Thanks - *watches you rush off*

perhaps spike (or william with spike's strength) can explain (hopefully painfully) how he did not take advantage  and it is not "artificial" need. very good chapter, thank you love.
Thanks for reading. Next chapter gets Riley shoved out the door. :)

William?! Spike?! I don't care - I'm so happy. I hope he kicks Riley's ass - I hope they both do because he is an idiot. Yay for more (even if it is the last).

I'm shaking my fist at Riley here. Man, does his righteousness get on my nerves! I love the way you write him - I never feel any sympathy for him, which works just fine for me.

Can't wait for your next chapter! I really want to find out how this all plays out.
*sigh* yes, I fear I am something of a Riley-basher.  Can't seem to help myself.  New chapter is now up.

Also meant to congratulate you on the neatness of the plot detail -
147 days elicits a sigh of misty-eyed satisfaction.

Ok, definately gone now.  
Hee! It seems to be a popular choice. :)

The previous review is not meant to be an ironic postmodern comment on the meaninglessness of signifiers.  I  just messed up and pressed the wrong button.  Anyway, I love the drama.   Felt like cheering - and that hasn't happened in a while. Has Spike seen and heard?  Has he seen and heard right?

It would be nice to think that anyone, even Riley, could be gently disabused of prejudice and tunnel vision with careful and patient explanations of the truth.  However your shrewd characterisation shows how much of a brick wall some people can be.  Love to hate him!
LOL Thanks for the comments - all of them. :)

YAY!  Nothing like a naked Spike to perk a girl right up!  Sounds like he has some strength too so that's wonderful.

Riley is a jerk.  No surprise there.  See I never saw him as a nice guy.  Nice guys don't unquestioningly torture sentient beings. ... killing them might be one thing but he NEVER seemed to find what the Initiative did as being wrong or even questionable (except, of course, Adam and what they did to the soldiers).  Nope, not a nice guy at all.

147 days....perfect!!

This has been one of your best and that says a LOT.  Love Buffy beginning to make a life for herself but still having a Spike shaped hole in it.  That's real and that is a Buffy that CAN love.

Excellent.

Thank you so much. It's been a long time since a story sparked this much interest.  It's been fun.  Last chapter going up tonight. :)

Squee!!! Our hero returns in time to give a spectacularly dense Riley his marching orders!  I hope....
LOL  We'll find out, won't we?

Yay! Spike's back! And if Riley has an ounce of sense (which he doesn't) he'll run after damaging Spike's house and trying to put the moves on Buffy.
LOL  We'll see....

AHH, evil cliffie! And what did Buffy realize about why Spike's memories came back and he died and everything and I so want to read more and I can't wait and I hope there isn't more pain for Buffy and Riley gets promptly kicked out.
Update soon!
Think about it - 147 days triggered a memory of what?  What happened when he got his memories back? What did seeing her on the stairs remind him of?  Last chapter tonight.

 omg its spike or william and its been 147 days the special number finally
So it seems. Thanks for reading.

Riley CAN'T be that dumb....

Umm....so, "who'd" she get back, this time? Refrigerator was pushed aside, door opened, and naked guy stands there glaring at the door? Spike's gonna be pissed his new body didn't come with bleach, LOL.
LOL  Got other things on his mind at first.  Worry about bleach can come later.

10/27/2008 01:31 am
Yeeesss, he's baaack!  Time to kick Riley's butt really good.  Thanks for the update.
Thanks for reading. :)

Riley, Riley, still as thick as ever! I'm guessing you've made your choice as to whether or not to leave him to his reward - or it could just be a drifter. I'm thinking it's not the latter. I also think in Spike's world, Buffy is his reward. Can't wait for the conclusion! 
LOL Conclusion tomorrow.

Spikes back? maybe...? Good chapter.
Thanks!

BadRiley! So patronising and insensitive! He never did understand Buffy. Yay Spike's back! But he's human. Is he JustWilliam or is he William/SpikeWithMemories? More NOW please!!!
LOL  More tomorrow night. Most likely.

  Guess he had to make sure .. Riley didn't become the one..Or ..  LOL

  ...But coincidental I assume..   it was 147 days..his resurrection and human?
We'll see, won't we?  *evil laugh*
