~mpoetess [Added: 09/21/04 | Giles Ethan ]This is something very different and very good. It is the story of Giles’ life- from the perspective of a tree. Of course, this is not just any tree- it’s an English tree, filled with a magic so deep most humans will never know it’s magic at all. Rupert certainly didn’t know, not when he was a boy and carved his name in her skin, and not when he was a young man searching for peace and place and purpose. Ethan, well Ethan always was a crafty bastard, and he recognized the magic when he saw it- or maybe he recognized the magic because he shared the same need as the tree. No matter- Giles grew up and Giles went away. The tree, she stayed and she waited and eventually, she learned: Something new about love, or something old rather, that she hadn’t had words for before, though she’d been living it all along. Something she’d never had time to teach before she sent her own seed far away: if love does not come back, you go to it.
This? Is simply wonderful. Any lover of Giles, or words, or fanfic will see the appeal. It’s slow and it’s distant and it unravels the years slowly as they pass, all the while giving us a very interesting perspective on Giles and his life. Really, really unique.
