crack: vert has his shit together until sherman's around, and outside of serious missions or discussions vert's a bit of a loser whose brain melts. sherman is cute and a little oblivious specifically to vert's attraction, and has some very subtle hints of having a crush on vert himself.
(stanford's mental health is suffering as vert's self-proclaimed wingman. he needs vert to grow a pair and confess already, because watching their mutual slowburn pining is actively destroying what's left of his respect for their great and fearless leader.
he is exasperatedly fond and has WAY more opinions than he should for a man who only just got a girlfriend.)
serious hcs + characterization: in the normal setting, they have a 'skinny love' thing going on because they're worried that their feelings might impact the overall mission, team cohesion, and ability to fulfill their duties. typical 'we have to put this aside for the sake of the greater good'/'we don't have time to invest in our personal lives because the universe is at stake' sort of forced distance from each other.
i do think vert has a harder time with keeping things professional. he's very passionate and already cares a lot for his team even on a platonic level, views them as his family, etc. and while he's good at keeping focused, vert's inner conflicts tend to revolve around whether to listen to his head or his heart.
sherman has a lot more experience putting his needs/wants aside for the sake of something of higher priority, and in general doesn't tend to wear his heart on his sleeve even if he's very sweet - which causes some of the miscommunication, and is where a lot of vert's worries about his 'one-sided' affection come from.
but i think it's clear that they work well together, too. everyone does obviously, but in the same way that i hc agura to kind of be vert's 'right hand' woman, sherman would be his 'left hand'. (right being to help act on something, carry out an action; left being an informative/advisory role.) there's a handful of times throughout the series where vert will call out to sherman for verification on something, even while sage and tezz are also members of the team who could provide whatever he's checking for.
likewise, it helps build sherman's confidence up (we see sherman noticeably speak up more without being addressed first, more willing to tell rather than suggest.) building sherman's self advocacy is BIG and something that's largely attributable to vert as opposed to anyone else on the team, even if they care for him too.
and also im a sucker for complementary elements, so the whole fire/water thing i was kind of a gonner for anyway
stanford has slightly more braincells intact in the serious hcs of the ship but he's still suffering by a much larger margin having to watch the slowburn last YEARS lol
they ARE a pain in my ass when im looking for pose references tho cus no one wants to pose the bigger partner as the 'bottom' in a dynamic. which you think i would've learned my lesson by now given the other fandoms im in but whatever
i could probably keep going but id need to be pointed in a direction and released like a windhound or else im going to torture them in c!au
