Fics like This Ain't a Romcom! (except when it totally is)

Ryland debated with himself for all of seven seconds on the ethics of fake dating a celebrity in exchange for a stupid amount of money. On the one hand, was he willing to sacrifice his integrity to help a celebrity unmuck his name from his own lack of foresight? On the other hand, that was a lot of ribeye and sour skittles he could buy… Ryland planted his hands on his hips and stared the lady down. “Just one more question,” he said, pushing his slipping glasses up his face. “Who the heck is Tom Ryder?” He did not expect the wide array of reactions to his question. Colt threw his head back with a cackle. Jody fought a laugh behind bitten lips. The lady in front of him pinched the inner corner of her eyes and muttered something about murder being easier to cover up than whatever this malarky was. The man standing petulantly behind her stared at him in a weird mixture of shock, outrage, and disbelief. “… What?” OR: Ryland Grace is willing to do the most insane summer scheme for some ribeye and sour skittles.
