Could you write some headcannons about Vox Machina finding out their Oath of Redemption Paladin S/O used to be a Bhaal worshiper?

Tw's - SPOILERS, mentions of death, being assigned to unalived a child, betrayal, I'm going all out on this one so beware of a lot of death and unaliving people so that's just a general thing here 🧍, mentions of manipulation, a power corrupted priest, lots of unaliving words, kinda rushed at the end but I'll probably rewrite it later 😭

Type - Head canons technically but they're basically bullet pointed stories 🥲

Genre - Angst with comfort

Comments - THE FIRST VOX MACHINA ASK 💞💞 Of course nonnie 🥹 Let the research commence✨ From my research is that the S/O will be somewhat like Pike except that they will avoid actually unaliving people unless absolutely necessary, so this'll be interesting~ Let's just say that your secret was revealed while Vox Machina spoke with Osysa in season 2. Also, after realizing just how long Percy's was, I decided to split them all up-

Devil worshipper, or redemption seeker?

Pervical

- Percy has his own secrets, everyone knows this. But he shares almost everything with you because, and only because you're his partner

- And he wants you to share your secrets with him, as long as you're comfortable with sharing.

- Your darkest secret, the one you planned on taking to your grave was revealed by the Sphinx, Osysa.

- You could do nothing as she saw through you, to the deepest darkest parts of your soul when you once worshipped Bhaal and was willing to do as he said without hesitation

- She announced this to all of your friends, the people you cared deeply about and never wanted them to know about your past, but Osysa had to ruin that, didn’t she?

- Percy was still trying to wrap around was Osysa said to him before he questioned what she said to you, not fully believing what Osysa said, but knew she wasn’t lying when he saw that petrified look on your face.

- He felt betrayed, hurt, unsure of who exactly he fell in love with, who he’s shared his deepest secrets with, you were once a devil worshipper..? And a killer.?

- He didn't want to believe it, you were the kindest person in their band of misfits, the first one to try and deescalate a bar fight, the one to bandage anyone injured after said bar fight, hell you even try to negotiate with enemies even though you knew how badly it would end.

- So how could you, of all people, have worshipped Bhaal at some point in your life? He wanted to ask so many questions, but he was overcome by betrayal and slight anger that he just remained silent, the voices of his friends talking to Osysa melting together into a mind numbing buzz as he thought about the many reasons you might've kept this to yourself.

- Eventually, after entering the underwater tomb he asked to speak to you alone, and for you to come clean about your past. And you did You explained how you were once an assassin, a killer, a heartless monster who only wanted to worship a god who was corrupt, and the day you finally left that cult.

- You were told by one of the priests that Bhaal wanted an innocent child taken care of. They were supposedly a "god killing" child, and was a threat to Bhaal's life. However, that wasn't the truth at all. You were suspicious due to the target being a child, so you decided to eavesdrop on a private conversation of the priest and one of the other devout followers and learned the truth.

- The priest had committed an act of adultery and wanted the bastard child out of the picture, all because it would ruin their reputation and status. Normally, you wouldn't have cared in any other situation, you had been assigned to kill parents, grandparents, why was a bastard child no one wanted different?

- You didn't know, nor did you care, but the only thing you knew in that moment as you stood there listening to the priest laugh about the child was that all you could see was red.

- Everything was a blur after that, but when you refocused, there was blood everywhere, and so.. so many lifeless bodies around.. all you could do was fall to your knees with shakey hands, and sob.

- You stayed there sobbing on your knees for around an hour before collecting yourself, and walking out of the bloodied temple in your equally bloodied clothes. You didn't know where you were going, but you knew you wanted to get as far away from the bloodshed you caused and quickly.

- After travelling aimlessly for a few days, you came across a small and cozy home. You hadn't eaten for days, only stopping briefly to rest because it had become too hard to walk, just to wake up in a cold sweat after having a nightmare, but you reluctantly walked up to the cabin and knocked on the door softly, but hard enough for whoever was inside to hear you.

- The door opened after a small feminine voice yelled back “Be right there!” Followed by small thumps, the door opened to reveal a tabaxi. She was patterned like a snow leopard and had the kindest smile on her face as she gave you a once over, that smile turning into a look of concern. "A-are you hurt? Come inside, let me check you for any injuries." You didn't even have a chance to say anything as she grabbed your hand and pulled you inside, making you sit at what you would guess was her kitchen table.

- "I'm gonna go grab some bandages and healing ointments just in case, stay right there, I wouldn't want you to make your injuries any worse." You were.. stunned to say the least. She had taken one look at you and wanted to help, she didn't care if you were a stranger who could take advantage of her kindness, she just saw blood and felt the need to help you, even though it wasn't yours...

