Sunnydale After Dark
FeatureSummary: After a not-so-stellar experience with Parker Abrams, Buffy's ready to swear off love—or maybe people in general. But Willow has other plans and nudges her into the world of Yahoo Messenger. Soon 'Randy' enters the chat, the mysterious guy who ticks all the right boxes. He's funny, sweet, and ridiculously understanding. As Buffy finds herself eagerly waiting for his messages, she can't help but think she's found the digital Prince Charming she never knew she needed. But there's just one tiny problem—Randy is actually Spike, her fanged nemesis! Between online flirting and secret identities, Buffy is in for a huge surprise. An AU of Season 4, takes place after "The Harsh Light of Day"

Story Notes: Story Notes: I promised myself no more WIPS until I finished More than a Crush and Chosen One, but that kind of went out of the window when I signed up for the Trapped Challenge. *Face palm.* So, I decided to go for it and start this story now. I am now currently at four WIPS, including the one for the Trapped Challenge. I'm almost finished with More than a Crush, and I don't anticipate this story being very long. I wrote this one on a whim because my muse was being a little stubborn, and what started as a fun writing exercise turned into a thing.
Anyway, this story is unbeta'd. I didn't want to bog down my current betas with another one of my projects. So, if anyone is interested in taking this story on, please shoot me a PM. I don't have a posting schedule, and I am definitely pantsing this one. The goal is to post another chapter soon. 
About the Story:
Plenty of Fish is a season 4 AU that takes place after "The Harsh Light of Day" and incorporates Spike's chip. Other than that, the story diverges quite a bit from canon. It's really meant to be a fluffy read with short-ish chapters. I hope you all enjoy it!

Hey, everyone! POF is back. I took a two-week break because my viscount and viscountess in "A Marriage Of Inconvenience" would not let me sleep until I got their story out. Now that they've gotten their HEA, I can get back to Randy and JAG. 

Trigger warning for brief SA (I did not put much detail into it because of my own college experience).
