BtVS: Stumbling on the Fields of Praise, by Dipenates

FANDOM: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
FIC LINK: Stumbling on the Fields of Praise
AUTHOR LINK: [archiveofourown.org profile] Dipenates, [fanfiction.net profile] Dipenates
RATING/WARNING(S): ~PG-13 | None
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete | ~725 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Riley Finn

FIC SUMMARY: In Sunnydale, no one went to church. Which was kind of ironic, because there was so little that was truly bad in Huxley, Iowa and yet he could count the people who hadn’t gone to church on one hand.

RECCER'S NOTES:

Riley is probably the second most despised Buffy character, behind only Kennedy, and there's so little Riley-centric fanfiction that doesn't make him into a monster. This insightful study builds from the fact he's only the only Buffy character shown attending church, and takes a serious look at what the Buffyverse might do to an ordinary person with religious faith. A quiet gem.
