Day 2, Sept. 30th: DEMONS / DRAGONS

Day 3, Oct. 1st: WHITE / BLUE

GIVE IT UP FOR YEAR THREE!

We've definitely been spoiled this past year: TLOVM season 3 gave us more Perc'ahlia than we could dream of and Campaign 3 saw Taliesin and Laura reprise their roles as Exandria's It Couple for several episodes. What better way to celebrate these characters than with another Perc'ahlia Week! Fanart, fanfics, cosplay shoots, crafts, podfics - however you want to engage with this ship, we're right here with you <3

You might notice we've shifted the dates a touch - this is to account for TLOVM s3 episode 3 'Vexations' airing on October 3rd 2024. Now campaign and show fans can both enjoy the anniversaries of this ship setting sail! 💘

Feedback from our fandom has resulted in another addition: this year we are including Alternative Prompts, for anyone looking for more direction or not clicking with either of our one-word prompts. 💙

As usual, this event is aimed at fans of all Critical Role media featuring these two. To be mindful to your fellow fans, we request you use the tag #cr spoilers for any campaign-specific pieces past where TLOVM s3 ended. Likewise, please use #NSFW tags when relevant - as steamy as these two are, remember that there are minors (and people checking tags at work) in this fandom space!

Tag any creations made for the event with #percahliaweek, or @ us here @percahliaweek, and we will reblog it. Or you can submit directly to the blog if you’d prefer!

We also have a Discord server - both to encourage eachother to work on WIPs and just hang out. You can find us HERE <3

Any questions? We have an FAQ up HERE - but please don’t hesitate to send in an ask!

I absolutely flopped on my plans for contributing to percahlia week, but I managed to start two sketches (even if I didn’t finish or post on time).

For day 2 (the demon part of demons/dragons), I thought of the scene in “Gunpowder Plot” (1.31) when Vex pushes him against the wall:

“Are you all right?”

“I think so.”

“Look me in the eye, Percy.”

“I feel… cruel. But in control. This is controllable, at the moment.”

Playing with the day 1 prompt (yours/later), I was thinking of Percy trying to get his shirt back from Vex, something like, “My dear, you know everything I have is yours, but I might need to get dressed sometime later…”

Perc'ahlia Week 2025 Wrap-Up

And with that, our third year of Perc'ahlia Week comes to a close! Thank you so much to everyone who participated, whether that was through direct contributions, or through anyone who interacted with and reblogged someone else's content. Without you all, there would be no event for us to host, so pat yourselves on the back!! You did an amazing job. We absolutely adored getting to see everyone's different interpretations of our prompts! With campaign 4 having just begun, and the animated shows for Vox Machina and The Mighty Nein both rapidly approaching, it's been such a joy to get some of the momentum rolling on more fan creations within the wider Critical Role fandom.

I also want to shout out all of my fellow mods!! We have a wonderful team of @blorbologist, who kept us on schedule and actually made sure this event happened in the first place; @burr-ell, who was on the clock checking for submissions and posts like no one else; and @crithaus, our local Vex Nation President who was always stepping in to catch us when something fell through. And also me! I'm not allowed to downplay what I did or the other mods will Get Me - and I genuinely enjoyed everything I did to help keep this thing going. I love those moodboards guys, you don't understand.

Even though the week is over, that doesn't mean you can't submit any more prompts! Anything is welcome, whether it's something you didn't get finished on time, or an update/adendum to something previously submitted. We'll all be checking the tags, our mentions, and the AO3 collection (which you should totally check out!!) to make sure no one's pieces get missed. Heck, you can submit things from the previous years if you want! It's never too late to share some content for these silly D&D characters who we all love so much.

Again, a massive, massive thank you to everyone who participated or followed us along for the ride. Feel free to join our Discord Server if you want to keep chatting about all things Perc'ahlia and Critical Role, we've got an awesome little community sharing thoughts and content year 'round.

And, as always - is it Thursday yet?

After for @percahliaweek

Thanks to Perc'ahlia Week mods for prompts, their own works, and hosting an epic, creative event as usual.

Chapter Summary: Vox Machina was asked to be honored guests of Kaylie Shorthalt at her latest performance at Taste of Tal'Dorei. After midnight in Jrusar, Percy and Vex had a hot, fiery, and private celebration of his fifty-first birthday. They returned to Whitestone later in the afternoon for a proper party with their friends and their children. Rated: E

A/N: This is a tad smuttier than the first chapter. This is Percy and Vex in their fifties, who had time and lots of experience under their belts. The same spicy tags still apply here. If you want to skip that, there's the plot of Percy's birthday.

Excerpt:

Noticing a colorful poster of a monk woman and a student of Groon mid-combat, Grog cheered, “Fuck yeah! Fight at midnight in the Luscious-.” “Lucient Spire Arena.” Pike corrected, patting him on the back. “Good job sounding it out though, Grog. Both D. Rolls, you comin’ with us? It should be fun. Percy excused, gripping his unnecessary cane. “We’re old and tired.” “Speak for yourself, dear.” Vex interrupted with a glare as sharp as her arrowheads. Her husband faked a loud yawn. “I’m old and tired. We’re going to return to the Spire by Fire, and call it a night, eh?” “Boring!” The goliath cajoled with an eye roll. Pike blew them flying kisses. “Okay! Sleep so well, you two.”

somebody get this woman a con score

perc'ahlia week day 7: before/after

[beezonia]

For the last day of @percahliaweek

I chose after!

Was supposed to put a fic out with this but hopefully it’ll come soon, the basic gist was Vex couldn’t sleep and ended up in the ballroom of their home and Percy finds her in what seems like a daze.

They talk about the past, how vex wishes things could’ve been different at times. But she’d never trade them for the life she has now.

(Also can you tell I didn’t know how to draw Percy’s hair lol)

Fourth and final piece for perc’ahlia week this year!

“Darling…take off the mask”

These two will forever and ever be my favorite ship 💜

day 7 of @percahliaweek - before/after - time passes. now, they are two half forgotten graves. but there is love.

Vex outlives Percy, but that's okay. After those years without her husband (yet she could feel his love in every step she took, in the city they built, in the clock he built as a gift for her, the Heart of Whitestone, in the castle where they built a family, in that family, raised in love and not fear nor anger, in everything he gave her), when her grave is planted on the outside (she asked to be buried next to him, he asked her where he should be buried so she would enjoy being next to him in death, she said not in the crypt, because it's under stone, under death, it's cold, but on the open, in a quiet spot on the forest where life surrounds us), next to her husband's, their tombs will slowly lean towards each other as their kids grow old. Years pass, until the stones are fully leaning against each other.

Byroden for @percahliaweek

Chapter Summary: Vex’ahlia traveled home again to Byroden whilst pregnant with Freddie. She and Percival ran into old and new friends. Their arrival came on the remembrance day of Thordak’s incursion. The couple caught on with a very important member of their family on this somber occasion. Rated: T

Excerpt:

The couple watched the sunset through a picture window, recounting more of their day thus far. His wife inquired, “Under normal circumstances, you’re always so precious about the allocation of your company of shot, Percy. What changed your mind?” “I know Byroden has a place in your heart as big as Whitestone. It’s very important to you. So it’s important to me too, my darling.” “Thank you, Percy.”

[burr-ell]

Byroden is known for the three M's: militia, mining, and merriment. And we're doing all three today! So come on in. There's festival foods. We're a very pie-based culture.

@percahliaweek, Day 6: Whitestone/Byroden

Whitestone as the home they both longed for after so long not having a place where they could truly rest and feel safe.
