When You’ve Accidentally Fallen In Love With A Fish

Code Refactored| Chapter 1

Chapter Title: Short fall, hard landing

Chapter Summary: Chell is alone and starving, and she’s desperate enough to poke around in long-abandoned buildings -- until one collapses beneath her feet and she falls into the depths of Aperture once more. Virgil is begrudgingly assigned to the task of assessing the damage afterwards and, finding the injured human, is hit with an idea: to use her to find his friend Mel. 

Fic Word Count: 3599

Fic Summary: Chell was free, left stranded and adrift in a sea of golden waving grass. She lost a friend named Wheatley and expected him to float in space forever. Virgil was trapped, subject to the orders given by the Central Core. He lost a friend named Mel and hoped to see her alive, soon.

Chell is tenacious, having learned never to trust a core, even if they are friendly. Virgil is snarky and sarcastic, but has seen first hand what a human can do.

Chell and Virgil make a deal, and for such an innocuous decision, the secrets they would discover would be Earth-shattering.

When your hamster shoves an entire stick of zucchini in his cheek and then goes about his day. 🤣

(He’s sitting on the floor. If he were standing, he wouldn’t have his elbows on the bed. Victor’s too tired to really care about semantics, though.)

Victor commissions tailored clothes for him.

The gingerbread house project!

I don’t see it brought up very often, but in-game NPCs each have emojis that they favor and will use in certain situations. Guide and the Arms Dealer specifically use fighting emojis with each other, even if they don’t mind being neighbors. (The Arms Dealer outright admitting that he knows about the voodoo doll and would like to shoot it supports this, but it’s fun to talk about the emojis.)

Anywho. Guide’s aura makes him an immediate target of suspicion. The Arms Dealer isn’t 100% sure what’s up, but he doesn’t like it.

Victor experiences an emotion.

Do you ever just feel bad for the servants. I feel bad for the servants. But also its funny
