Enjoyed this one! Interesting how you have Riley being so patronizing. I'm wondering how this will all be played out.

I can't believe you have no reviews for this. Then again I could have been writing one for every chapter, but I was too busy finding out what happens next, so i hope you'll forgive me.
Right to the story, the good and the okay. I really like this story, it's well written and thought out, that much is obvious. The characters are very close to character and yet not, which is fitting seeing as this is AU and plays in a different time period.
I absolutely adore your little descriptions that hint at the show itself. My favourite would have to be when Buffy describes Spike as a demon in human form. Very cool.
My only problem with this is that I don't find teh Riley situation believable. It doesn't seem quite feasible that Buffy would string him along even though she thinnks he is boring and a hypocrite. But seeing as I have a string suspicion that he and the reverend will turn out to be the robbers I can see why you would have him around in a bigger capacity for a while longer.
Plus this is written so well that I can deal with the odd jarring note.
If I could rate this in stars it would get four out of five, cause writing the characters believably in a different time period is one of the hardest things you can do. Check out Lost in Time for another story that does that really well.
