posted a link to it a few days ago but i didn't know we weren't allowed to advertise stuff on here so my bad hahaha but i still lowkey want people to read it so i'm gonna post a few of my fav scenes on here and then hopefully i can get people to read the whole thing?? does this still count as advertisement???? i guess we'll find out...??
anyway if ur not familiar w actor au's basically it's where the piece of media is a tv show/movie and the character's are all acting as their characters (if that makes sense??) and they usually have a bunch of behind the scene stuff and interviews
okay first scene!! from the first chapter where they read the scripts for the neverseen ending for the first time
--
"Oh my gosh."
Keefe and Sophie are on the sofa in Keefe’s dressing room with new scripts on their lap. The title reads "Neverseen, Episode 78.” Keefe’s head is in his hands. His face is pale. He is dead silent, and… shaking?
“Keefe, I’m sure it won’t be that bad, he’ll come back to the Black Swan soon enough, right? He wouldn’t actually leave, he hates his mom too much to join her.”
At this, Keefe starts cackling with laughter, head still in his hands. “Nonono it’s not that-” he chokes, “I owe Biana so much money after this.”
Sophie’s face drops into disappointment. She is far too used to Keefe and Biana’s ridiculous bets.
Speak of the devil, and (s)he doth appear: Biana comes hurtling down the corridor at full speed, almost knocking down Keefe’s door in the process. “Woahhh, slow do-” starts Sophie, only to be cut off by Biana’s shushing gesture.
She’s bent over with her hands on her knees, catching her breath. The room is silent.
She straightens up, points a menacing finger at Keefe, then, “Two hundred dollars. Now.”
Sophie pales. “Two hundred??”
“Biana, please,” Keefe begs, “I’m a poor man, take pit-”
“Oh come off it, we all know you get paid more than me, pay up.”
“Uhhhh… I was joking about the bet!”
“Sure, Keefe. So when you said, ‘I’m telling you, he’s never gonna join the Neverseen, he’s not stupid enough to do that’” you were-”
“Deadpan!”
“Dead. Serious.”
“And then after that? When you went, ‘He wouldn’t betray Sophie for a million dollars?’”
Keefe is silent.
“Then when I said, ‘Oh, you wanna bet on it?” and you went, ‘Sure, I’ve got nothing to lose’ and I said, ‘Okay, one hundred dollars,’ and you raised the amount to two hundred?”
“Who’s the one with the photographic memory now?” Keefe mutters under his breath.
“Pay. up.”
“No!” Keefe drops to the floor at Biana’s feet. “Pleasepleasepleaseplease-”
Dex strolls in. “Hey, have you guys seen the script for the new epis-”
He does a double take at the scene in front of him; Keefe nothing short of inconsolable at Biana’s feet, Biana glaring at him, Sophie looking thoroughly amused and desperately trying not to laugh.
“... what the is going on?”
“He OWES me two hundred dollars!”
“She’s crazy!”
“Oh my gosh, guys.”
“What?? All I’m asking for is my rightfully earned money, you-”
“Okayyyy,” says Dex, slowly backing out of the room. “Forget I said anything. He hits the doorframe on his way out. Keefe snorts. Dex’s “Shut up, Keefe, I know that was you!” echoes down the hallway.

yayyy okay next one!! from chapter two this time, which is in an interview
--
“Okay, maybe a little bit of an incriminating one next: did you take anything from the set?”
The cast is smiling already, shooting each other furtive glances as they attempt to conceal laughter.
“Uhhhh…” Keefe starts awkwardly. “For legal reasons, and if any of the crew is watching this, no, everything is exactly where it’s supposed to be.”
“The real question is what did they not take.” Linh grins. “Cause me and Tam were new this season, we had no clue we could just take stuff until we were done filming, so we both have nothing I think?”
Tam coughs. “Yeah, about that…”
“What? What do you have?”
“My Exillium badge, the Exillium uniform, a few capes, one of Fitz’s crush cuffs from last season?”
“Oh, I knew I was missing one of those.”
“So I’m the only one that doesn’t have anything?”
Sophie pats her shoulder consolingly. “If it helps, you can have one of my daggers. I think I have about six by now?”
“Woah, you have a stealing problem. So what did everyone else take?”
Sophie launches into a long list of stolen set items. “I think I have thirty… two? costumes by now, I’m pretty sure I was only supposed to take one at first but I just kinda shoved them all into a duffel bag when I left and no one ever mentioned it, obviously the six knives, four registry pendants, I remember I got told off for those cause they had to make a new one every season when I kept taking them, all my Exillium badges, those make great mementos-”
“Sounds like everything makes a great memento for you,” Dex mutters under his breath, while Keefe bursts out laughing beside him.
“Let me finish?” Sophie glares at him. “A bunch of stuff from my room, that diary I had from season 1, and I think that’s it?”
“Oh, is that it now?” says Tam, all fake concern.
“Oh wait I’ve taken two Ella’s too, we should be on Ella number three next season.”
“You must be the props department’s worst enemy.”

^ probably my fav scene so far, was SO much fun to write (also took inspo from the pjo press conference interview!!!)
next one is unreleased rn (u guys are getting a preview rn hahaha), and is set during the filming of neverseen/s4 when Keefe is running around with a camera "vlogging"
--
Keefe then (for some reason unbeknownst to anyone) begins skipping down the hallway at incomprehensible speeds whilst holding the camera up to show the doors. He skips past doors labelled “Tam Song,” and “Linh Song.” “They’re not here today cause we’re filming some of the first scenes this week,” he explains, “Might show up at some point later to hang out though, they did yesterday. And they brought coffee!”
The idea that Keefe Sencen should probably never have caffeine is not lost on anyone.
He pauses in front of a door labelled “Fitz Vacker” to knock, shaking the camera in the process. “Fitz?” he calls out. No reply. “Okay, let’s try find someone. An adventure!”
He continues skipping past doors, singing “We’re going on a bear hunt, we’re gonna catch a big one! I’m not scared!” under his breath as he makes his way through a maze of corridors and sets. He gets three verses in. The viewers are maybe going crazy. He gasps as he passes an open door labelled “Hair and Makeup.” “Sophie! I’m vlogging!”
Keefe holds up the camera to show Sophie, who grins and waves happily, makeup half done, rollers still in her hair. The makeup artist sighs fondly, and says, “Heard you were running around with that thing again.”
Keefe gasps in fake horror. “Who told you that??”
Sophie snorts. “Mr Forkle came round earlier to get his makeup touched up, and said you were terrorising him again, and we all know what that means. Plus, we can all hear you skipping around singing like an idiot.”
“Oh.”
Sophie, who apparently takes this as her cue to launch into a rendition of We’re going on a bear hunt, gets up out of the chair and starts skipping around the room in a (surprisingly accurate) imitation of Keefe. He is not impressed.
The makeup artist (thankfully) smiles at her and gently drags her back into the chair after one verse. “Sit back down, I still need to do your blush. Oh, and Keefe, you might want to stay here too, someone will come by to do your hair and makeup soon.”
