Pretty interesting premise on how Riley ended up at the SGC. I can see him being a bit resentful to Buffy and the other slayers, he always had a problem dealing with Buffy's abilities. But I think he'd do well at the SGC.
I like how SG-1 did like him, just be careful that he doesn't turn into a Mary Sue like character. I could see how they'd be attracted to those qualities in him though. He was something of a boy scout and all those years of working with the Scoobies and the Initiative definitely gave him skills that would be easily transferred to the SGC.
One quibble, Jack and Sam would have never told another member of the military, especially a lower ranking member to call them by their name and not by rank.
But I really like what you've written before and I can't wait to see how you combine these two worlds.

Yep you are probably right about Jack and Sam allowing someone to call them by their first names. I will fix it. Thanks for the feedback.
As far as Riley goes, you will find out exactly why he is there soon.

Nice development so far. Of course Riley good on his job. Go'uld is so much simpler to kill rather than demon. They don't have paralysing snot and susceptible to bullets etc. Good work.
you cruel cruel person.. ending right there just as Maj Davis hands over the disclosure agreements..
seriously though loved your characterzations. Both Jack and Sam's insists were dead on.. freakishly accurate. the same could be said for Daniel and Teal'C.
so now I can't wait till SG-1 reads the non disclosure agreement and finds out the reason why Riley is at the SGC

good start but one thing bugged me, O'Neill would never call Carter Sam. It was always either Carter or Captain/Major but otherwise very nice start.

I missed this one. When I went back and checked a couple of episodes, sure enough, all Carters, no Sams. I am making that change. Thanks for the feedback.

"... Riley could only imagine how well that over..."
I can't even figure out what you meant to say :)
Comments from author:
I guess my language was off. I meant in how the it went over with Buffy having the mini-slayers being in awe of her. I don't think Buffy is one of those who likes to be hero worshipped.
So far, I see the fic has a potential to be a good one. I can't help but feels that Riley's ego had been a little bit bruised, having Slayers rescued them and always a step ahead of them. Why Riley and Sam separated though? I kinda like the woman. Post more soon, okay.

Sam and Riley split up for a reason. I will get to it soon enough. While this is not exactly a shipper fic, there will be a slow built up romance within.
I always did think Riley got the short end myself.
Should be fun seeing how he handles the SGC

Me too. I like that they redeemed him somewhat in Season 6. Unfortunately for my fic to work, he needed to be made superfluous in his current career in order to start a new one.
