I'm not sure if anyone's done it before, but it occurred to me the other day that Pride and Prejudice and Buffy might just be two great things that go great together. With that in mind I launched this little experiment, which has proven to be an immensely fun project so far. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I've enjoyed writing it.

Okay, I thought I'd go ahead and add an extra chapter tonight so ya'll can see some of the other characters and the setting in general. Hope it satisfies!

I'm back with another chapter! My goal is to post once a week, though I might be delayed by a day or two from time to time because of RL activities. But if anyone's wondering what to expect, that's the schedule I hope to keep.
Thank you so much to the people who have commented and liked my work so far! I hope the story continues to entertain and delight. Big thanks to fyreburned for pointing out a gaffe I made in my first chapter so I could quickly correct it, and also for giving me the period-appropriate name for an article of clothing in the second! As Pride and Prejudice is set in Regency England, I will be trying to give this work the general look and feel of the period but I may not always achieve historical accuracy. I appreciate all pointers, however, and will make adjustments where needed!

I'm starting back to work this week, so my schedule is changing. I was originally going to post every Wednesday, but it may shift around each week a day or two in either direction. Just giving you guys a heads up!
Thank you to everyone who has commented and speculated on the future course of events! It makes me so very happy to hear that you are having fun reading this and want to stick around and see where it goes!

Just a quick heads-up, guys: I'll be on vacation for the next week in a place with very limited internet access, so I won't be able to post. I've loved reading your comments and I hope you guys enjoy this chapter!

Sorry for the long gap, folks! I was on vacation all last week and needed some time to recover this week. Here's the next installation, I hope you enjoy it!

This is the last chapter that I already had pre-written. I'll try to get a new chapter up every week, but I'm also working on a personal writing project and may be late from time to time. But I've been loving writing this, so never fear, I'll be updating!

Sorry for the long hiatus folks. Had some mental health and wellbeing things to contend with, but hopefully that won't be too much of an issue from here on out! I can't promise I'll be updating regularly because, well, the holidays are here, but I will be working on this and publishing when I can.
Also, quick note, I know things look bad for our duo right now, but this is a slow burn fic, so never fear!

Hello all, and apologies again! I was hoping to be more consistent in my updates but then, well, then the 'rona rolled into town and everything went off the rails for a while, not to mention I was using all my remaining creative energy to work on getting my original fiction finished. You know, at this point I'm not going to make promises because I'm kinda just focusing on getting by, and my creative muse may or may not show up any given day and may or may not want to focus on this. But this fic does have a special place in my heart and I do keep returning to it, so slowly but surely we'll make our way to the end.
Anyway, some Angel-bashing ahoy. Sorry if that's not your cup of tea! Also some Angel pining. Again, sorry if that's not your cup of tea XD.
