Curious why you decided to turn William and Spike into the very type of heartless monsters that Riley and his Initiative friends and Walsh were.  Maybe next chapter will explain this.  Right now, I'm pretty much mystified with the level of violence and hatred of these two character.

Love the time travel treatment and that William was able to change their tragic future - not sure how I feel about William's extremely brutal vengence and solution - somehow the extreme nature of his conduct seems to take away from this character and Spike as well - perhaps I should feel this and see this through the vampire pov but I would like for Spike and his William to have gone beyond that primal demon instinct -

Thanks for your wonderful story - on to the finish now -

wow...that *was* dark...and i can't say that i've seen enough darkness from riley in this fic to warrant such a gruesome death...a bit on the disturbing side, must admit, love...moving on now :)

That was pretty dark but he deserved every bit of it! Spike cheated on Buffy? and she went insane and killed herself? Yeeek, that's pretty bad maybe now things will be better. Very good chapter.

Spike had changed? Maybe because of the aftereffects of the punishment? Interesting.. well, William junior should know (coming for the future). *sigh* Oh I see, it got bad indeed. Wow... William Jr. took the revenge he had Riley marked for all by himself. Hopefully it will end well now.

all vengence like wow - what a heartbreaking back story - excallnt chappie!

so gross, no one deserves that, not even riley.

so gross, no one deserves that, not even riley.

{staring with her mouth agape} HOly crap! Wow! That was one heck of a torture scene. Spike cheated on Buffy in the future? I am glad that won't happen now. Spike was always so loyal and true. I look forward to the next update.

I am just glad that William was able to stop Buffy. This was her defining moment and he helped to stop his family from imploding. Willam really made his "vampire" family proud. I hope Buffy realizes what she was stopped from doing. Love grown William

strong update. probably not as dark as you thought, because, well it's riley, come on, rejoice. i think you can see that anything done to riley or xander would seem mild to me. (that was a terrible sentence) thanks for the chapter

Definately a dark chapter but I am glad that Riley is no longer a danger to them! I wasn't expecting to see William come from the future to fufill his call for vengeance but it was good that he did after hearing about the horrible life he lived. I can't wait to see what happens when Buffy wakes up! Please update soon!

wow. mroe soon please. i cant wiat. poor william losing his mother like that, but now everything will be okay, right? cant wait for more.

Ooh! I love this story. So glad that Riley got what was coming to him. Looking forward to more.

YAY! Riley torture! William did it so well it almost seems he had prior experience. I hope Spuffy can live together now and provide William a good home.

oooh Perrrrfect ending for this perrrfect night... hope you update soon! I'm of to bed!

oooo child!!! I've finally caught up and so glad that I did. That was some real sweet vengeance!!! LOVE IT. Cool how I picture William looking very much like Connor -- they could be brothers. Must be the "family" thing.

OMG...That was cringe worthy...literally, I had to leave the computer for a moment there. YOU ARE EVIL. LOL.

Bring on the next chapter

creative little sprog, isn't he? I feel so much better now that Riley has been dealt with. Great chapter

Yay! Riley torture! *dances*

OUCH. That had to hurt.
