If anyone did, I knew you'd catch that. :) I started to add notes to the affect of: This Riley is no where near canon Riley. Please tread cautiously.
I thought about re-writing it to get it closer to what we get to see in the show, but then chucked the idea. Riley, as much as I love him, per the writers, is not a very accessible character for me. The Stealing Sky is the closest I get and it works and doesn't work at the same time. This was just me rubbing off some of the shiny and tearing him down. I wanted to get into the issues dealt with in Season 5 leading up to Into the Woods, but couldn't seem to get there except rather obliquely. I love seeing how far I can drop a character and stil make it somewhat believeable. I'm glad that this came close.
