I just wrote this and have no idea how to end it or if I'd continue it

Characters are DATA (android), William(human), a random brownie

________

Something that DATA couldn't distinguish caused him to crash - merely to analyze the being he's seen, added with a glitch in which he'd just freeze. The android prototype couldn't analyze and move at once, with his system saying "UPDATE NEEDED".

"Wow wow wow. Here lil guy" The being had been stopped by William's hand, his police partner. They were cupped around the being, while still close to the ground.

Finally his database and internet search gave him the answer.

Brownie. A humanoid being with a tail and some animal features, this one additionally seemed to borrow from human beings so they were a borrower, caught in the action of borrowing it seemed and looked terrified.

Terrified of DATA more than the human who caught him. The metal noise he was making, the way he turned by moving his torso first...

"HI" DATA knelt, and the brownie backed away in Will's hands. However the brownie realized where they were and gasped in realization as they looked at Will's face.

Both were towering over the poor guy. Will was sitting and holding him in cupped hands, DATA kneeling, trying to think of the best words to use. If only by William's presence DATA would have teased the brownie by poking and handling gently, however his crashing means that his limbs could too.

"I'msorryiwontdoitagainpleasedontkillme" The brownie sobbed, and squeaked as William moved his cupped hands upwards, raising them to a table. "No!! Pleaseletmego-!!"

To his surprise, the small person was let go... Technically. He wasn't on any hands but he still was high above the ground, stopping any way to escape...

DATA and William taking all of his vision.

Poor tiny being, terrified out of his mind could not take his mind off DATA.

Being stared at made DATA smile and make a cute blep. This android had a tongue and it was black, but only a cute bitten tip showed up in an attempt to be cute.

Then suddenly, the crusty and potato shaped chips appeared in front of the brownie's body.

"It's alright. We've noticed."

Tears streamed down. Was he doomed? They waited for him to come out and kill him?

"DATA HAD NOTICED THAT-"

His booming voice made him cringe. DATA tried again, lowering the volume of his voice by turning the module on his headset.

His tone was the same, as if he didn't have the means to variate his verbal language yet. It sounded pretty unnatural. Not emotionless, but... Like something else.

"SORRY. MY NAME IS DATA, DATA IS AN ANDROID. A..."

Brownie's eyes opened wide. No one who planned to hurt something smaller than them would explain to them who or what they are...

"A MACHINE EQUIPPED WITH SENTIENCE AND OWN DESIRES. THIS IS WILLIAM, MY PARTNER."

Thoughts seemed to swirl in this brownie's brain.

"Like Robocop? You watch it sometimes... You look like Robocop kind of" The brownie said quietly

DATA straightened up. "I WAS NOT BUILT AFTER HIM. MY CHOSEN FUNCTION... IS TO BE A ROBOT POLICEMAN..."

William chuckled, "You're like Robocop."

DATA blushed... That showed by a slight change of colors on his face and LEDs. He decided to change the subject.

"WE HAVE NOTICED. IT IS NOT THE FIRST TIME WE SEE A BORROWER. DATA HAVE NEVER SEEN A BROWNIE THOUGH. IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE?"

found my old mp3 player (did not find, it lives in a place of honor in my cave area) and I don't have any non-broken wired earphones that aren't my persnickety headset from high school animation class so I'm just listening to bar none the worst dubstep on my crusty cans like. Yeah this is a pretty good experience (genuine) (night of nights is on here)

Minors DNI 18+ only

Ik this comes up a lot but consider: Shigaraki playing video games while fucking you, but has you wear his head set so the others can hear how good he’s making you feel.

Tw: Degradation, Voyeurism, dirty talk

Pairing: Shgaraki x fem! reader (feat. the rest of the league)

You’re riding Shigaraki, but facing away from the screen and at first it starts out as him having you cock warm him as he plays. You’re gripping onto his shoulders and even sucking marks into his neck to keep the noises in. If you even move the slightest bit he’ll slap your ass to quiet you down.

