The Thought that Counts

Summary:

The mug origin story you didn’t know you needed...

Notes:

This has probably been done before (and better!) but I had to take care of this headcanon caused by “Something Blue” (S04 E09). Set probably some point between “Some Assembly Required” and “The Dark Age” in S02.

Work Text:

“Hey, England! Catch!”

Miraculously, Giles did.

“Hullo, Jenny. What’s this?”

“Your contact at the museum was tons of help. This is to show you my appreciation.”

It was a mug. Garish yellow, with “Kiss the Librarian” emblazoned on it. He regarded it with horror.

Seeing his expression, Jenny grinned, “Well, it’s the thought that counts, right?”

He raised his eyebrows. “And you thought, ‘He’ll absolutely hate this but feel compelled to use it anyway. I must purchase it forthwith.’”

She held her hands up. “Ok, you got me!”

Then her gaze turned molten. “Plus, I could always use a reminder.”
