It belatedly occurs to me that two of my own Gargoyles fics are set either before the series premiere or just after it, and might offer some additional context as you wade in. Both of these are reasonably short, and neither presumes canon knowledge.
When the Bat in the Moonlight Flies is a brief crossover, in which we find Jenny Calendar from the Buffyverse working tech support in Manhattan just as the gargoyles are waking up 100-odd stories directly overhead. Your tourguide is Owen Burnett, right-hand man to David Xanatos - but is he a mild-mannered teddy bear or a shark in Armani clothing? Opinions differ....
And I Do Mean Yours jumps a bit farther back in time, looking in on Owen and Xanatos early in their relationship as they work out the best way to profit from an unusual semi-Shakespearean forgery.