It isn’t until he can’t stop focusing on how tight you are around him, your pussy practically sucking him in that he starts to actually fuck you. He thrusts up once before an idea strikes him.

Slowly, he takes off the headset and places it on your head. You look at him with wide eyes but all you get in response is a wide grin followed by him gesturing for you to keep quiet.

Once he knows it’s on securely, he’s thrusting up into you, the game long forgotten.

“Shiggy what the hell are you doing we’re dying out here!” Spinner shouts followed by the rest of the group. You whimper, clutching onto Shigaraki for dear life, biting your lip to keep the rest of the sounds out. Your nails dig into his back, causing him to groan into your chest.

He pulls all the way out only to thrust back into you causing you to lose your composure. A loud moan rips its way out of your throat before you can stop it causing silence to fall on the other end of the headset. It’s quiet until Dabi begins to laugh.

“Are you kidding?! Is Crusty really making you feel that good?” He asks, but it’s more mocking. Your stomach swoops at the tone causing another breathy whimper to escape you.

“He’s not the only one,” a voice you can only assume as Compress says. He tuts at your reaction. “Such a naughty little thing getting off on us degrading you, hm? What would the heroes think?”

You can barely keep up with the way Shiggy is attacking your nipples and rubbing at your clit almost as if he’s an animal, needing you to come vs the way Dabi and Compress’ words send liquid heat boiling through your stomach making you shiver.

“She’s so cute like this,” Toga coos when you sob at a deep thrust into your pussy. “I bet she looks even cuter when she cums.”

“Please,” you keen. You don’t know what you’re begging for, but you can feel your chest vibrate from where Shigaraki is which sends shivers through you. The others on the call do a mixture between squealing and scoffing.

“Such a slut, you love being a little fuck hole for the boss don’t you?” Dabi sneers. All you can do is babble agreements.

“And she doesn’t even deny it, she has no shame moaning like a whore. You’re our whore now, aren’t you?” Compress asks, you squeeze down on Shigaraki without meaning to bringing both of you closer to the edge.

Your moans are higher in pitch causing Toga and Twice to squeal at you.

“You’re so close aren’t you? You’re so good makes me want to play with you,” Toga says in a sing song. “Please oh please let me play with you!”

“Want it,” you slur, mind heavy. “Please Toga want you to play with me, need it.”

A moan of her own sounds through the headset. You can feel your release coming, but it isn’t enough.

“More, need more!” Is the only thing you can say.

“Go ahead baby,” Jin’s voice is quiet, unsure. It’s sweet and softer than the other’s. “Cum, you can do it. Cum for me.”

That’s all you needed, tossing your head back you scream when your orgasm hits you. Shigaraki isn’t far behind, thrusting a few more times before he pulls out and cums on your stomach. Both of you take a second to catch your breath again. When you do Shigaraki spins the both of you towards the bro where he rests your upper body while your legs are still on the chair.

“Tomura, what?”

The only answer he gives is when he leans over your torso with his tongue sticking out of your mouth. He starts at your belly and licks up to your ribs, cleaning his cum off of you all while maintaining eye contact. Your breath hitches. He doesn’t stop until all of it is cleaned off. Only then does he lean in for a kiss, twisting your tongues together where his taste still lingers.

“M proud of you,” he says pulling away. He brushes the hair out of your face with a fond smile. “You did so good for me, such a good girl.” You beam under the praise.

“Are you alright darlin?” Compress’ voice startles you. It isn’t until then that you realize you still have the head set on. You jump before nodding only to remember they can’t see you. Tomura snorts at you which in turn he receivers a playful glare from you.

“Oh, um yeah, I’m good.”

“Alright, we’ll be down in a couple of seconds, but first we’ll go get some snacks,” Spinner says causing a wave of affection to hit you. “Next time,” he adds. “I’m joining.”

