Percy, in episode 44, talking to Vax: “It’s good to want things. It’s very, very good to want things. It’s also very, very good to, uh… have things. It’s good to find the things that are important to you and move towards them. I’m in a place where I have to make decisions about what’s important, and I’m a little envious that you seem to be ahead of the curve on that.”

“I am starting to imagine a better version of myself. I’m not quite sure who that is yet, but there is a destiny, I think, for us all, together.”

i’ve always said he was talking about vex but he really was talking about vex you guys

I KNEW THIS WAS MISLISTED AS A VAXLETH MOMENT AHAHAHAHAHA

Honestly I always thought I’m just delusional, but these disaster babies have just been SO OBVIOUS. ALWAYS.

For real, though. I kept thinking Liam is the one who got everyone on the shipping train, and also the one pushing not only for Vaxleth but also for Perc’ahlia the hardest, but nope. Here we are, with official confirmation that those disaster babies have been pining for each other since at least episode 5. The slowest of burns.

“Oh my god, you’re so stupid to think she’s talking about Percy! She
totally meant her brother/Trinket/everyone/herself! Stop seeing
everything through shipping goggles, this is totally platonic kissing and titling!”

Rewatching and currently at episode 66. It’s such a good Perc’ahlia episode, despite not being mentioned in the stats ship moments at all. First their romantic flight across the cityscape involves a bit more vomit than is strictly advisable, but it’s okay since they get to have a fancy casino date afterwards.

Also:

Vex: I guess I’ll just walk there alone.

Percy: Or could walk with us.

And

“25 gold pieces from my… Wonderful…”

– Your wonderful what, Percy? Gibberish word afterwards.

Just goes to show that these adorable disaster babies totally would have committed to their romance arc even without the while dying part. Honestly, he dying part might have slowed the process down a bit.

So someone brought it to my attention that Laura put a song for Percy on the very first Vex playlist. Referencing all the demony bullshit of the Whitestone arc, and probably about that, but, like…

It’s called fucking Say It To Me Now. And it’s perfect. And could totally make it on the next playlist, too. Someone seems to have been playing the long game here.

And is also the perfect soundtrack for angsty smut. Not that I’m writing any right now or anything.

y’know. If someone asked me whether I’d wanted any fanfiction of mine to actually play out in canon, I wouldn’t have chosen this one.

That said, I am so fucking glad this happened and so fucking pissed that it is 6 AM and I can’t scream.

“I just…
Don’t want things to change for no reason,” she muttered into his shoulder. She
didn’t actually need the propping up from him, but it felt nice, so she kept
playing along. “You know, when we talked today? I mean, besides the fact that
we talked about death and resurrection and undead, it just was… Kinda nice to
talk to him, you know? Like nothing happened?”

“But things
happened,” Vax said softly. “And things will continue to happen. We could all
die when the next fucking dragon shows up here, and remember how that felt.”

“That is
such a mean argument,” she protested. “Oh, bye Grog. I guess.” Vex waved at
Grog as Vax led her out the room. Grog toasted her and went back to drinking.

“Yes, it’s
mean, but it’s also true,” Vax admitted, dragging her along. “Remember
Tiberius? That could be all of us in any moment.”

“Not as
well as you do,” she snorted and poked him in the side again. “And now I
instantly feel horrible. I’m drunk, don’t judge me. Also, really? He’s the
example? When we’re all in this shit just because of that time we all built a
pillow fort around Percy’s cold, dead body?”

“Is that
when you realized you are in love with him?” Vax asked in disbelief.

“I told the
fucking tree like a week before that, remember?” She now punched him in the
side now. “Keep up, man.”


Plans are made and also fail, more drunken awkwardness happens, and people talk. A lot. Just not what they’re supposed to be talking about.
