Memories of Us Chapter 4

Chapter list (1) (2) (3)

I have no clue what to even say, all the support, reblogs, and comments from everyone who has been reading this beautiful thing I've had in my daydreams has been pretty amazing. I can't thank you all enough 💕

Summary: Octavia has a little mess to clean up.

As always, thanks goes to my beta and best friend @micropoe10 . She's the driving force behind this idea because she kept telling me how good it was. So thanks, I owe you many lol.

Inspired by @cheesy-cryptid 's piece of fan art that buried itself in my brain and kept telling me what to write.

Chapter 4

"sleep til the sun burns out"

The next morning, Gale walks up to his shared office. Octavia should have already begun on the last of their tasks. At least a month of work finally coming to an end. They decided early on to share the office he had, after all one person doesn't need that much space to themselves. As he fumbles with the door, Astarion stops him. "Ah! My favorite assistant! Good morning Gale. I trust that you and our dear Octavia are prepared for the opening?"

Gale enthusiastically nods. The coffees he's got stacked on top of his pile of books are slightly shaking. He catches himself against the door and steadies the drinks, "Oh most definitely. Octavia has been staying after hours a few nights, at her insistence mind you, and she's incredible! She did at least three days of work in only half the time! I don't know what I would do without her at this point."

A small blush lands on his cheeks and he clears his throat. "Thank you for trusting me to bring her on board, she's a wonderful addition." Gale smiles awkwardly as Astarion gets in front of him and takes the cups. "Let me hold this for you before you wear this instead of your dashing sweater." Gale's shoulders fall a bit and he rolls his eyes.

They walk into the office to see a gigantic mess. Books, paperwork, pens, all matter of snack foods and energy potions surround Octavia and Gale's combined desks. "Octavia? Are you...?" Gale places his books on the desk softly, meanwhile Astarion places the cups down, picks up a book, and slams it on the table in front of her.

"I'M AWAKE! I'M HERE!!" Octavia springs up, a small note stuck to her cheek. She looks around bleary-eyed and rubs her face, as the room comes into focus, two faces come into view. Gale, and...OH SHIT. "MR. ANCUNIN! GOOD MORNING!!!"

She looks around and sees the mess left behind, quickly fixing her hair and ripping the note off her face. "I'm sorry, I didn't know" Gale mouths to her, he hands her the coffee and begins to gather the room. She puts her face in her arms and hides into the desktop. Thoroughly embarrassed, she lifts her head and looks at Astarion. "Good morning...sorry...I just really wanted to be done, and good news. It's done." She takes a lazy swig of her drink.

Astarion yawns and sips a bit from Gale's cup, coughing dramatically."Gods! How many sugars do you add to this?! This tastes absolutely vile!" He makes a disgusted face and places the cup back on the desk.

"Please tell me you aren't one of those people who asks for the drink with the longest name just to feel important?" He huffs, rolling his head to the side. "I'm not sure how to react to that." Octavia states, she looks down at the pile of papers Gale has already gathered.

She gets up to help, but Astarion stops her. "There's actually a reason I came by to see you both. Something that will pique both of your interests." Gale shoots him a suspicious glare, "What have you done now?" Astarion smiles and places down a well worn book, its black and red cover fraying like it's about to disintegrate if you sneeze in its direction.

"While I was away in the Underdark, I met with a lovely mind flayer and hobgoblin who had all kinds of interesting rare artifacts. One of which was this very book. They told me that this was procured during the siege on the Szarr estate, I'm hoping that it has more insight into our mysterious subject."

He slides the book over in between Octavia and Gale. "I'd love for the pair of you to tackle this long game Gale has played by himself. Octavia, your dedication to our last project surely landed you the task of caring for this book. Not a soul is to even breathe on it. That means you too, Gale."

He tilts his gaze over to Gale who scoffs a little at the notion that he can't read this book. "No offense, dearest Gale, I just don't want it leaving this office and we all know how you like to take work home." He pats Gale on the shoulder as he turns to leave the shared space.

