Pairing: Ben Barnes/William Moseley.
Rating: R.

Summary: What happens when the bright lights of fame begin to fade? What are you really left with? One minute you’re living in the lap of luxury, and the next, you’re living out of a suitcase and sleeping on your parents couch because they were certain you were never coming back. It’s time for a reality check. Sometimes slotting back into the real world is even harder than you think it’s going to be. When fame no longer comes knocking, it’s time to figure out what really matters. And it’s never what you expect.

( For the third time in the past two minutes Ben strained to hear exactly what his brother was saying. He cowered in the corner, phone pressed hard to his ear, a finger in the other to try and block out the commotion going on around him. )

Current Mood: okay
Current Music: Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Queen

( Ben’s eyes fluttered open as Will stepped away from the bed and picked up his keys, the jangle of key rings knocking together stirring him. It was one thing to be woken by the sound of the alarm clock going off, but to be woken by a kiss and then have the kisser leave immediately afterwards was just plain unfair. )

( ‘Ben it’s June.’ ‘What’s your point?’ Will blinked. ‘Only that and the fact you’re – and I can’t believe I’m saying this – Christmas shopping,’ he replied, laughing. )

Current Mood: complacent

A/N: So this part doesn’t exactly pick up where the last one left off, but you’ll see...

( For the last half an hour, Ben had been sat up in bed with his ear pressed to the wall, listening to the strange sounds coming from next door. )

A/N: I’ve gone over this chapter a million times and I’m still not entirely happy with it, but there’s only so much editing I can do before I go out of my mind, so I’m going ahead and posting it before I just... don’t lol.

( Moving to prop his head up on his hand, Ben peered over at the sleeping form of Will beside him. The younger man had dozed off an hour ago and Ben didn’t have the heart to wake him, even though he knew he should so he could head back home again. )

Current Mood: tired

Posting this now to get it out of the way. Got a busy weekend ahead of me (for once).

( Oxford Street in mid January, it was Ben’s worst nightmare. Yet, here he was, traipsing the length and breadth of it, list firmly in hand. )

Current Music: Wait, Take That

For anyone who's seeing this and wondering where the next part of my Ben/Georgie fic is, never fear, it's in the works, I just have a lot going on at the moment. It'll be up and finished as soon as things have settled down a little more in my life. Sorry for the long wait.

A/N: This fic was originally written as one of three for NaNoWriMo back in November, so at some point in the future there will be another two to accompany it in both Harry Potter and Doctor Who fandoms. Set in 2017.

( Following an elderly couple down the ramp, pulling his hand luggage behind him, Will slid his mobile phone from his jacket pocket and switched it back on. He waited several moments for a beep or vibration, but nothing happened, so it went straight back where it had come from, his mouth turning down into a frown. )

Title: The truth is hard to find when it’s playing tricks with your mind (2/3).

Rating: PG-13 (R overall).
Warnings: Real person het.
Word count: 6,083.
Summary: Ben hasn’t seen Georgie for a few years, so it’s a pleasant surprise when he bumps into her at a party. What he doesn’t expect, however, is to end up giving a helping hand with her love life. He takes it in his stride though and does what he can, something he soon comes to regret when he begins to see her in a different light himself.
A/N: Sorry, this part seemed to take me forever to finish – I blame Christmas for it entirely, this last week or so has been particularly hellish (aside from seeing Dawn Treader twice anyway).
Previous parts: Part one.

( ‘Are you ready?’ ‘I’ve been ready for the last ten minutes.’ Ben chuckled, pushing himself away from the wall he’d been leaning against and shooting the sales assistant a look. )

Current Mood: fed up

A/N: Title is taken from Flowerbed by Take That. Georgie’s boyfriend in this is played by Harry from One Direction (I don’t know, don’t ask me to explain!). Unbeta’d, so all mistakes are mine.

( He never expected to see her there. He never expected to see anyone there, not really, but she made such a grand entrance that it was impossible to ignore. )
