Good treatment for Riley - a nice balance between his sometimes rigid narrow minded perspective on demons and his emotional traits. 

sorry I can't review using my ID - the system keeps shutting me out of my login/account ID.  Anyway, I am very much enjoying this story.  So glad that you are still active and finding Spuffy a creative source.

Glad you like him. I tried to keep him realistic and not demonize him.

Great update, always enjoy seeing Riley making a prat of himself.  

I think you'll find he really blows it this time. :)

Methinks things are going to get a lot worse before they get better.  Cheers!
Probably, maybe...  Merry Christmas!

Yup, it's penis envy. Those steriods probably shrunk the equipment.

Spike talked to the right scooby about killing Ben. Giles knows Buffy couldn't do it. She feels guilty every time she stakes a vamp because she wasn't there to prevent them from becoming a vampire. No way could she purposefully take a human life. Anya might have been on board but she can't offer any help and she'd wind up telling Xander. Won't Riley be surprised if he goes after Spike and Spike kicks his ass!!! I'm actually hoping it happens!
LOL Haven't decided yet if it's going to happen or not.  Very tempting....

Ooooh! Buffy should totally have slapped Riley! And then royally dumped him. I'm surprised nobody has suggested all going off to Angel's hotel. They couldn't on the show because of crossover issues, but I would have thought it would be the ideal place otherwise. Gies had a good idea though, of letting Riley kill Ben....
I actually do have Buffy thinking about Angel's very briefly, but only she and I know what she was thinking because she changed her mind quickly and said something else. :) I don't think Buffy and Angel were getting along all that well at this point....  And sending them there would raise other issues for her. I think she's got enough on her plate right now with Glory, Spike, and Riley - throwing a jealous Angel into the mix might just be a little much, yes? :)