- She quickly came back with 3 rolls of bandages and a couple bottles of ointments, setting them down before turning towards you with a soft expression on her face. "I got the bandages and ointments, now, I need to check your for any wounds or injuries.." You knew what she was implying, but you didn't want to, and it showed with your conflicted expression.

- She thought originally that you were either uncomfortable with taking off your shirt or just embarrassed at the thought, but after thinking for a bit longer, she realized that you weren't holding any of your limbs to stop them from bleeding, nor were you hunched over in pain..

- Then the thought that this wasn't your blood crossed her mind. She took a small step back, her ears folding downwards as her tail flicks slightly. "T-this.. isn't your blood, is it..?" She asked very carefully, preparing herself to run should you try and attack her, but all she was met with was sobs coming from you.

- She immediately went to calm you down, and once you did, you told her your story. She was shocked to say the least, but she didn't judge you. You were blindly following a god, not that it excuses you for killing people. All you wanted to do was please your god, like many others have done in the past.

- Once you finished, she pulled up another chair from the dining table to sit and think, and it was just for a minute, but that minute felt like hours, all you could hear was the thumping of your heartbeat in your ears. After what felt like ages, she finally said something. "I'm sorry you went through all of this. You never deserved to be manipulated, to carry out the wishes for a supposed god, only to be carrying out the sins of a corrupted priest."

- She took a deep breath after her small rant, then continued. "I know how to help you with your guilt, and how to relieve you if your sins, but it is a long and harsh path. I would know, I've taken it myself." She gave you that same soft smile from before, with eyes that understood the guilt you burdened yourself with. You gave her a questioning look, silently asking her to continue, and so she did.

- "It's called the path of redemption, it is a very harsh like I said before, but well worth it in the end. So, what say you? Do you wish to accept my help?" She held a hand out to you, one so inviting and kind that it would almost be cruel to refuse. So you took it, wanting to feel your sins lifted off of your back.

- After you took her hand, she gave you a delicious meal and bed, as well as a change of clean clothes for when you finished. "Tomorrow, we will start your training." You spent the next few years learning to forgive yourself, to learn how to help convince people to change their ways and join you on this path of redemption through words and not violence. Only engaging when absolutely necessary, and even then you were only to subdue them or restrain them.

- You looked up at the sky as you finished your story, not daring to look at Percy out of fear that you'll see a look of anger, rage, disgust. But he wasn't looking at you with disgust, rage, anger. He was looking at you with a look of sadness, understanding, and compassion.

- Sadness because he hated how you were nearly manipulated into dispatching a god killing child, understanding because he knows how it is to be manipulated, and compassion because he knew you had gone through so much in less than 24 hours and even tried changing yourself for the better, and even succeeded at it. Others would've cracked under the pressure of the training you went under and never would've redeemed themselves.

- Neither of you spoke, the only sounds that could be heard were the sounds of the forest and your group of friends laughing and bantering by a crackling fire. You could feel your anxiety rise as you looked up at the dark sky, your mind racing as Percy just sat there in an uncomfortable silence.

- You were snapped out of your thoughts when Percy pulled you into a side hug, placing a hand on your head to lay it on his shoulder then started to lightly his fingers through your hair. You teared up slightly from the affection, not expecting it in the slightest after you had told Percy about the deepest darkest parts of your life.

- He knew you were a killer in the past, but he also knew that you had changed immensely since then. He didn't hate you for keeping this from him, the furthest thing from that. He understood why you kept it a secret, and promised that he wouldn't reveal your past to the rest of your friends until you were ready to.

- Eventually, the both of you returned to your group of friends who were bantering with one another. It was comforting, hearing them bickering amongst themselves.

- One day you'll tell them, and whether they choose to continue being your friend is up to them. But, you have a feeling that they won't care too much and will continue being your friends no matter what.

≪•◦ Percival Selkis ◦•≫

"We're all pretty messed up. Some of us are just better at hiding it, That's it." - Percival Selkis to the new fifth-year

Percival Selkis(b. 1874/1875) was a pure-blood wizard and a member of the House of Selkis. He was a Slytherin student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1885 into the 1890s. Despite being the only son of a dark wizard family, He no longer practiced the dark arts shortly after joining Hogwarts.

Name: Percival Selkis Nicknames: Percy (Only allows Sebastian and Ominis to call him this.) Blood status: Pure-blood Nationality: British Species: Human Gender: Male (He/Him) Hair Color: (Naturally) Dark Brown with Gray (Dyed) Blue Eye Color: Green Wand: Cypress wood, Dragon core, 12 1/2'' inches House: Slytherin Family Members: Unnamed Father, Unnamed Mother, Younger sisters. The House of Selkis: was a pure-blood wizard family, and one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. They were considered "Guard dogs" of the twenty-eight. They are a family of dark wizards who's tradition lied in that the founder(Hector Selkis) of their family turned himself into an immortal large white wolf who shows up every 3rd full moon. The Selkis family would bring their children at the age of 10 to be bit by the wolf. The bite would give the children a small amount of Hector Selkis's powers causing the children to be naturals at the dark arts. Some children could possible get sick and die if they were too weak. Every bite would heal into a mark that looks like a tattoo.

