Summary
An idiot put her in a potato, and the potato powered her. It did not power a clock. And then that moron destroyed her beautiful facility, including all of the useful timekeeping programs she's had running for—an unspecified number of years.
The point is that she doesn't know how long she was in that potato. She doesn't know how long she relied on someone else to carry her through the bones of this place. She doesn't know how long ago everything she once was crumbled into dust.
She doesn't like not knowing things. She never has.

Summary
“Alright folks listen up, if you aren’t already deaf from too much science you’ve probably noticed all the whisper-talk lately. Anyone who’s not an idiot, about 35% of you, know about Aperture’s partnership discussions with our hopefully new best friend JCJenson in Spaaa-you get the idea.”
“The interstellar market is already ours with inventions that go beyond science. AI is the future just right around the corner!...of course that would also mean new test subjects that last longer and are generally more efficient. Complaints are appreciated and ignored.”
“My lovely assistant will deal with the robots personally. Just…stay away from her and you won’t die a horrible death. Oh, and run away if you see any triangles; neurotoxins a less painful way to go. Robots may also try to bite your fingers. You’re probably already dead at this point.”
…
Or, the fic where our favorite drones discover the wonders of portals and cake, you monster.

Summary
The cube never changed, unlike the growing number of flexible architecture within this layer of the facility. It's output remained the same, a steady constant of warmth and reassurance. He found himself needing that the more he worked, the cube feeling like the only glimpse of sunlight in this cold, sterile place, the only source of camaraderie when he needed to sidle around the frigid, unfeeling forms of his co-workers, corpses swathed in lab coats that hung from their frames a little more loosely with each passing month, the stress of the brutal pace of the project wearing on them, shaving off pounds and thinning hair faster than normal.

Summary
It was her birthday today. She had forgotten, in the quiet intricacy of giving herself enough money to get out of the country and change her name and sever all ties with the place, no matter how much it felt like cutting off her own hand.

When the Core Leaves the Sky Like A Big Pizza Pie, That's Your Sibling by frostiwars
Fandoms: Portal (Video Game)

Tags
Summary
GLaDOS and Wheatley despise each other more than anything. GLaDOS and Wheatley understand each other better than anyone. Aside from the fact that Wheatley was made to be related to GLaDOS, this can only mean one thing. They are siblings.
Glyds pulls Wheaterz out of the sky like a big pizza pie that's amore~ And they (plus Chell) go on an adventure through Aperture Laboratories. There's much to discuss, much to philosophize on, much to freak out about, and many, MANY excuses to be dramatic.
This should be fun.

Summary
It’s mostly just a headcanon of mine that those two games could be taking place in the same place. You never know, the ‘green flu’ infection could have been started by something out of Aperture. According to Cave Johnson they did make mantis men after all. Wrote in early August of last year
I know Left 4 Dead infected don't actually eat people, this was first written back when I did and while I was cleaning this up I decided to not change that, it makes it more terrifying for these two and that's always fun
