Piper/Alex (aka Vauseman) is a femslash pairing in the Orange Is the New Black fandom.

Canon

Piper and Alex met in a bar, around 10 years before the present day in prison. Piper claims she is straight but Alex manages to convince her to stay the night at her place, however they are interrupted by Alex's current girlfriend. Piper spends some time being mad at Alex but the pair eventually end up back together. Piper and Alex are happy together for awhile but Piper eventually gets caught up in the drug ring that Alex works for, Alex asks her to carry a suitcase of drug money once and Piper agrees but years later Alex names her at the trial because she is resentful of how their relationship ended. This is what landed Piper in prison.[1]

Fandom

Vauseman are a relatively well known pairing in the wider femslash and sapphic fandoms, even amongst those who haven't seen Orange is the New Black.

Popular tropes and fanon
