truepennyDream which can best be described as BtVS/Georgette Heyer crossover; amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as:
Christina Ricci as a four-armed cheerleader; an alternate universe plot a la The Corinthian (cross-dressed girl heroine) and one of the ones where an arranged/forced marriage turns out to be true love--only the hero was very distinctly Nathan Fillion in Mal-mode (with perhaps just a little more polish), and that's not one of GH's types; S1/S2 Buffy; S7 Spike (suit and tie and damn sexy with it); Giles trying to remember how many times Buffy's averted the apocalypse (like the conversation in "The Gift," except much more with the funny); the beautiful but dim foil from the GH world (like Ianthe in Sylvester, only not exclusively self-centered) walking out to sacrifice herself to the forces of darkness to protect her child; much resourceful action and unrequited love/UST from the cross-dressed girl heroine and her Mal (who each love the other madly, but can't admit it, because they think their feelings cannot possibly be reciprocated--god I'm a sucker for that stuff); and this bit of dialogue, Giles explaining why, yes, they really do have to have Cordelia along: "The viewpoint of the perennially shallow can be very useful."
It was a vastly entertaining dream, and I'm only sorry I can't remember more of the plot.