Celestial Live-Reacts: STP 2.8, 'Mercy

... So, last week, we had Q as the sun, brain and heart, and him behind a white door that hides the truth. Tough act to follow, lads 😂

Shall we see if they pull it off?

"I will do anything to have her survive", says the 'previously on...' for this week - mirroring before the episode even starts, we love to see it

Torchy flashbacks?

... The fuck? Is that Ricardo???? 🤔

Ducaine from Temporal Investigations in Voyager is wild

... And creepy...

Ooo, early titles today! This shit hits different after knowing about the opening credits...

CINDY APPEL'S BACK 😍😍 The legend herself! Oh, now I have hope for this episode ❤

"It's 2024 - people have trouble with revolving doors, never mind a Borg Queen" - Okay, a. rude and b. unnecessary 😂

Trouble in paradise?

Sister Seven, so wholesome ❤

... They're really selling Ducaine as not being Ducaine 😆

"I was dehydrated - after all, I'm only human." You wonderful, sarcastic bastard you 😂

Poor Kore, bless her 😔

Nice VR headset there chuck

"Patience, mon petit." Ohhhh, hello there king - on the French already I see 😍

"A friend, a firestarter, a simulacra - a living program, planted here when I hacked into your father's system, waiting for you to arrive at this very moment." More competent genius!Q, fuck yes 😍😍

"He created you, then locked you in a prison. I'm sending you the key - are you brave enough to use it?" Mmm... like Picard 'created' this situation, locking Q within - now, is he brave enough to alter his original mistake? Very clever ❤

... It has a BOW, he's so extra 😂

'Freedom'? He gave her the cure, like he gave Picard the answer 😍

Dead guy 👀

"In her shoes, I'd want nothing but connection." 😭 Bless Seven

"Can you try and be a little less happy that I'm defective?" I'm about to form the Seven Defence League here 🙁

Metallic smell, metallic taste... still lingering, from the age of six. Fuck, man.

Three Agnes settings: here, there and gone 😆

... She's still in there, bless her ❤

They're so BORED 😂

Fuck's sake Rios 😂

"A crusty old admiral", ouch 😅

Ricardo is baby 😍

Theresa: ????????????? 😂

Cake!

Trios do be beautiful though 😍

"I'd like to have more in my memory bank than all the times I saved your ass." "I like to think that we saved each other." Lovely ❤

"Pretend we're married. We used to spend every second together. Now, it feels like a business partnership. We talk, but we don't talk. Then we get stuck together, literally. Driving to see family for Christmas, and break down. We're stuck in a shitty motel. We go to a bar, and hang out for the first time in so long. I've been thinking about having an affair with a friend from work."

...

... What in the fucking fuck. 😂😂

Cindy, you need to be stopped 🤣 I am going insane, dear sweet christ...

Obviously this story is poetic licence to a degree, but fuck... shall we apply this to Picard, for just one second? 'We talk in riddles; we get stuck together in 2024, after I've gone to see my family in the past. The ship breaks down, and we're in this crappy, crappy place. We see one another for the first time in ages, and I've been considering being with Laris'.

... So Q is already framed as the husband. As the constant, the misunderstood, but the loved. And this is in Spanish, another Romance language, by the way, as though the connection wasn't obvious enough. I am UNHINGED 😂😂

"Is this you being romantic?" Of course it is, Q-Rios. He's a speechmaker. 😂

"At this bar, you tell me something about yourself. I've known you for ten years, and it brings me to tears - I never knew that. That's what I want you to tell me now, before I fly away - a fundamental, deepest truth, that in another life it took me a decade to learn about you."

... It DOESN'T END, what is my life 😂😂

"Before I fly away." "A fundamental, deepest truth." ... We're going to hear what Q was going to say in AGT. John's already told us about 'a whisper' being his favourite and most important moment of the season, and Picard's going to hear it, and have to leave.

