Self-indulgent little Vax x reader oneshot because there's not enough writing for him and I'm desperately in love with this man.

Not a writer so feel free to leave advice for improvement 🧍🏻 English is also not my first language so I apologize for any spelling or grammar mistakes in advance.

It was a cold night. You shivered and bunched the blankets closer around yourself, trying to get warm, but to no avail.

"Gods damn it-" you muttered as you crawled out of bed. You shivered when your feet touched the cold floor, but tried your best to ignore it as you pattered across your room. You pulled one of the blankets over your head and opened the door, making sure no one was in the hall before tip-toeing down to Vax's room.

When you reached his door, you hesitated. But your soles were aching from the cold floor, and that alone was the reason you decided to knock.

A few seconds passed, and you heard footsteps behind the door. Another few seconds, and the door opened. ". . . Y/n?" Vax rubbed his face, clearly just have woken up. "Why are you awake?"

You pulled the blanket tighter around your shoulders. "I'm cold."

"Still? We gave you all the spare blankets in the keep!"

". . . I'm still cold."

Vax sighed, exasperated, and stepped back. "Come in."

You wasted no time in doing as he said and quickly stepped into his room. Vax closed the door and trudged back to his bed, lying down on it. He then looked over his shoulder, expectant. "Well? You coming or not?"

You skittered across the room and hopped onto the bed, your blankets still around your shoulders. Vax huffed, amused. "How many blankets is that?"

"Three? Four? I don't know. Whatever it is, it's not enough." You crawled under his blanket, sighing in contentment as it's warmth seeped into your body.

Vax laughed softly as he observed your actions. "Are you seriously that cold? You poor thing."

"Mhm," You groaned, "it's worse in the winter."

"I can only imagine."

". . . Vax?"

"Mhmm?"

"Can you. . . Can we cuddle? Please?"

There was a pause, and your heart sank a bit. It was a mistake to ask.

But before you could apologize and laugh it off as a joke, Vax rolled over and scooped you up into his arms. "Better?" His voice was sleepy and slightly more raspy than usual. It sent shivers down your spine. "Y/n? You didn't answer my question."

You snapped out of the trance Vax's voice put you in. "Oh! Yes. Yes, this is better. Thank you, Vax."

"Mhmm." He responded. "Good night."

"Good night."

Jack of All Trades (pt 2)

A follow-up to -this- post, with the rest of the party. The Original Request: Hello. If you're willing and have the time, I jumbly request a TLOVM headcannon for the team having an s/o who steals their weapons and tries to figure out to use them. What would their reactions be and would they/how would they teach them to use the weapons?

Percy, Vax, Scanlan & Grog x Reader

Fandom: The Legend of Vox Machina/ Critical Role

Format: Headcanons

Gender Neutral Reader

Masterlist

Some credit to my lovely partner for giving me accurate info about their specific weapons. As well as a discussion on whether or not you can say Percy or Orthax invented Guns. -Finn

Percy

With anyone else in the party, there's a good chance you may have used a weapon like theirs before. But not Percy and his guns. These are his own inventions, new to Tal'Dorei completely.

They are also powered by exploding gunpowder. He is a little bit worried about letting you handle them.

Hearing a gunshot when he isn't causing it is a deep cause of concern for him, please don't steal his guns, just ask.

Percy will absolutely teach you! It's a chance to have his arms around you as he steadies your aim and stance.

He's a very...specific teacher. You have to make sure he doesn't get too wrapped up in the fine details. Keep him on track with how to shoot and he won't get way into the actual mechanics of the hammer of the gun.

Let him watch you shoot after you get the hang of it. He'll start to understand why you like watching him so much.

Vax

This man owns so many knives. He has a full-out collection of daggers. Hugging him is a dangerous prospect because you never know where one is hiding.

And with all the different daggers, it can't be that hard to steal one or two of them. How could he even notice?

Stealing them proves to be surprisingly hard. He doesn't store many of them, they always seem to be on his person.

But once you manage it, it's quite a lot of fun to handle a truly well-made dagger. In a fantasy world like this, every adventurer has held a dagger, but Vax turns it into an art and his tools reflect that.

They are also insanely sharp. Don't get too cocky with them.

He swipes them out of your hands when he finds you with them, and it's obvious just how experienced he is with handling knives. He can twist and spin them without a glance or a nick.

