.1), most of us are more likely to marvel at the lack of
action he sees, considering what heâs like. And Spike defines ‘hotâ for
too many fans for me to need to waste time describing his blue eyes,
set in that inclined to the side head, with those chiselled...Yes. Well.
So theyâre hot (and also witty, snarky, Englishmen who know their
bullocks from their bollocks, and are capable of inspiring, and
experiencing, passion, loyalty and love), but are they hot
together? And here, it seems, most people tend to
look baffled and back away, because as ‘ships go, Giles/Spike just
isnât one of the better known ones.
You donât know what youâre missing.
Like many people, my first introduction to slash was Spike/Xander. I
was hooked, adored the pairing (still do!) and I embarked on an epic
S/X fic shortly after. It wasnât until mid-way through the sequel that
I introduced Giles into the fic, and it was then that my problems began.
Giles and Spike wouldnât stop flirting, you see. Fighting, snarking,
getting close - and then getting yanked apart by the scruff of their
necks as I tried to remember this was an S/X fic, darn it. It ended up
with me scrapping two chapters, gritting my teeth and finishing it at a
gallop.
Then I let go of them, and watched them smack into each other like a
magnet and a fridge.
Sure, canonically you get matchstick splinters to work with rather than
the two by four planks of subtext weâve learned, through interviews and
DVD commentaries, were deliberately left lying around to shore up other
pairings, but that just makes it more of a challenge. If you wanted
easy, you shouldâve ‘shipped Snyder/Flutie.
And yes, thereâs the trifling matter that itâs not until ‘Pangsâ 4.8
that theyâre shown talking to each other (yes, really) and
fine, Giles connives with Wood to get Spike killed
in season seven, but, in all seriousness, show me a major pairing where
that hasnât happened.
And anyway, Giles keeps Spike tied to a chair or chained in his
bathtub, feeding him blood from a mug bearing the hint,
request, plea, command slogan, ‘Kiss the Librarianâ, and goes
from asking Spike sarcastically if heâs going to ‘lick me to death?â
to, in the same breath, telling Willowâs answer phone, rather
plaintively that, ‘Iâd like to shower sometime today. Alone.â
(‘Something Blueâ 4.9). We get some planks.
So what makes a pairing attractive in general? Iâd say, because I love
alliteration, ‘canon and chemistryâ. Then Iâd shuffle my feet and admit
that canon isnât vital, or you wouldnât have the, often excellent and
persuasive, fics that pair characters never shown to be on the same
show, let alone in the same room. Or rather, it isnât the canon of the
charactersâ interaction thatâs important when it comes to writing fic,
as much as the canon of what those characters are like; how they
behave, how they react, who they are.
The showâs writers couldnât and didnât pair everyone and anyone the way
we fic writers do, but what they did was create characters that
gravitate towards each other when set in free motion, and when they
bump, their interlocking parts fit very nicely thank you. Giles and
Spike, for me, are two pieces of green and blue puzzle and just when
youâre thinking, nah, they donât fit, you stare at the picture on the
box in precisely the right way and realise that itâs that wave, just
where the sun hits it, or maybe that piece of carpet sticking out from
under the chair with the black cat on it...
So if canon is helpful, within limits, letâs look at the other
component.
Chemistry. A zing, a fizz and a tingle when theyâre together; a sense
that as soon as weâre not looking theyâre moving purposefully toward
each other and is that a sharply bitten off gasp as someone falls to
their knees and a zip gets tugged down? Now thatâs something you have
to decide yourself. I get it from this pairing, and have from the time
I stumbled, an avowed reader of Spike/Xander and nothing else will do,
onto ‘Tea and Biscuitsâ and emerged, dazed, hours later, horizons
irrevocably broadened, opinion changed.
I canât convince you to drool - shanât try - but I can try and explain
what these two can offer each other.
However, and Iâm sure Giles would approve, as it comes first
alphabetically, letâs start with canon. Way too much G/S interaction to
include it all here but letâs see what stands out.
Canon or Friends Help Friends (even when they're mortal
enemies).
Canonically, Giles is a Watcher; his life pledged and dedicated to
helping fight vampires. Even when heâs fired and marginalised as Buffy
grows beyond needing him, that early training holds. Spike, evil,
chipped or souled, is a vampire and Giles never forgets that; he never
can. And yippee, score...weâve got doomed lovers here, people, and a
forbidden love because if a Slayer and a vampire getting, uh, close,
raises eyebrows, do you really think a Watcher and a vampire would get
an approving smile and a pat on the head?
