touch
Thinking of touch-starved menâŠ, their eyes follow your hands and fingers so carefully, anxiously, getting easily jealous at how casual your touches are with others who are not them; always lingering where you are, seeking out your presence and just wanting a sliver of your attention away from everyone else; touch-starved ones who have a quiet gasp whenever you place your hands over theirs or just a casual friendly touch; chills along their spine and entire body as you play with their hair; hugs make them freeze in their tracks before arms tentatively wrap around you like your made of glass or a stardust that will vanish the second itâs over
EDIT: they canât help but swallow down their moan(s) when your fingers brush through their hair, lightly touching the exposed back of their neck
JustâŠ.touch starved charactersâŠ

B/c I'm still in the mood for it... Gale/Tav (or Gale/Caleb!), the laziest, quietest day at home, whatever home looks like for them.
Ohhh, I've been thinking of this a lot lately. I hope it's ok that I set this as Gale x Reader so it could be anyone! Tav, Caleb (bc I imagine him curling up like a cat in this tbh,) or literally anyone else who sees themselves in this moment.
The scene is this:
It's a cool day in Waterdeep, the doors to the terrace are open, welcoming in the sounds of the rolling waves against the shore, the sails unfurling from merchant ships heading out to sea, and the faint smell of ozone mixed with the salty air that sends the promise of a gentle rain.
Gale tosses a couple of logs on the fire, and fluffs up the blanket for you both to cuddle in on the couch.
You emerge with a hot beverage in hand for each of you, and he accepts his with a kiss. "Gods, this is divine," he muses as he takes a careful sip. "Thank you, my love."
He ushers you to the settee where you curl up immediately, appreciating not only the warmth of the fire, but that of the blanket Gale just fanned out over you. Once he joins you, you flit one side of the blanket across his lap, and snuggle yourself into him as he drapes an arm across your body, his free hand reaching for the book he's been reading to you every night.
The crackle of the nearby fire is the perfect accompaniment to Gale's warm tones as he recites every word. It's enough to lull you to sleep despite how eager you are to hear what he's reading. There's something magical about the way he speaks that makes you melt, makes you feel content, and at peace.
While he uses a mage hand to help hold the book and turn the pages, his other hand is spent tracing slow, idle patterns across your skin.
You finally relent as your lids become heavy and you stir, nuzzling yourself into Gale's body as he leans over to kiss the top of your head.
And you smile as the soft pitter patter of rain adds yet another lovely sound to this sweetest of symphonies as sleep finally takes you in the safety of your lovers' arms.
#i hope this was ok#bc good lord#it's been living in my head rent free#gale dekarios#but i had to get this out of my head#gale of waterdeep#bg3#bg3 gale#baldur's gate 3#gale#baldur's gate gale#baldurs gate#gale romance#gale x tav#gale x reader#caleb widogast#maybe?#it could totally be him too#they deserve to be cute in a wizard tower together#it's 2:30 am#so i think I'm projecting a little on the sleep thing#lmao#it's still adorable as hell though

Hello! I was wondering if you could write a Mighty Nein version of the hiding in the alley together Bell's hells scenario you wrote? I really loved your Bell's hells one! Thanks!
Thank you darling! I love that post so much too đ„°
Bell's Hells version đ
Tight Squeeze (hiding in an alley together)
Beau đ
You're standing on her toes, and her elbow is poking harshly into your side, and you both just don't know where to look. "Sorry, I'll scoot over a little bit-" "No, wait, hang on a sec-" Awkward scrambling ensues. You whisper and try to convince her to put up with the closeness until you guys are safe, but she. Just. Won't. Listen. Eventually, her squirming has you both off centre and reaching for each other for balance, and she murmurs a quiet: "... oh."
Beau isn't a romantic, never has been, and she's never really gazed into someone's eyes as purposefully as she is right now. You're fucking gorgeous. How has she never stopped to just look at you before? Have you always been so... You blink in confusion as she seems to soften, ever so slightly, calming down enough to breathe in sync with you.
You feel a palm drag itself up your arm, up, up, up until she finally cradles your jaw. And you both stand there, unmoving, for who knows how long, before she eventually tears herself away from you and the alley with a grumble. You take a moment to recover from the intense look in her eye, running after Beau only when she calls your name to hurry up.
-
Caleb đ
His mouth is puckered in a tight frown as he looks anywhere but your face. It's an incredibly tight squeeze where you've found yourselves, so narrow that you're effectively pinning the wizard to the wall behind him. Your palms rest flat at either side of his neck and his hands have curled into little fists between your chests. Your heartbeat is thundering in your ears - or maybe it's Caleb's - you're not quite sure whose it is when you're this close together.