... Fuck me. I'm dead now. No more. 😂😂 This meta I'm about to write is going to pop the fuck OFF...

Let's not even talk about the Tapestry bar relevance here, the fact that the 'friend from work' could also be Bev... it's over, I am SO DONE 😂

... Ah, bollocks. We're only twenty minutes in. I have to live-react more. The things I do for you people 😂😂 *screams*

Rios: "That, uhm... the moment I fell for you, I -" ... There are just SO MANY THINGS they could have put here, after this and instead of it, but I'll keep it simple: "I'm in love with you." Jesus christ. 👁👄👁

... They snog. Just consider the potential foreshadow of that, in light of what we've just heard and can now foresee, and die along with me 😂😍😍

"Details!" says Ducaine, as we flip directly to him after hearing all of this. Very subtle Cindy, congrats on that 😂😂 What the fuck

Ducaine, tell Uncle Jean-Luc who you are dear ❤

Q HAS INFILITRATED THE FBI. He has a phone, he's a genius, and he's in the FBI now. Dear lord 😂

John de Lancie just looks hot in anything doesn't he, my god 👁👄👁

"YOU? You summoned me?" "You must be Q." YES. Q AND GUINAN ACTION 😍😍😍 Fucking hell, this episode is a delight

He did hear it, then! But he's alarmingly slow... 😭

"And you are that multi-celled, sanctimonious, droning shrew known as Guinan." 😂😂 Beautiful

Ahh, she doesn't know him yet!

"The summoning is a SACRED RITUAL, not a CHAT" 😂 This whole thing is going to be gold-pressed latinum isn't it

Also, 'bipeds'? Q is a sentient gas cloud in his normal form confirmed?

"When the ritual stalled, I felt something - emptiness, and fear. I thought it was me, but it wasn't. I feel it on you. You're dying." ... I mean, I knew, but I didn't KNOW know and like... 😭 His face, too? 😔

Random observation: even though Q wears his heart on his FBI sleeve far more than Jean-Luc, they both jump to immediate defence at being anything like understood. Fascinating...

"Yet, now... for the first time, as I look across the temporal horizon, it darkens. You think I'm dying... I prefer to believe that I am on the threshold of the unknowable." Christ. "I've always filed Q as unknowable," anyone?

"When I first felt it, I thought to myself, 'This is good. This is new.' Infinite life, after all, has its drawbacks." ... Oh dear fuck. I am crushed. 😭

"And so I prepared myself to be enveloped by the warm glow of meaning. Well, that moment... has yet to come. Not even a glimmer. Dying stars burn brighter as they spin toward extinction; I, on the other hand, seem to be simply disappearing... into nothing." 😭😭😭

Okay, this is horrendous, and John's fucking stunning in selling this quiet, hopeless pain 😍😍 but...

... As though we didn't already know he was the sun, wow... and it's so very bright behind that door...

*snap snap snap* "You see that? I'm honestly trying to vaporise you at this moment." 😂 That is SO Q - reveal, then hide. As opposed to hide, and reveal, Jean-Luc? 🤔

"This thing you're doing to Picard, it's how you're hoping to find... meaning in your life?" Oh what the shit. 👀 It is, isn't it? This is his purpose; this is what his life has led to: saving Picard.

"I now have a lifetime. Can a single act redeem a lifetime?" Oh, you sentimental bastard. 😭 It is. And he's painted himself as the sun, the heart and the brain... this isn't just 'meaning', darling. This is love. And it's not like I wasn't fully aware from the very beginning that he was doing this for love, but... wow. Wow. 😍😭

"The trap is immaterial - it's the escape that counts." What are you dying for, otherwise? 😔

"I'll see you when I see you... unfortunately." 😆

... My god. There's still more of this episode isn't there. I wish for sweet death. 😂😭😭

Kick his ARSE Kore, you princess you 😍

"Daughter of Zeus. Father of the gods." Brilliant, particularly because the Greeks painted their gods as poetic-mythic, and thus full of human flaws. 😍