"Well, well, someone's got sticky fingers, hey love?"

He'll teach you how to throw them accurately and how to spin them without hitting your fingers. He will also tease you while you practice before you get the hang of it.

Scanlan

Scanlan doesn't particularly use a weapon! He's fairly strictly a spellcaster.

That being said, his instruments are likely the next best thing, particularly his lute. And that is his baby, best of luck stealing it.

If you ask him, he'll let you play it and he'll teach you during downtime. He will also serenade you for demonstrations.

He'll be annoyed if you take it without asking though. His music is a source of safety for him as much as a source of joy.

Let him teach you songs around the fire at night and serenade him in return. He won't stop smiling for ages.

Grog

Grog has had some...questionable weapons. Perhaps don't borrow Craven's Edge.

But borrowing his axe or his gauntlets is a world of fun. Even if they might not be well weighted for anyone who isn't as strong as he is.

You will quickly realize how much work goes into swinging his axe and it puts his effortless attacks into a very different light for you.

Grog laughs out loud when he sees you using his weapons, but it's full of fondness and affection.

Even if he isn't exactly academically clever, this is his skill set, he knows how to fight and he does it well. So he's a really good teacher as he corrects your stance and grip.

His teaching method also includes encouraging you to just swing at him, so you'll need a bit of courage and faith that you won't hurt him.

Pride Day 1🌈: Vax'ildan Vessar x male!reader

Summary: After a duo adventure, you take care of Vax's wounds which eventually leads to a few realizations about your feelings for your friend

The flickering light from the campfire casts shadows across the forest clearing, illuminating the weary face of your friend. He winces as you tend to the deep gash on his arm.

The battle hadn't been the nicest and both of you are exhausted by now, deeply regretting having told the others that you could totally handle it on your own.

"Hold still, Vax," you murmur, dipping a cloth into a bowl of clean water. "I need to clean this properly."

Vax chuckles softly. "I've had worse, you know. This is nothing."

You give him a stern look "I know. But that doesn't mean you get to ignore it. Let me take care of you."

He sighs, the tension in his shoulders easing a little as he allows himself to relax. "Alright, alright. You win."

You look up at his face for a moment. "Say that again."

He chuckles, shaking his head. "No chance."

As you work, the silence between you is comfortable, filled with the sounds of the night: The crackle of the fire, the distant call of an owl, the rustle of leaves in the breeze. 

You focus on the task at hand, but your thoughts are starting to drift.

"Do you ever think about the past?" you ask quietly, your voice barely above a whisper.

Vax looks at you, his eyes reflecting the firelight. "From time to time" he admits. "Why?"

You shrug, not meeting his gaze. "Just... thinking about life was before we met each other."

There was a pause, Vax being quiet for a little. "What? Already grown tired of me?" he asks in an amused tone  but there's something else in his expression too. 

You slowly finish cleaning the wound and reach for the bandages, your fingers brushing against his skin. 

He shivers slightly at the touch, and you feel a strange flutter in your chest. 

You aren't sure how to answer his question.

You have known Vax for a long time, fought beside him, shared stories and secrets. But lately, something has shifted between you. An unspoken tension, a feeling that neither of you had dared to voice.

At least until now.

"Of course not…sometimes I just wonder if it's worth it," you continue, your voice steady despite the turmoil inside. "Just after all this time…i feel like we're loosing out on so much."

Vax is silent for a moment, then he reaches out, his hand covering yours. "We're fighting for each other. For the people we care about. For a future where we don't have to lose anyone else. And…well possibly also the money."

You chuckle quietly but still don't quite feel like you're finding the right words for what you want to tell him.

You look up, meeting his gaze. 

There is something in his eyes, something that makes your heart race. You have always admired him, always respected him. 

But right now? In this quiet moment, you realize that your feelings run deeper than that.

"Vax, I..." you begin, but the words get caught in your throat.

He smiles softly, his hand reaching out to yours. "Me too."

You stare at him, surprise and relief flooding through you. You haven't even gotten the chance to finish your sentence "You do?"

He shrugs lightly. "Look, you're not exactly the most subtle person."

You feel your face heating up, hiding your face in your hands. "Shut up."