It's incredibly quiet. Awkward, even. So you say something. Anything. A stupid comment on how this is like a cheesy scene in one of the awful smutty books that's been passed around the group, and he can't help but huff a laugh and try to hold back an amused smile. His shoulders relax and he rests his head against the wall to finally get a better look at you, and something makes you lean your head towards him, following his lead. His lips part slightly as you move closer and-
Nott/Veth calling both your names from outside the alley jerks your faces apart, and Caleb very hurriedly inches away from you. "We should, ah..." He reluctantly shuffles towards the road, adjusts unkempt hair and smooths down the front of his coat, fingers twisting the buttons shyly. "W-we should go join the others, ja?" His heart sings at the simple touch of you linking pinkies with him. It's a quiet message he doesn't need to worry about deciphering.
-
Fjord đ
"Beggin' your pardon." You can't help but snort. Even in times of peril, in situations where you're taking cover from the intense fighting outside of alleyways, Fjord still manages to treat you well and act the perfect gentleman. He shushes you, smiling himself, and it briefly feels like you're the only two people in the world - except for those in the battle mere feet away from your hiding spot.
His eyes soften as you share a secret grin with him, but not in the way you'd like. He clears his throat, peeks out of the gap of the alley."Look, I know this isn't an ideal situation but..." You say his name sweetly, urge him to look up from the ground to meet your gaze, and you see colour quickly spread across his neck in embarrassment. He swallows thickly and looks away, and breathes out the quietest shuddering sigh.
A hesitant hand reaches out for yours, and you grip it tight before he can regret taking the leap. The rest of the Nein find you both in that same position minutes later once the battle had officially ended and it was safe to leave, all tangled fingers and soft gazes. Fjord never wants to let go.
-
Jester đ
"Are you gonna kiss me?" She's a little cross eyed, a little flushed and out of breath, and so so pretty this close up. Her eyes flick between your own, both your noses just barely grazing. "It feels like now would be a good time to kiss me." And it does.
But the moment is ruined when a swarm of soldiers charges right by the alley's entrance, and Jester lunges forward to hug you close. Together you find yourselves huddled further in the shadows while the enemy runs right by your hiding spot. She's so soft in your arms, perfect - it's like she belongs there - and you want to tell her that, but saying so out loud would easily blow your cover. So you settle for keeping her close, a hand in her hair while she ducks her head under your chin.
You wait until the last soldier has gone before you reluctantly remove yourself from the tiefling (who visibly pouts) and peek outside the alley. Once the coast is clear, you look over your shoulder, only to find Jester already looping arms with you. She smiles, this time confidently, and you enter daylight once more with no mention of the almost-kiss.
-
Mollymauk đ
He doesn't say a word. Which, y'know, is ideal when skulking about in an abandoned alley, away from prying eyes of spies and mercenaries - but the way how Mollymauk is not-so-subtly glancing your way every few seconds is awfully distracting. You lightly push against his chest, tell him in a hushed voice to stop smirking so much, that this is a very serious situation. "What? Can I not look at you now? Can I not enjoy the little things while we fear for our lives? Who knows when I'll see something so lovely again~"
You push him again, a little more forcefully this time, and he actually barks a laugh, sways back to you and tilts his head with sticky fondness. There's a sudden commotion nearby - heavily armoured folk who suddenly look in the direction of the sound and touch their weapons suspiciously. Quick thinking in the moment has you press your body closely to Molly's, making your forms fit within shadow, and cover his mouth with your hand.
And he's silent again, but his expression has changed. He never looks away from you, nor you him, both of you holding breaths in anticipation - of being discovered, or of something more passionate, you are not completely sure - but the moment is never interrupted. When all is safe and sound once more after the hired fighters evacuate the nearby area, he slowly peels your hand away and presses a single, simple touch of his lips to your palm. It's barely even a kiss, but you don't mind. It's nothing. It's something. It's a promise.
-
Yasha đ
She's... Well, you already knew that she was tall before this, but you never really knew exactly how tall Yasha was until you were up against each other in a tiny alleyway in some fancy town neither of you know the name of. It's a small space, and there are hired thugs sniffing around town looking for you and the Nein, but you feel so safe with the barbarian - a protective barrier between you and the rest of the world. Your face warms at the thought.
