Summary
"Carraway." There came a brief pause as Jay Gatsby's eyes raked over my face, inspecting my jawline and cheekbones with a critical air. Comparing. I felt more naked than ever before in my life, a part of me convinced that he would notice something amiss through my flannel suit. Naturally, he only asked, "Any relation to Daisy Fay? I heard mention of that name from her a time or two."

Summary
Jay cleared his throat. For the first time, I noticed his pained, honest expression.
"Nick, what's the difference between a delusion and a dream?"
I blinked at the ceiling, willing the mist in my eyes to clear, but it persisted.
"Dreams, you can actually reach. Or, rather, you could if you'd just wake up," I said.

Tango has weird dreams where he talks to this sheriff character, who insists, in turn, that he is the one dreaming. Which made no sense! The Sheriff was just a voice inside his head. Wasn't he...? Still, it all felt strangely familiar, and he couldn't put his finger on why.

Summary
“Go,” Octavius repeated. “Run. I am with you.”
Jedediah did the one thing he never thought he was capable of doing. The thing he would have sooner died than chosen of his own accord.
He ran.Secret of the Tomb AU. Octavius doesn't make it out of Pompeii; angry and grieving, Jedediah goes home alone. Meanwhile, for Octavius, his whole world changes overnight. The new museum is thriving on the magic of the tablet, but it's not where he belongs.
It's going to be a long way home.- Language:

Summary
Jedediah and Octavius were content to leave the Tablet in London. It was the least any of them could do to repay Ahkmenrah for his generosity over the years. They’d go back to what they were always meant to be: wax miniatures intended to teach people about history.
But saying goodbye is difficult. It’s hard to say all that you want to say when the sun is about to rise. It’s hard to let go.
It’s even harder when there are so many feelings left unsaid.
Or; what happened after Larry dropped Jed and Octavius off at the Hall of Miniatures?

Summary
“I ain’t got nobody else to talk to and I know you don’t either. Now–” Jedediah shifted a bit in his seat, leaning in closer to Octavius, “–What’s yer favorite color?”
“Such a basic question! But fine. It’s red.” Octavius gestured to the red scarf on the back of his chair.
“Such a basic answer!” Jedediah shot back before answering the question himself. “Mine’s blue.”
“As if that is not any more basic of an answer!” Octavius’ threw his hands up in exasperation.
“Whatever, I swear if this is the attitude you have, I pity yer students, Octopus.”
or Octavius is a latin teacher who is fed up with adults but loves the kids like his own and Jedediah is an art teacher who loves to screw with his least favorite latin teacher.

"Listen, I meant it when I said that I wasn't in a fightin' mood, so you can quit right now before you get your ass handed to ya'."
Octavius swallows and does not resist. "Why were you down here, anyways?" he asks.
Jedediah searches his face for a moment. "Same reason you are, I'm guessin'." He doesn't seem to notice that he's still perched atop of Octavius.
Jedediah's still watching him as he licks his lips with the intention to respond before--

Slow build fic I'm writing to show the ever changing relationship between Jedediah and Octavius. Little angst-y, little headcanon-y. You know, the good stuff.Bookmarked by scalesandink