He chuckles quietly, carefully reaching out to grab your wrist, pulling it away from your face. Then, slowly, hesitantly, he leans forward. 

You meet him halfway, your lips brushing against his in a tentative kiss. It's gentle, almost fragile, but it holds a promise, a hope for something more.

When you finally pull away, Vax rests his forehead against yours, his breath mingling with yours. 

"We'll figure this out together," he whispers.

You smile, your heart feeling full. "Yes, we will."

For a moment the two of you are quiet, taking in the presence of the other without the fear of being judged in any way.

"...just so you know, you'll have to tell Vex." he mutters after a while.

Your eyes widen at the mention of your best friend and for a moment you try to think of any way in which that talk is not going to be extremely awkward.

"Fuck no."

[the-smut-mongerer]

Hey so if you have any interest or ability to, can I ask for Vax'ildan x reader x headcanons from The Legend of Vox Machina? If not thats completely okay, I'm just super obsessed with it rn :)

Sorry for taking like a whole ass month to get to this🥹 work and school is taking up a LOT of my time, also ngl i fr I watched all of season 1 and some of season 2 bc of this.

Also, if anyone's willing and able, please consider donating to my kofi! I'm trying to save up so I can pay my vet expenses for my fur babies. Thank you!

Vax loves holding hands with you, often intertwining your fingers together, swinging your hands back together as you walk.

He likes it when you brush his hair. If he's tried enough, he could fall asleep to how soothing it is to him.

If you know how to braid hair, he'd wear them with pride. Totally brags about it, too.

He likes doing things with you, whether it be hiking, swimming, cooking, sparing, and so on, as long as he's with you. He's content.

Vax is a fairly protective partner, granted yes he trusts you to take care of yourself. However, he can be a tad overprotective, especially if you're fighting monsters and such.

He is a massive cuddler. He doesn't like going asleep without you. He has no preference on what position as long as he can feel you. He's happy.

He likes going on picnics. The calmness of just relaxing and eating in an open field without worrying about fighting monsters or demons is very nice. It's a plus if you bring some wine.

When you do get together, Vex is a little tough on you. She just wants to make sure you won't hurt her brother in anyway shape or form.

He likes kissing, like a lot. Good morning, kisses? A must, random kisses during out the day? Also, yes. Doesn't mind giving you a few smooches in public either.

He is fairly good with boundaries, so if you're uncomfortable with something, make it known, and he will accommodate it with no problem.

pairings: percy de rolo x gn!reader / vax’ildan vessar x gn!reader

request: headcanons for percy & vax with touch starved gn s/o?

warnings: none, no spoilers for the campaign or show

percy de rolo:

It takes him a while to notice at first.

Percy, the gorgeously brilliant man that he is; is oblivious when it comes to being attentive to you.

His brain wanders to various different places, all the ways he can improve his inventions, but he misses the way you stutter when his hand brushes yours while explaining blueprints.

Or so you think.

He doesn’t entirely miss it. He makes a mental note of it and keeps watch for any more reactions that would help him draw a conclusion.

The answer only really hits him -quite literally- in the face when Vox Machina are fighting a mountain giant.

The giant’s club hit the ground with such force that the ledge you’re close to starts to crumble.

Percy immediately see’s what is going to happen before you even have a chance to register the club hitting the floor.

He snakes his hand around your waist and pulls you into him and away from the 500 foot drop.

His hand his strong against you. Protective. Afraid to let go.

But his heaving chest quickly calms when he sees you shyly averting his gaze and shifting in his grasp.

There were no words to describe how it felt to be in his arms, but the dopey smile on his face explained that he understood.

He uses the crook of his free hand to tilt your head up to look at him.

“Watch your step” he smiles as he lowers his mouth to meet yours.

From then on, he made sure to give you affection, even if it was a small touch to let you know he was there.

vax’ildan vessar:

Unlike Percy, Vax fully knows you crave his touch and thrives in knowing you want him.

He uses it to his advantage, purposely going out of his way to not let you touch him, always returning the interaction with a sly smirk and a knowing look in his eyes.

It’s infuriating, but it only makes you want him more.

At first you’re determined to catch up and make him pay, but the rogue is just too damn fast.

One night you almost catch his hand after dinner but he swipes it away at the last second with an ‘uh-uh’ and a wag of his finger.