She peers down at you with a blank expression, and you expect awkward silence, but she surprises you with: "Well this is quite cosy, isn't it?" It's dark in the alley, but she can see the wrinkles by your eyes when you smile at her. Good. That'll ease the tension immensely... And the slightly nervous pitter patter of her heart.
Despite it all, she's a little flustered being so close to you. It's weirdly intimate caging you in, and she curses under her breath quietly when you look away bashfully and bite your lip with a grin. She's obviously done something right when you gently rest a hand on her arm and ease her wandering mind. She still feels that touch hours after, and wonders if you're thinking of it too.
-
Kingsley đ
You don't want to admit it, but you're panicking. What started off as a cheeky side quest quickly spiralled into a catastrophe, and you now find yourself in a claustrophobic space with bad guys on your tails, and you have grazed knees after tripping earlier and you're stuck with your most charming friend who looks at you like he loves you, and it's all too much, and- "Hey, keep your eyes on me."
Kingsley is holding your face in his hands, and you can barely make out his crimson eyes in the dark, but you know he's giving you that look again. "We're gonna be fine, we're gonna get out of this. I'll buy you a drink later, you'll see." You want to believe him, even as your heart drums loudly in your chest, leftover adrenaline dulling in your veins. You follow his lead, breathe in, and breathe out as you move to hold the wrists of his hand that are cupping your face still. You find calm, and he looks proud. Maybe it's only a shadow of an expression in the dark though.
Instead of leading you back towards the ship, Kingsley takes you by the hand and dances around the crowded marketplace towards a quiet tavern on the outskirts of town. He reaches out and holds the door open for you, and grins when you look puzzled."I owe you a drink, remember?"

Babysitting Luc with Caleb
Fandom: Critical Role
Character(s): Caleb
Note(s): in a critical role mood I guess. But here's this. Not out right spoilers, but heavy implications to Caleb's backstory.
Caleb
Honestly steals your breath away with how good he is with Luc. Just simple minor illusions that steals the boy's attention or letting Luc play with the various Frumpkin forms he summons.
Being a dad is not on Caleb's agenda, he's mentioned this. And with the pain of what happened to his own parents, what he did to his parents, well he just doesn't think he'd ever be worthy or okay to become a father too.
But he's happy being an uncle. Caleb beckons you to come closer and sit with him as he tells Luc stories of adventures while performing magic. You didn't think it'd be possible to fall in love more.

Armored
The start of a fic set in regards to a conversation that happened between my partner and me in regards to Tieflings using their tails for various things.
M9 x Reader
slight mollymauk x reader
slightly suggestive but that's up to interpretation
Find it on AO3
----------------
You were staring. You knew it. Molly knew it. Everyone knew it and it was starting to get weird.Â
It wasnât the first time Molly had been stared at, being part of a carnival for a while, but the Nein were a bit more cautious about where they looked so as to not garner unwanted attention. Yet here you were; deep in thought, unmoving, and staring at his tail. At first he thought you were just staring into space so he started moving the appendage back and forth to be sure, only to have your eyes follow its every move.Â
Glancing towards the rest of the crew with a smirk he lifts his tail to eye height, your eyes faithfully following.
âGlad you were able to find my eyes darling.â
âWhy donât you use your tail as a whip?â
He freezes at the random sentence. âI â What?â
You finally focus on his face. âYour tail. Why donât you use it as a whip? Iâve seen both you and Jester lash your tails fairly quickly and it's about the width of my whip.â You place your bullwhip on the table, unwrapping part of it.Â
Jester was the first to recover âThat would hurt tho.âÂ
You look over. âNot if you wrap or braid it with leather or something. Youâd essentially be making a new piece of armor that protects your tail. Plus you could probably find a blacksmith and get a piece of metal that you could place over the end that would be sharper to help deal damage.âÂ
âAlmost like a stinger on a wasp.â Yasha responds, entering the conversation. âYou could grapple with your arms and wrap around with your tail.âÂ
âEven without wrapping I feel like it wouldnât be too different from clotheslining someone with an arm.â Beau leans forward, now entrenched in the idea.Â
You nod. âIt would probably hurt more than that, considering that the amount of contact would be smaller.â
âWe could even get different things to attach to the end!â Jester states, pulling out her sketchbook and scribbling down some ideas while muttering to herself. Â
Molly, finally snapping out of it, leans forward onto the table. âYour brain never ceases to amaze darling. Where did this come from?âÂ
You stare at him in confusion, slowly raising the bullwhip from the table. âYou have something attached to your ass that looks like a shorter version of my main weapon of choice. I have seen you actively move it however you want. Why are you so surprised I asked this question?âÂ
