I've got to say, that Spike and Riley together, in this hell world is kind of one of my favorite twists. Who better to understand Spike's loss than Riley. Kinda got the feeling he was the left behind one based on the greeting he gave Spike at the end of the last chapter. Hope Buffy, gives him a bit of a break on the whole vamping Riley thing... Hard to let go of someone you know when so many have gone before...

Author's Response: Yay! Finally someone not scrubbing their brain over Spike and Riley! :) I feel so bad for Spike, Buffy does need to look at things from his POV and give him a break. Maybe he can make her understand his mood swings soon. Thanks BR!! Love hearing from you!

It has taken me days to get rid of the image of Spike and Riley rutting. Frankly if I was able to scrub the pictures out of my brain I would do so. I don't know if I can read anymore of that type of activity but I like your writing and this series so much that I will keep reading. You said it would not be graphic but unfortunately your words and Buffy's reaction painted a really good picture. Ugh

Author's Response: Hi Bridget ... I'm sorry - I really didn't think it was too graphic, and hoped people that didn't want to 'see' it could block it out. Sorry! There won't be any more of that - one more kiss later - that's it, I promise. I also hoped the double dose of Spike would wipe out the Riley-residue.... :) Think good thoughts ... just see the two Spikes. Keep the faith ....

Personally I can see it. Riley and Spike both sharing the love and memory of Buffy fighting the good fight the only ones able to do any damage to save the others.

Author's Response: Hi Blue Eyes! I'm very glad you can see how Spike and Riley could end up together in this scenario, with her at the core of their 'relationship'. Thanks so much for stopping in!

Love how you wrote this in such detail, better than TV anymore to me. Very harrowing scenes where the lucky ones die fast and clean and the unlucky ones get to tell their stories of woe. Spike and Riley giving cold comfort to each other is unexpected and I bet your muse loves our discomfort with the idea. Did he watch Brokeback Mountain? Just curious. Buffy is not all that fair when she criticizes Spike for turning Riley, how quickly she forgets her five years of hell. So, how will Riley react to mom Buffy? Will he look at Annie and think of what could have been his future had he arrived earlier? When Spike told Buffy to not trust anyone having Riley in the equation sure amp’s up the angst. Love how creative you are at demon species - good job! Look forward to more angst filled chapters!

Author's Response: HI Vette! I have the advantage of an UNLIMITED special effects budget! LOL! I'm glad you like all the strange and wondrous demons, they were all actually quite fun to write. What will Riley's reaction be ... hmmm - keep in mind that he's soulless here, so ... you never know. I had to laugh at the Brokeback Mountain question - that does come up later! (But to answer you question - NO, I don't let my muse watch anything but Buffy and Angel DVDs ... and football matches... {sigh}) I knew everyone would *hate* it being Riley, but my muse was adamant that it be him. Yes, Buffy can get holier-than-thou on occasion, but hopefully she'll come down off her high horse and give Spike a break. Glad you're looking forward to more angst - there's a BOATLOAD of it on the way! Thanks so much, Vette! Love hearing from U always!

I haven’t been very good at reviewing this part of the series but I have been reading; I’m not sure how much longer I will though because Spike/Riley may become more than I can deal with. You’re the only writer that makes me want to cover my eyes and peek through my fingers to read – just like I use to watch horror movies as a child. It’s all because of that horrible beast you have for a muse! Thanks for the update and I’m looking forward to the next with much fear and trepidation.

Author's Response: Hi Melly! I miss your reviews! Glad you're still reading. Don't worry *too* much about what will be shown of the Riley/Spike relationship. There will be no detailed slash in here. I promise that if you keep reading, you will ultimately be happy with the outcome, but my evil muse does love to put everyone through hell to get there. One day I'm going to tie him up and force him to write something 100% angst free (or say ... 93%). He did it once ... surely he can do it again. Of course, right after that, he sent Spike to Limbo and married Buffy to Riley ... hmmm. Well, it still seems worth the risk. Hang in there!! Thanks so much for stopping in!!
