Originally intended as an ongoing series of prompt-driven flash fiction, starring the delectable Benedict Cumberbatch, and you, the reader, this has evolved into something with a bit of a plot... London is not the city you call home but after the events of the last six months, you know you're no longer welcome in the town you grew up in. What would it take for you to settle down here? A chance meeting with a certain actor may raise that very question... Clichéd fluff and dorky characterisations guaranteed, plus a smattering of smut and angst aplenty (consider this a trigger warning for abuse and mature themes).

Olive, Just A normal student at University of Manchester in England. When Benedict Cumberbatch comes to speak it becomes more than a meet and greet. Olives world gets turned upside down.

'Officially Cumberbatched?' follows Rosie and Ben three years on from 'Well and truly Cumberbatched' Some things have changed; they're a little older, a lot more in love and Merlin's stronger than ever, and cuter which is easy to believe. Ben's career has skyrocketed over the years, as has his fame and likeness from fans, maybe a little too much. Rosie's getting more and more recognition for her contributions in the world of computer science, possibly changing the direction her long term plans go in. Will those plans honestly include Benedict? As much as he supports her dreams, can he truly handle her growing abilities? Will the intellect that brought them together push them apart? Could their careers finally push them further apart after begrudgingly "going the distance" when they have to, now they're busier than ever? Some things however never change. Incessant teasing from their parents, Rosie's brothers and their friends when they're affectionate to each other, Merlin's playfullness and their ability to consume wine on a regular, if not too regular basis. Everything's going well, but maybe too well. A few harsh words disguised as petty jealousy are said that has the potential to destroy everything they have, pushing their relationship on the brink of desolation. "They're just words." Or are they?

Rosalind. Rosie to most. Including Benedict. She loves her family (most of the time), her job (at the best of times), her dog (all the time), and her friends. *** There is one friend though, there always is that "one friend" isn't there? Christ, how embarrassingly cliché. Should we just call it a day and end it here? No? Well okay then. The thing is cliché is cliché for a reason...because it works...well most of the time it does. Look if this all goes to hell let's just say "at least they tried" and remember them like Jack and Rose...or something like that, a bittersweet tragedy. I'm being melodramatic, don't you just love it? *** Sentiment makes malleable fools of us all eventually, including these two... Benedict. Ben to most. Including Rosalind. He's peculiar, sarcastic, witty, and many many things, if not kind of perfect. Well to someone he is. Five months apart can change things. Who's going to make the first move?