Beau laughs. âMolly they say the most out of pocket shit that I have ever heard. You canât be surprised by this. Between the threats of shaving people bald, wanting to make mimics their pet, and responding to things with random noises that make no sense, I'm just happy thereâs some logic in this one.âÂ
Fjord, Caleb, and Nott sit down with new drinks, Nott speaking up first. âWe making fun of Y/N and their mannerisms?â Jester jumps in, quickly explaining the small conversation that had happened while they were away, leaving you able to lean over to Molly.Â
âYou know, I could just braid a fabric around your tail for fun.âÂ
Molly looks back to you. âOh?âÂ
âWrap it up, put some charms on the fabric. Could even do so as to match the rest of your attire. Doesnât have to be a defensive thing.âÂ
Molly smirks. âWas this just a long con to be able to play with my tail darling? You know all you need to do is ask.âÂ
You shrug with a smile, a glint in your eye that Molly quite enjoys. âBut now Jester has an option to use to get alone time with a certain green someone.âÂ
Molly barks a laugh âOh you clever little thing you.â All you respond with is an eyebrow wiggle as you drink your ale.Â

Hello there so I saw a headcanon of Vox Machina having a s/o who is usually calm and nice sort of like the mom friend of the group and one day at a tavern a person picking fun at the member the s/o is with and the s/o being like: âHold my ale.â All nice and sweet before fucking beating the other person up without hesitation. So I'm wondering if you can do this with the mighty nein as well.
One ale đș coming up!!
main masterlist 11
Nott/Veth
Some ass was giving her a hard time at the tavern but you were not having it. The minute you stand to defend her, sheâs equally emotional at your protection but also raucously cheering you on. Or joining in
Jester
Just as every bit of fiery as you but sheâs all blushes and giggles when you defend her, a âmy heroâ kiss on the cheek when you come back
Mollymauk/Kingsley
Honestly heâs quite impressed with how good you are in a fight and once you come back over to sit by him, heâs proud to show you off, ânext round is on meâ
Caleb
Thereâs an itching feeling he gets whenever someone tries to cause him problems, but the anxieties leave him when you step up for him. It makes him feel protected after so many years of pain before
Fjord
Easily knows he could overtake someone but itâs a sense of pride he gets when you stick up for him. Even more amusing if he or said offender towers over you
Cadeuces
Ever the calm cleric, heâll just casually sip away at his drink as you deliver, giving side eye to the one who insulted him earlier, âI mean, I did warn youâŠâ
Essek
Not one to stand for rudeness, and though heâs itching to cast that Dumancy, itâs more lovingly entertaining watching you do the honors
Beauregard
She knows you can handle yourself and actively encourages you when you get into it with someone, a proud âkick their ass babe!â
Yasha
She can only have a faux sense of concern for said offender before youâre winding up to smack them down, a bit of a smug âoh you shouldnât have done thatâ

{â„} Authors Note - OOO YES of course! Oh so many feelings and probably a good lot of slow burn , perfect recipe for disaster and a whole lot of realization <3 - sorry if the essek one is a little *bleh.* Ive been watching supercuts for him but I also dont want to spoil myself since I know a lot of his story revolves around the later plot for campaign 2 , SOOOOO.... I tried lol. Though his was very entertaining to write for! {â„} Content Warnings: Mostly proofread , some depictions of âflameâ for Calebs part (signifying feelings lol.) Also for Esseks describing love in a rather âpainfulâ manner to put it. Other than that , I think that is all! Please let me know if I should add more in the comments :3c  âËâ§ê°áá©áȘEá· áŻIáȘOGá©áTê±âË⧠ That night originally was so peaceful, staring out at the moonlit sky with some of your other friends. Though as you conversed, you never expected to have everything get turned upside down. It was all so fast, not being able to call for the others happily asleep tore you apart.  Trying to fight off your captors was a struggle, you thinking the four of you could easily get away. But no, you overstepped and it ended in the bunch of you getting taken away. Not without some battering in the process.  You didnt know where you were, trying so hard to break free from the manacles that trapped you. Never stopping to find a way out. Your fighting senses were not very much welcomed by your captors. They picked right through you and your friends.  Sadly you got dealt the short end of the stick with Yasha. Spending the majority of your time being captured, getting your absolute shit rocked. All of it was a blur, only remembering the beating that came to you.  The coldness of the stone under you welcomed you into sleep. You were staying unconscious with Yasha as well due to the Shepherds. If you WERE conscious, you would have known of the entrance of your friend plus a couple of newbies coming in to save you and the others.  After they dealt with everything and opened up Jester and Fjord's cell, they found you and Yashaâs. The others decided to have a search around the Iron Shepherdâs base, and Caleb decided to sit that out. Instead staying behind with the âout like a lightâ you and Yasha.  