"Also, one last thing. No more overnights, Octavia. You need your beauty rest, my darling. I've told you once before.." he leans in close to Octavia's left side and softly speaks near her ear "Can't have that beautiful mind of yours working too much, you'll turn into Gale, and I feel like you're far too much fun for that, hmm?"

She turns to him, their faces a few inches from each other. He's slightly taller than her, but in this closeness, he feels ten feet tall. His eyes hidden again behind pitch black lenses pierce through her, and the previous chill builds in her core, a shudder escapes her lips as the flush creeps onto her face. "Of course, sir, no more overnights."

She keeps her gaze on the glasses, her own eyes watching in return. She sees the vulpine expression start on his lips "Octavia, what have I told you about calling me 'sir'? We're in private chambers, not the atrium. Live a little, dearest." His voice dripped with suggestive candor.

Octavia on the other hand, was melting into the floor underneath her in return. She's never been around someone so well spoken, and it's pretty intimidating. "Of course....Astarion. I will go home tonight and sleep in my bed, not on my desk." She smiles timidly, back up at her as she looks towards him. "Wonderful, glad to hear it."

Astarion turns quickly on his heels, he must have somewhere to be. Octavia turns to Gale, an incredulous look on his face. "So he wants you to rest but he gives you another gargantuan responsibility to fulfill? I don't get that man sometimes." He shakes his head and keeps filing away paperwork.

—--------------------------------------------------

Later on, Octavia finalizes the displays and wanders back to her office. The last of the visitors are filing out, their dull rumblings and soft murmurs keep her company for a moment. As she turns the corner, mind elsewhere, she doesn't notice the person in front of her until it's too late.

The shock is like walking into a wall, her little pad falls to the floor and her forehead starts to feel warm. "You know, we really have to stop running into each other like this" there's a tiny sarcastic laugh behind the statement.

Astarion was standing in front of her and Gale's office holding two black envelopes adorned with silver writing. One for Gale and the other for her. "I meant to give this to you earlier. Before we got caught up in…all that…" he grimaces towards the office.

"Anyway, we're having a little party here for the board members, staff, beneficiaries, pretty much anyone who wants to have their name on a wing or a bench. I came to give you and Gale your invitations but you were both gone. Figured you actually listened to me for once." He shrugs loosely, picks up Octavia's notepad, and hands it back to her along with the envelope.

The black matte paper was smooth in her hands, her name embossed in silver leaf. She flips over the envelope and sees a silver wax seal with a Sharran symbol stamped in the middle. "Spared no expense, huh?" She remarks as she opens it.

"No, of course not. How do you think we pay for all the exhibits? We have to wine and dine these benevolent people to give us more gold to cover what I spent trying to convince other people to let me have their pretty little treasures they kept in dilapidated, crumbling, piles of rubble and bone for two hundred years." Astarion rambles sardonically, waving his hands as he rounds off. "That's all in a day's work for me. Having to put on airs to impress people who wouldn't even give me a second glance had I not worked my way up to where I am now. I've been one with the shadows for as long I can remember."

His voice lowers, a forlorn twinge to his words. "Having to sort through rushed, sloppy graves. You almost feel sorry for the corpses, I think I do. Hmm. Nevermind any of that. There's a dress code by the way. Black preferably. Spend some of that graduation money you mentioned and get yourself something nice."

He brushes some hair off Octavia's shoulder, his hand lingers there for a bit. She stares at his hand there and looks back at him, wide eyed. "You deserve it after all." He takes his hand off, placing both his arms behind his back. "Well I'm off. Looks like I'll have to look for Gale at his place. I'll see you there, dearest."

AU idea: the real Adam is alive and was being raised by his not-dad, the Intruder.

I have been fixated on the last scene of TMC Vol.4 where the Intruder almost explains everything before Sarah cuts him off. It made me think he valued the real Adam as a son, while disregarding the fake Adam as just another alternate.

So here's to emotional drama lol.