Giles, youâd think, would be the last person Spike would ever turn to
when he needed help, the last person, given his history, to extend a
hospitable hand of friendship...but Spike does and Giles is - and it
goes both ways.
Letâs look at the canonical facts. At a time when Spike is at his
lowest ebb to date; newly chipped, and as yet unaware that he can hurt
demons, he goes to Gilesâ house for sanctuary, and he does it on
Thanksgiving; a time celebrating the rescue of the hungry, starving,
yet still potentially threatening, English settlers by their perceived
adversaries, the rightful owners of the land. And Giles, cautiously,
suspiciously, with rope in one hand and a stake in the other, invites
him in, houses and feeds him and only sends him away when Oliviaâs
visit is imminent. Yes, Iâm mentioning Olivia. She happened. Sheâs
real. Sheâs canon.
But so (though it wasnât, sadly, for long) was Spike chained in the
tub. Oh, the fics that have been written about that one brief shining,
really very short time, when Spike and Giles lived together! Masses of
them, and if someone tells you that, like
Spike-tied-to-a-chair-in-Xanderâs-basement, thereâre too many
Spike-chained-in-Gilesâ-bath fics out there, just pat them gently and
walk away fast before the madness spreads to engulf you too.
Walk away - and then pause at ‘A New Manâ 4.10 in which an amused,
vaguely sympathetic Spike helps Fyarl!Giles escape from the Initiative
and regain his former status; an interesting parallel with Spikeâs own
experiences, as heâs now discovered some balm in Gilead and, able to
defend himself from demons, has exchanged the dank darkness of Xanderâs
basement for a cosy crypt with no view. We see the dynamic shift;
theyâre no longer adversaries and Spikeâs no longer the weaker of the
two; Giles is vulnerable, Giles is demonic, misunderstood and
hunted...and Spike is his mentor, guide and rescuer.
In extremis, as Iâll show, these two help each other out. Itâs not
always for the best of motives (in this case, itâs cash that drives
Spikeâs helpfulness) and itâs sometimes a side effect rather than a
motivating force ( as in ‘Becoming Part twoâ 2.22 when Spike intervenes
to stop Angelus killing Giles because itâs one of the conditions Buffy
made when she agreed to spare Drusilla) but itâs a constant.
And it leads, in ‘The I in Teamâ 4.13, to Giles being Spikeâs first
visitor in his new crypt to pay him the three hundred dollars he
promised him. More than that, after some snarking, which these two
thoroughly enjoy, and it shows, we have the following exchange.
Giles: 'Thinking about your, uh, affliction, and your newfound
discovery that you can fight only demons, it occurs to me that - I
realise this is completely against your nature but I-I - has it
occurred to you that there may be a higher purpose -‘
[Spike, who has been counting the money and lost his place, snaps at
him, clearly indifferent, and Giles, defeated, turns away.]
Spike: ‘This bit of business wraps up any I got with you and your
Slayerettes. From here on I want nothing to do with the lot of you.â
Giles: ‘Your choosing to remain in Sunnydale might make that a little
difficult.â
Spike: ‘Well you and yours will just have to show a little restraint is
all. Get out.â
Giles head for the door and Spike follows him.
Spike: ‘And I donât want you crawling back here knocking on my door
pleading for help the second teen witchâs magic goes all wonky, or
little Xander cuts a new tooth. Weâre through. You got it?â
Giles opens the door and the sunlight streams in, making Spike flinch.
He looks a little hurt as he glances back at Spike, who says callously,
Spike: ‘Honeymoon is over.â
Giles leaves silently.
So much in that to think about. Giles, the Watcher, thanking a vampire,
and repaying a debt of honour. Giles offering said vampire a chance to
fight on the side of good, and suggesting that perhaps Spikeâs current
predicament/situation, is down, not to a chance meeting with the
Initiative troops, but the machinations of the Powers - which,
considering what happens later in season seven might very well be the
case. Giles making it plain that Spike is different; offering him in
fact a position not too far away from the one Angel occupied.
And consider the language used by Spike, who, it seems is protesting a
little too much when he pushes Giles away; ‘weâre throughâ,
‘honeymoonâs overâ, ‘donât come crawling back to meâ, ‘want nothing
more to do with youâ... all classic phrases used when a couple fight
and
break up.
And Spikeâs declaration of independence lasts... oh, not long at all.
