Doriax

Doriax is the slash ship between Dorian Storm and Dariax Zaveon from the Critical Role fandom.

The Nameless Ones
Dariax enters the room after having a night on the roof and greets Dorian a good morning. He assumed that Dorian pranked him, but Dorian denies it given how gross the prank was. Dorian correctly assumes that Dariax doesn't remember anything from the night before, and Dariax says that means there's nothing holding him down. Dorian suggest he go was himself and the spear, given that they both smell awful, and Dariax decides to do that.

As Dariax heads towards the townhouse, Dorian runs after him and tells him to come back. Dariax says okay, and Dorian explains that they're talking about something important. He puts his arm around him to pull him back, but finds that he's too dense to really move, so just tells him that they have to go. Dariax then places his arm around Dorian and follows.

A Glorious Return
Dorian goes over to Dariax and asks how he's able to get all his deals, and Dariax decides to explain. He's the handsome one of the group, and says that there's just sometimes a bit of luck when it comes to conversation. He offers to show Dorian some tips, and Dorian puts out that he's still disgusting after everything they went through. Dariax points out that he still got a discount and Dorian just walks away.

By the Road
Dorian brings up how he set out to see the world, when Dariax says that he's been meaning to ask about that. He asks how Dorian ended up on the road playing music and using magic, and Dorian instantly becomes surprised. Dariax says he's curious and Dorian points out that Dariax came from a small town. Dariax confirms this and Dorian says that it's kind of the same thing. Just wanting to get out from his small town. When he can't say the name of his home, Fearne points out that he's a very bad liar. Dariax gets why he's not saying anything and knows that not everyone has a proud history. He's not going to force it out of Dorian and was just curious. Dorian says that he will share someday, just not today and Daraiax sees that as fair enough. Dorian does thank him for being interested, and Dariax admits that he just needed something to fill the silence. Dorian being nice also helps, espeically since he's able to keep him out of trouble sometimes. Something not a lot of people do, which he appreciates. Dorian does say that he did have a good upbringing, and that he's happy to be there with everyone.

Dariax thinks he's got it, and believes that Dorian comes from carnival folk, which Dorian is offended ask. He asks how he reads as carnival folk, and Dariax says that's what he picks up when he puts all the pieces together. He asks if he's right, and Dorian decides to mess with him and say that he's right. He says not to tell anyone, and that it could cost him his life and Dariax agrees not to say anything.

A Test of Worth
Dariax wakes from a dream of the Spider Queen and goes over to Dorian. Dorian asks if he's all right and Dariax says that he had a really weird dream. Dorian asks if it's the one about the giant dwarf lady again, and Dariax says that this dream came after this one. Dorian asks what was wrong and Dariax says that the dream spooked him a bit. He says that he thought it was best to stay close to his friends a bit and tries to play it off that he's not scared. He says they should protect each other back to back, and Dorian asks if he means sleeping that way. Dariax says whatever, and Dorian tells him to just say it. Dariax does, and he gets into bed with Dorian, laying back to back. Dorian asks if he feels better, and Dariax says that he does. Dorian then feels his back go numb and asks if Dorian has any poison darts in his bag, which Dorian doesn't. He asks if he's wearing the circlet and Dariax says he keeps it in the satchel. Dorian points out that the satchel is at his back and Dariax remembers that the crown makes Dorian feel gross. He moves the pack so that it's at the front, and Dorian thanks him so that he's no longer numb from the waist down. Dorian asks if Dariax's dream was only vague and Dariax says that he also heard the voice of the spider queen giving him power, and Dorian tells him to repeat what he just said. Dariax says it was just a dream, and Dorian points out that Dariax is carrying the spider queen's crown. They end up waking the rest of the group, and Dorian makes Dariax tell them about the Spider Queen.
