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.

Short comic from my AU! I will drop a few notes into the read more about the scene, plus my typical nonsense in the tags.
The character shown in panel 5 is intended to be this AU’s hero character, Chris, wearing an amethyst robe (as he’s a budding mage). I will also mention that in this AU, Terraria can bring back to life (when not weakened -- hence why she couldn’t restore the Dryad race) those who have provided great service and died an unnatural death, though it’s not a very pleasant experience. Andrew (Guide) has been brought back many, many times at this point, though he does still harbor some worries that if the WoF is defeated, he’ll have served his purpose and will remain dead. He is making logical sense with pointing out that merely killing the WoF may not free him from his curse, though -- the old man has essentially been traditionally cursed/bound to Skeletron against his will, so destroying Skeletron will free him, but Andrew has always been the WoF; there’s nothing to be separated there when it’s one soul. That doesn’t mean he’s happy about it, but he’s had plenty of time to accept it.
Despite how they talk to each other, Andrew and the old man are friends in this AU. Andrew’s actually the elder of the two, funnily enough, even if he physically appears to be fairly young. Even before the old man is freed of his curse, Andrew will visit him by the dungeon, though he doesn’t stay for long. I originally planned this scene to have them having a picnic together, then realized I didn’t want to draw food, so Andrew is instead dropping off some supplies and is given a book stolen from the dungeon in return.
I have a lot more to say about this AU, but I don’t want to stick a mile long text blog into this post, so I’m going to cut it off here. Thanks for reading!
