I've been staring at khaoschilde's new manipulation of young Giles all day. The Giles of "Gas-Ring Alchemy" looks like that, though he's a bit shaggier. Add to this her manip of young Ethan looking properly Seventies-haired, and you have 'em close to how I see them. (Both images are shirtless but otherwise worksafe.)

None of this has been helping me write anything in an unrelated storyline with an approaching-fifty Giles in Cleveland with a mop-headed Xander.

I'm working on tattooing, hand fetish, and the wild card prompt, and have "bondage" written but I'm completely unhappy with it. So I'm stuck. I need random input. Pick one more prompt for me to write, in the universe of those earlier Giles/Xander stories.
