The Callum Highway Untitled Project (callum/ben, actors au, enemies to friends to lovers, fake dating)

Callum meets Ben at their chemistry read for his first blockbuster movie and everything seems perfect. But it’s not. When their behaviour leads to rumours of bad blood on set, they are ordered to go on outings to present a united front.

Or: Callum and Ben are actors who don’t get along but have to go on dates to prevent bad publicity.

this is for the ever lovely and kind @minimitchell for the @ballumlockdown gift exchange. I hope you like it, i tried to work in some of your fave tropes.

also, my eternal thanks to @icantdowithoutyou for keeping me sane and listening to me ramble on and on 💖

Ballum lockdown gift for @thefancyspin! You asked for smth soft so I went with a scene from a fanfic you posted which I can’t for the life of me find to link or to pull dialogue from, but it’s cute and this was the summary of it!

🌸 ballum lockdown gift 🌸

in the heart of my chest, you hide

Summary: Callum turns his head and looks at him. The moon lights the side of his face so sharply he looks like a figure carved from stone. Ben wants to take a picture of it, or paint it, or something to seal this moment in medium forever.

this is my ballum lockdown gift for @icantdowithoutyou!

kit!! you're such a great creator in this fandom so i really hope you enjoy this fic like i enjoy all of yours 😂💞

✨Ballum Lockdown Gift Exchange✨

i had the absolute pleasure to get @callumsmitchells for the gift exchange so this fic is for you, lucy!💖💖 i tried to include a lot of things i thought you’d enjoy (i made a whole list lmao) and i really hope that you’ll like this.

there’s a playlist i put together that goes along with the fic, which you can find here.

also special thanks to @dingletragedy for helping me with your football knowledge, sophie.💕

Title: been afraid of changing (but time makes you bolder) (ao3 link)

Tags: alternate universe / footballer!callum / strangers to lovers / secret relationship / falling in love / some slight angst / pining / hurt/comfort / mild swearing

Words: 19,704

Summary: Suddenly, his behavior on the night they met makes a whole lot more sense to Ben; the apprehension before telling Ben his name, the way he looked like he wanted to disappear in the bar, how he only kissed Ben when he was sure that they wouldn’t be seen. 

A Premier League footballer in the closet. He just got a lot more intriguing to Ben.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Callum's worried he couldn't be a father to Lexi. Ben thinks he's already there.

surprise!! it's me, @bisexualballum, I'm your gifter!! your prompts were so much fun because fluff isnt usually something I write but I had so so much fun with this (even though there was some serious writer's block). Apologies this is a little late posting, but I sincerely hope you enjoy, because you really do deserve it. I adore your blog and your liveblogs never fail to make me smile. enjoy <3

[stillamess22]

My entry for the gift exchange organized by @ballumlockdown for the lovely @khanthasmin ❤

I found it quite difficult to make something with the struggle to be creative lately combined with the feeling that you deserve nothing but the best but I hope you like it anyway! Since I couldnt really decide whether I preferred the traditional or digital colouring I included both (second under the cut) 🙈

Keep reading

come see about me, ben/callum.

gifted to @oceandawning for the @ballumlockdown ❤

Summary: By the third week of online lectures, onsite classes and keeping the car lot afloat, Ben thinks he has a routine down. He’s juggling study, work, and time with Lexi to the point that he doesn’t feel like anything’s getting neglected. He’s doing well. He’s feeling good.

Then he almost runs face first into Callum Fucking HIghway.
