Pride and Prejudice and...Buffy? by blue_sweater_spike

Summary
Buffy and books are usually non-mixy things. Not because she doesn't like reading; she would if she had time, or so she tells herself. But a slayer's life doesn't leave much room for the enjoyment of literature, not when there are so many other things to do like study, slay, try to find time to spend with her friends and boyfriend, and wrangle her kid sister who just arrived in town. But an encounter with a strange librarian and a special edition of Pride and Prejudice just for Buffy is about to change that. When Buffy, her friends, and a few enemies find themselves trapped in the plot of Jane Austen's beloved novel, the only way out is to embrace their roles and reach the end--or be trapped indefinitely. It doesn't help that they all keep forgetting their old lives in Sunnydale. Well, almost everyone. Spike seems immune. Moreover he seems to know the plot like the back of his hand--and he isn't happy to discover he's been cast as Mr. Darcy. Especially when he finds out the Slayer is playing Elizabeth Bennet.
Will the creature keeping them in the story stick to script, or will the plot thicken in unexpected ways?Bookmarked by petemac
