''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/41046222/chapters/102875262 Rachel The Vampire Slayer]]'' is a TransplantedCharacterFic by gengarbagecan that takes the characters of ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'' and puts them in another piece of iconic late 90s media -- ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''.

Rachel Berenson has just been kicked out of ''another'' high school for fighting, and her recently-divorced mom has decided to move her and her little sisters to Sunnydale, where Rachel's cousin Jake already lives. She already knows Marco through Jake, and soon meets Cassie and a mysterious loner named Tobias. But Principal Chapman has secrets he's hiding, and the mysterious librarian Mr. Fangor is taking a worrying interest in her -- something about her being the Slayer and saving her species?

----
!!Contains the following tropes:

* AlphaBitch: Melissa is much more of a mean girl in this, as she's filling Cordelia's role.
* {{Animorphism}}: Tobias can turn into a red-tailed hawk.
* BritsLoveTea: When Elfangor decided his human persona Alan Fangor was British, he reasoned that he had to drink tea. Unfortunately, he didn't know the heat tolerance of human mouths yet and burned his tongue.
* CelebrityParadox: Creator/KAApplegate is mentioned to exist. Of course, she could be famous for something other than ''Animorphs'' here.
* DisguisedInDrag: Rachel, Cassie, and Marco try to sneak into a 21+ club disguised as 19-year-old girls and bribing the bouncer.
* FusionFic: The settings of ''Animorphs'' and ''Buffy'' are merged.
** Yeerks are replaced with vampires, but these vampires have several Yeerkish aspects (they have to feed every three days--except in this case on blood, they have a substance called Kandrona in their bodies, and they take over a (dead) host body, retaining the host's memories but completely replacing its mind).
** Other aliens from ''Animorphs'', like Hork-Bajir, Taxxons, and Howlers appear, but are demons from AnotherDimension.
** Elfangor and later Ax take the place of Giles, but are also Andalites in their true form.
* MistakenForPedophile: Rachel and her friends interpret Mr. Fangor's request to meet him in the library alone as him being creepy.
* MythologyGag:
** Marco's last name is Monroe-Cabrera, the second half coming from his actor in the ''Series/{{Animorphs}}'' TV series, Boris Cabrera.
** Jake mentions that he assumed Cassie was a Creator/KAApplegate fan growing up.
** Rachel mentions Creator/DavidBoreanaz was at a party she snuck into.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Cassie is given the last name Whistler, Marco the last name Monroe-Cabrera, and Tobias the last name Harris.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: In contrast to Buffy's situation, where she already knew about vampires and being the Slayer before coming to Sunnydale, here she has no idea about them until Elfangor and Tobias explain.
* ShoutOut:
** Elfangor mentions Creator/DanteAlighieri as passing through nine dimensions, which he interpreted as the CirclesOfHell.
** Rachel compares the phrase "my principal's a vampire" to a Creator/BruceCoville book, though she doesn't say [[Literature/MyTeacherIsAnAlien the title]].
** Tobias quotes ''Theatre/KingLear'': “As flies to wanton boys are we to the gods. They kill us for their sport.”
* SueDonym:
** Elfangor uses his canon alias of Alan Fangor.
** Ax uses "Maximilian Edgar-Ruth Ishmael".
