All the king's horses, all the king's men Couldn't put me together again 'Cause all of my enemies started out friends Help me hold onto you

😳 What’s the most embarrassing thing they’ve walked in on the other doing?

🖤 What’s the darkest “we’ll never tell anyone” thing they’ve done together?

🌌 What’s their “we made it through hell” memory they’ll tell their grandkids?

Thanks sweetie. <3

From these questions.

😳 What’s the most embarrassing thing they’ve walked in on the other doing?

Ok, this is not walking in on each other but just embarrassing thing about them. That would have to be in Our Memories when they see each other at his inauguration, to be overwhelmed with the memories of their past lives where they were in love with each other. While Octavia has a tadpole.

That airdrops all those memories into the minds of her companions. And the Emperor. Oh, and Astarion, gossip queen supreme? Yeah, kinda embarrassing.

🖤 What’s the darkest “we’ll never tell anyone” thing they’ve done together?

It's not really what they have done together but they both went through? It's Raphael and his abuse. Nobody can understand it like them, nobody who knows the full truth like the both of them.

🌌 What’s their “we made it through hell” memory they’ll tell their grandkids?

This is a lil spoilerrrr for Pactbound

Thank you, darling!!!🫶

Thank you so much, lovely <3

From these questions.

🧸 Who still has the very first gift the other ever gave them?

Octavia has the dress that Gortash gave her together with the matching jewelery. She is quite sentimental so she would keep anything that he gave her. Now what

🎶 What’s their song - the one that makes them both tear up / grin like idiots?

Daylight by Taylor Swift.

I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you I don't wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you I've been sleeping so long in a 20-year dark night And now I see daylight 

🩹 How do they comfort each other after nightmares?

Octavia would comfort Gortash by just holding him and stroking his hair. Letting him know that she is there for him, that he isn't alone.

Gortash would first want to know if he can fix the issue, otherwise it would be just cuddling.

💞 How do they act when one of them is sick?

When Gortash is sick, it's BAD. Like, man doesn't stop for something small, he would rather chug health potions the entire time. So when Octavia can drag his sick ass to bed, it's already bad. Octavia would be in solution-mode: making some tea and potion that could help, make chicken soup.

When Octavia is sick, it's a whole operation. Man is getting the best clerics to examine her, even when she's telling him that she just needs some rest and some hot tea. Octavia doesn't get just tea, man has sourced the best tea that could help. He is watching her like a hawk and probably also threatening the clerics that if she doesn't get better, they will be facing the consequences.

🔥 What’s the pettiest thing they’ve ever argued about? 🌙 Who’s the little spoon & who pretends they hate it but secretly loves it?

😳 What’s the most embarrassing thing they’ve walked in on the other doing?

🍳 Who cooks & who sets off the smoke alarm trying to help? 💞 How do they act when one of them is sick?

⚓ If one of them had to leave forever, what would they leave behind for the other?

Thank you so much sweetheart.

From these questions.

🔥 What’s the pettiest thing they’ve ever argued about?

It's not written out yet but they will argue about romance and soulmates in modern AU. And things might not be how you would imagine.

🌙 Who’s the little spoon & who pretends they hate it but secretly loves it?

Octavia is usually the little spoon but I think Gortash would enjoy it as well. Man is just so fucking touch starved that he would relish in it.

😳 What’s the most embarrassing thing they’ve walked in on the other doing?

Not they've walked in on the other doing. But getting the memories of their previous lives together while having a tadpole so all the companions and the Emperor know all of them has to rate pretty high?

🍳 Who cooks & who sets off the smoke alarm trying to help?

Let's be honest, we all know it's Octavia who cooks and Gortash who sets off the smoke alarm. You just know he has some invention we wants to use and shit ends up going wrong.

⚓ If one of them had to leave forever, what would they leave behind for the other?

Octavia would leave Gortash a journal behind with letters that she has written for him. Probably with dried flowers pressed in it. Gortash would not accept the fact he had to leave her forever, so man is doing anything to keep it from happening. Man may have made a pact with a witch in modern au for this reason.

Oh boy, let's go.

🌹 Who fell harder & who fell first?

Octavia fell first, Gortash fell harder even if he doesn't even realize it. I do have a modern AU cooking where dynamics are a liiiiil different and it's Gortash who fell first and fell HARD.

🌸 What nickname do they have for each other that would mortify them if others heard?

I don't think that any of them have any nicknames that would be like that. Also, these two are so love starved that I can see them being happy just having someone who gives them a nickname.

🧡 What color reminds each of them of the other?

Light blue and purple reminds Gortash of Octavia (calm, serene, peaceful, mystery) Dark brown reminds Octavia of Gortash because his eyes (security, safety, comfort)

'Cause I can't see and I can't feel

But the color in your eyes is saying if my dreams come up empty

And I wash up on the shore, you would find me at the beach

In every life, through every door

I was tagged by the lovely @fireflyeyes and @faeriiefire for this tag and well, it does fit with Intertwined coming to an end.

Well, Octavia and Gortash have a daughter Aurora in the Intertwined universe. I'm still brainstorming a little bit about how Aurora her personality would be (I mean, having his intellect and her mother's puppy eyes is a combination made in the Hells) and how she would be a bit older. Which is going to be explored in one shots because I do love these three together.

I feel like everyone has done this tag already so open tag to anybody who wants to participate! <3
