A rewrite of ‘As You Were’ in which Angel shows up as well as Riley. (Maybe Buffy should run into Parker in a coffee shop too, just to top it off?)

--- 

Angel scents Spike on Buffy and gives her shit about it while at the same time inadvertently ruining Riley’s carefully constructed ‘special operation.’

“Suvolte demons? They don’t even lay eggs.”

Trying to sort her head out, Buffy goes to Spike to help her feel better (as in canon), and Riley finds them and spits his bullshit about the doctor.

Because Buffy knows the eggs thing is BS, however, she stops to actually ask Spike about them. Turns out, when given the chance, he has a perfectly reasonable explanation.
