NorVin

"Sorry, Boss. Just like Cislo said, I was too dependent on you. The stronger you were... the stronger I felt as well."

- Vincent, Chapter 168

NorVin is the friendship between Norman and Vincent from The Promised Neverland fandom.

Canon
Vincent is a survivor of Lambda 7214, the plantation where various experiments were made on orphans from various plantation farms. He was saved and rescued by Norman, and then he became one of his most trusted allies. Norman managed to escape from Lambda by first finding an accomplice. The accomplice in question is Vincent, since his name is written in the secret message of the rubix cube Norman received. Considering that Vincent was able to make contact with Norman first, he was already at Lambda long before Norman arrived, giving him the time needed to learn about the facility and contact others unnoticed.

Some time later, when Emma and Ray reach the hideout where Norman and his group are in, alongside other plantation farms' escapees, they're greeted by Barbara, Cislo and Vincent. Barbara and Cislo insist they share some stories about Norman from when he was little. And Vincent says that no matter how much they try to hide it, Barbara and Cislo love the boss, referring to Norman. Cislo and Barbara then tease him back by saying he should shut up since he also loves everything Norman does. After Emma and Ray finish talking about their childhood memories with Norman, Vincent says that in the present Norman is a good man, who cares for his companions. Before meeting Emma and Ray, Vincent met up with Norman, telling him he saw how Norman looked like a completely different person the day before when he was around his siblings from Grace Field. Norman cuts him, asking him to not tease him and goes straight to discuss his future plans, trusting Vincent before anyone with all of his revolution plans.

Vincent remains one of the most loyal allies to Norman during the whole completion of his annihilation plan. And as the group gets joyous of its success in the middle of their journey to the Imperial Capital, and they thank Norman, Vincent tells him that they're only alive thanks to him and that it's thanks to him that they can do that. After defeating Queen Legravalima, Norman and his team make their way to Grace Field House to save their family and friends who were kidnapped by Peter Ratri. Vincent gets in charge of tracking down where Peter is as well as shutting down the Farm's security system, and when he gets to it, he lets Norman know. However, Peter sets a trap for Norman and his friends, and instead goes to where Vincent and his team are, tying them up in ropes and demanding he gives them the password to restore the security system. That's when Peter Ratri threatens him with a gun to kill him, but Vincent knows better that without him he can't get the password, and tells Norman to not worry about him and carry on with the plan, saying he'll sacrifice himself. Norman refuses to let Vincent die and yells desperately at him that they're all going to survive together. Peter gets fed up and shoots Vincent, to Norman's horror. But Hayato gets to save him and he survives.

Finally, when all of the cattle children and farm escapees get to make it to the Human World, Vincent is seen helping Norman all along while Ray and him search for Emma. He then gets to live a happy life, presumably as a scientist, as vice CEO in Norman's company, while Norman goes to live with Ray and Emma, with CEO as his profession.

Fanon
NorVin is not a very popular ship within The Promised Neverland fandom, being overshadowed by Norman's most popular ones, such as NorEmma and NorRay. However, the fans of this ship really love the dynamic they share and what a great team they are. Also, some fans think that Vincent might have some feelings for Norman since he sparked a flicker of hope in Vincent when he rescued him, but also marked the beginning of an interest Vincent started having on him that later develop into an desire of his to learn more and more about Norman and to be closer to him.

The ship currently has less than 50 total works in AO3, and all of them depict the two as friends.