First DOZEN? The fucking god complex on this man... 😡

"'Success'? Not 'love'?" Man is a bona fide psychopath, bet Spiner's loving this 😂

"You exist because I willed it. Of course I love my work, but I love you, too." I am incredibly hesitant to compare this man directly to Q when he's the evil overlord god and Q is the good benevolent god, but... yeahhh. He's saved Picard five times now, at least - and he does love his powers, but he loves Picard too. ❤

"Maybe it's you who doesn't exist without me." I think that what's Q afraid of, yeah... 😔

Tech wives 😍

Oh, hello Elnor! ❤ This is very sweet 😍

... I take it back 😂 Damn, Raf... she thinks she got him killed. 😔 We love to see a character acknowledging and conquering their flaws though 👏

"He stayed, for me. Then he died in my arms." ... Oh. Oh no. No no no. "The chase is dying in your arms," anyone? 😭😭 They're not going to actually do this, are they? REALLY?

I do not like Cindy Appel today 😂😔😔

"I assume a lecture on the futility of resistance isn't necessary." Oh fuck. God Complex, meet Queen Complex 👀

"'All humans are stuck in the past" - niiiiicely done Q. 😍

"I know a haunted man when I see one..." and then you look remarkably unconcerned by the thought of Q dying... 😒😒 Mark my words, Picard is too repressed - this is going to pay off massively when we destroy Q at the end 🙃

"You're the monster in the dark" 😍 Oh, would you look at that - he's a. just played by the same GUY as Ducaine, which is a nice touch, and b. is another human who misunderstands the good intentions of benevolent aliens! Fuck's sake Jean-Luc... 🙄

I love this. Vulcans trying to be kind and removing his memory, and they're so stoic they must have looked so uncaring... 😍 And of course, Picard knows Vulcans very well indeed. ❤

This is lovely 😍

Hello First Contact music... this man's a MCU extra, bless him 😂

"The man who cried alien" 😆

"That our destinies run apart and together..." 😍 Also very Qcard...

"I almost can't wait to meet you." "Et moi aussi." 😍😍😍 Best friendship ever.

Interesting partnership here...

"You lose a daughter... you become godfather to a world." Oh GODDAMMIT Adam 😒😒

They're after Picard...

OH GOOD. WE'RE ASSIMILATING THE SAS NOW. 😂😂 Sweet hell, they're so fucked...

... Jesus. Bloody. Christ.

Celestial Rating: 10/10.

... Yes, alright Cindy - take my first ten, you awful woman. 😒😂 This is simply stunning character work, sparkling dialogue and some truly horrific foreshadowing - but you'll have to see my meta tomorrow for more on the matter... 😘

Lights, Camera, Action

Part One

Masterlist

Summary: You’re a production assistant on the set of Cursed. The night before your first day at work, you opened your laptop to shockingly realise you’d be working with Daniel Sharman (and a plethora of other amazing actors), someone you’d been watching on screen since you were a teenager. You kept your expectations low, the PAs rarely got to interact with the talent…what was your chance?

Word Count: 2.5k

Tag list: @sxperncturalimpala67 @mrsaaronkeener @tinygardensoul @disasterday @5am-cigarette @lancelotapricot @demoiselle-en-detresse00 @slytherlight @18somethingpsyche @ceruleanmusings @glxctt @cavillxhenry @lovelyapplessss @hereagainsstuff @linkpk88 @aliceperdida @weeping-redemption @magicalsaladnacho

(I’m so sorry, tumblr isn’t letting me properly tag some of these accounts ;(

Warnings: Age gap between reader and Daniel, slow burn? (Don’t know if that should be a warning haha)

