Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-26332-5/Giles corrected her absently, “Jenny. I don‘t suppose you‘ve ever heard of something called a slayer?” He smiled when she tensed and glared at him. “I see that you have.”
Buffy sighed, “Let’s see, stuffy clothes and a British accent, I’m guessing watcher?”
He nodded, “Yes.”
She sighed, “Great, just what I need. As if the last one wasn‘t bad enough.”
“It’s a sacred calling.”
Buffy nodded, “I’ve heard the speech before, not all that impressed this time either. I came here because my mom decided L.A. wasn‘t safe, there was also this whole matter of not being able to go to school there anymore because I burned down a gym with vampires in it, but hey no one‘s perfect.”
He sighed, “It’s not something you can just walk away from.”
“I’m not going to walk away from it, but I don’t plan to be out there every night fighting the forces of darkness either. If you want me too, maybe you should consider paying me.”
He sputtered, “That’s not how it works. It‘s a sacred calling not a job.”
“You’re right, jobs you get paid for, you also get healthcare with the better ones. Some of them even have something called sick leave.”
He sputtered as Rose and Dawn walked back in, he switched mental tracks and tried to come up with something that wasn’t slayer related, “Did you pick all of your classes?”
Buffy laughed, “Hey guys, found my new watcher. Can I get a refund?”
Rose laughed as Giles sputtered even more, “I don’t think they give refunds. Though if you’re done, we should get going, we’ve got things to do.”
