Fic: The Accidental Spellcaster

*Waves* Hi everyone! I've missed all of you so much! :)

Author: feliciacraft

Characters: Xander & Giles

Rated: PG

Length: ~900 words

Beta: The fantastic All4Spike — thank you!

Summary: Rewrite of the scene from BtVS episode 4x17 "Superstar". With a simple incantation, Xander sets Giles's book on fire. Here, the rest of the scene goes a little differently. May contain gratuitous Star Wars references.

This is sweet! I don't know why you dithered in posting.

I will definitely contribute something to Summer of Giles. May use one of the free-for-all days on the chance that I don't deliver... Don't want to take up a whole day.

Thank you for reading and commenting!