Notes: I didn’t specify the reader’s age since I wasn’t sure what you guys would be comfortable with ;) Plzz lmk what the maximum age gap is that you all would be okay with or I’ll just decide on one myself haha (also lmk if you’d like to be in the tag list!!). This is my first Daniel x reader fic so plz leave ideas and suggestions! (I myself am not actually sure where exactly this fic is going lmao). Tysm for reading!!

p.s Huey Kerrigan is the actual name of one of the second assistant directors of Cursed :)

Sunday, January 6th 2019

10:16 pm

You opened your laptop nervously, your leg bouncing against your couch. It was your last night as a jobless woman and that both excited and scared you. You opened your email, scanning your mail quickly before your eyes landed on “Call Sheet”. You clicked on the email and saw that there were two documents attached. The second was labelled “Cast List”. Your eyes widened when you realised you would be finding out who you were working with tonight. Not tomorrow. Not at work. Tonight.

You forgot about the call sheet and quickly clicked on the one about the cast. As your eyes scanned the list, you gasped audibly as a name caught your attention.

“Daniel Sharman”

Daniel Sharman? The Daniel Sharman? The one you had been practically in love with when you were 17? (Not anymore of course).

Your heart beat faster as you scanned the rest of the list….”Katherine Langford”…….”Gustaf Skarsgard”..those were the only other two names you recognised so far. Now you couldn’t wait to get to work. You were even more eager but also increasingly anxious to wake up tomorrow. Would you even get to see the actors? If you did, would you be able to meet them? You had so many questions but no one to answer them. Trying to push all of the increasingly complicated thoughts out of your mind, you closed your laptop and got up off the couch to head into your room. You lived alone in your flat, full of piles of DVDs in a corner, two worn out but comfy couches, and your greatest purchase to this day….a large flat screen TV. You wouldn’t call your flat small, it was just…cozy. You looked around at the space admiringly before entering your bedroom and closing the door behind you

Monday, January 7th 2019

4:15 am

You woke up with a jolt, breathing heavily. You looked around for your phone grabbing it and swiping across the screen to turn your alarm off. You closed your eyes and laid down, breathing deeply.

The day was finally here. Your first day on set. You had to admit that by now most of the excitedness had been replaced with anxious thoughts. You attempted to ignore them as you opened your phone again to check your messages etc. Nope, nothing interesting.

At 4:25 you finally decided to muster up all the strength you had to pull yourself out of bed. You had to be at work by 5:30 meaning you should leave around 5:10.

You sat at the edge of your bed, rubbing your eyes. You hoped you wouldn’t fall asleep on set….you wouldn’t be surprised if you did.

You got up and walked into your bathroom. You looked into the mirror and immediately looked away. Waking up at 4:00 had only made your eye bags more prominent. Your hair was disheveled and eyes crusty. You tried not to look at yourself again until after you were dressed. You freshened up, washed your face, brushed your teeth etc before going back in your room to wear your clothes.

You had had an outfit ready since last week. They had told you to wear comfortable clothing and comfortable shoes. The most comfortable thing you had were sweatpants but you knew they didn’t mean those so instead you settled for a pair of your most comfortable jeans and a plain black t-shirt.

You changed and then went to your dresser. After some concealer, mascara, and tinted lip balm..you looked a bit more presentable. You could’ve gone completely barefaced but it was your first day and you wanted to look good.

The nerves could’ve killed you at this point. It was exactly 5:05 when you grabbed the call sheet you had printed this morning, your phone, your keys, and headed out of your apartment. You rode down the elevator and arrived at your car, a second hand red Fiat.

You fumbled with your keys before pressing a button and unlocking your car. You sat in the front seat and started the engine,

5:28 am

You pulled into the parking lot of the studio and parked your car in the “crew” area. You hoped this wasn’t the director’s spot or anyone else’s for that matter. As a production assistant, you were right at the bottom of the film crew ladder and answerable to any and everyone on set. Although that thought scared you, you were completely new so hopefully they would cut you some slack.

