Oh, I get it, of course! The Buffy-bot. And Riley can't tell the difference. Well, after all, he's just a regular Joe - can't expect him to know the difference in one blonde over another.

love the beginning, thank you. last line shows how much riley has not changed.

riley you be fuck by spike ... I beat that he like that... and then my maybe he spike could fuck buffy infrot of him  i think that buffy would like that to that would be a gog story not this shit you are writting

Woo hoo! - my favorite the Buffybot.  No doubt she's hurrying off to see Spike naked. 

I'm glad your muse decided to come out of hibernation - looking forward to reading more.

Smashing start - and such an original pov.  I look forward to more.

love his reaction to the buffybot. hes such a dork.

“And you’re a big ponce,” she announced with a nod and a smile.

^Still chuckling over that one. Can't wait to see where this goes.

I am looking forward to the next chapter. I really like this idea, and the way you are approaching it. Not usually a Riley fan, but seeing things through his eyes is going to be very interesting. Also interested to see this summer explored. Spike's position in the group was mentioned ,but then no one ever really talked about it agan after the first few eps of S6. Hope you update soon, as I am dying to see were you go with this !

I do like the Buffybot comeuppance. Guess she did have a purpose after all.

OMG! I love this! Having Riley return while Buffy's dead and then resurrected has always been one of my many S6 What If scenarios that I've never had the talent to write. And as much as I hate Riley and constantly wish he never existed, the way you've written him is really tolerable! For once I don't wanna punch him in the face! And that's saying a lot, trust me :) This looks like it's gonna be really good and I can't wait for more!!!

love it please update soon

Ah, you seem to have hit on my fic kink with this one - third person POV. I love reading stories where a relationship is observed by someone on the sidelines. Can't wait to read more.
Oh, and interesting to have him meet the Bot first - wasn't expecting that. :)

Of course he assumes Spike put a spell on her, doesn't even realize that's not Buffy.  Then again, he didn't exactly know that wasn't her during the body switch, either.  And this is the woman he claims to love?  Have to say, Riley has a lot of nerve just coming back like that and expecting her to forgive him, he doesn't even think about the fact that she could have moved on.  I'm interested to see where you go with this, but I'm gonna hold you to the no Biley. 

Hee! What a clever and original idea. Can't wait to see where you go with this. :)

 this will be fun to read i cant wait for more i like your writing i have read the rest of your fics they are great well keep this one up

Ahhhhhh Riley meets the Bot *snerk* and as always can't tell the difference.  Buffy would be furious although I don't think you can really blame the guy.

Looking forward to this.  I have zero love/like for Riley (it's all about his attitude towards the experiments of the Initiative not because he "came between" Buffy and Spike mind you) but that does not put me off of a story.