Seeing you, so hurt and bruised sent something through him. With how much he's known you (I imagine the same as much as heâs known Nott), it sent a feeling of urgency through him. It wasnt like he was scared shitless before, but that made him feel that pit plummet even more. Laying there as the others went to go search around, he couldnt stop looking over at you. Those embers grew more and more, becoming a fire in his chest. What was this? , he hadn't really felt it in a while. What was this urgency? You were another one of his companions, why was he feeling all warm on the inside? Just like with Astrid and Eadwolf, that fire blazed to high heaven. This stood out to him, and the repeatings of âno no no noâŠâ trailed along in his avoidant mind. He could bare to rid you of the burden of him being in love with you. A lot had happened in only a couple of days, which led him to lie to himself. He halted his flooding paranoia to a stop. Taking a breath in, he can think about this later and let it tare him apart. Now he just has to wait for the others to come back. He went on to clear his mind, rattling on directly to the unconscious Yasha next to him. âËâ§ê° áŽáOááȘ ê±âË⧠Even though Fjord could portray the persona of a calm and collected fighter, he was far from it. Under that mushy shell of suave southern charm and gentlemen' manners, was but a man. When he got to know you better, he didnt feel like he had to push up this sort of image. Originally he had met you the same way he met Jester. You had hitched a ride with the giddy blue tiefling. Trying to get away from some sort of mystery creeping up on you. Stumbling into him, he couldnât help but trip over his own two feet. He could remember seeing you, watching over as Jester was messing with a few surrounding individuals. The way the Port Damali sun shaped your ever-so-collected features. You looked so excited watching your friend (who he would get to know as Jester) using magic to play her little tricks. Something about her and you formed a bubble of thoughts in his ever-expanding curiosity. Your big bright grin almost drew him closer. With this new set of abilities recently gifted to him, this display did defiantly catch his attention Fast forwarding to the present time, after trying to travel to the goal of the Solstice Academy in Rexxentrum: now everything was uprooted after meeting the band of assholes you got to know as your newfound friends. Even though he had bumped into you two and traveled alongside the both of you for quite some time, once you joined the âMighty Neinâ your relationship grew stronger in a sense. More comfortable with friendly banter, a trust was formed. It would only grow stronger as your party became more and more active. Though you could always be assured that Fjord always showed his loyalty in more ways than one Even if it was shown in smaller, more contained doses, he could and would always be by your side. He may have had appearances to keep up but rest assured that there were some times his heart couldnât stop doing summer saults for you. With all of the chaos that rained throughout you and your parties' adventures, things got a little less hectic once you guys left the Dwendalian Empire and went down to the Menagerie Coast in Nicodranas. It was a more free-spirited atmosphere and you enjoyed the constant comfortable weather along with the wonderful ocean. Fjord was oh so overjoyed seeing you taking a liking to the place, being that you were a part of the group percentage that didnt really know of the gorgeous sandy beaches that inhabited the Menagerie Coast/Nicodranas.He could clearly tell though that you were excited about Jester meeting her mother again. You and the girl were as close as could be , you held her really close to your heart. The same went for everyone else in the group. Fjord always admired how you always had that signature friendly air around you. Even if the person is a shopkeeper or a drunk you kept constant conversation with , you were never one for a boring environment. After you all become acquainted with the Ruby of the Sea , or better known as Marion Lavorre , you all end off your official first day in Nicodranas with some very rampant shenanigans. Now with the Gentleman potentially being Jesters father? That was a lot to rap all your heads around , especially Jesters. But with the suggestions of Fjord and the rest of the party , everyone decided to head to bed with how late it was. Right as everyone was getting used to their new rooms in the Lavish Chateau , you struck up conversation with Fjord about the new realizations that came to ahead. He could clearly see how you were worried for Jester , more so around the fact that this is such new news. Fjord listened to your steady rant about how this could mean so many things. You were really just getting your thoughts out into the air , and Fjord listened to it all. He racked your brain as well , though rangled your rampant stream of thought to a stop. Saying that they can figure it out more on on a later date. Which you agreed to , apologizing for keeping him up so late. He didnât fuss though , instead giving you a warm smile and quelling your worries. He watched as you walked away , you both sharing a âgoodnightâ before hearing your door make an audible closing noise. He leaned against his door frame as he stared down that hallway of rooms , his eyes lingering on your door. Which was when he realized everything , when everything clicked together. He was in love... with you. There was nothing that stopped his brain from pointing this out , and why would he stop it? He wasnât frightened about it or nervous , just relatively happy! You were one of the strongest sparks in his life , you were tethered to him if he liked it or not. He didnât fight