A week ago when you had gotten a call from the second assistant director (AD), he had told you to come into the building and find him. From there he would tell you what to do.

You walked around to the back of the building where there were six or seven people walking around with headsets, setting up chairs and tables. There were also several trailers set up in the parking lot, no doubt some for the actors. You nervously went up to one of them,

“Hi, where could I find the second assistant director?” you asked

“You’re new?” he replied ignoring your question.

“Yeah” you said smiling slightly

“PA I’m guessing?” he said and you nodded

“He’s in the studio, ask any of the crew inside, they’ll know” he said and smiled, opening a chair.

“Thanks” you said and quickly walked inside through the back door.

Inside it was exactly like what you had imagined. People bustling around, many sporting walkie talkies and headsets. Some held papers, some were talking to each other. You stood in a hallway lined with grey walls. As you walked through the halls you came upon what you guessed was the main studio. It was huge, you could barely see the roof through all of the lighting fixtures. There were multiple props on set but you could tell that the set hadn’t been completely set up yet. This wasn’t the only studio though of course. Judging by the size of the building, there were probably multiple sets. You were in awe for a few moments before realising you had to find the AD. You went up to someone who was setting up water bottles on a long white table.

“Hey, would you happen to know where the second AD is?” you asked

She looked over her shoulder, her short blonde hair tied into a small bun at the back of her head,

“Yeah he’s right over there”, she pointed towards a man who was holding a clipboard and also wore a headset. He had black hair and glasses and looked to be about in his 40s.

You smiled gratefully at her before turning around and walking towards the man. He was looking at his clipboard intently, chewing on his black pen. Your heart beat faster, you hoped he was the right guy. You walked up to him, keeping your distance..not wanting to disturb his thought process.

“Hi I’m Y/N’ you said quickly, waiting for his response. It didn’t come. After a few seconds he looked up at you and put his pen in his pocket.

“PA right?” he asked unconcerned.

“Yes” you said letting out a breath, at least he remembered you.

“I’m Huey Kerrigan”, he suddenly started past you, towards the hallway. You followed him not knowing what else to do. He pointed at the large white table the girl was setting bottles of water on,

“This is the snacks table, you’ll have to set it up in the morning and also restock it throughout the day”

“Got it” you said quickly, not wanting to seem like you were ignoring him

He walked in front of you passing through the hallway and swerving around the many other members of the crew. He walked through the back door you had just passed through a few minutes ago into the cool fresh air. You took a deep breath and followed him to what looked like a charging station beside the tall concrete walls of the studio.

“These are the batteries, aka hot and cold bricks” he pointed to two crates and a table on which there were multiple charging batteries. The “station” was covered by a large white canopy.

“Hot bricks are charged batteries and you must have one on you the entire time in case a crew member needs it. They’ll give you their dead battery aka a cold brick and you bring it here to charge” you were silent for a few seconds trying to process what he had just told you.

“Got it?” he asked

“Yeah…got it” you stuttered smiling nervously

He continued walking and took you right to where all the trailers were parked.

“This is the basecamp,” he said, waving his hand towards all the trailers.

“All the actors’ trailers, the hair and makeup trailers, they’re all here”

You felt a jolt of excitement before remembering to reply, “Okay, cool”

He nodded and continued walking throughout the several trailers, there had to be at least forty. You also scanned your eyes over the area, hoping to maybe get a glimpse of the actors or their trailers.

As if he read your mind he said, “The talent isn’t here yet. They arrive around 6:20 am, get their hair and makeup done and start shooting around 8:30 am….of course this all depends on the day”

You nodded, making sure he saw you.

For the next 20 minutes he showed you around the basecamp and exactly where the makeup and hair trailers were. He also told you about how you never talked to the talent unless you had something to tell them, they had to be somewhere, or if they talked to you. You couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed, you weren’t surprised but had still hoped you’d get a small chance to maybe have a chat with the actors.

