Vrisrezi

Vrisrezi is the femslash ship between Terezi Pyrope and Vriska Serket from the Homestuck fandom.

Canon
Vriska and Terezi were close friends during their childhood, who on Alternia formed the Scourge Sisters, Team Charge's FLARP rivals. Terezi wanted them to be "L1K3 4 V1G1L4NT3 DUO D1SP3NS1NG JUST1C3", but instead, Vriska killed other trolls to keep her lusus fed. During the Team Charge debacle, Terezi attempted to kill Vriska via the Cue Ball, but only managed to maim her.

Enraged and betrayed, as revenge, Vriska gained control over Terezi's unhatched lusus, where she manipulated the dragon's telepathic abilities to make Terezi walk out of her hive during the day while she slept, and stare at the Alternian sun until she went blind. From then on, their friendship would break apart, although the two of them did seemingly still care about one another.

Terezi once told Vriska she was grateful for being blind, as it allowed her to bond with her lusus as well as to, as she put it, "3XP3R13NC3 TH3 S3NSORY BOUQU3T TH4T 1 3NJOY 3V3RY D4Y". According to a conversation with Karkat, Terezi deep down does not want to see, stating that spiting Vriska is just a bonus to her, which would explain why her dream self was still blind.

On the other hand, Vriska saw her former teammate as a rival, but also attempted to stay friends with her, wanting to rekindle their old rivalry after Sgrub, even competing with her through John and Dave. Even Dave began to see their relationship as black, despite seemingly not knowing much about the concept, although Terezi denied this.

Eventually, when Vriska began to murder people on the meteor, Terezi confronted Vriska. Using her Seer of Mind abilities, she saw that, if Vriska went to fight Bec Noir, she'd only lead him back to the meteor where he would kill them all. While Vriska turned to fly away, Terezi stabbed her in the back (quite literally), which she would regret immensely later on, although she also knew it was the right thing to do in order to protect her friends.

Her guilt would eventually lead her to fall into a depression, which lead her to the eventual decision to let Aranea heal her eyes, and her extremely toxic black relationship with Gamzee. After the events of GAME OVER, she began to tap into her powers once again, and gave John instructions to stop her past self from killing Vriska by knocking her out. John complies, and the retconned timeline is created.

In said retconned timeline, Vriska and Terezi spent most of the three-year-journey together, regaining their friendship. At one point, they become moirails, and although Terezi still struggled with depression and her self-esteem, she relied on Vriska for reassurance. While flying to LOTAK, Terezi expressed why she cared so much about Vriska, revealing that she always envied her self-assurance, even when it led to her self-destructive actions, believing her to rely more on Vriska than Vriska does on her.

After this conversation, Terezi taps into her powers once again, seeing a vision of her pre-retcon self waking up as a ghost, wandering the dream bubbles, eventually meeting up with pre-retcon Vriska. They hold hands and hug, watching the destruction of Paradox Space from afar, seemingly having rekindled their friendship.

After the events of Act 7, Terezi heads back to Paradox Space in an attempt to find Vriska near the black hole, seemingly believing Vriska is still alive.

Fanon
Vrisrezi is a popular ship in the Homestuck fandom. While it is not one of the most-written ships on AO3, it has a large following on websites like Tumblr. The ship primarily raised in popularity during Act 5 Act 2, where their rivalry had a lot of tension to it, some characters even acknowledging it, although it truly sailed when the Vriskagram flash launched, where it was shown they had rekindled their friendship.

Some fanfictions of the two may involve the Humanstuck AU, an alternate universe where the Trolls are human, perhaps in a modern setting or something else entirely.

Trivia

 * Vriska blinding Terezi fits with her title as a literal Thief of Light.
 * In ancient times, the constellation Libra was originally considered a part of Scorpius. Terezi's relationship with Vriska may be an allusion to this fact.
