aw it's nice to see nonbitch buffy

Riley,Riley,Riley...Ghrrrr!!!

Loved the Buffy you had there. And the line “Don’t push it,”.:P
Loved it all:D

would have made better viewing and more sense. good read, thank you.

Definitely a much better version. One of those 'if only' situations. Very much enjoyed, ty ;)

yep, this is how is should have gone. tks

I like this ending soooo much better. I also prefer non-depresso, guilt-ridden Buffy.

Nicely done!

HOW AWESOME!

thats was great! I always hated that episode, I could never figure out what exactly their purpose with it was. Yea so Riley found out but they didn't explain anything else,, who this all important Doctor was.. why Spike had the eggs,, NOTHING just HERE YOU GO... It makes no sense but here it is!

thank you!

Ah, what could have been...

Much, much, much better version! Awesome way to end it as well :)

I really liked this. It was MUCH better than the real episode! Stupid Riley.

I much prefer your version!

Delicious story. Spot-on characterisations and has the crypt ever sounded more enticing? I do love a good Riley smackdown.

Lovely redo. Wish Buffy would have snapped to that slip of Riley's about a real stake.....miserable git deserved to have some payback for that!

Oh very nice.

Great chapter. Was good that Buffy told Riley to leave, and that she was seeing Spike.

lol...that was so satisfying, so glad to see her tell riley off and send him packing instead of ganging up on spike with him...great writing, very funny and true to the characters, excellent work, love ;)

Nothing like a good rattling to shake Buffy up enough to show her the real priortities. Deftly handled for sure.

Yeah, Buffy! Great little fic :-)

S- It is always such a pleasure to read your stories, The characters voices are so authentic to the "verse" and even tho this was a do-over, very rich with visual and sensory imagery.
The warmth and smell of the flickering candles, Spikes always powerful emotions... but finally Buffy comes thru, very satisfying. Write on, Write on!

Yay, I love this version way better. Thanks for the read. ^_^

Oooh, I liked this ending much, much better. Thank you for posting this!

yea!! i loved it. this is completely the way the episode should have gone!!

Nice story. They couldn't be any blinder than Riley. Wish you'd let Buffy put her fasionable but reasonably priced boot up his behind.