He enjoys watching you start to get desperate for him.

Watching and hearing you whine and beg for his touch with your eyes.

Until you start to torture him back.

You purposely undress in front of him, knowing he won’t be the first to break, he’s too damn stubborn.

You hear his breath catch from the other side of the room and you smile inwardly knowing you have his attention.

This continues for a few nights until he finally snaps.

You don’t even get to do your nightly routine for him before he has you pinned to the bedroom wall

One hand on your cheek, the other holding your hip and his face unbearably close to your lips.

You inhale each other’s breath for a moment, then he airily chuckles “well played” and caves, kissing you passionately.

hello :) *loved* the campaign 2 hcs you did. could you right a really fluffy vax'ildan x reader? thank you very much, I love your writing :))

This one got a little angsty, apologies

Stargazing

Pairing: Vax'ildan x Reader

Warnings: Angst, Vague allusions to mortal danger

Word Count: 520

It had been a long day. A very, very long day for Vox Machina. The whole troupe was ready for a much needed rest. You, however, had decided that you needed a bit of fresh air before you settled into your room for the night.

You found a quiet way up to the roof of the inn you were staying at, finding a place to sit and watch the stars. You let yourself breathe a little easier now that you were up here. The party was fine, you were fine. Your family was safe, that's what mattered.

The beast had caught you all by surprise on your journey home. You all had faced much worse in your travels, but you were unaware this time. It might not have been too dangerous a creature but your unpreparedness was the thing's greatest weapon. You don't know what would have happened if Pike wasn't...

Breathe. It's okay. You're okay.

You look back up, watching the stars as they pass by.

"There you are." Vax'ildan's voice catches you by surprise and you nearly fall forward, if it was not for his speed. "Woah! Woah. Don't worry, you're okay. I've got you."

"Vax! You can't sneak up on me like that!"

"Well, it seems like I can."

"You know what I mean" you huff.

"Yeah, I know. Sorry" he says sheepishly as he helps you back into your previous seating position.

He sits down quietly beside you, looking up at the stars. Then nervously back at you. Lucky for him, you are more focused on breathing and staring at the sky to notice.

Finally, when he finds his words again, he softly says, "You know I was worried about you... You've been quiet all day."

"I wonder why" you respond.

"I'm really glad Pike was here" he says next. It is clear by his tone of voice that he has no idea how to navigate the conversation he's started. It's sweet that he's trying to help but he's not doing that great a job of it. But you can't blame him, who could? What can you possibly say to your love on a day you almost lost them? You imagine yourself being much the same if your positions were reversed.

"Another debt to add to her pile" you joke, though it doesn't really sound like one. Vax chuckles softly anyway.

Vax reaches forward and holds your hand, soft smile playing on his face. "Thank you," he says.

"For what?"

He kisses your hand, "For sharing this moment, and many others with me." He moves your hand, holding it over his chest. You can faintly feel his heartbeat through it. "I love you" he says.

You smile, leaning over to rest you head on his shoulder. The two of you spend another hour like that, just enjoying each other's company, enjoying the fact that the both of you are still there, and watching the night sky.

Eventually you fall asleep and Vax makes sure he gets you safely in a bed, snuggling in after you. You were okay, he was okay. Everything was as it should be.

will find subtle ways to baby you pats on your head, finding you little things to keep you occupied, nicknames, forehead kisses, doing tasks for you that he thinks youre "too little for"

vex will catch on and ask but he'll hush her then pull her aside and explain later and she'll tease you both. she'll find it adorable how he cares for you and keep most of it to herself, if he's unable to be there for you she's the next best stand in for a carer at the moment.

he'll give you all the little nicknames he can think of usually bird related like "little feather/wing" or "little (bird name)" will likely call you "my little bird" or "my little raven" a few times but normally not near the others

cuddles whenever you guys get a break together will snuggle you if you ask at night when he's not on watch or if he's got watch and youre still up he'll offer to hold you till you fall asleep he feels he can protect you if he's closer to you that way

once he gets wings, you start collecting some of the feathers that fall when they appear/he flies and he finds it adorable even tries collecting some of them for you might make a necklace and tie some up or use one for a charm you get to wear a necklace with raven feathers from his wings theyre very soft and pretty and he loves the smile on your face when you play with the feathers