Hector Selkis: was close friends with Salazar Slytherin and was his body guard in a way. He used his large wolf form to maul people and muggles. *This family can't speak Parseltongue*

Biography "That is because father is incapable of human emotion. You are 10... Cry if you feel like it." - Percival Selkis

Percival was the first child of his family to survive the wolf bite. His older sister had died of illness upon getting the bite. Years later His younger sister was mauled by the wolves infront of his eyes. Percival's fate in his family was fading, He lost two sisters and his parents seemed unaffected by it. It was all about tradition to them. It wasn't until Percival went to Hogwarts in his second year did his family have another baby. Hogwarts

Percival was a natural at the dark arts at a young age and even at Hogwarts he practiced in secret. He snuck out every night to practice alone; Only Sebastian Swallow knew about this. This stopped when Ominis Gaunt opened up and told Percival what the dark arts had done to him. Ominis had gazed his fingers against the tattoo on Percival's arm and at that moment Percival stopped anything related to the dark arts. He believed this was the world telling him that he should protect Ominis.

Percival had become good friends with Sebastian, Anne and Ominis in his first year. Sebastian had given Percival the nickname "Percy". He hated it but once both Anne and Ominis said they liked it. He decided it was fine but only they could call him that.

Percival on the surface could seem like a jerk. He being the one who started "Puffskein Dunkein". He was mischievous and liked pranking other people and willing to do things that interest him even if they are against the rules. This made him and Sebastian great friends and known trouble makers. Sebastian getting caught alot more than him. His good grades also got him out of alot of trouble.

Percival had joined the Quidditch team, He was the team's seeker. He was one of the best in Hogwarts because he would do anything to win the game including breaking bones which he did alot. Fifth year (CW: Spoilers for Hogwarts Legacy)

It was in his fifth year that he became more acquainted to a new student who had joined late in their fifth year due to their ability to see and use ancient magic. Pervical started becoming frustrated with the new student and his old friend Sebastian as they tried to pull Ominis back into the dark arts which made him uncomfortable due to his past with the dark arts.

Ominis was pressured into exploring Slytherin's Scriptorium under Sebastian's promise that it would be their last encounter into Dark Magic. Percival insisted that he joined to protect Ominis and Sebastian if needed. Percival tired to protect Ominis as much as he could but couldn't stop his distress or the trauma of coming face-to-face with the bones of his late aunt Noctua. This trip just caused Percival to become angry with his friend. He understood why he was doing this but just like how Sebastian cared for Anne and helped to help her, Percival HAD to take care and protect Ominis.

Sebastian did not stop his journey into the Dark Arts; by the winter of 1890 He needed to speak to Hector Selkis who protected many secrets kept by Slytherin. Sebastian convinced Percival to help them and take them to the wolf on the 3rd full moon. Percival took the two to a clearing in the woods that was north of Hogwarts. This was were the Selkis would bring children to be bit by the wolf. Percival is able to summon the Wolf of Hector Selkis with his tattoo on his left forearm. The Wolf of Hector Selkis remembers Percival including his two sisters. The Wolf of Hector Selkis conjures illusions of Percival's dead sisters causing Percival to double over and throw up on the ground. Sebastian and the new student were able to speak with The Wolf of Hector to find out Slytherin's hidden room. Sebastian ended up carrying Percival back to Hogwarts and got into another argument with Ominis when he finds out.

Later that year, Percival followed Ominis to Feldcroft catacombs, as Sebastian used the relic to summon Inferi. Solomon Sallow had sworn to alert Headmaster Phineas Nigellus Black the next time Sebastian used dark magic, so Ominis and Percival ran to the Headmaster to tell him that the event was simply an exaggerated argument. In their absence, Sebastian murdered Solomon, which convinced Ominis that he could no longer stand by and watch his friend's descent into darkness, and that it was time to turn Sebastian in which Percival begged Ominis not to. Percival knew what happened to ones who were charged with using the dark arts. He knew Ominis was right but he also wanted to protect Sebastian and help him before turning against him.

*This is where everything is kinda fuzzy on what happens alot of "Possibly" this happened*

Percival was able to stop Ominis from telling the headmaster about Sebastian using the dark arts. Ominis says alot of harsh words out of frustration with Percival. This hurts Percival but didn't stop him from doing what he thought was right. Percival informed him at the memorial ceremony for Eleazar Fig that it had been Victor Rookwood that cursed Anne Sallow, not the goblins as they had originally believed. Percival informed both Anne and Sebastian as well. Things were very strained between the three boys for a long time.

