Hi, I'm Rea. Enthusiastic reader. I sometimes draw, and recently also write. :)
I watched BtVS and AtS in 2023, and the Buffyverse and its characters immediately gained a special place in my heart.
I'll read pretty much anything, but I'm especially a big fan of redemption arcs, hurt/comfort, and time travel stories. I have a possibly unhealthy attachment to the emotional mess that is season 6, and a soft spot for fics where Buffy gets to meet William.

Summary: Riley Finn knows that when a man really wants something, he makes it happen — and what he really wants is his happily ever after with Buffy, so he takes matters into his own hands.
Buffy Summers knows that when a door closes… well, you generally kick it open, or something. Even if the kicking is somewhat hindered at the moment, and your only ally happens to be a certain bleached menace of a vampire.
