Perc'ildan is a minor slash ship from the first campaign of Critical Role, between Percy de Rolo (portrayed by Taliesin Jaffe) and Vax'ildan (portrayed by Liam O'Brien).
LIAM: And I grab Percy around the neck and kisshim on the cheek, and say, “Let’s get out of here,"you bastard.”TALIESIN: Do I get an inspiration point for that?
MATT: No.
LAURA: That’s a double standard.
TALIESIN: You know how I feel about you.
LIAM: Fight the patriarchy.
MATT: Down the road, maybe. This is the start of something beautiful.
TALIESIN: I’m feeling something new.
MATT: Let the seeds germinate for a while. Then the dice may come naturally.[1]
Fandom
The pairing was initially popular early in C1, but fell to the side with the introduction of canon pairings featuring Vax and Percy. It experienced a revival following The Legend of Vox Machina, where it is tied with Vax/Keyleth for the second most popular ship as of May 3rd, 2025.
Common Tropes and Themes
- Briarwoods - stories focused on both characters interaction with Delilah and Sylas Briarwood, with AU takes on Vax being hypnotised by Sylas for longer than in canon, including darker takes on the Briarwoods arc, being manipulated into hurting the other, and fics where one or both becoming vampires. This trope became especially popular after LoVM S1 dropped.
- "Freddie" - Vax is the only character to call Percy "Freddie" after his middle name
- Hatesex - Vax and Percy had a contentious relationship while both blamed each other for Vex'ahlia's death, resulting in angstier takes on their relationship
