Chapter: Getting Harder

02/16/2008 09:31 am
Could Riley be any more of a jerk?!?  And he calls himself a boyfriend?  Those are not the actions of a supportive boyfriend who loves you.  Poor Buffy!  She needs Spike but all she'll let herself have are stolen moments and Riley.  Is it somewhere in the Slayer Handbook that the Chosen One must be miserable in order to be worthy of her calling and capable of saving the world?  Still waiting for the big Riley screw-up that will (hopefully) send Buffy into the arms of Spike (for good his time)!
Screw-up on the way, I promise. Nope, definitely not a supportive boyfriend. Soon time to get rid of him! :-D Thanks for reading.

Lovely update, good to see her letting herself take some comfort in Spike.

Riley is such an ass, hopefully Buffy will see the truth soon.  Thanks for the update.

I know that Buffy is dealing with a lot but I really wanna smack her hard!  How will she feel after she finds out what Riley is doing?  The only ones being honest are Riley, and Spike.  Buffy seriously needs to leave Egypt and fast before she loses everythig...

I love this story and appreciate such fast updates!  You absolutely rock...: D
Thanks, you rock too :-D Yeah, she does need a bit of a smack but she'll work it out. And after Riley's little indiscretion is revealed, she'll realise just how silly she is. Thanks for reading!

This charade can't go on forever.  Joyce is already seeing through it and Riley is getting close.  When, oh when, will Buffy be honest with herself?

I like the way you write Riley.  At least he's honest with his feelings!
It can't go on, no. Things will have to come out in the open and soon...

Honest, but still an ass :-D I find I can't hate him completely- I just pity him because he's a bit pathetic (and he's not Spike!)

Thanks for reading!

Buffy is being incredibly dense.

And I guess this is where Spike follows the git----errr, I mean
Riley to the vamp troll/whorehouse?  Will he show Buffy here as well?
I love this fic---much better than the season.  I've only one prob---the chappies aren't long enough! But you've been so wonderfully quick and frequent with the updates, not making us wait hardly at all.
You've got me checking the site several times a day to see if you've updated!
Glad you wrote & posted this! Thanks!

Spike's already seen him there (see the not-so-subtle hint in 'Foreboding') Buffy has yet to find out though.

Sorry about the chapter length- I seem to struggle to get much over the required 1000 words. But I like to make up for it with lots of quick updating! :-) Thanks for reading and reviewing.