💬 for angsty starter

@puppetoffthehook The world churned in violent waves around him. Black water, angry and violent. With an undertow ready to drag him in. Suffocate him. Drown him in the cold dark. This was how he suffered in silence. Every night. Waiting for the sharks that circled to drag him down. The problem was, right now he wasn't asleep. This wasn't a dream. This was the waking world and Billy, fucking, Hargrove was stood in front of him, arms crossed over his chest, brow furrowed. He couldn't remember what they'd been talking about. In fact he didn't remember anything about this. Why they were even here. What they were discussing. It was like someone had reset the board and he was starting from scratch. Steve had a very distinct feeling he was missing something. A finger scratched Idly at his scarred neck.

His eyes flickered around them, a slow thing that left him only that much more confused. The space around him was unfamiliar. This wasn't home. Steve fought against the sensation of panic that wanted to rise up in his chest. How had he gotten here? Where the hell was here? Beyond the window he could make out sand and endless blue. Oh he was very far away from home. A hand on his knee drew his attention towards Billy again. Steve shied away. Was that an angry look? God the last thing he wanted was another plate to the back of the head! He reached for that scar as it tingled with the memory. A cool band of metal caught briefly around his left ring finger but he paid it no mind. His heart hammered in his chest and his breath hitched a little. " What the fuck do you want?" Why couldn't he remember what the hell he was doing here with Hargrove?

Batman Headcanon (AU)

If Bruce's parent's weren't killed....

after bruce saw the movie that night, he knew hat he wanted to do for the rest of his life and that was to be in movies himself as an actor and his love for Grey ghost

Thomas Wayne sr eventually released the operated of Wayne enterprises to Lucius Fox so he can resume his passion as a doctor (another headcanon I have )

Bruce met Veronica Vreeland in college and there they created the inside joke " bunny"

Veronica fell for Bruce in school but never told him

he would sign ll the tie around his house or to himself but when Veronica heard him sing, she was astounded how good he sounded and convinced hi to pursue musicals as well as movies. Bruce was hesitant because ehe knew his strengths mainly were with film and he enjoyed theatre it wasn't his passion but Veronica badgered or in his words " harassed" him into doing it.

Bruce broke out into popularity with a musical he did at 22 years old and had a lead role and his voice as well has performance put his name in everyone mouths and soon he was in the films.

Veronica got casted as a supporting role and broke out in her fame then as well.

Crash Bandicoot It's About Time

Prompt: Pulled into a whole different world 

Before the events of N.Tropy and Neo Cortex escaping their prison in the past– meanwhile in the present, Crash bandicoot is living a carefree life with his sister Coco and Aku-aku in N. Sanity island where spent most of his time wandering around the thick vegetation. He was out one afternoon all of a sudden he was pulled into a rift, never to be seen again. From there he would regain consciousness and was taken aback to find himself in a whole new dimension. 

The landscape was filled to the brim with advanced technology: flying cars, cyborgs roaming the streets, alien species coexisting with humans, et cetera. However, it was the daunting reality that began to set in. Crash had no equipment that could give him access to travel back to his own world and he had to embark on a journey of finding someone that was willing to help him or he would remain trapped in this dimension for good.

Wouldn’t it be fun to see Crash work his way through the futuristic utopia filled with danger and deceit? Sure he isn’t much for brains and speech but what if he had to force himself to utilize them in order to return home. This is a fun little twist on the whole premise of interdimensional travel.

Alright time for my new headcanon

So to quickly clarify, Sugar Swan and Timekeeper are Whipped Cream's adopted Mums, not his bio ones.

Basically how it went was basically Sugar Swan found a baby Whipped Cream crying on a leaf floating down a river. Since there were no other Cookies around, she decided to adopt Whipped Cream.

Whipped Cream doesn't mention that the literal Sugar Swan and the ruler of time are his parents. Not because he's ashamed or embarassed by them, but mainly due to the fact people will DEFINITELY freak out.

