The Blind Date by Redwoman +16
Responses: 2
Categories: All Human
Characters: Buffy, William, Xander
Summary:

Bummed out and a little miffed that he's, again, the only male friend in the group; Xander devises the most perfect plan to get things back to the way they used to be.

If Xander sets Buffy up on a blind date with a total loser, knowing it'll end in nothing else but a disaster, then she'll naturally realize just how good she had it with Riley and want him back in her life! Back in all of their lives!! 

Enter bookish/nerdy William. (Author's choice of how Xander knows William). He's of course the perfect target loser for the blind date. There's no way Buffy would go for a man like him.

Except that she does. Because once she sets her eyes on Will, she falls. Hard. 

Safe to say that Xander's plan has backfired. 

Must Have: Buffy and William hitting it off right from the start

Can Have: Willow being in on the plan as well. 

Can't Have: -major angst

-cannot be set in the buffyverse or canon world.

Author's choice on why Buffy and Riley broke up. Can be like it was in the show or something else.



Summary: Xander needs to bring Riley back into the fold. William Pratt's the way to go about it.
