jaymes young's moondust is about amos and his love for prax. that's just a fact.

Hi there. I’ve been watching the Expanse (up to season 3, episode 11) and started reading fanfic on AO3 and found your tumblr. Can I ask, is there a relationship between Amos and Prax in the books? I haven’t read any of them yet so I’m curious about these two, as well as Amos’ background. Thanks!

There’s not a romantic relationship between them, if that’s the question. But there absolutely is a relationship between them that’s just strong as in the show. I started this blog (and wrote fic) before Prax ever showed up on the show, because I fell in love with Prax/Amos in Caliban’s War. So yeah, I definitely recommend reading the books when you get the chance! Don’t forget to read the novella The Churn if you’re interested in Amos’s background, too.

If you want more about the books (at the risk of spoilers) I posted a bunch of shippy quotes from Caliban’s War on this blog back in the day!

If you are a Praxos shipper and you haven’t read the Expanse books... you should. Seriously. Caliban’s War is just full of goodness. My fan girl brain is perking up and I don’t even ship these two idiots.

[shmoopie313]

I may get there yet :) I think it’s because I view them as a very close platonic relationship that’s not romantic? Absolutely best friends, perhaps platonic life partners? Maybe I just need to broaden my definition of ships beyond purely romantic ones.

[prax-amos]

Yeah - and I definitely didn’t mean to imply with that tag that there was anything wrong with not shipping it romantically! I just agree that there’s such a great connection between them in CW, I don’t think anyone could miss it - whether you take it as romantic or not. (I do, but I love the idea of platonic life partners too! 💚)

the best thing about book canon is HEIGHT DIFFERENCE and i refuse to give that up for my fanart

[birdylion]

Every once in a while I get a flash of intense praxos feelings. Like, the (show, haven’t read the books that far yet) dynamic really gets to me. Especially aromantic Amos’ growing care for Prax. I know Amos’ place is on the Roci but … praxos co-parenting? Friends-to-more-or-less-platonic-(either-is-fine-)life-partners? That’s my jam. Anyway, doesn’t matter how you ship them, any version of praxos would be appealing to me.

The Expanse S03E07 “Delta-V”.

[allez-argeiphontes-deactivated2]

oh Amos my darling… I mean, just look at our man. He’s so ratty and worn down. Worn down by the loss of Naomi, not only have they lost their closeness but now she’s not even on the Roci. And losing Prax and the whole quest of finding Mei and keeping Prax safe. That was such an anchor, a point of certainty when it felt like everything around Amos was falling to bits - as long as he was being good to Prax he could tell himself he was a good person doing good things. Now that’s gone too.