While no-one knows what happens to his bio Mum, Whipped Cream's bio Dad is (unfortunately) still around. However, I have yet to design him so no lore of him for now.

roommate!ghost who's waiting for you when you get home in the middle of the night after going out with your friends. Sitting on the couch in those fucking grey sweatpants when you stumble through the door and drop your keys. Has to stare at the crack on the ceiling when you get down on your hands and knees to find them, pretend for his own sanity that he hasn't seen the tiny excuse for underwear you've got on under that little black dress.

Like clockwork, he's got you sitting on the icy bathroom counter as you giggle, telling him all about your night. He's got cotton pads and makeup remover in one hand and the other holding onto your thigh because you started unconsciously squeezing his broad frame when he stepped in between your open legs. He gently wipes away all the traces of the night, carefully mapping out the contours of your face like your a masterpiece he's carved from some precious stone. Until he gets to your lips. The shiny, fucking sparkly gloss is all thats left on your skin but his hand freezes as he studies the crease in your bottom lip. You catch up two seconds later in your dreamy, relaxed haze, and without even thinking about it you close the gap, softly pressing your lips to the one's silently hovering over yours.

His breath catches and his grip on your thigh becomes molten hot as you just as quickly pull away. Innocently you smile at him, like you hadn't just killed him, like you hadn't just made him start planning your wedding down to the way your eyes would shine as you walked down the aisle, all for him.

Your laugh is the only thing that can pull him out of his stupor, "you have no idea how long i've wanted to do that." 

But he does, he really, really does.

Dr. Olivia Octavius Headcanon (AU)

Born and raised in California, Los Angeles August 8th, 1957

adopted by a second generation Mexican American Family as a baby (stretch you imagination for a bit, I know im fooling with actual legal history here but bear with me lol)

her mother had trouble having chicken for a few years and prayed every dat for them but she felt like she should adopt and ws drawn Olivia.

her mother Elena was a Sundays school teacher and a homemaker and her father worked in construction

she was a happy active and outgoing girl. she could never have her hair done for long it aways came out messed up from her being outide and playing and digging up dirt.

she was tested for being gifted and passed and got transferred to a gifted school for kids her

she learned how to surf and loved being outside and nature and always caught butterflies in the summer.

she was teased for her hair, height, glasses and her parents heritage and got into fights and even a few fist fights but she never let it get to her and built her confidence from it.

the boys however thought she was cute when she got older and flirted with her and that was another reason to hate her.

she skipped grades and finished under Gard school quickly.

she eventually applied to MIT at 19 years old and didn't get in her first year but applied the following year and got it.

she after her first year she didn't think would come back to New York because there was hardly any attire and was surrounded by building and after her first winter ever, she was sure shed be gone by summer time but Norman convinced her to stay.

There she met norman osborn after overhearing a conversation him and dr stromm were having and the next day struck up a close friendship with her and Dr stromm and lasted ever since.

She taught Norman to salsa and she would always make him laugh

she and dr stromm encouraged him in his support of oscorp

Norman ended up convincing Olivia to speed through school and get their doctorate degree. Which they did , they graduated with a doctorate at 22

over time she fell in love with him hard but by the time she felt the need to tell him n, he had met someone else named Emily Lyman

Olivia met Emily a few times and didn’t see any glaring reason why they shouldn’t be together not to mention she was always “busy” or our partying but soon she’ll come to realize how that would hurt Norman in the end.

Olivia over the years tried to give advice to Norman on dating but his insecurities would just talk a little bit louder and he end up making the same mistakes. Until after so many heartbreaks and lies , he just became bitter over dating. After his last and final broken engagement, with a woman who was actually genuine, due to her not wanting to sign a prenup, he just reigned to the fact that “marriage isn’t for him” . And stayed a confirmed bachelor.

at 40 years old she left the Company to start her own. Norman was heartbroken a bit but knew she ha dreams of her own to pursue and they always talked abut her dreams as well and he was more than happy to support her.

Norman made sure he was the first one to donate to her company of 100 million dollars.

she moved her company to upstate New York, where she built a home as well and feels like she can "breathe"
