Introduction
Welcome to my second ship manifesto, and this time I would like to re-visit an old topic I already talked about a few years ago. I’ll be talking about Cravex and Mortdred, and why I love this couple so much!
Yes, Visionaries is the cartoon that just keeps giving because I’m still finding things to talk about. And yes, I’m going to be talking Mortdred and Cravex, again. But, it’s in a more romantic angle than my last study about them. Mainly, I can’t hide my bias with these two and I feel this will allow me to explain some points further than last time.
I know some people will feel as though I’m reaching with this one. Don’t say it because I have my moments where I feel like I am. But, this is a ship manifesto so this is more for fun. It’s also mainly, due to how short this series is, a lot of it is my own interpretations and speculations on these two because they’re were one of the many characters that didn’t get it a chance. So, some of it is more covert in nature (I’m looking at you, Cravex). So please excuse me for becoming unhinged in this work. As I said before, I’m biased about them.
So, I will be retreading some areas if you haven’t read my character analyses about these two, and relationship study. Also, I wanted to talk about some new things I’ve found along with some points I’ve missed in my relationship study. Plus, an interpretation I had of Mortdred that in hindsight was completely wrong.
And without further ado, let’s get right to it.

Note(s): Finally, I'm back to writing some new material! It's been awhile, hasn't it? The job search still sucks, so I decided to take my mind off of it and write something fluffy for a change.
I think Lexor in the comic deserves to have something good happen to him for once. So, I thought about what happened in the third issue, The Star Stone, in the background with him and Virulina, and it went from from there.
I still hold the opinion that either Cravex in the cartoon or Lexor in the comic would be better boyfriends to Mortdred than Darkstorm.
Anyway, thanks for stopping by, as always.
Summary: Lexor gives Mortdred a modest bouquet as a token of his thanks -along with some hidden feelings for the steward-. But, how Mortdred will react is what worries him the most.

End of Chapter Notes: Happy early New Year's Eve, everybody!
Well, this is the final chapter for the ficlet collection and for 2021. I thought I could write twelve chapters but I cut it short by a hair. I want to thank you guys for taking the time to read these short stories, despite my irregular uploading schedule. (If you could call it a schedule.)
I still have a soft spot for the Darkling Lords and I'm not going to write about these guys anytime soon. It's just that my attention has been diverted to film noir retro-futurism mecha anime, and the e-mail guy. I have no idea how I got to these points.
Anyway, I needed a break from Visionaries and I think I might rewatch some episodes in the future.

Update: I decided to rewrite the fic because I wasn't happy with it turned out. I still don't understand why I rushed it at the time, but I wanted to write a fic where I can genuinely enjoy. Hopefully, you guys enjoy it, too.

But was following such a whim a good idea?
