《Behind the Camera's (Hiddleston/Cumberbatch Fan Fiction) (Wattys 2014 #11)》First meeting.
Advertisement
On Wednesday afternoon I begin to get my things ready for the meeting tomorrow. I get my plans and ideas and put them in my briefcase. I have this little thing where I have to prepared for everything at least 24 hours before it happens.
Once everything is done I sit down and turn the telly on. I tune onto BBC1 to see that Tom and my boss are on the One show.
I can get why Tom is on but my boss?.
they are talking about our show. There doing this without me?, before I have even spoke to them properly about it. I mean how do they know we are defiantly going through with it!?
" I just want my fans to know that my life isn't much different to theirs, that I am normal". Tom says.
I doubt that a Hollywood star leads a normal life...
" Well I know I look forward to seeing it, and you fans probably can't wait. I am afraid that is all the time we have left. Until the next show it is a bye from us. Enjoy the rest of your day". the presenter says.
5 minutes After the show ends I phone my boss.
"Hello" he says over the phone.
" Why the fuck are you going on to shows to promote our show now, we haven't even spoken about it yet and your leaving me out!" I shout down the phone.
" Wow Sarah calm down, it was just a little teaser, to let them know about it, I promise not to leave you out again" he laughs.
" Don't treat me like a child, I am keeping you to that promise" I say hanging up the phone.
I decide to get an early night and go to my bed.

---------
At 7:30am I am woken by the sound of my alarm going off.
I roll over and turn it off.
I sit up sighing.
how come even if I get 12 hours sleep compared to my usual 7 I still feel really tired.
I get out if my bed and head for the shower.
I let the water run before getting in.
I wash my hair with my favorite coconut shampoo.
after that I put on my Black skirt and fancy white Blouse.
at 8:30 I phone for a cab.
I have half an hour to do my hair.
I decide to put it into a bun. I want to look as professional as possible.
I check my phone to find 3 missed calls and 8 messages from Rachel.
that girl....
I don't bother checking the other 7 messages when I read the first one that says:
'Today's the day, tell Tom I love him'
Like I am going to tell a guy I just meet, Hi, you don't know my friend but she is in love with you, like completely obsessed.
I would be fired on the spot and probably have a restraining order put on me and my friend.
I hear the horn of my taxi and quickly put on my jacket, leaving the house.
Here goes the biggest opportunity of my life......
---------
I arrive at the office at 9:20, 20 minutes before the meeting begins.
I get to my bosses office after being stopped by almost all the woman in the building to be asked about the new show. Apparently they are all fans of Tom. Let's hope he has Body guards or God help him....
" Ah Sarah your here early" my boss says as I walk into the office.
" Yes you know how I like to be early for things". I say.

" You and me both". I hear a voice say from the far end of the room.
I turn to find Tom Hiddleston standing smiling.
He is quite tall, at least 6ft or more and he has a very good posture, slim body, and that face... wait what am I doing?.
" Sarah?" My boss says trying to get my attention.
I turn back to my boss. " Sorry I was just.....never mind, let's get on with this meeting". I say sitting down.
" Yes let's" my boss says sitting at the table next to me.
" Please join us Mr Hiddleston" I say pointing to a chair.
" Please call me Tom" he says sitting down.
" Ok Tom, I am sure you have many Questions?" I say to him.
As he speaks I can't help but stare at his face. I can see why my friend likes him.....I am doing it again!. What is wrong with me.
" I have one and that is I won't be made to look bad will I?".
" Of course not, this show, is too show what celebrities are like when they aren't filming or at interviews. the only person that can make you look bad, is yourself" I tell him.
" Ok, well I guess I am fine with everything. When is it we begin filming?" He asks.
" This time next week, we will come to you" my boss says.
" How long will the series last?" He asks.
" 1 episode a week for 8 weeks and they will each be 40 mins long apart from the final which will be 1 hour" my boss says.
" Great, I look forward to meeting again" he says.
We all stand up.
" as do we Tom, Sarah will show you our" my boss says.
Oh will I now, when did I become the Secretary.
I just smile and take him out.
" I think it is good of you too show the real world you life" I sat to him while we are walking.
" Thank you, I want my fans to know...
" your Normal" I say finishing his sentence.
" Yeah how did you know I would say that?" He asks.
" Little thing called the one show" I say.
" Ah yes that, I felt it wan unfair of him to leave you out of that, you are an important part of all his" he smiles.
"th-thank you" I say to his kind words.
" Well I look forward to the filming, it was a pleasure" he says kissing my hand.
I blush. " And y-you" I manage to say.
he smiles once more before leaving.
I sigh as he leaves.
Does he have that effect on everyone?.....

