Insisting on Love by hiddeneloise
Picks up a few weeks after the events of the last episode of the show. The roller-coaster that is Logan and Veronica. Sometimes you need to get off the ride and stop spinning in order to appreciate the high.

oo the PercyVex soulmate AU! always love seeing twists on soulmates
So, Critical Role was the first fandom I got into that made me give a damn about shipping, because Percy and Vex are such fantastic characters and their romance is great. They gel so well, even from relatively early on, Percy's respect for Vex, and Vex's willingness to turn to Percy for certain things where usually she'd only trust her brother. It's tasty!
And fandom, being fandom, loves adding in angst, so there was this idea of a Soulmate AU where Soulmates share pain - which is especially crunchy because Percy was canonically tortured. This is also a D&D world with actual souls and demons and devils and soul coins and shit, and also I am a nerd who loves to worldbuild so I elaborated on the concept: soulbonds start forming during puberty and share pain by default but they take two years or so to fully form, after which they can share emotions, bondmates can hide pain and emotions etc.. Bonds can be severed and new ones can be made and bonds are broadly seen as a gift from the goddess of fate. Demon deals and devilish contracts block soulbonds because both of those entities feed on the energy of souls, and warlock pacts effectively take the place of soulbonds, which is part of why warlocks get a bit of side-eye vs clerics and paladins and their kind of devotion. There's a whole bunch of other things like cultural views on soulbonds and different D&D races having varying kinds of soulbonds and their own explanations for those, but ANYWAY:
Everyone has soulbonds and this is fine. This is a given, you get little snippets from them and learn your soulmate through the pains they suffer and the emotions you both share - you learn to empathise and/or experience compassion for them. Again, part of why it's seen as a godly gift: it's the gods' way of helping people connect to each other.
Then the Briarwoods come, murder Percy's whole family, let Dr Ripley torture him and everything is hell. When Percy comes back to himself two years later, having escaped and made a gun with which to take his revenge, his bond is gone. He assumes his bondmate cut it. He doesn't remember when this might have happened, and he's sure he felt something from his bond as he escaped but the bond wasn't two years old at that point so he was probably just out of it and imagining things. It's fine! It's fine. He doesn't feel abandoned by his soulmate, definitely not. It's fine.
Meanwhile, on Vex's end, she felt her soulmate experience a week straight of torture, then vague nothingness and then two years later they fucking died, as far as she could tell, choking to death on smoke. Meanwhile her twin brother gets two bonds (Fatetouched tend to tangle more easily with others and thus tend to develop more bonds, it's unusual but not unheard of) and hers is.
Hers is dead.
They're both fine. Definitely. Honest.
And then they meet! And they're the only people in their group without bonds - and what's more, most of the group has bonds amongst themselves, which they all interpret in a variety of ways (one of the party gnomes and the party goliath have a bond; goliath barbarian culture specifically sees soulbonds as a "brothers in arms" in situation, so that's how Pike and Grog handle their bond! Dragonborn have "teaching" bonds, which change to new people as they grow and learn, so that's the flavour of Tiberius and Keyleth's bond. Etc.), so Percy and Vex, all alone, set up No Soulmates Club - they check on each other after fights, they provide the emotional support and reassurance the others get from their bonds and it's fine. It's close enough. Definitely. Everything is fine.
Anyway, I'm sure you see where this is all going. There's several flavours of clusterfuck in this fic and it brings me such joy and what's the best bit is that even finding out the truth of the whole sitch doesn't fix things.
