(Based on this prompt from aenigmaticdays)

In a fit of boredom one night (and a generous glass of wine), Jane finds herself in a chat room for her old alumni where she meets a charming, witty man who graduated a few years ahead of her. And who understands her username.

So begins an online friendship filled with easy banter and the occasional bad joke (and no personal information beyond the general descriptions of their professions). As Jane’s life is thrown into a tailspin of burgeoning success in the scientific community, finally catching the eye of her secret crush, and having to deal with the most arrogant, awful man in the private sector who controls her new funding, she lives for the respite of her near daily chats with youweremadetoberuled.

Only, the line between friendship and something more has begun to blur. And he may not be all she thinks he is.

It’s about 99% likely that I will make this into a full fic. (So, nobody snag this without checking with me first, pretty, pretty please!) But for now, I’ll be posting some of their chats.

Next chat
