of all the people to find her. mr. worhtless. riley was trying hard to break the the tie between xander and andrew, for being the most pathetic, misconceived characters on the show. actually very good read, thank you.
Lol, yes, Riley is part of the challenge requirement. I figured since he was lurking around in places he shouldn't be, he was the best bet for running into Buffy. I like Riley, though - always have, always will. Yeah, he got a little annoying towards the end, but at the end of the day he was nice and harmless, IMO. Anyway, thanks for reviewing. :)

I'm really liking this story so far. Still, gotta say, I never liked Riley. Early on I was okay with that relationship just because he was there the next morning when he and Buffy slept together. I think saying everything he did was caused by Buffy and oh, poor Riley is overdoing it. Especially after the plastic stake on Spike.
Other than that, I can't wait to see more about the claim. I wonder how that would affect this time-line's Spike, who is in love with Buffy and very sensitive to things like claims?
There is no way Buffy is just going to let every awful event she lived through and put people through, though, right? Please? For one thing, if she dies and is brought back the abusive, awful relationship with Spike will take place. The problem is, will this older Buffy believe it will be worth Spike not needing to get his soul over? Spike loved her before the soul when she wasn't even there anymore, after all. Oh, there are so many options but everyone's so scared of causing a paradox that will destroy the universe. Take the chance!
Looking forward to more!

Aye, Izzy, I hear you. :)
About Riley - I agree to an extent. I don't for a second believe that Buffy was responsible for his actions. Sure, the way in which she treated him occasionally may have aroused certain feelings in him, but he's accountable for his own actions. Now, in this fic, the S5 events and timeline are obviously going to change. That's worth bearing in mind when considering Riley (for the purposes of this fic). Lol, that's all I'm going to say on that front for now.
As for S5Spike and futureBuffy - some fun stuff coming up, I think. The claim bit won't be addressed for a while, though. All in good time.:)
Now, about what futureBuffy will and will not let reoccur - well,let's just say, this is going to be very AU in a few chapters. ;)Good thing too, because Giles isn't the only one with a headache from all this paradox stuff!
Thank you, Izzy, for reading and leaving such wonderful feedback. :)

there were a couple lines in there that made me go..."wait...huh?" but that's just the wonkiness of the time travel bit.. :P this chapter was great, i'm glad she brought the scoobies in on it...but how will they feel about where she's at with spike right now??? hmmm...great chapter, love :)
Lol, DOS, let me just say, it gets worse! Really no way around it except meet it head on, I think. If something's confusing though, please point it out. I may well overlook something. It's a nightmare to keep track of what's the same and what's different because of futureBuffy's arrival.
How will the Scoobies feel about her and Spike? Well, it's not going to be smooth sailing, that's for sure.;)
As always, I appreciate your comments. :D

The Scoobies certainly handled everything really well, should be interesting to see what happens when Spike enters the scene. Good update!
Thank you, Irina. Yes, Spike will enter the scene in a couple of chapters and after that things really start to get interesting in terms of group dynamics. Can you imagine the position futureBuffy will be in?

Giles rubbed his forehead and frowned. He was already experiencing the beginning of what promised to be a painful headache.
LOL... I can understand that! Time paradoxes are enough to give anyone a headache.
Another fabulous update. Thank you.

Tell me about it! The last time I wrote a fic that involved time paradoxes, I promised myself I would stay away from them. A year later, here I am. What can I say? I love time-travel fics. :D
It gets worse, btw - the paradox part. No way around it really,lol.

She doesn't want to change this Buffy's relationship with Riley. His leaving made it easier for her to turn to Spike. Really liking this, it's really coming along, thanks.
Yes, Buffy is wary of messing up things, although it's already too late. ;)
Thank you for reading and reviewing. :)

Definitely an interesting and entirely plausible take on the events. I'm enjoying.
Thanks, Joyce!

I hope Riley doesn't try getting afffectionate with Future Buffy any more than he already has.
Hehe. I feel bad for Riley, I really do. What's a guy like him to do in face of someone in like Spike, eh?
08/06/2007 01:57 am
Oh that is good, I wonder when Spike will come in.
Very soon! There will be Spike in the next chapter and Spuffy not long after that. :D

Good chapter.Update soon.That's pretty cool that S5!Buffy didn't know about Future!Buffy.
Aah, but for how long? ;) Thanks for reviewing.

Hey, even if there's no Spike, it was a good setup for what's to come. Plus, I love the idea that this story is future and also right in the middle of the canon, like if 5th season Buffy walks around the corner, future Buffy is hiding in the training room. Very cool.
Thanks, LindsayH. I don't know how much hiding Buffy is going to be able to do. ;)
