Here’s a play on gender stereotypes: Tom is a newly elected labor minister, and Sybil is on his staff as one of his security guards ;oP

I kind of played with it a bit because who doesn’t love a ‘First Daughter’ style secret bodyguard AU?

Following a landslide Labor victory after over a decade of Tory government, up-and-coming MP Tom Branson is selected by the new Prime Minister to join the cabinet as Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. 

It’s a tougher job than he ever could have imagined, though not without it’s perks. His personal secretary, Sybil, is a pretty girl with a sharp mind and a wicked sense of humour. She’s the one responsible for making sure he’s exactly where he’s supposed to be and when, for managing his diary and, of course, ensuring that there’s a constant supply of tea and biscuits coming his way. He thinks about asking her out for a drink, regardless of how inappropriate that might be, though he never actually gets the chance…

Tensions are beginning to mount again between the republicans and the unionists, and the particular affiliations of some of Tom’s more radical family members put not only his job at risk, but potentially his life also.

So maybe it’s a good thing indeed that there might just be more to the girl who brings him tea.
