Summary
"You can wet the rim of a glass and run your finger around the rim and it will make a sound. This is what I feel like: this sound of glass.” -Margaret Atwood
(Suddenly, breaking the world for the one you love doesn't seem so mad. It seems like the first step on an endless list.)

Summary
It all starts because of Keyleth: Keyleth, who turns his apartment into a greenhouse within a month of knowing him despite his antisocial demeanor; Keyleth, who gathers up his awards show after-party invitations and plans out their itinerary like a travel agent; Keyleth, who walks up to her favorite band sitting at a bar and says, Hey, I love your music.
But fame isn't quite so bad, Percy says to Vex with a smile, if it introduced him to someone like her.

Summary
He doesn’t know why he calls Vex. He barely sees the numbers as his fingers skitter across the screen. The light of his phone makes his eyes ache. There’s a tremor in his thumbs and he punches in one zero too many.
“Percy it’s four am- whatever is the matter?”Her voice is sharp with annoyance or worry and gravelly with sleep. He tries to breathe but someone has filled his lungs with lead.
“Cassandra is alive. Vex'ahlia - “ he thinks he imagines the catch in her breath “- Vex'ahlia, my sister is alive.”

Alternatively, Percy only tells one person about his plan to cross state lines to find his estranged sister, but five other people tag along anyways.
–
Alternatively, everyone knows that Percy has friends who love him except for Percy.Bookmarked by m4cbethz

Summary
Vex’ahlia and her brother hunt monsters for gold.
Percy, a vampire, has a bounty on his head.
Vex is very good with a bow.
———
Vex slowly draws her bow as she hears the sound of quick and uneven footfalls far off on dry forest floor.
She sees the creature she’s hunting at a distance. It’s dark enough that the world is melting into darkvision monochrome, but she can see that the monster wears a coat, that it’s in a terrible hurry, and that it’s limping.
Vampires generally aren’t known for holding onto wounds. It was injured in the last minute or so—Vex isn’t the only one after the bounty.
Vex nocks a holy arrow. She should take it out quick, one shot, so she doesn’t need to rush in with a silver dagger and make things messy. She’s so much better with a bow.

I blinked and suddenly I had a Valentine by CrazySmith

Summary
"And just like that, all the giddiness faded, as if her heart had been whacked by a fly swatter and sent careening towards the floor. In its place settled the truth and an awkward tension that had infected Vex for weeks.
Tonight was simply Percy’s way of thanking her.
This was not a date. No matter how much Vex’ahlia wished it was."
After figuring out her feelings in a life-and-death situation, Vex'ahlia doesn't wish to get her hopes up and tries to come to terms with her relationship with Percy. The idea that they could only ever be friends and nothing more did hurt, but she could live with it.
It's hard though, to not feel hopeful, when the man in question asks her out to dinner on fucking Valentine's Day! Will Vex accept the reality of their circumstance, or is there more brewing beneath the surface between them?

Summary
Imogen tucked her hair behind an ear as her apprehension grew. Laudna often remarked at her beauty, at the prettiness of her scars and the ease in which Imogen wielded her power. However, Imogen only saw her mother. Only saw that which made her like Liliana.
It only proved how sometimes the most beautiful things could be poisonous.She pressed a hand to her mouth and then looked up at Lady de Rolo. “Do you know anythin’ about despisin’ your family? About bein’ ashamed of who your parent is? About wantin’ nothin’ to do with their name?”
A shadow passed over Lady Vex’ahlia’s eyes. She was quiet for a moment before she said, “I know exactly what that is like.”...
When Bells Hells are in Whitestone during 3x76, Imogen wanders into the Greyfields away from her tether, from Laudna, and she begins to spiral thinking about the Solstice, her mother, Ludinus, and what all of it means. A conversation with Lady Vex’ahlia de Rolo helps Imogen ground herself, but perhaps Vex hadn’t appeared solely for a comforting conversation.

Not willing to let the murder of her mother go unanswered, Vex decides to rally the support of a group of misfit outlaws in the woods, as well as the secret support of a mysterious nobleman to become the most infamous outlaw in Tal'dorei with one goal: To bring down the Chroma Conclave.

Summary
“So: how much time did you buy us, before we sneak into your super-secret lab? Enough for introductions?”
He grins, wry. “Just.”
She takes his hand with a dramatic shake, delighted by the levity. “Vex’ahlia. Lovely to meet you…”
“Percival Fredrickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo the third.”
Vex’ahlia laughs. “Sure! I’ll pretend I’ll remember that.”--
Percival de Rolo, father of aeormatons and enchantment engineer of Aeor, finds himself with one last person on his list. He might be just the man Vex'ahlia needs for her blasphemous hope: to strip her brother of godhood.
The Age of Arcanum has bountiful power to offer, little in the ways of gospel or morality.

Summary
If you were to ask Percy, love was waking up in the late hours of the morning to the smell of freshly made coffee and freshly cooked breakfast, knowing that Vex always rose with the sun and let him sleep in a bit while she went with Trinket for his morning walk. It was also learning to cook Vex’s favorite meals so he could return the favor.
If you were to ask Vex, love was Percy making her laugh with his unbelievably bad puns, especially when she was stressed. It was also doing her best to come up with even worse ones just to see the smile on his face.
