    Summary

    Vex laughed. "I want my soulmate to introduce themselves to me eighty three years, seven months and twelve days after I drew my first breath and not a day before. I want to meet them that day, buy them a drink and tell them, 'Hi. Let me tell you all about this wonderful life that I've had. And then you'll tell me about yours. And after we're done, we'll each go back to our amazing lives'.”

    Or: In Exandria, there are as many types of soulmates as there are gods. There’s magic. Secrets. A quest for vengeance. And - in the center of all of that - two beating hearts.

    DISCONTINUED - but in the last chapter there's a fairly detailed summary of the story until what was meant to be the end of the fic

    Summary

    At 18, Bertha Kelly is hot-tempered, headstrong, and far too clever for her own good. One of twelve children, she's sick of her life as the daughter of Famine Irish immigrants in Kansas -- she wants more, and she's determined to get it.

    A trip to visit wealthier relations in Cincinnati gives her a taste of the life she knows she was born to lead; and she swears then and there that she's never going back. When she meets arrogant, ambitious, infuriatingly handsome George Russell, she can't stand him. She also can't stop thinking about him.

    Turns out the feeling is mutual.

    ***
    Or, the George and Bertha origin story you know you want, featuring a rough-around-the-edges teenage Bertha; a dumb, cocky George who hasn't quite figured out how to charm women; and the big dreams (and big egos) that bring them together (and sometimes push them apart).

    Summary

    Essek had a problem. A human shaped, red haired, annoyingly sharp problem that had been tormenting him ever since Caleb had become a grad student at the Marble Tomes Conservatory.

    His solution to that problem, in hindsight, had been incredibly foolish. But how was he to know that after hours of searching the internet for the perfect video that he could take himself in hand to, letting himself imagine that he was the lavender skinned tiefling between the anonymous pale thighs — he would meet Mollymauk in all his ostentatious glory the next evening, wrapped around Caleb’s shoulders.

    What follows is Essek’s slow descent into the chaos that is the Mighty Nein’s friend group, and the tangle of feelings that comes from having a crush on your brightest student who you have watched be thoroughly railed by a very very pretty tiefling online.

    Or; A Professor, a Prodigy, and a Pornstar walk into a bar …

    Summary

    It was supposed to be simple: send Thelyss the picture he took and then move on from the encounter- no change.

    Or the one where photographer Bren only ever captures things, but ballet dancer Essek makes him want to forget about his own rule and take the shot.

    Summary

    “Hello there,” Vex greeted as she waltzed into the cell, “I’m Captain Vex’ahlia of the Vox Machina, and we’ve just seized this vessel here for stolen property belonging to the crown of Emon. Now, seeing as we’ve found you as a prisoner on this ship, I suppose that makes you the enemy of my enemy. So I’m going to ask this once; to us, are you friend or foe?”
