Maybe Someday. Not Quite a Christmas Carol. 1/3

[elisi]

Look I wrote something! It's taken forever, and part 3 will probably not be done until Easter, but there you go. This isn't really a sequel to 'Maybe Someday', just a little sort of extra story that's been sat in my head almost since I got the idea for the original story, and set a few months later. I hope you like. ::crosses fingers::

I loved reading this from Riley's perspective because the befuddlement is just so profound. Sort of the way one might feel if dropped into a situation like that.

And yay, there'll be more! =)

To be honest I was worried he was *too* befuddled, but then how could he not be? The story popped into my head almost fully formed and I've been wanting to write it for SO long. :)

Spike held out his hand with a wide grin on his face and shook Sam’s hand enthusiastically. “I’ve never met you before, but I can say with absolute certainty that he doesn’t deserve you!” You know, I bet that really is what he would say.
SPIKE
Full-time Champion and
Saviour of the World.
If you wish to contact Spike
make a suitable offering to Illyria,
God-King of the Primordium.
Alternatively contact Buffy Summers,
The Watcher’s Council, Rome.
That really is the perfect business card and if there ever should be a Spike movie I think that's what Spike should have in his wallet.
Riley's complete befuddlement is exactly what I would think happen should he come across them again. The last he had heard was that "Assface" was getting out the chip and then came Sunnydale go boom. I can't imagine that he would ever consider Spike and Buffy to be a couple.
In closing :

Oh I'm so glad you said that - it just wrote itself. :)

And that business card was what started this little fic in the first place, if I remember correctly... the scene with Spike handing over this card and Riley going 'Huh?' playing in my head. My brain is a funny thing!

And how much do I love those icons? Must upload more...

[curiouswombat]

Love the business card! A goat? Might be enough. Would a giant squid be a good sacrifice or a terribly bad one?

[elisi]

Very glad that you liked. And I'm not quite sure about the giant squid... finding one in the first place would probably be the biggest problem. *g*

[cal_turner]

Take that, Riley! Um...I mean...it's so nice to see Riley again! ;) Loved the business card. Just wonderful! :)

[elisi]

But he's so tall and manly - what's not to love? (How much do I adore this icon? ::happy sigh::)

Thanks for reading and commenting. :)

Love what you did with Johnson *g*. Usually I say "poor Angel" in one of your stories, this time I think I'm going to be saying "poor Riley" and that really doesn't come naturally to me!

[elisi]

Well I'm glad you made me do it, because I'd been intending to and then just sort of forgot.

Save the 'poor Riley' for part 3! ;)
