Daniel x Grace

Daniel x Grace is the het ship between Grace Le Domas and Daniel Le Domas from the Ready or Not fandom.

Canon
Daniel was a member of the Le Domas family, who gained their wealth when their ancestor Victor Le Domas made a deal with a devilish demon known as Le Bail. Besides sacrificing goats, the family would have to force everyone who married into the family into drawing a card from the box on the night of the wedding. The game depicted on the card would be the game that they would play. However, if the 'Hide and Seek' Card was drawn, the family would hunt them down. Daniel was happy for his brother Alex during his wedding with Grace. Throughout the wedding, Daniel attempted to dissuade Grace from marrying Alex, fearing that she would draw the 'Hide and Seek' card. He told her that she didn't belong in the family, and that he had told her that as a compliment. However, she instead believed that he was hitting on her.

Despite believing that his family would die if Grace wasn't killed by sunrise, he continued to spare her. When he first found her, he gave her a ten second head start. She was later involved in a car crash, after which she was found by Daniel. She then pleaded with him, begging him to let her go and telling him that he was a "good guy". He then admitted that, although he liked her, he refused to allow his family to perish. He then knocked her unconscious and dragged her back to the mansion with his father Tony.

He was visibly upset as the family prepared for the sacrifice. He then chose to betray his family by lacing the ceremonial goblet with a non-lethal poison and pretending to drink from it, resulting in the sacrifice being disrupted. He then went over to Grace and untied her. While he told her that he wasn't sure if he would rescue her, she reassured him, telling him that she knew he would. However, just as they were about to escape down a hallway, they were found by Charity, Daniel's wife. He then stood in front of Grace, pleading with Charity to spare them. However, Charity stated that he didn't care if she died and shot Daniel in the neck with a crossbow, killing him.

Fanon
The ship is the most written ship for both characters on AO3. It is also has the most written works on AO3 for a Ready or Not ship overall. This is in spite of Alex x Grace and Charity x Daniel being canon. This is largely due to how Daniel was the only member of the Le Domas family to be on Grace's side in the end, with even Alex eventually betraying her. The ship currently has 120+ written works on AO3.
