AN: Before you start reading, keep in mind that this story has not been edited, so there may be many more grammatical or factual mistakes than you’d find in my other works. ________________________ “So it finally happened, huh?” I said as I opened my eyes again. The first thing to note was that the ever-present ache in my chest was finally gone. Another thing was that it didn’t hurt at all to stand on my own two feet like it did for the majority of my life. Then I finally took in my…- 19.3 K • Ongoing
- “Listen,” Taylor turned to me with utmost sincerity. “Have you ever worked with or served any celebrity before?” I shook my head, not wanting to tell him about Amanda Bynes. The less your employer knows about your other jobs, the better it is. “Then get ready,” he warned me. “We have multiple reservations this afternoon for the VIP section, and we’re a little short on the staff, so you’ll have to take over the duty. I guess you are experienced enough now to handle the big clients.…

April 2011, Casa Encantada, Los Angeles, CA, USA “Hahaha!” The little tyke sitting on my back laughed as if this was the most fun he’d had in his short life, which was probably true. “Yes, Ace.” I grinned at the thought of my son having so much fun with me and continued running on all fours in the backyard. “You and Dada will defeat Ian and Uncle Evan.” “Stop trying to make your kids so competitive,” Evan shot back while running beside me in the same position. “If I left…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- After that first win, the show fell into a rhythm of sorts. One by one, more TV and movie categories were awarded in quick succession, sprinkled with Ricky Gervais’ brand of humor in between. Most nominees were there just to drink and have a good time. Most people didn’t really seem to care about winning or losing. Then came the first category I was nominated for. Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans walked up on stage together, holding two envelopes in their hands. “Hey, Chris,” Ryan greeted the…

- After mulling over the revised script for two straight days, I finally accepted that it was inevitable for me to take on mature roles with scenes that may be questionable at best, and entirely unnecessary at worst. It was bound to happen, given both the era I was working in and the kinds of films I was drawn to. I never had much interest in movies aimed at younger audiences anyway. Aside from a few major blockbusters, there were only a handful of exceptions, and even those were rare. With that reluctant…

- Emily still found it hard to believe how dramatically her life had changed since meeting Troy. What had begun as a casual friendship with a global superstar had snowballed into something far greater, so much so that even she sometimes struggled to recognize her own life. In just the past year, she and Rob had filmed two back-to-back movies, each earning five million dollars. It was a staggering figure for actors their age, almost surreal. Yet, the films hadn’t even premiered, and there was no…

- “Do you think he’ll get it right this time?” Al Pacino just shrugged, for he had no answer to that question. “This is the toughest scene for his character, so it’ll take time before he fully gets there. We just need some patience, and I’m sure he’ll nail it in a few more takes.” Robert Zemeckis nodded in agreement and walked back behind the camera. As much as Al preferred working with a director like Bob, who was open-minded enough to accept suggestions, it was sometimes tiring to…

- The ceremony began as usual, with a video recap of all the major movies released that year. I leaned closer to Scarlett and whispered, “Keep in mind the Academy unofficially asked me to host this year. Apparently, they wanted some young talent to boost the younger audience members.” “You shouldn’t have declined,” she whispered back. “It would’ve been so cool to see you up on stage.” “Any other year, I might’ve considered it, but not this one. Not when Harry Potter is so favored…

- Reddit practically exploded that morning. u/plainfullyobvious:OMG! You won’t believe this! Troy Armitage was spotted rushing into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center yesterday evening. It’s almost certain that Scarlett went into labor a little early. What do you guys think? Will it be a boy, or a girl who succeeds Harry Potter and the Joker? Within minutes, the thread began filling up with reactions. u/HufflepuffLeftBehind:Imagine being born and your dad is Troy Armitage. No pressure, kid. Just…

- “Action!” The moment the word was said, the entire set came alive. Music filled the air, echoing through the vast soundstage like a heartbeat as everyone moved in unison. It felt less like a film shoot and more like watching a living, breathing symphony. Scarlett and Natalie Portman were at the center, their movements blending seamlessly with those of the professional ballet dancers surrounding them. There was no clear distinction between the stars and the background performers, yet my eyes never…
