As Eleanor believes she is falling into darkness with no one to care for her whilst she gets verbally and physically abused, she gets a surprise of a lifetime which in a moment her life changes and a new father figure comes into her life. A Benedict Cumberbatch fanfiction, between a lost young girl and kind hearted man, through him she finds herself becoming stronger and happier whilst finding out who she wants to be.

Benedict and Cara are having a short holiday at his home on a beautiful Greek island when out of the blue she asks him to fulfil a literary fantasy shared by women the world over. This one-shot is a slightly adapted excerpt from my Benedict fanfiction, 'Photograph' for the @fanfictioncontests with the theme 'Hit the Beach'.

Note: This story is a sequel so it would help a lot if you read 'Photograph' first. Follow Ben and Cara as they navigate their kooky way through married life and the pressures brought to it by family, careers, the paparazzi and people from their past.

Loving can hurt sometimes but it is often the only thing that makes us feel alive. For Ben and Cara the challenge is to see if they can make it together without tearing each other apart.

Ruby Jackson had just moved schools and wanted to move on with her life, instead her life gets turned upside down from the minute she steps foot in to her new school.

"There's never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment." What happens when a conservative, "parents-fearing", ambitious, Indian woman Samantha Palaniswamy turns into British heart throb Benedict Cumberbatch's confidant? She isn't looking for love, but that doesn't mean love didn't find her. Only that, it found her in the most unfortunate time. To know what I mean, read on.

After a lot of misunderstandings, Benedict and Samantha are a couple now. While Ben is trying to shy away from his insecurities, Sam is trying to live her own life without worrying about her parents rules and promises. In each other's company, they grow into the person they want to be; instead of what they are. Their friends would say they are the 21st century's Romeo and Juliet but Ben and Sam are like any other normal couple. They lie, deceive each other and break promises. They talk like best friends, love like lovers, argue like husband and wife, protect each other like siblings does. Theirs is just not an ordinary boyfriend/girlfriend thing, it's a bit more. Even the word LOVE wouldn't cover up them. Will time take a toll on their relationship? What about Avinaash and Zhang still lurking around Sam? There was a huge drama before Ben and Sam became a couple, but will they surpass the status "in a relationship" to "married"? To find the answers, read further.

'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?
