Riley remembers that it was awkward in the beginning. Spike smirked above them, demandingly superior -- an ice-cold porcelain god. Buffy was tentative, unsure, but mesmerized and Riley wanted her.
Um. Wow.
You know I am reccing a new fic every day this month...and I wanted to rec something of yours that I haven't read...and this is it. It's wonderful (as all your fic is). I love the way you married kid-Riley with adult-Riley. I loved the constant repetition and the way Spike replaces Michael Troy.
And although this might not be canon-Riley...who knows. I mean...clearly the Riley that went to the vamp whores had a hidden darkness that we only saw very briefly. And Spike and Buffy hovering in his subconscious is both believeable and haunting.

The whole story is haunting, really.
Excellent.
