Mistletoe and Wine
By Kerry Blackwell

TITLE: Mistletoe and Wine (Part 0/12)
AUTHOR: Kerry Blackwell
PAIRING: B/G (among others)
RATING: G
DISCLAIMER: All things Buffy belong to Joss Whedon, the WB, FOX and Mutant Enemy and 20th Century Fox Film Corporation. I own only my genius (yeah, right!)
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I have made an effort to include ALL of Gileswench's challenge requirements into this story, although you will see as it progresses that I've twisted a couple of them to make them fit. Hey, this is a fun fic and that's the fun of fanfic. See if you can find them all. Oh yeah, and Angel is in this. I'm sorry, sue me, but I like him and he wanted to join in the Christmas festivities so I let him. Don't worry though, this is a happy fic and he won't be causing any problems for Buffy and Giles. (Or none of the kind you might expect, anyway.) Hopefully, I'll be posting a part a day until Christmas (using my time zone, so it'll be a day earlier for most of you) with an extra (not Buffy/Giles but a sidenote to the rest of the story) on Boxing Day. Hope you enjoy this piece of Christmas confusion.
DISTRIBUTION: Eventually (probably like January some time when I've had a chance to rest and catch up) on my site - White Hats - http://www.forty-two.co.nz/whitehats. Gabi if you want them. Any one else please ask first
FEEDBACK: Well, I'm certainly not going to complain! :-)

The challenge:

Okay folks, it's been too quiet around here lately so I'm posting a Christmas challenge. It's due by Boxing day (December 26, for those unfamiliar).

Pairing: B/G (how do you spell "duh"?)

Rating: Any. Be as naughty or nice as you please.

Must include ALL of the following: A non-traditional use for a candy cane, either Giles or Wesley telling someone: "You know, when I take off my glasses, you're beautiful", Giles playing his guitar, a home made Christmas gift.

Must include at least THREE (3) of the following: Alternate lyrics to a Christmas Carol, somebody watching a well-known holiday movie or tv show, Anya misinterpreting a Christmas tradition, Buffy and Giles patrolling together, a lump of coal in someone's Christmas stocking, Buffy crying.

There it is, folks. Good luck, and have fun!
