Title: The Archivist
Characters: Buffy/Giles
Rating: PG-13
He is still, always, the record-keeper, all their apocalypses mapped on his skin. In darkness the whorls and ridges of his scars are like Braille under her fingertips: a star at his temple, five small sunken ovals around a too-smooth circle on his chest, a long, thick, twisted snake along his left side. Stripes on his back, odd uneven lines on his fingers, countless lumps beneath his hair. Gwendolen Post, she whispers, Willow, the Knights. When her hand covers his, he grips it hard and kisses her harder,stilling her lips before she can continue: Angel, Angel, Angel.

Much better than dragonback and wars.
Golly.

The dragonback and wars stuff (His Majesty's Dragon, Throne of Jade, and The Black Powder War, by Naomi Novik) is all quite diverting to read, though, and I recommend the books highly, although I have only read the first one and barely started the second.
