    Summary

    Not for the first time, Keyleth finds herself envying Gilmore. Not for the reason everyone assumes, of course. Neither of them are insecure in their relationship with Vax in the slightest, and haven't been since they began their strange, three-person relationship. Vax loves them both, they both love Vax. Simple as that.

    Gods, though, the way Gilmore can charm the shit out of even inanimate objects makes ugly jealousy swirl in Keyleth's chest. Why can't she do that?

    Summary

    Vax does not tell him the real reason, of course, because he cannot slide into someone's bed and someone's heart and kiss him and then tell him he's in love with someone else. He is not capable of such cruelty. This is a complication that can wait until the morning, that can wait until Keyleth smiles at him again, that can wait until all four dragons are dead and left to smoulder. Then, it can join the cavern of other complications he is mining.

     

    Canon Divergence after C1E34.

    Renamed from "so can we pretend, sweetly, before the mystery ends".
