Kruecent

Kruecent is the slash ship between Albert Krueger and Vincent Edgeworth from the Therapy with Dr. Albert Krueger and Vincent: The Secret of Myers fandoms.

Canon
Though the two never interact on screen, it is revealed that they were classmates in college. Albert was the best in the class, while Vincent was the second. According to Albert himself, Vincent always tried to beat him in school, with little success. Albert also says that there was a lot of potential for Vincent to be able to surpass him, but he "witnessed them all go to waste." There was no particular reason that they were arch-enemies, though it is believed that it is most likely because the two "looked similar" and were "both very competent people," causing others to compare the two.

Therapy with Dr. Albert Krueger
During Taylor Lee's therapy session, in which they are presented with inkblots where they have to tell Albert what they see in them, Taylor accidentally discovers one of the pictures that Albert drew. This upsets him, and he decides to attack Taylor in response. As an apology, Albert decides to tell them who is in the picture. It is a drawing of Vincent, whom Albert goes into more detail about.

After Albert tells Taylor about the history between him and Vincent, they ask if Albert liked him. Albert says that he "admired and despised him at the same time." Taylor later asks if it made Albert "feel amazing" that Vincent saw him as his goal, then proceeded to ask him if he misses Vincent, along with the rest of his friends from G4. Albert calls what Taylor said absurd, but Taylor counters him with the fact that there is no other reason Albert would be drawing Vincent, as artists only draw things they like. Taylor notes how it was probably difficult for Albert to say goodbye to all his friends after graduation, and suggests that he should talk to them some time. Albert tells them that he will think about it.

Some time after Taylor's leave, Albert makes an effort to call Vincent. He answers, and Albert says that "it's been a while." The player does not see the rest of the phone call, but in a text file that Albert left on Taylor's desktop, he tells them that he called Vincent, who "seems to be doing fine."

Vincent: The Secret of Myers
Albert is only briefly mentioned in this game. However, during a flashback section in chapter 4, we learn about a "kid from G2" that has been bothering Vincent. This "kid from G2" being Albert. Later in the flashback, we see Vincent imitating Albert in a monologue about marine biology. Victor Blake tells Vincent about what Albert will be doing after he graduates, however Vincent tells him that he has "absolutely zero interest in knowing his future career plans."

Fanon
most likely sailed as a result of Albert's admiration of Vincent. Another reason could be due to the fact the pairing has an "enemies to lovers" dynamic. Some would even describe the pairing as having a love-hate relationship if the two got together. Fanart of the pairing usually involves Albert rambling to Vincent or playfully annoying him in some way. However, there are some fans who dislike the pairing due to the two being enemies, or if they ship a rival ship such as Blakeworth or Krulee.

A common variation of the pairing is the polyship Blakeworther, which most likely arose due to Vincent's ship tease with Victor Blake.