The next day, engulfed in a blanket and pursued, not by bears but the
Initiative soldiers who, in addition to the chip, have just planted a
tracking device in him, he heads for Giles, rather like a homing pigeon
himself. Once again, heâs asking for help and though Giles is still
stinging from being rejected, he gives it. Eventually.
Giles: ‘And how is this our concern? Seeing as how youâve
expressed the desire to have nothing more to do with us?â
Spike goes for sympathy by shrugging off his coat and showing Giles
that heâs been shot; Giles isnât impressed and, ignoring Xander and
Anya, asks softly, making it personal,
Giles: ‘Remind me. Why should I help you?â
Spike: ‘Because you do that. Youâre the goody-good guys. Youâre the
bloody freaking cavalry.â
Giles: ‘No, you can come up with a better answer than that. Why should
I help you?â
Spike [has a brainwave]: ‘Ooh! Because I helped you! When you turned
into that Fyarl demon, I helped you, didnât I?â
Giles: ‘And that was out of the uh, evilness of your heart?â
Spike [positively chortling at the very idea] ‘Oh, hell, no! I made you
pay me [grin drops away as Giles looks implacable]. You right bastard.â
[Gets out crumpled remnants of Gilesâ cash and slaps it into Gilesâ
waiting hand]
Again, the balance shifts. Spike might initially think Giles is weak,
because heâs ‘goodâ, but Giles keeps on proving that he might be
merciful but heâs not going to be a pushover. Spike needs that
reassurance of strength; itâs what heâs used to from Angel.
We then cut to Spike, bare-chested and bent over a chair while Giles
stands behind him, probing him gently - look, he is, okay? Would I make
this up? Actually, as Xander and Anya hold flashlights. Giles is trying
to get the bullet out of Spike and discovering that itâs more than a
bullet; itâs a tracking device.
Spike, as a vampire, can withstand a lot of pain and will heal rapidly,
so itâs worth noting that Giles offers his own cognac to dull the pain,
and later tells Spike that it would be ‘wiseâ if he left Sunnydale.
Spike refuses; heâs not going
until the chipâs removed. Showing his awareness of the oddness of his
desire to help Spike, Giles says,
Giles: ‘Spike - Lord knows why Iâm telling you this - itâs
for your own good. As long as the Initiative is in operation, itâs not
safe for you here.â
And weâve reached a point where Giles cares about Spikeâs safety. Weâve
come a long way in a short time...and weâll go further, but before I
skip on to the end of season five, Iâll pause at a time when Giles is
having to deal with the fact (and itâs no use trying to avoid it when
youâre writing this pairing because itâs useful, sort of) that Spike is
obsessed with/in love with Buffy.
In ‘I Was Made to Love Youâ 5.15â Giles, always protective of Buffy,
rejects Spike, warns him off, threatens him - and intimidates him
physically. Giles isnât happy about Spikeâs crush, isnât happy at all.
And if a fanfic writer wanted to speculate that Giles had other reasons
for feeling unhappy at this point than Buffyâs safety, well thatâs
absolutely fine because the scene is one where Spike and Giles might as
well be alone for all the attention they pay to the Scoobies; itâs the
two of them, eyes locked, totally focused on each other.
Giles [takes off his glasses, moves closer] ‘Spike, listen to
me.â
Spike : ‘Itâs just - Iâm trying to explain. She mightâve said some
things that sounded like I expressed some kind of feeling -‘
Giles shoves Spike hard and he stumbles against a bookcase, Giles
follows him, glaring.
Giles: ‘We are not your friends. We are not your way to Buffy. There is
no way to Buffy.â He picks up Spikeâs blanket and slams it into his
chest. He gets very close and stares at Spike. ‘Clear out of here. And,
Spike - this thing? Get over it.â
Spike: ‘Donât know what you mean.â
Giles: ‘Yes you do. Move the hell on.â
Once more we see Spike, desperate because heâs revealed his feelings
and been summarily barred from Buffyâs house, turning to Giles to make
it all right again. Heâs in trouble and Giles, thinking, not without
some justification, that Buffy will never return Spikeâs love,
does help him by trying to make it as brutally plain
as possible that itâs never going to happen. He tries.
And Spike, humiliated, leaves...but he doesnât move on in the way that
Giles meant, instead he continues to change to become someone that
Giles can share this moment with in ‘The Giftâ 5.22.
Buffy delivers a terse warning that sheâll kill anyone who
comes near Dawn and Spike and Giles exchange glances.
“Well, not exactly the St Crispinâs Day speech, was it?” Spike remarks
dryly.