it at all and was just relieved to know this information. Though would he act on it? No of course , you as a group had things to do. He didnt want his feelings to blind him in any sort of way. Which meant he was going to let this meddle , keeping the new revelation close to his heart. Taking one final look at your door he would let out a content sigh before turning into bed. He would fully let sleep take over his mind , content with this day. He wasnât going to fight what he felt for you , instead embracing it. He was in love with you and.. he was okay with that. âËâ§ê° EááEK TáŒEáȘYEáá ê±âË⧠At first meeting Essek was many things. Being in the same vicinity as the âBright Queenâ and in her court already made you tremble in ferocious anxiousness. Mainly because that woman had a certain look that could impale thousands of hearts. All of a sudden , as you and the group were here to get Yussa to freedom, she sent one of her shadowhands with you to escort you down to the dungeons. A smirk caught at the tip of your lips when you all were escorted by him. The sharp-chinned drow was definitely appealing in the eyes. His calm but calculated demeanor definitely matched his voice , smooth and cold like sharp icicles. You couldnt help but giggle to yourself like a school girl inside your conciousness , though outside you made sure to keep your composure. Impressions for him were wildly different. He wasnât one for much care in this situation, following to do what he was told. Though he was definitely one that fell harder as your group became more inside his circle of faces he knew. When the group got to know him on a more personal level , so did you to him. Especially taking a liking of him , as a bright eyed explorer of the arcane. As you too shared a more ... competitive conversation in a sense after Caleb tried to convince him to the upmost charming manner (and of course succeed) , he even decided to give you some knowledge for new spells that involved Dunamancy. You were very open to every ounce of what the Dunamancy offered , no selfishness or greed at all when he explained to you some of the ties that came with those certain spells he would go on about for hours. All you did was listened , which is why you were so around him in the first place after hours. He was clearly taking a liking to you as well , again in smaller doses. But he was getting more friendly to you in his most of all Essek ways. When it wasnât Jester sharing messages over to him about what was going on with the use of âSendingâ , you would take a knack at it. One way or another you always got a comfortable chuckle out of him , already sinking your fangs into his affection. Sooner than he knew it , a burning feeling would grow in his chest. A painful , but heavy feeling emanated in his heart. His mind winced at the sudden intrusion of this but it slowly became more of a constant ... like the thought of you did in his mind. He tried to shake it off as best as he could , pushing those thoughts down into the pits with the fact that this had to mean NOTHING. It couldnât and wouldnât mean anything... or so he thought. It especially haunted his mind once he got more into his nefarious business and the situation grew more impactful so to say. The thought of hurting you and his new friendship with your group pained him. Though he had to keep faces up and work on what dealings were made with the Cerberus assembly and so on. His internal thoughts came to ahead when you and your friends found out how interloped he was with the chaos that was plagued around your every move. He couldnât help but feel oh so ashamed, with the sudden realization of the betrayal that he caused with you all. Feeling so very very idiotic as if , within his mind , burning the bridge that he had with your party.  Though to his utter surprise, your friends extended a hand out to him. A hand of both un-earthed vulnerability and understanding. Just with him coming forward about everything that was going on , his expectations for how that all was going to go down were very much flipped. Everyone shared words of encouragement with him, and words of as well - guarded forgiveness. But what you had told him most definitely left an impression on him and his mental state. The whole time when you all were talking about what he was interloped in, your eyes were trained on him and his presence. Something to say was most, of course forming in your mind. He could clearly see it as your facial features ever so slightly moved. You extended a hand to him and figuratively opened your heart up. Giving him a light at the end of the tunnel. Saying that everyone had some sort of redemption for them, especially if they decide to choose a more cleaner path. It was as if you sucked the pain out of him, that had gone widespread in his brain capsule of a head space. That once burning, aching feeling clicked in his heart. As Nott extended an invitation to the Mighty Nein, he finally realized what his brain was so panicked about. Finding a name for the one thing that especially plagued him. His love... for you. The love that kept him up at night, that had him pacing around halls when thoughts of you sprung up from his mental depths. The word repeated in his mind... love. Love love love love love, that's what it was. ï»ż                          ïčïčïč {â„} Part Two or âMollymauksâ part

i have a super long wip caleb widogast x gender neutral reader (no use of y/n, if it matters) that i was planning on finishing by the m9 animated release.