When you went back inside you saw that the studio had completely transformed. There was one set which looked to be a room with three or four beds and wooden features. Another set opposite that was of what looked to be a marble room with shelves and a white bed. It all looked so realistic that if you were in the set area you wouldn’t have even realized you were in a studio.

“We’re shooting a scene today from episode three, these sets” he waved towards the area, “are from scenes taking place in an abbey”

He stuck a hand down his pocket, wiggling his fingers about before removing it holding a crumpled paper.

“This is the main cast in these scenes,” he said, handing it to me. I nodded quickly grabbing and unfolding the sheet.

Your heart leapt inside of you when you realised you’d get to see all these actors today.

“You’re green so you won’t be needing the list today” he continued and you looked up from the paper, “but in a few days, you will”

You guessed green meant someone who was new.

He walked further into the studio, to the large snacks table and handed you four bottles of water. “You first task” he said smiling, “take these to the grips over there”. He pointed to four men on ladders adjusting the lighting above the wooden room set.

“Okay sure” you said grinning, happy you could start working.

“And then go over to the team of PAs and ask what else you can help with”

Before you could reply, he abruptly walked away and out of your sight. You took a deep breath and walked over to the set where the “grips” were. The set was amazing, the sheer detail of the beds and the door and the walls and the small trunks at the end of each bed were unbelievable. You took a few seconds to admire it before trotting over to the three men and one girl. You looked at your watch, it was 6:11 am.

“Yeah, just screw it a bit tighter” one guy said squinting at the light fixture from the ground.

A man on the ladder moved his hand, adjusting the light bulb.

“Hey, I got you guys some water” you said, hopeful they heard you

The girl grabbed the four bottles from you without a word handing one to the man beside her and putting the other two on the ground next to the ladder which the two men were currently on. She wore glasses and had long brown hair held back by a hairband.

“Thanks” she said glancing quickly at you and then getting back to work.

You smiled slightly, remembering that you really were on the very last rung of the ladder of crew members.

You walked away from the set and towards the snacks table, thinking of what to do next. You decided that you should go get a hot brick since that was something Huey said you should have on you at all times. After that you could come back inside and find the rest of the PAs.

You headed outside, having to be careful and not bump into anyone in the hallway. The fresh air was welcome after the several people brushing past you inside. You walked over to the canopy covered area to get a “hot brick”. You knelt down placing one knee on the ground to steady yourself. Before looking through the crate, you decided to tie your hair up since you saw that almost everyone on set had their hair somehow kept away from their face. As you were pulling your hair back, you saw a black car pull into the parking lot, a few spaces away from the crew parking. Your heart beat a bit faster as you tied your hair tie around your hair. Could it be…?

Although you knew getting starstruck was the worst thing that could happen to you as a PA, you couldn’t help but stay there as you tightened your hair, not wanting to remove your eyes from the car. It pulled into a parking space and you saw a man step out. As he locked the car and started walking towards the basecamp you realised it was exactly who you thought it was.

Daniel fucking Sharman.

Now your heart was beating fast, threatening to leap out of your chest. He was wearing a grey shirt, jeans and sunglasses and was walking towards one of the trailers, probably his. He was far from you but still, his eye caught yours as he turned his head towards the battery station. Your cheeks heated up and you looked away quickly, mentally slapping yourself. You had practically been ogling your eyes at him..and he had seen you. You knew he knew that you were looking at him. After a few seconds, you pulled yourself together, looked back in his direction and saw that he was entering his trailer his head facing forward again…the the door closed behind him and you let out a deep breath.

You scolded yourself..you couldn’t get this starstruck whenever you saw him or any of the other actors..they were human after all not some sort of gods. You turned towards the crates and grabbed a charged battery, putting it into your jeans’ back pocket. Although you tried to convince yourself that he didn’t have any effect on you, you couldn’t help but be delighted about your luck that you would be working with him out of all the other actors in the world.