“âWe few, we happy few...â” Giles murmurs in reply.
“We band of buggered,” Spike finishes, capping and personalising the
quotation.
Three lines that say so much. In the first place, itâs a nice reminder
that Spike isnât your average vampire. Heâs alluding to an event in
English history - one probably no one else in the room would know much
about, but Giles, when King Henry V rallied his army as they prepared
to fight the French at Agincourt in 1415. Giles responds, not with the
usual dismissal of Spike with a terse, impatient put-down as Xander and
Buffy are so fond of doing, but by quoting ironically from the
Shakespearian play, ‘Henry Vâ, obviously expecting Spike to be familiar
with it - and indeed he is, to the extent that he can not only cap the
quotation, but give it a typically irreverent twist.
Even more than that, if we look at more of the quotation, in its
unsullied form, itâs particularly apposite.
This story shall the good man teach his son,
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by
From this day to the ending of the world
But we in it shall be remembered,
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.
For he today that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition.
Henry V Act 4, Scene 3
‘The ending of the worldâ...thatâs something they both know a lot
about. Spike, for all his activities with the Judge, drew the line at
Angelusâ plans to finally bring an end to ‘this scepter'd isle, This
earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise,â
or, in his own words, the home of Manchester United, and Giles has been
instrumental in halting many plans designed to bring about an (itâs
never ‘theâ on BtVS or Angel, is it?) apocalypse.
‘Band of brothersâ. Well, if the Scooby gang is anything, itâs a
family. Dysfunctional at times, and Spikeâs the black sheep, neâer do
well whose nameâs been well and truly crossed out of the family Bible,
but yes, brothers in arms.
‘Sheds his bloodâ...this really is the sine qua non.
Theyâll all bleed that night, from wounds both physical and spiritual
and, as Spike tells them, with a weary certainty, ‘...itâs always got
to be blood [...] Itâs what keeps you going, makes you warm, makes you
hard - makes you other than dead.â
And finally, the implication that if Spike ranges himself on their side
in this fight he, ‘Shall be my brother; be he neâer so vileâ; his
‘conditionâ will be ‘gentledâ
And so, at last, we have Giles and Spike not asking for, or offering
help to each other, but standing as equals, side by side, to fight evil
- and itâs not just during that one battle, as we see when season six
opens.
We donât get to see the summer following Buffyâs death. We donât get to
see what forms the foundation for so many Giles/Spike fics, and rightly
so; the time when, as they did separately over Joyceâs death, Giles and
Spike unite in guilt and grief to mourn Buffy. We know that it brought
them closer though; before Giles leaves in the first episode of season
six, weâre treated to a night patrol of the graveyard with Giles and
Spike fighting together, exchanging gibes (Spike calls Giles, ‘an
over-the-hill shopkeeperâ and, after saving Gilesâ life, helps him to
his feet, drawling, ‘Oh, poor Watcher. Did your life pass before your
eyes? Cuppa tea, cuppa tea, almost got shagged, cuppa tea?â) made
affectionate by tone of voice and body language, and laughing
together when Taraâs being particularly cute.
Later in the season, in a nod to ‘Restless 4.22â, we get ‘Tabula Rasaâ
6.8 and Giles and Spike deciding that, what with the ‘ruggedly handsome
resemblanceâ Anya comments on, and the accents, they are, in fact,
father and son. Despite the feeling of ‘familiarityâ and
‘disappointmentâ Giles feels on looking at ‘Randy Gilesâ, despite
‘Randyâsâ bitter certainty that he hates his father, the last thing
they do - and they wonât meet again until way into season seven - is
hug. Awkwardly, brusquely, with an embarrassed cough to cover the
emotions, but they hug.
And the next time Giles sees Spike, heâs souled, heâs killed again,
under the Firstâs influence, and Giles is driven, after trying, one
final time, to help Spike by determining the root of the trigger the
First is using, into plotting to kill him. Itâs canon, it canât be
ignored and, looked at objectively, with Spike refusing to cooperate in
sharing the details of the trigger, itâs the sort of difficult decision
Giles is trained to make - but, like Buffyâs decision to kill Anya in
‘Selflessâ 7.5, itâs made hastily and it seems out of character.
Because Giles and Spike? They help each other. Itâs what they do.
Chemistry or My God, itâs Giles and Spike
and no, you canât have too much of a good thing.
Iâve tried to show that, in canon, thereâs a definite connection
between these two; never all sweetness and light, no, but who wants
that anyway? Now itâs time to consider it from another angle; why do
they work in fic? How do they work in fic? Are there any constants, any
fanon traditions with this pairing?
