This is the backstory from Ripples on a Hellmouth of how Giles and Anyanka got together.
During Band Candy, Ripper heads out to the Fishbowl instead of staying home with Joyce to gorge on enchanted chocolate. And so begins his whirlwind romance with Anyanka the vengeance demon.
Two months after the events of Hurricane Mitch, Anyanka heeds the call for vengeance at Sunnydale High. Because it’s absolutely the best way to get the job done, she infiltrates the school as a supply teacher. But why on earth would Ripper Giles be there?
Rupert can’t believe his good luck in getting a second chance.
Like all of the Further Tales, this can be read as a stand-alone ‘what if’, but the Ballad stories are best read together.
Leading immediately on from If Wishes Were Horses, Anyanka knows something has to change in their relationship, and finally grants The Wish. But when she meets the Wishverse's version of Giles, he’s not at all what she expected.
Like all of the Further Tales, this can be read as a stand-alone ‘what if’, but the Ballad stories are best read together.
