One night aboard the octopod, the crew were huddled around inkling's armchair "a fine story professor" barnacles praised, everyone nodded in agreement "could you tell us another one please?" River asked shyly, the professor smiled at the little bear canine hybrid "I'd be delighted. now, what kind of story would everyone like to hear next?" The octopus asked, adjusting his monocle "I know, why don't we all take turns telling about how we became the octonauts" Saber piped up happily, the dumbo octopus nodded "wonderful idea Saber, captain would you like to start..." The origins series tells how the crew came together (or at least my headcanon lol). The series is a prequel to my little treasure

The title says it all- Octonauts one-shots! What happens when the Octonauts aren't exploring, rescuing, or protecting? The answer is all that happens in this book! I don't own the cover, and I definitely don't own Octonauts (but in my mind they are all mine!). There will be no shipping/pairings at all in this book, just friendship and family.

Just random headcanons I came up with for the Octonauts. Thanks to @thethirdweasleytwin for letting me use their idea.

After an explosion happened in Shellington's lab. Captain Barnacles and Dashi saw the whole of what happened to Shellington. The Scientist turned himself into a baby otter pup, with the help of Pearl they have to take care of baby Shellington until they figure the antidote to get Shellington back to normal.

It was the summer of 1987 in Perth, Scotland, and a young 7-year-old named Shellington Sea Otter struggled with controlling his emotions due to his autism. Whenever he became upset or encountered something he didn't like, he would have a meltdown. However, he found comfort in someone who understood him - a boy named Barnacles Jr. who also had autism. Together, they embarked on many adventures until Shellington was ready to face the world on his own. As he grew up, he faced numerous challenges, but he persevered and forged his path.