Iâll start with the last and say; yes. Keep Buffy dead after ‘The
Giftâ. Not always, but often, and for the fairly obvious reason that
with her dead, Spike and Giles have a reason to bond, and with her
alive, sheâd be an obstacle to any relationship because Spike loves
her, Giles cares for her opinion, and sheâd be, letâs be kind and say
‘disturbedâ, by the thought of them together.
Examples of this include ‘Tea and Biscuitsâ, ‘Paving Stonesâ and
‘Behind Closed Doorsâ. The last I wrote, and Iâm mentioning it with the
other two fics because they were the first G/S fics I read and, to a
large extent, they exemplified what appeals to me in this pairing so
much that I used the AU twist of Buffyâs death being final myself. It
felt right.
As to why they work, apart from being a joy to write because of the way
they play off each other, they have, if they stop to realise it, each
got something to give the other.
Itâs a crowded relationship, you see. Standing behind Giles with a
wistful, mocking smile is Ethan, standing behind Spike, frowning with
disapproval, is Angel - standing between them is Buffy, loved by both
and a barrier because of that; but this pairing isnât a faded copy, a
retread or necessarily doomed; itâs a second chance for both of them.
Think about this; as Iâve said, itâs not until ‘Pangsâ that Giles and
Spike really meet. Giles is aimless and bored; Spikeâs defanged and
desperate. In that episode, though they never meet because I imagine
Spike would prefer to step out in the noonday sun rather than have
Angel see him in this state, Angel returns to Sunnydale. Angel. Spikeâs
former mentor, former lover, former role model. Giles and Angel will
never meet again, Spike and Angelâs next meeting is nearly four years
away, but take a snapshot; Giles and Spike are inside, with Spike bound
to Giles; Angelâs outside, barred from entering. Spikeâs found a new
... well, I want to say ‘ownerâ, I really do...
Giles can be strong enough, as Angel was, to keep Spike in check,
ruthless enough to apply pressure when needed, and yet is prepared to
accept Spike as a companion, an equal in time. They speak the same
language, both literally,
Spike: ‘Oh, listen to Mary Poppins! Heâs got his crust all
stiff and upper with that nancy-boy accent. You Englishmen are always
so...[realisation dawns] Bloody hell! Sodding, blimey, shagging,
knickers, bollocks -oh God! Iâm English!â
Giles: ‘Welcome to the nancy tribe.â (‘Tabula Rasaâ 6.8)
and in the sense that both come from a similar class, have been
educated to a similar standard and could, if circumstances allowed,
probably get on pretty well. I can see them sitting reading quietly of
a night, once Spike relaxes enough to drop the tough boy act; I can see
them getting into some wonderfully articulate arguments on anything
from soccer to Socrates, I can see them getting out of their skull
smashed on single malt and having identical hangovers. I can see them
having fun.
And Giles, as we saw in ‘A New Manâ as he gets gloriously drunk with
Ethan, really does need some fun in his life.
And if itâs significant that Angelâs around when Spike first goes to
stay with Giles, itâs not long before Giles meets up with his old
friend and, though itâs never stated explicitly, probable lover. Ethan
returns, reminds Giles of all that they were - and by inference are no
longer - and then betrays Giles, transforms him, abandons him...and
itâs Spike who saves him, Spike who, one would think, would get on
quite well with Ethan and who, gleefully in love with living as he is,
can make Giles feel young again; remind him of his salad days running
wild around London, picking locks, hot-wiring cars and raising
hell...and Spike, unlike Ethan, is right there on Gilesâ doorstep and,
from season four onwards, apart from the odd incident
::cough::Adam::cough:: is fighting the good fight.
Spike is taboo...and not. Older than your average Scooby. Tough enough
in the post ‘The Giftâ fics to take whatever punishment Giles inflicts
in his grief (this is a pairing with more than a sprinkling of d/s
themed fics, including my own contributions; it seems to go with the
territory somehow) sensitive enough to notice all the pain, all the
bewilderment, all the guilt Giles is feeling, and be able to help
because heâs not, and never has been, your average vampire.
They can be good for each other.
This essay doesnât say all I wanted it to, but Iâve run out of time.
Lurking on my hard drive are thousands of abandoned words cut to make
this something of a readable length and Iâm filled with a gloomy
conviction that Iâve not done this pairing, that I adore, justice.
Tell you what; read the fics. They say it all so much better than I can.
