Summary
Hell yeah self indulgent modern au CoH babyyyyy.
Octavo is trying to start a band, and his grandfather, Octavian, a.k.a the NecroDancer, is trying to stop him, but never specifies why.
“He said I didn’t need to take it, told me something about how I wouldn’t…” Octavo pauses, and just shakes his head. “Whatever. He didn’t take positively to it.”
“Didn’t you like, ace that class, though?” Zelda laughs. “I mean, if I had a kid that took a class I was against, I’d still be impressed by, what, you said…97?”
“Yeah, yeah. It was one of my best classes.” He shrugs.
Cadence pulls up to his house, and stops for a moment.
“Alright,” Octavo starts to get up, but Cadence keeps the doors locked.
“Wait.”
“What?”
Cadence looks back at him again. “Don’t let that old fuck tell you what you can or can’t do, alright?”
“I know..” He laughs. “I try not to let him get to me.”

Summary
uhjhhh uhhh my self indulgent au entirely. i dont if there's anyone who is CoHpilled and Thgpilled like me. but. brother if you are this one is for you specifically
The boy laughs, and Harmonie seems to stare directly at him. Octavo gulps, and the boy stops laughing. Harmonie clears her throat.
“Good. Now, for this year’s tributes,” She says with a smile. “Ladies first.”
Octavo can breathe for a moment. His family cannot be reaped here. Whatever name she says will not affect him. Is it wrong that he finds some peace in that?
She opens the slip–god, can she make this any slower–and leans into the mic as she reads out loud;
“Our female tribute,” She says, slowly, and she’s just dragging it out at this point. “Is…”
He can feel the crowd tense. Holding their breath. Sighs of relief will follow. So will grief.
“Cadence Berceuse.” She finally says.
Octavo looks through the crowd until he sees her, all dolled up for the capitol, which is weird-and not right at all.

Summary
Octavo composes a song, from late night conversations and concepts. Who would've thought people might hear your little quartet?
Cadence glares at him one more time, and it’s quiet for a moment.
One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.
Cadence starts playing again, and her hands move fast, and she only gets faster, and louder.
Oh, I gave her a solo, didn’t I?

Summary
Octavo starts hearing a voice that is oddly familiar to his, and all of a sudden he's analyzing those he trusts for threats. He's scared, and there's ONE solution that just might work. It's permanent. He'll never hurt anybody again.
“Oh, don’t lie to me, Link. I know it’s what you think.”
“No, that’s what you think.”
Octavo goes quiet. Link’s right, but it’s weird to be called out like that. Octavo pulls back.
“But-”
“No buts, that’s what you’re telling yourself.”
“No, I, you don’t-”
“No. You’re making stuff up, and I understand a lot has happened-”
“You don’t know HALF of what happened to me!” he snaps. Link finally moves back, and his eyes narrow.
Octavo doesn’t move. He doesn’t make a sound.

From the Italian verb acciaccare, "to crush"; a very fast grace note that is ‘crushed’ against the note that follows and takes up no value in the measure.