The White Rabbit: Book 2
In the Urillian Empire, the Empress Xandra rules three-quarters of the planet Xren from her home in the capital of the Earth Continent. Both the fire and water peoples have fallen under her might after a series of wars stretching back three centuries. Earth elves, under Xandra's rule, have spread throughout the planet and established colonies, and are, by all accounts, enjoying what seems to be a prosperous and happy existence. But not everyone in Uril is happy. The holy books speak of elves as the Chosen People of Thesis, tasked with guiding and protecting the lower races. For some people, this scripture has been interpreted to designate their life as one on the lowest rungs of society. Humans have been reduced to a slave class, and serve their elven masters under Xandra's rule, kept at bay by the constant fear of the dreaded Emerald Knight, and their own perceived weakness. Humans do not lead long lives, nor do they possess the wisdom, power, or magical acumen of their elven masters. But there is hope. A group of people have banded together to fight against Xandra, her Knight, and her empire. They call themselves the "Knights of Order" united under the principle idea that Xandra's reign has brought chaos unto Xren, and they wish to restore order. These Knights are led by a man named Xaxac Brigaddon, spoken of as a legend. They say that when the moons are full, some humans transform into powerful beasts. They say that Xaxac is the most powerful warrior on Xren, that in his youth he was enslaved and forced to fight other humans to the death in a bloodsport called "cage fighting", that he could not be touched and held the world championship title for three years running until he faked his own death and escaped his master to join the resistance. They say that he has friends in high places- noblemen, pirates, and the devil himself. They say that if you can find him, he can ferry you to freedom in places where the Earth Elves fear to tread. They say that he is immune to magical attack, and his eyes shine like the silver moon. They say that he is descended from Quizlivian Brigaddon, one of the humans who helped the demon Magnus escape a god. They say that if you want to walk the Path of Order, you should follow the White Rabbit.Come and watch the transformation from human boy to Knight of Order: The life and times of Xaxac OfAgalon OfLangil Brigaddon. Content Warning: This work is based on the real experiences of human trafficing survivors. Xaxac's origins are based on true events, and they are presented realisitcally; this includes but is not limited to: isolation, gaslighting, emotional and sexual abuse, and grooming tactics. This work is meant to hold a mirror up to society; it is based on the real of experiences of people who have experienced slavery and/or abuse. It is an adult work and probably should not be read by anyone under the age of 18. If you are a survivor of human trafficing and/or abuse, your feedback is welcome, but please do not read this if you think it may trigger your trauma. I did not write this with the intention of harming anyone, but rather to provide accurate representation for a group that does not normally get it in the hopes of changing the zeitgeist. I would like to see a world where more people understand what these experiences are like, so that real survivors do not have to deal with microagressions from an ignorant public. Reader discretion is advised. This book does not display these elements as heavily as book 1.

Hell Hath no Hoagie
Steve, a half-demon on his mother's side, must find the sandwich that will bring upon the end of times! Or at least, that's what he tells his demonic bosses. In truth, he'd much rather just hang out with his friends, a Judge who summons bunnies to maintain the balance of good and evil, a hell-knight who enjoys slaughtering said bunnies, and a tortured soul who is perpetually on fire (who would very much like to snuggle said bunnies but has been told multiple times not to). Steve was supposed to care for the antichrist, and not let the guy get addicted to MMORPGs. But Steve claims that a terrific sandwich will awaken the bloodlust in the antichrist, and so he joins his companions on a road trip to find the most delicious, most evil, most apocalyptic-inducing sandwich of all time... and maybe a taco.

I am not the Hero
Disclaimer: This is a slow burn story that integrates both Fantasy and somewhat sci-fi. The MC will be more of an anti-hero who will kill any and everyone that he pleases while still understanding the plight of a Villain. This is also family-centric with a dash of hidden identity, Yandere Romance, Blackmail, and a lot of character growth. === Why is life precious? Because you only have one. Then what about the person who took over 999 lives? Who died 999 tragic death as a villain? Then, how would someone like that live? The answer is simple... as he damn wishes. “I-it’s not like I did it for you, you spinless Warrior.” “Good, the doors to your left, you may leave now.” He said to the tsundere Knight. PAH! “How dare you hit a woman?” “Who cares if you’re a woman? You slapped me when I just saved your life!” “You touched my chest!” “I said it was an accident, and again, I just saved your life — you know what? Fuck you, die here if you want to.” “Wait, wait, come back! Don’t leave me here! I’m sorry!” the princess screamed for help after being tossed to the side of the road. Theo did all this, yet to his dismay somehow, his reputation remained good in the eyes of many! A Hero, A Righteous Warrior, Benevolent King, Shadow Lord, Beast Keeper — such were the names given to him... To all of this, his reaction was always the same. “WHY!? How did they come to the conclusion that I’m a Hero? Even my other identities who massacred a lot of people, mind you, are not any different!” [I know, right?] “Shut up, Goddess!” This is the story of the most malicious villain turned Hero. The one with the darkest heart shining with the most brilliant name. He does not hide, nor run, he’s — The Villain Savior. === Final Notes: If you want to support the story, encourage the author, or just flat out want to read ahead, head over to the Patreon where you'll be a week ahead.