but with the strikes, it'll be a longer wait than i thought. would anyone be interested in reading it now, while we wait??
its entirely canon-compliant up until what will probably be last or second to last chapter, so it's spoiler heavy, but everything is marked with the episode it takes place in, so you can read it while you catch up on m9, if you're trying to before animated release.
#currently upwards of 25k words and its not finished soo#not smut sorry guys#mostly fluff and angst/comfort#reader character has a story of their own that intersects with caleb and jester#critical role fanfiction#caleb widogast x reader#caleb widogast#critical role c2#critical role#fanfic

Hey Poet! <3 First, thanks bunches for all that you do, your writing never fails to make me smile! If it's alright, may I please request Molly, Essek, Yasha and Caleb with a socially anxious F!teammate/friend or crush who's a half-dwarf? She usually passes for a short human, but her dwarven heritage shows in her body being hairier and a bit more thicc than the average human female, which makes her very self-conscious. Thank you and have a lovely day <3
Okay but first, you're adorable. And second, I never expected to have a request like this but I'm so so glad you sent it in. You're lovely, honey. Thank you x
~ Poet
Reassuring Fem!Reader about body hair
Caleb đ
To be honest, as perceptive as he is, it's not something Caleb ever really regarded as something to be noted or commented on. Your hair is just another part of you, another piece of your body for him to admire - it's no different to how he loves your hands, your eyes, your smile... Cough not that he's ready to admit that he loves you yet tho cough
He's always looking out for you and can just sense when you're having a bad day. He gets them too. The perfect person to talk to about anxieties or insecurities with because he can share his own experiences with you. Together, you work to fight against the niggling voices in the back of your heads and grow stronger and accept this is who you are, and that's good.
He makes more of an effort to try convey how he feels for you. His pinky shyly links with your own and he mutters something about how nice you look today, how confidence suits you. You know he means it.
-
Molly đ
Molly has never really been one to judge someone on their appearances, and you better believe he's not gonna start now. You are lovely. You are strong. You are healthy. You are so very normal (in a extraordinary way). You're hot, stop doubting yourself sm <3
King of reassurance and looking after you on days where you're less confident or more self conscious. Treats you like royalty, recommends and drags you to a spa day to treat yourself and ease your worries, make you feel pretty and comfortable in your skin.
Beauty standards and trends come and go. Your body, and the hair that comes with it, is yours for life. He wants you to learn to love it. If you let him, he sits you in front a mirror at a vanity and points out every single thing about your appearance that makes you special and beautiful and handsome. He kisses your cheek, and asks quietly for you to see yourself just as he does.
-
Yasha đ
Yasha thinks you're the cutest thing. She's quite tall, and since you're smol in comparison, it's a huge win for her. Lifts you up like you weigh nothing, more than happy to hold you on her hip or on her shoulders. Likes how the sunshine catches on your hair and skin because you practically glow.
Is kinda hairy herself and stops shaving her arms when you confide in her. She never really had a preference to having or not having hair - it was more of a habit than anything else. She wants you to know that it's completely human to be as you are, and you don't have to change for anyone. Change because you want to, not because you feel like you have to.
She thinks that no one should feel like they have to conform to societal pressures and such. It can be hard, especially in the beginning, but she's with you every step of the way to give encouragement and reassurance when you need it. Beauty comes in many shapes and sizes, and you're no exception (°^°)
-
Essek đ
Also enjoys the height difference. He's not super tall himself, but the levitation helps give the illusion that he is. Presses sweet lil kisses to your forehead when you least expect it only to see you flustered and smiley.
Hot boi finds it hard to grow hair anywhere other than the top of his head, so he actually likes the contrast between you two đ„ș You're soft and warm and he just holds you happily. There are qualities he seeks in potential partners, such as intelligence and emotional maturity and kindness. You have all of those. He likes the the shadows and the stubble and fuzz (no matter how thick) and everything that comes with you because it's you.
