The Random Musings of an Emotionally Unstable Fangirl Who Really Likes The Syndicate and Couldn't Keep the Plot Bunnies Under Control

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, The Syndicate is a five-part miniseries on BBC about five super-market workers in Leeds who jointly win the lottery. It's a lot more interesting than it sounds (trust me). Neville Longbottom and Peter Pettigrew are in it, and they couldn't be more different than their Harry Potter counterparts (but that's a good thing).

Anyway, being the Matthew Lewis fangirl I am (and because I'm never satisfied with anything), I had the idea of giving Jamie (Matthew Lewis's character) a girlfriend/possible love interest. But then I found out he got himself a "girlfriend" (if by that, you mean "Katy Perry hooker"). I don't know if it's serious yet, but there's two episodes left, so we'll just have to see.

I don't feel like going into too much detail. There are probably spoilers on Tumblr and other websites, so feel free to brush up on that. If you're in the UK, they have the episodes up on the BBC iPlayer. If you're not from the UK, watchseries puts up links the day after each episode premieres. The first three are online, and the last two will be up at least by the 18th and 25th of April, respectively.

So right now this story is gonna be a collection of one-shots. They're all from my Tumblr, so I own the rights (so to speak), and I'm not pissing people off. I don't own the show or the characters or anything, but I do own my own characters.

This might evolve into an actual story, depending on how the series plays out. Like I said, it's only three-fifths of the way through, and after the first three episodes, I wouldn't be surprised if Godzilla came in and started making out with Jamie's Ferrari. But for right now, this is just the little stories that pop into my head when they feel like it.

I should probably let you guys in on my OC. Since this is a work-in-progress, she's not completely fleshed out yet, but here are the basics.

Her name is Catherine, or Cathy. She's 19 years old and she lives somewhere in London. Her uncle Bob is the manager of Right Buy U, and she's taking a year off from college (university?) to get away from her parents and figure out what she wants to do with her life. She winds up with a part-time job at Right Buy U, and stays with Bob and his girlfriend of 11 years, Annie.

As far as her and Jamie are concerned, I'm leaning toward going with them having met before. She's probably visited her uncle numerous times, and since Stuart, Jamie's older brother, has been working at Right Buy U since he was 15, the two of them were bound to run into each other at some point. He likes to make her flustered, and she is easily annoyed with his couldn't-care-less attitude.

Um...that's it for now, I guess. Like I said, it's pretty rough right now, but I just wanted to write it down and see what people think. If it sucks, then I'll go ahead and write it for my own enjoyment.

Um...yeah. That's it, I guess.

Happy reading!
