The Appointed

words:36540 Chapter:21
dystopian dominance celebrities romance dystopia jealousy infidelity
In an alternate world, where succesful people like actors, musicians, politicians (the Privileged) are attainable, Evelyn Knight decides to give up her freedom to become a companion (an Appointed) for Benedict Cumberbatch. In order to do so she is required to give up her life as she knows it and enter a world of glamour and prosperity. However, the cost is high as an Appointed has little freedom and abandoning a Privileged is punishable by death. Her attraction to Benedict and his affection seems perfect, until he shows his darker sides. Desperate for a way out, Evelyn receives help from an unexpected person.

“Do you understand how this works?” Benedict asked. His cupid-bowed lips blew into the steaming mug of tea resting gently in his long elegant fingers. How could I not? This was the way the world has been for the last decade. I would simply become his confidant, friend, muse. I would become his lover

Luffy gasps delightedly, head wiping around to stare up at Whitebeard with wide, excited eyes. “Ace tried to kill you too?!” he shouts. Behind him, the party doesn’t necessarily stop so much as pause, focusing in on the growing spectacle before them. Oblivious, Luffy continues on. “How long?” Whitebeard looks down at the young pirate captain that’s practically vibrating in place. Then he looks to the blond revolutionary that is also staring up at him, gaze considering and keen. Then to his second division commander who now has his face in his hands, ears red where they poke out of his hair. Finally, he glances at the rest of his children, out of loop and confused, yet intrigued, nonetheless.......Or, Ace dies (of embarrassment), Sabo is the dramatic middle child, Luffy is having a blast, and everyone else is just along for the ride.-OR, The family reunion fic that Oda was too much of a coward to give us.

"Let's throw a New Year's Eve party!" Sirius had said. "It’ll be fun! Almost everyone stayed for the Winter Formal this year, we can't pass this opportunity up, please please please, James!" James was a schmuck. Of course he said yes. A handful of days before the big event, he learned the truth - the evening was to serve as a backdrop for Sirius's confession to Remus. The 'plan'? Get drunk and wing it. Unable to sway Sirius from his awful idea, James turned to an unlikely ally for help - his best mate’s brother. Working with Regulus was so easy, he had total confidence they’d keep Sirius from mucking it all up... until things start falling apart when jealousy gets the better of James. (Fortunately for them, they're not the only ones ringing in the New Year with a scheme.)

When Eddie gets a phone call from his son's science teacher about reasonable accommodations it sets off a series of events that turn his life completely upside down. "I should probably get going," Buck says. "It's a school night after all." Eddie appreciates this devotion to duty, but at the same time he's a little disappointed. He's repaid Buck's favor so now there's no need for them to see each other except on parent teacher night. But he doesn't want that. It's been a handful of hours and the thought of Buck never coming by again already seems impossible. "Look," he says, letting the words come out of his mouth before he can overthink them back in again. "I don't know about you, but making friends when you're a single dad with an insane job is hard. I have your number. Is it okay if I use it for non-school purposes?" Buck's insta-smile is so bright it's practically blinding. "I would love that."
