Ciel is confronted by a not-so-friendly coworker during his day shift and learns something he didn't expect. Just when he starts to question himself, the mysterious stranger shows up once again and things take a turn... (Link to Chapter Two: Secrets) 

(Read Chapter 3: Intel)

I am planning to finish it and update. I wrote maybe 2/3 of the next chapter and I just had to stop, given what had been going on in the world and how it relates to my own job and security work in general...  The thing is while Security Guards are a far, FAR cry from police officers-- In general, security guards have to contact law enforcement and cooperate/work with them often AS part of their job, if put into certain situations. It’s not an option not to call, without being fired. I’ve seen my local police force on average 3x a day because of my job. And you know what... There are security guards out there who are crooked and racist as well, and that should be acknowledged.  Right now, work doesn’t feel good and even in the context of writing a fic it doesn’t feel good. I can not afford to just up and quit and find another fulltime job that will give me that pay with benefits, and accommodate the schedule I need; I don’t have the luxury. I’m thankful that the team I work with are very woke, and a very diverse group of people that sincerely just want to keep my place of work safe.  As I mentioned for SiDL I just have to take a step back, I was writing it as a coping mechanism and right now, it’s not working. It will again, just not right now. My sincere apologies. 

Ciel is a young man determined to take up a security job at his local theme park called “DreamLand”, a place that is notoriously haunted by a ghost. Soon, he finds that the job may be more than he bargained for; coworkers and troubled guests aside, ghosts might not be the strangest thing occupying the space within the theme park’s walls. With his goals becoming increasingly difficult to achieve, he might require some help from an unlikely source… Link to Chapter One “New Hire”  

I am so happy that he’s loved! T_T Excuse me while I go off So I’m not sure how relevant these are going to be to the story itself (I have way too many headcanons about Finny in general, I might have to save them for another AU) But:This Finny loves his job for a number of reasons, the main being because he genuinely enjoys being in an amusement park and takes advantage of his employee discount/free passes on his days off. He’s good at the job because he loves being there; the disadvantage is he wishes he was a guest and not working, and is a little distracted by that.Without it being a total spoiler, he likes the security aspect of his job ultimately because he feels he’s preserving what the park is for; trying to keep it a happy and safe place the way it’s supposed to be.The opposite of O!Ciel; who is good at the job because he doesn’t like the park or believe he’s capable of having fun there at all. The contrast between o!Ciel and Finny in canon is extremely important to me and I wanted to put my own contrasting dynamic into the fic– hopefully I’m giving that vibe so far. ///As for what he wears I figure his look is actually pretty close to canon. Loose fitted light shirts, comfortable shorts unless it’s raining or cold.  This-Finny generally likes being outdoors when he can, camping, birdwatching, things like that. He likes BEING in gardens and being in nature; he probably tries to garden with what room he has in his flat…. but isnt the best at it. Thank you for the ask! 💙💙💙
