Thank you for a lovely hero Riley.  I always liked him as a character, just not for Buffy.  I love how he supported Buffy and and gave her the courage to come out.  then he ran much needed interference with the scoobs!  I hope that Sam will treat him right and that Giles' presence in the timeline will help things not go so badly sideways...  maybe in this universe, Tara lives.

I loved the character analysis in this story... you didn't make anyone extremely anything...  very subtle, and believable.

Thanks,

Blue

Very nice story, and a much better send off than he ever got in the show. I think this Riley is much more real, in a way, certainly a far cry from the one dimensional blunder bore the show made of him.

That was really great story. And you are right I won't bash Riley ever again...he was really sweet and understanding in your story and that is how i like my characters :D Thank you for sharing!
(wow I think i want to find Buffy/Spike/Riley story...I wonder if something like this exist :D)

 Wow I really enjoyed this story :)

I think this is the first story I have ever read where I didn't hate Riley... I love how u made him nice and understanding and actually had him help fix some of the problems that took place in the BTVS plot line!!!

I will definitely be reading all of ur other stories cuz i know they will be just as good as this one if not better :)

Awww.  What a great story!  I always kind of liked Riley as person but I didn't like him with Buffy and I thought the turn his character took was a little off.  I think you have redeemed him and actually made him a nice, smart guy from Iowa.  I love how you made his presence just what was needed to make things alright with everybody.  Great story!  Thanks for writing.

I always liked Riley even if he wasn't the right one for Buffy. So naturally I'm happy with the way you did this story. Great work.

     wow, I enjoyed this story  - even tho I usually just read NC-17 Spuffies. It was well-written, funny, and wove various plot lines together seamlessly. I almost think I'd like to read Riley-fic. But of course I have no time for anyone but Spike : )
Thank you for all your wonderful reviews - and for staying in, despite the sunshine, to read!

Wow, you achieved the impossible and made me like Riley! I really enjoyed your story and loved the Buffy coming out to her friends moment and Anya and Xander's happy ending too. Sorry its over!

 I didn't think I would like such a Riley-centric story, but it was really good! I enjoyed it a lot. I loved the shifting POV and you did a great job weaving in canon.

Of course this Riley was totally off canon which is why I like him here. Great ending!

Feeling the love for Riley after this one.  I've enjoyed this whole fic told from Riley's point of view.  Well done.

Thank you for the lovely story.  God knows Buffy needed someone in her corner in S6 regarding Spike and Riley , unexpectedly, served brilliantly.  Well told tale from start to finish.
