Buffy/Riley

Celestial Light
by Alexandra Huxley
Romance; Futurefic
Yes. Yes, yes, yes. This is what I want to happen after the finale. Fifteen years after Chosen, Buffy bumps into Riley, now a widower raising four kids by himself. This brings them back together without negating Sam or Angel or Spike, and I loved the original characters. There's a much longer sequel which I haven't read yet, but I'm very much looking forward to it.

How Do You Eat an Oreo? - Part 1/2 Part 2/2
by Cerise
Humour; Romance; S4
Funny romantic fluff with nice character voices (not to mention interesting cookie-related psychological insights)

Killeen
by Wisteria
Angst; Vignette; AU

Alternate universe where Buffy married Riley, and is now living on an army base. Lovely, sad, by no means a B/R happily ever after.

Some Enchanted Evening
by Marina
Humour; Romance; S4
'It's Valentine's Day, and Riley has the perfect romantic evening planned. Murphy's law kicks in with a vengeance.'
