Ramsival

Ramsival is the het ship between Percival King and Ramsey Murdoch from the Epithet Erased fandom.

Canon
The two didn't exactly have the best of starts. Percy first met Ramsey while he was "incarcerated" in the Redwood Run sheriff's office. Hoping to gain protection from Zora, Ramsey convinced her to take him along with her under the guise of using his criminal thinking as an asset. He initially lies to her by claiming not to have an Epithet in case their alliance goes south, prompting her to view him as a non-threat. Additionally, when they find Giovanni at the tavern and Percy confronts him, Ramsey helps him out behind her back.

In spite of their rocky beginnings, they quickly begin to grow on each other during their search for the Arsene Amulet. Percy finds Ramsey to be surprisingly insightful, while Ramsey enjoys Percy's wit and shows genuine concern for her wellbeing, attempting to help out when she needs it. The two manage to develop a genuine respect for one another, in spite of their roles as a police officer and a con-artist and Ramsey enacting a need-to-know basis toward Percy.

When Zora finds them after obtaining the Amulet, the two are forced to work together to face her. In spite of Ramsey attempting to ditch them once or twice and Percy being fairly ignorant of Ramsey's health and safety, the two manage to find enough trust in each other to outsmart Zora into conceding a draw.

When everything is said and done, Percy recognizes Ramsey's Epithet and proceeds to arrest him for his extended history of embezzlement and forgery. In spite of his criminal infamy, she admits she appreciates his help. As such, she offers him the opportunity to put his skills to use on their side of the law to make up for his past crimes, as well as a comfortable cell where Zora won't come prowling for him. While Ramsey is reasonably upset at first, he decides to take her up on her offer.

Fanon
The ship sailed as a result of the mutual respect and endearing dynamic that forms between the two over the course of the Redwood Run arc. Fans of the ship tend to envision their bond growing even stronger as Ramsey aids in her cases during his sentence, ultimately forming a romance between them. A fair quanity of fan-content portrays them as having an asexual relationship, as Percy has been confirmed as ace in canon.
