(alright brain if you’re gonna hold me hostage) Doc x Shark (there is so much good fucking material aaaaaaaaa)
When the Doctor received the news that Specter had been ‘cured,’ a lot of thoughts went through his mind. Most pressing of them: “What if Laurie doesn’t remember me fuuuuuu-”
“Doctor?” Amiya popped her head into his office. “Specter’s here to see you.”
“Shit already? I mean, uh, send her in.” Now he was cursing in front of impressionable Cautuses, oh he was gonna blow it big time wasn’t he-
All thought, and most of his blood, exited his brain as Laurentina glided into his office. Not literally - most people would’ve said she walked in - but exalted beings don’t walk, and She certainly was exalted in his mind. One sharp-toothed grin was all it took to dissolve him. “My, my, my~ Do you still recognize me, Doctor?”
“O-of course.” His eyes were hers to command as she drifted around his office, circling him. “I didn’t know if you’d remember me…”
“Oh? Worried about the rocks in my head blocking you from my mind? Well, they haven’t, so we can skip the boring introductions and get straight to business. After all, we still don’t know each other at all, do we?” Specter passed by his chair close enough to set it spinning, so she did.
An apt metaphor for his state of mind, considering what she’d just said. “We don’t?”
“The ‘me’ you knew isn’t who I am.” The shark’s eye gleamed as she twirled around to walk backwards. “She’s a fun mask to put on, now that she’s not a straightjacket, but you never got to see the real me until today. I wonder if you’ll be disappointed.”
“I…”
Laurie shook her head. “Come now, my little dry-lander, you’ve been waiting for this day, haven’t you? Surely you have something to say to pique my interest?”
“Sorry,” he mumbled, “it’s just…”
“I guess you can find me when you’ve figured it out. My patience is limited, Doctor~” She left him a hook as she drifted towards the door-
-but turned back to look at him as the Doctor slammed his fist on his desk. “Damnit, woman, could you stop being sexy for two seconds?!”
“I’ve never tried that,” Specter smirked, walking back towards him. “Why start now?”
“Then how the hell am I supposed to think straight? I’m not gonna be able to rub two brain cells together any time you’re in the room… This is so unfair.” He sighed, wondering if his fate was to serve as the shark’s chew toy in new and differently painful ways.
Two eye-blinks later, though, and Laurentina’s hands were pressing on the arms of his desk chair. “Am I frustrating you?”
“Frustrat- Are you serious?” He set his hands on top of hers and pushed himself to his feet without dislodging the shark. “Do you know how ‘frustrated’ I’ve been while you were fighting anemones with your girlfriends?”
“Weren’t you busy with some self-imposed period of abstinence? What was it called… ‘No Nut-’”
The Doctor lifted his mask so he could face-palm properly. “Son of a-”
“Got you.” She finished removing that pesky face covering of his, tossing it onto the couch on the other side of his office, so she could reach her real prey: his lips. “Mmmm~ Finally. You know how to keep a girl waiting.”
“Asdfghjkl-”
Another kiss, longer, enough to leave him gasping as Specter smiled at him. “I thought you’d try to ‘bring me to my senses’ like you used to. Someone forgot my weak point~”
“I didn’t forget,” the Doctor sputtered, cursing his asthmatic lungs for stealing precious seconds of face-time. “Imagine if I tried something like that on Orca.”
“We both know she’s sweet on you, too. Now, if you tried something like that on Kal’tsit?” She laughed-
-leaving herself open for him to lightly tap her nose. “Poke~”
“...You cheeky little-” This time she was the one interrupted by the incoming kiss. When the Doctor pulled back to catch his breath again, Laurentina followed him halfway, her face inches from his and flushed. “Doctor.”
“Yes, Precious?” He braced himself, expecting more of the same.
The shark, of course, knew how to surprise him. She plucked him from his chair. “I’m not yet satisfied.”
“Wait a minute.” The Doctor reached for his pocket. “I can’t-”
“Are you really going to content yourself with the so-called beauty of incompletion? And you claimed I frustrated you.” There was a genuine flicker of annoyance mixed with her recently-returned taunting smugness.
Anything but as he pointed his phone at the door and engaged the emergency office lockdown; the lights dimmed immensely, the door secured itself with several locking mechanisms, and a “do not disturb” sign turned on outside. “-before I make sure we won’t be disturbed.”
“Ah, yes.” She rolled her eyes far enough back for her second eyelid to close. “You and your privacy concerns.”
“I like having a job, thank you very much.” Whatever customs she was used to, he didn’t want to think about the PR nightmare someone walking in on them might cause.
Specter simply clicked her tongue. “As if they’d have the gall to eject you. Are we doing this, or is there some other delay I should know about?”
“Nothing else,” he promised. “God, it’s good to have you back.”
“Oh, but Doctor, we’ve barely even begun to get to know each other, truly… Let’s fix that~”

So has anyone noticed how weird the timeline seems to be when taking the story scenario and the Devilgrams into account?
While we are absolutely in the past, and at a time where RAD hasn't been built yet, some of the Devilgram stories definitely have the school existing, either in the background or as part of the story. The brothers also have their casual clothes on in some of the stories, and in others, their RAD uniforms.
Yet despite it all, they still call us their attendant here and there in the Devilgrams. Levi only mentions Henry and not Henry 2.0. Satan acts so calm and composed, like our Satan would be acting. No trace or clue of the demons from our present time, else they surely wouldn't call us their attendant if we had been brought back, right?
And not only that, but it seems that the Wanderer's Whereabouts app is telling us that we might indeed go back to living in the House of Lamentation in the future!
Take these two pictures here: the first one is from the loading screen of the app, the other is the current layout of the House as we currently know it.
So this might just be that as the brothers' official attendant in Nightbringer (as of yet), they will allow us to live with them in the House of Lamentation at some point in the story. Or could it be just the screen we'll get once we get back in the future, and back at the House of Lamentation we know and love? We can't know for sure when that'll happen though.
Overall, I am a bit confused about the chronology of Nightbringer so far. 😮💨
