Blakeworth

Blakeworth is the slash ship between Victor Blake and Vincent Edgeworth from the Vincent: The Secret of Myers fandom.

Chapter 3
Upon a boombox broadcast reporting about the unknown whereabouts of Winston Loomis, a man whom Vincent got convicted, Victor angrily goes to confront Vincent on his knowledge of it. Vincent lies, saying that he knows nothing of the sort. However, Victor calls him out on his lie, as Winston is currently in Vincent's mansion. Vincent, once again, lies and tells Victor that he had just happen to pass by him on his way back. Victor calls him out again, as Winston should be in prison. In response, Vincent tells him that he "does not pay attention to such minuscule details." This statement irritates Victor even more, as Vincent is literally the one who put Winston in jail.

Telling the other to look him in the eyes, Victor then brings up the fact that, although being good at it, Vincent could never lie to him. Vincent counters the former statement, saying that he has been looking Victor in the eyes the entire time. The two bicker back and forth about this. Vincent saying he has, Victor saying he hasn't. Victor finally lets it go, telling Vincent that he would "always support every choice" he made, in which he has always been doing since the two met in college. However, he believes the current choice Vincent has made to be ridiculous. In attempt to reason with Vincent, Victor empathizes with him, understanding that what Myers did to him was horrible, but warns him of the dangers of choosing revenge. Victor tells him how much of a miracle it was that Vincent even survived the car accident. He questions Vincent if he really wants to be an enemy of Myers forever, as he can still achieve so much in his future. He also brings up the fact that Vincent cannot take down the entire Myers Corporation on his own, and how he's just "sacrificing his life for nothing."

In response, Vincent asks Victor to join him, as he "needs him." He explains how he may seem crazy, but if he does not do anything now, he would still be pushed around as Myers would still find a way to kill him. He tells Victor that he is right for thinking he cannot defeat Myers on his own. Vincent, saying that though he needs the mind of Winston, he also needs a person who can trust with his entire life, that being Victor. Victor worries, as such a decision would be incredibly dangerous for them. Vincent then proceeds to bring up how the world is in "equilibrium" and that "good and evil are but two changing rhythms." He tells Victor he trusts him, and that they can "find the equilibrium that's just right."

Victor finally decides to side with him, remembering that "Vincent Edgeworth never regrets his choice." He tells him that he is "willing to walk alongside" Vincent, despite how "long and difficult" their path may be. Vincent then thanks him. Victor, using this as another moment to tease him, pretends he could not hear what Vincent said. Vincent repeats himself, but they are then interrupted by Winston, whom both forgot was there in the first place. Victor asks what they will do with Winston, Vincent suggesting that they just throw him back in prison. Victor notices Vincent's embarrassment of the situation, using this as another opportunity to tease him. However, Vincent tells him to cut it out.

Victor then tells Vincent that he has a surprise for him. This surprise turns out to be some items that he stole from Winston's lab, as he knew that it was Vincent behind Winston's prison escape the entire time. While Vincent is investigating the items, he has some thoughts about Victor. He thinks about how victor "intimidates him sometimes," can "read his mind without any difficulty," and "could go as far as to anticipate his every move." He also calls Victor a superhuman, saying that "he never needed Myer's mechanical prosthesis to be a superhuman, he already is one." Vincent then starts to wonder what would happen if him and Victor never had become friends in college, and what would have happened if he had not had Victor next to him when he needed him. He wonders where he would be now, and how different things would be. However, he decides to smother the thought, as he would "rather not think about it."

Fanon
Majority of the support for the ship most likely arose due to the pairing's ship tease in fourth chapter. However, some moments in the previous three chapters may have contributed to this as well, such as the pairing's trust in each other, them being close friends who were previously roommates, along with Victor occasionally teasing Vincent. Some fans like to compare Victor and Vincent to that of an. One specific reason for this comparison is referring to the scene in the third chapter where the two quarrel. There have been jokes about said scene, and sometimes just in general about Winston being a third-wheel to them. Following the reveal of Draco Edgeworth's becoming, he is often depicted as the pairing's son.

Due to the popularity of both Blakeworth and Kruecent, many fans also ship the two with Dr. Albert Krueger, their ship name being Blakeworther.

Trivia

 * The character "Draco Edgeworth," who is Vincent's brother and butler, is comparable to that of a "lovechild" between the two, as Draco shares similar physical features of both Victor and Vincent. Not to mention, one of the most important plot points involves the fact that Draco is a combination of Victor's memories, and Vincent's DNA.
 * On Chinese Valentine's Day 2020, the creator, dino999z, shared fan-art of the pairing on the game's developer log.
