Summary
"Vex’ahlia and Vax’ildan can’t remember a time when they were static; they’ve always been in-between. Not quite elf or human, not quite one person or two, not quite male or female. "
A character study of a genderfluid Vex and Vax and how that might change the story.

Summary
Two names appear on the wrists of every person in Exandria in their teenage years; the names of the people to whom their soul is bound. People define these ties differently- as the person that breaks you and the person that saves you, as your truest love and your deepest hate, as the person that hurts you the most deeply and the person that heals you the most.
However you choose to describe them, no-one is born knowing which name is which, and that’s where Vox Machina come in.

Summary
Six years before a group of adventurers descends into the Underdark, the third child of a lord in a small northern city meets a rogue with a brand on his back.
There’s this boy.
No, this man (just like Percy, who recently turned 19). He’s probably about Percy’s age, maybe a little older, but he runs with the Clasp. Percy only knows a few things for certain about Vax’ildan: he’s good with daggers. He’s got a twin sister. He’s fast as lightning when he wants to be, good at fading away into the shadows, too.
He’s a thief, and probably an assassin to boot.
And he’s easily the most beautiful person Percy’s ever seen.

Summary
“We could get a bed for the night,” Nott suggests through a mouthful of food, her mood lightened by their good luck and the last of her flask. “A nice place, somewhere without bugs.”
Caleb’s furrowed brow, concentrated on counting out the whole pouch of coins in his lap, relaxes a little at the suggestion. “Yes,” he says softly. “We could certainly do that.”

Summary
A skittish goblin rogue is thrown into prison with a disheveled human wizard. The rest is history…
~~~
I’m rewatching C2 and feel soft for early Nott and Caleb. So I wrote my version of their first meeting, and the time they spent before they met the rest of the M9. This story takes place before the stream, but I use the knowledge about their backstory I learned through watching all of C2 (right now up to C1E122) so there will be plenty of spoilers about their history.

Summary
The guard smiles genially at his captive audience. "Sometimes people pay a little fee in advance, so they aren’t here in the morning.”
“We haven’t got any money,” Caleb says, which, though not strictly true, might as well be; the few silver and copper pieces they have tucked away in various pockets would make for a miserable attempt at a bribe.
The guard advances a little closer. “There’s other ways to pay a fee.”
In which Nott and Caleb put on a show.
