Best Souvenir
A/N: Since a2zmom is in some way a clone of me I'm having difficulty discerning whether it was she or I who wrote this chapter. But for now I'm going with both and crediting her with the truly brilliant ideas and the funniest lines (because they're hers). Her feet should be kissed, and pronto. And am taking the time to her: thank you thank you thank

Three-thirty is the primordial ooze of tomorrow, and tell me again why we can’t do this tomorrow night?”
Ha! I absolutely love your Buffy voice in this.
And he dreaded that the reason he hadn’t was because there was a part of himself that wanted to play a game with Banque EEK-because there certainly was a part of himself that was very interested to see what Buffy would look like, draped across his arms, limp, pale, begging, his little human bistro. Or maybe he hadn’t because some small part of him knew that if she had a quick way of getting the information she wanted, she would be done here, and leave . . . him.
made him sick. It didn’t matter if he was going to be helping her. He couldn’t make up for the things he’d done; he wasn’t capable of being the sort of man who deserved-anything at all. He was a demon who wanted to fuck her, ached to drink her dry, thought she might look cute naked and bruised and acting like his little pet. He was that person, and he was going to have to show it to her-this woman, who brought his poor, beleaguered soul its first ray of sunshine, first moment of hope.
I love how you capture Angel's conflicting emotions.
I love how you worked Riley (and Darla) into this. I don't usually tihnk Riley is very interesting or compelling, but I can absolutely see him doing this.
...EEK wouldn’t be nearly as hospitable to them if they found out he had a soul. Corporations, firms, and institutions who dealt with demons-including all the big names: Weyland-Yutani, Wolfram and Hart, EEK, etc,-had this thing for evil, and were wary of ensouled clients, as a rule. They always thought they were out to get them.
I love this bit of perspecitve. Evil is in the eye of the beholder.
This is a grat story, and I can't wait to read more.

It was A2zmom's idea! I admit: I've always really, really liked Riley, but I also found him . . . a little boring. But when A2zmom tossed the Riley/Darla idea at me my mind started to do all sorts of naughty things with him. It's tragic, really, the way his relationship with Buffy ended.

That's why I always loved Wolfram and Hart best as a villain. Corporate evil is fun!
Glad you liked the chapter, and thanks for letting me know!
