    Summary

    In the very recent days out on the sea their co-captain Gillion had revealed something personal about his triton biology to them. In an anxious, unexpected conversation he’d sheepishly admitted to them that tritons required a brief hibernation at least once a winter for them to maintain a healthy metabolic system.

    Gillion described it almost like the way they sometimes restarted Alphonse’s gears if he was experiencing malfunctions, that it was a way for a triton’s body to shut down and restore balance to all of its internal functions and prepare for the summer months full of intense swimming and food-catching.

    When he brought it up he seemed beyond embarrassed, mentioning that if he could he wouldn’t have told them in the first place as to not worry or inconvenience them but he didn’t want them to be frightened when he inevitably started sleeping and did not wake for potentially up to two weeks.

    -----------
    Or, the three times Gillion denied his triton instincts and the one time he didn't.

    Summary

    "Something is wrong with Chip, and if anyone should know what the fuck is up with his head, it should be him. Right? Fucking wrong, apparently. It's driving him crazy. He's been so emotional since Noctis, and he keeps having all these stupid impulsive thoughts out of nowhere.
    ...
    "He could have sworn he outgrew this shit years ago."

     

    Chip struggles to cope with the aftermath of being charmed, cursed, barely an adult, and desperately in need of a father figure all at once. Further complications come in the form of three emotionally stunted co-captains not knowing how to deal with any of this, but they'll figure it out together.

    With a little help from a sunburnt stranger they pull out of the ocean, of course. Because nothing on this godsdamned ship is allowed to make sense.

    Summary

    He’d planned out the day on his way down to the beach.
    He was going to go for a swim, get some ice cream, brood over his traumatic childhood, collect some seashells for Ollie and go home.
    A simple agenda for his impromptu day off.

    Drowning in a riptide was not on the agenda.

    And then someone grabbed his hand.

    ---

    College Au Fish n' Chips.

    This is going to be a hoot.