Trivia

Percival has nightmares very often and can be found in the common room late at night looking out the windows for "Mermaids"

Percival has a big sweet tooth and likes to sneak candies into Hogwarts to share with Anne, Sebastian and Ominis

He carries around a Pocket watch with the Selkis family logo and inside the watch there is a picture of Ominis.

Ominis is unaware but Sebastian knows and does alot of "Whats that in your watch, Percy?" "When are you going to tell him?" "Why hide it?"

Percival is also friends with Poppy Sweeting. Percival can bond with wolves which Poppy loves seeing. They bond over beasts alot; Big believer that Percival is the only good Slytherin (+ The new student if they are Slytherin too)

Also friends with Garreth Weasley. Percival only helps when it sounds like fun or benefits him.

His wolf bite mark is on his left forearm. He covers it with long sleeves.

He dyes his hair to make it less obvious that he is apart of the Selkis family.

Many people wanted to marry into his family due to their nature. Marrying one is having a permeant guard and safety. Also money.

Percival and Ominis are very touchy with each other. Percival will rest his chin on Ominis's shoulder to look over at what he's doing.

Ominis worries alot about Percival's way of playing Quidditch and not helping that he breaks bones every game.

Ominis is taller than Pervical

The King’s Chambers Recs - December 2022

Hello,

Happy Holidays, Merthur fans! We are back again with a festive monthly rec list of some of our favourite winter/holiday themed fanworks recommended by some of our members!

All of the recs are top/dom!Arthur with bottom/sub!Merlin unless stated otherwise.

Fic

We Wish You A Merry Ofsted | nomical | Explicit | 37,343w Summary: A story that chronicles the lives of our gang as teachers and students leading up to the winter holidays. Merlin and Arthur are dumb face in love as usual, but it takes them a while to get any traction. Merlin has a lot to learn and Arthur just cares too damn much. Their colleagues are fed up, the kids are okay, Merlin and Arthur can't catch a break, and everyone loves Gwen. So not much different than canon. (Frottage, no top/bottom)

Something More Palatable | Camelittle | Explicit | 2,465w Summary: Arthur is the first ever vegan Great British Bake-off Champion. His long-suffering husband, Merlin, has the onerous job of testing all Arthur’s bakes in the lead up to publishing a vegan Christmas recipe book.

Fizz the Season | TheDragon | Explicit | 3,854w Summary: "You're not seriously thinking of buying that?"

Merlin whirls around to look at the man who spoke. Tall, fit, blond hair, blue eyes. Immaculately pressed suit, leather shoes, an expensive-looking gold watch on his wrist.

And a smirk on his face that marks him as an absolute prat.

A Midwinter Tradition | rotrude | Explicit | 8,176w Summary: Ever since once battling a witch, Merlin and Arthur have developed a Yule tradition of their own. It's private, comforting, and it warms more than just the heart.

Just Another New Year's Eve | schweet_heart | Teen and Up | 2,900w Summary: It's New Year's Eve, and Arthur is once again trying to get up the nerve to tell his best friend that he's in love with him.

Of course, it would help if Merlin didn't already appear to be having the time of his life with someone else. (No sex, first kiss)

I'll Be Home (For Christmas) | bevinkathryn | Explicit | 3,814w Summary: Merlin and Arthur decorate their home for Christmas, and Arthur gets his present early.

A Royal Christmas | flowersheep | Explicit | 25,928w Summary: Merlin wasn't sure what to expect when his boyfriend revealed himself to be a prince, but it certainly didn't involve being whisked off to a place he'd never even heard of before for the holiday season. Add in a hostile king, a devious princess, and a ball and Merlin is starting to feel more like he's landed himself in some bizarre fairytale. But as long as he's got Arthur, everything will be fine.

Right?

Art

ART: All I Want For Christmas | schweet_heart | Teen and Up | Digital Art Summary: After months of pining, Merlin seizes the moment (and his destiny) when he finds Arthur under the mistletoe at the office Christmas party.

Drawn for Winter Knights Fest 2019. (No sex, kissing)

careful with the baubles.. | brolinskeep | Mature | Digital Manip Summary: xmas/new year gift exchange for my dearest Graciela (Nudity)

The elf prince | lao_paperman | Explicit | Digital Art Summary: When Prince Arthur entered the Elven kingdom, he came with the intention of declaring peace between his father's kingdom and the elven king Balinor. He befriended with the elves Gwaine and Pervical right away but he seemed to have only eyes for the Elfprince Merlin.