Anyway, some of this fic is posted on AO3 over Here, I am still working on it I promise, BG3 just swallowed me whole, but here, have a snip of the chapter I'm working on:
Percy sighs, rubbing his chin. “Another problem on the horizon for us to brace ourselves for,” he says. “And- I’m sorry dear, they’re going to be so much worse about bondless given Krieg…” Fuck. They are, aren’t they? A soulbond is as effective a method of identification as anything else, and now the one, well-known, well-regarded bondless has proven to actually be a dragon, a secret, chromatic dragon at that… it’s all anyone’s going to be able to gossip about, how bondless might be demons or dragons in disguise, and how even if not, well just look at Fince, so easily used as he longed for his lost bond… “It’s terribly unfair,” Percy says. “Hopefully with our efforts to help, it might net us some leeway-” “But we’ll be exceptions,” she says. It’s easy enough to understand. “Every other bondless…” And some of them, too, might have never had bonds form, or like Percy had it broken against their wishes, or like her lost them to death - those who willfully break bonds are rare, and with everything- it can’t mean something when someone has no bond, can’t mean they’re abandoned by the gods like some say. Even if they were - it doesn’t stop people from treating every other case the same, or ignoring that they can’t know why a bond never formed- “Vex,” Percy says. “One problem at a time. If we do this-” If they do this and succeed, they’ll have standing. If they have standing, they can make changes. Hopefully - maybe - no one else will suffer their losses. No one else will be manipulated by a lost bond, or doubted for never having one. It’s a nice idea. Vex can’t help but doubt it.
Sure. I’ll bite, @fickledame Thanks for the tag.
Post the last thing you’ve written and then tag the same number of people as your own word count.
From an update for a VM fic:
Self-deprecating humor is a total Dad move, but I'm leaning in.
From my not so fic writing:
When I go, I won’t join them
I will dust the mountains
And dream forever
Of the prairie plains
Is anyone still out here in Tumblr land?
Let’s try @the-og-mkt @kmd0107 @nicemom93 @marshmellowbobcat @chikabiddy @cubbiegirl @cattyk8fic
you know who i am. you know what i want. i want vox machina. vex/percy.
please. i beg. my palms are open <3
you ask, I deliver
pairing: vex/percy, from Vox Machina (critical role campaign 1)
He’s alive, he’s alive, he’s alive, chants the voice in her head. Percy is here, alive, and Vex is so happy her heart could burst. She knows she needs to repeat her words from the ritual to him, needs to make sure he hears them, consciously this time, so he knows how important he is to her. That he has a reason to live, to stay alive, and not be so reckless with himself. She has to make sure that Percival Frederickstein von Mussel Klossowski de Rolo III knows that she, Vex’ahlia, loves him with everything in her.
send me five sentence fic prompts!
Rafe watching you train
Pure fluff
He loves nothing more than watching You do what you love.
He can’t understand the amount of work and dedication you have.
You would warm up with him off the ice.
You would teach him all the different warmups.
Then you would actually skate.
Pulling out his phone to video everything so he can show Sarah and Wheezie because he knows they’ll want to see.
“Y/n…..can you teach me how to spin?”
*the two spend the next 20 minutes getting skates on Rafe*
Rafe : *steps on ice and immediately falls*
You then teach him how to fall.
Eventually you both realize that Rafe isn’t meant for ice dancing.
Literally a hype man
Scott lowkey gets a tiny bit annoyed cause he’s loud.
But it’s fine cause you can concentrate.
“Yo that was sick y/n!.”
“I like the twirly thing you did.”
“The……double axel?.”
“Yeah, super cool babe”
He literally admires Scott so much.
He thinks it’s the cutest thing that you, Scott and Tessa all share your love for the sport,
And that Scott coaches you.
He thinks that Scott is a great coach.
You and Rafe like to FaceTime Sarah in your breaks.
“Girl that double axel, you slapped.” Sarah Cameron.
He would freak every time you fell.
Scott wouldn’t though, cause he would be able to tell if you were hurt.
He and Scott often have to force you off the rink at the end of your training session.
“I- no please noooooo.”
“Future olympians need rest babe.”
“I won’t be a future Olympian if you won’t let me train.”
“You’ve been here for 9 hours!.”
“Rafe, please take her to a party or something.”
“Wha- nO I hate parties.”
“You’ll have fun I swear.”
Rafe loves it when you falls asleep on the way back home.
It’s always a nap though,
Cause you always do some cool down exercises.
“I like the fancy jumps you did today.”
“Aw thank you Rafe!”
You both always loved watched a rom com to unwind.
“Sarah showed the twirly thing to the pogues today. They all say that you’re Olympic ready.”
“Well I don’t know about that Rafe.”
“I can’t wait to see you win gold.”
Rom com then finishes.
*both of you watch Scott and Tessa’s 2018 Olympic dance because you love any excuse to laugh at them and poor Rafe genuinely thinks it’s amazing*
Eventually you are forced to bed
And Rafe goes home.
And you do it all again the next week.
