Authors Note:

Andy and Juliet aren't married in this fic, never got together even, I feel like I have to say that even though its a fic and Andy does really need to be unattached for a fic to work.

Okay we all know the masterpieces that are the 'Bleeders' music video and 'My Friends' but can we just forget they exist for a minute? Its because I wanted Andy and Lacy to meet like this. It's all for the plot. Great? Thanks.



Lacy Knight was an actor, voice actor and vocalist. Her favourite types of work were music video acting and voicing the intros to songs. To this end, she found herself picking up a job in LA, as an actor in Black Veil Brides' latest music video. Her agent had given her the top-secret song file last week and she had been playing it non-stop, trying to imagine what the music video would look like. She had also been given an action script, of things she would need to do during the music video, but as it didn't tell her the overall artistic direction, she was no less in the dark about it. She also hadn't consumed much Black Veil Brides before that, so she had spent most of her free time watching their previous music videos and interviews with the band.

She had to admit, meeting the Black Veil Brides was a daunting prospect, especially being so far from home and without anyone she knew also on the team. But they had wanted someone with red hair and was English, for the aesthetics and the soundscape she guessed.

So, come Monday at 9am, Lacy was standing outside a large warehouse studio in which it would be shot. There were trailers parked all over the car park, some said makeup and others, Lacy recognised with a jolt, the Black Veil Brides themselves stepping out of one trailer. They moved towards another entrance, all tall, already in their makeup and imposing. Lacy saw who she believed to be Andy Biersack/ Andy Black and immediately recognised his costume as; Sweeney Todd. Suddenly all the lyrics of bleeders fell into place. Lacy relaxed, she knew Sweeney Todd well, this was her territory. And vaguely she wondered if Andy would be having a Mrs Lovett in his music video.

She entered through her side of the studio and was greeted by an admin assistant. The woman who introduced herself as Bethany lead her through the maze of small cubicle-like rooms and to the large studio where the main set was. Lacy had to admit it was well done, she felt like she were walking into Sweeney Todd's real attic barber shop. There were lots of people about, technicians perfecting areas and sound people and cameramen. Bethany lead Lacy over to a man with his cap on back to front, despite the fact he was well into his fifties. "David, this is Lacy," Bethany introduced them. "Lacy Knight is our supporting actor." David gave Lacy a warm handshake, smiling at her.

"You found the place, excellent. Right well we have an hour and a half before we need you. I want to get some shots of the Brides first, then we'll do the scenes between you and Andy." He explained to her. "So, Bethany will take you to make up and then we can get everyone introduced." He clapped his hands together and turned away. Lacy let herself be lead down the many hallways and out to the trailers again for makeup. Bethany knocked on the door and Lacy told her she'd be fine from here, to which Bethany smiled and disappeared back into the studio.

The trailer door opened and Lacy was face to face with Sweeney Todd, for a moment it was a scary sight. "Yeah, I'm coming, I just needed—" Andy broke off, descending the steps, looking at her with interest. "Sorry, I thought it was Jake coming to get me for filming. You're not are you?"

"No I'm not Jake," Lacy said with a smile.

"No, I meant—"

"I know what you meant, no I'm here to get my makeup done. I'm Lac—" she began to introduce herself but he cut her off.
