I'm  hoping Riley doesn't make a move on Buffy, but I suppose he has hopes.  It'll be interesting to see how well that goes down!

Ugh, my Spuffy heart cringes at the closing statement. 

I don't know if this is what you intended, but I was quite sure this was Spike's POV, it was a shock when I figured out it was Riley.  I LOVE surprises!  :)

I think Riley is seeing more along the way of "things I would like to see" instead of her reality. 

Terrific Story -

Something tells me it's Spike's Buffy that is back, not Riley's. Buffy doesn't seem particularly interested in spending time with him, thank goodness... His reaction to the 'exploding lint' incident wasn't exactly stellar, was it?

Ah she has firmly put her mask on and he's wanting to buy into it as reality.  Seems that Spike is the only one to see and admit the truth still.

Too bad he didn't get a look at that gadget they might have had a good force against Warren with Riley's background.

I like this story and the Riley POV is interesting. But???, where the hell is Spike???

love it please update soon

okay, so, i'm starting to worry here.  all we really see is riley's interaction with buffy, but no spike, it looks to me like this isn't going to turn out being spuffy, but since it's on this site, i hope i wouldn't have to worry about that.  i may like this riley a bit better than usual, but i still don't want them together.  i'm still worried about the buffy/other and even though we didn't see it, i like that she still confided to spike about being in heaven, that gives me some hope.