He also thinks it's nice that you physically show your dwarven heritage! He wants you to be happy and proud of your people, your background and where you've come from - it's just a reminder of how much he loves every single inch of you. Life is too short not to love your body, fluff and all xx

Day 19. Lycanthrope Caleb x Reader
Note(s): I never specified what type of lycanthrope for this one, but the idea of Caleb, the sad cat man, ended up as a werewolf is a bit funny to me.
@jellie-bean
âShit.â
That was the reaction of one Caleb Widogast when he realized that the âanimalâ that bit him wasnât just an animal. The first transformation took everyone by surprise and it took a bit to calm him down and deal with him.
At first, Caleb had wanted to find a cure as soon as possible, but then he realized that thereâs so much that still needs to be done and this condition of his could be helpful. For now.
âWell, youâre much calmer when you transform. Thereâs less biting and scratching,â you tell him, reporting how the latest transformation had gone. He wanted to try and control it if he was going to keep this condition. But with everyone busy with having families, you stayed to help him.
âI didnât bite you, did I?â That was the only reason he was hesitant with letting anyone else help him with this. Seeing you shake your head had him feel relief. âGood.â
He doesnât know what heâd do if he ended up hurting you.
âSo, howâs working on a cure?â You ask him. Caleb had wanted to make some kind of potion to cure his lycanthropy for when itâs no longer needed. Sure, he can ask Jester or Caduceus for help, but magic doesnât always work. So the potion is a backup. Caleb doesnât want anything to go wrong with this.
âAlright, Beauregard has been looking at various methods to curing this that doesnât involve death.â
âDeath isnât even an option,â you tell him and his eyes soften.
âI apologize, I shouldnât have joked about that.â
âOh thereâs been worse jokes made.â
Caleb smiles as you wave off his apology and he goes back to reading his books, writing notes about the transformation. He canât help but stretch and pop his back after a moment, a grunt escaping his lips.
âHow are you doing, Caleb? I know those transformations take their toll on you.â Caleb debates rather to tell the truth or change the subject to not worry you. He glances over to you and gives a small smile.
âIâve been through worse.â Your pointed look makes him sigh. âIâm always tired, even after sleeping. My bones ache more, but that could be my old age.â
âYouâre not that old.â
âNo, but I never had much strength to begin with. Transforming and forcing new muscles and having changes to my bone structure has me aching more often than not.â Caleb notices the concern on your face. âI promise you, it is not as gruesome and bad as it sounds.â
âCaleb, if this is that bad then-â
âPlease, trust me. Iâm okay.â Caleb felt some guilt for asking for your trust for this considering youâre just concerned, but he feels relief when you nod.
âAlright. But you need to take a break. Come on, a nap will do you well, old man.â Caleb chuckles as you lightly push him to his room.
âThought you said Iâm not old.â
âHush. You need sleep,â you reply, a smile on your face that has him smiling too.
Caleb feels the exhaustion hit him as he lays on the bed. He also doesnât know if heâd be able to sleep rather because of the restless beast or the nightmares.
âStay with me,â he asks, his voice a bit quiet as if he didnât expect to vocalize his want. And he didnât expect to say it. But heâs too tired to take it back.
âOf course.â Your own voice is soft and he smiles as you get under the blankets with him, wrapping your arms around him and he sighs softly. Even if his sleep is restless, heâs comforted with your presence next to him.

ooohhh i have a request? maybe one where caleb spared readerâs life when he was a volstrucker and they meet again sometime during the campaign?
Hope this is to your liking. A little angsty. đ
There is no freedom in names or titles, not for their owners nor their kin. Those who do not benefit from the protection of their resources are victims of the cause, easy targets to be exploited in the name of king and empire. These are the lessons of a Volstrucker. Caleb, no matter how much he might wish to forget them, will always carry them with him. The things he learned will forever haunt him and perhaps worst of all is still even after all these years he still resorts to those lessons for the sake of survival. It eats him up from the inside. His past is a curse upon his future and he cannot shake it. He carries the curse of being a good student; obedient and skilled, until he broke of course. There is very few flaws, even fewer falters he can recall in his time as a student. He had nearly forgotten a particular one, one he did manage to push to the deepest darkest depths of his mind be that for his protection⊠or yours⊠A brief lapse in judgement and rise in guilt conscious.Â
Many many years ago before children grew disillusioned with the ways of an empire forged on the blood of the innocent and riches of the wicked with ambitions far darker, there was one such innocent child strolling through the market greeted kindly by any who passed. Little did you know about the horrors of those you shared a very comfortable roof with. You were innocent to their choices and deeds, their aspirations and their ways. That didnât matter to the ones seeking to hold leverage over others. By simple coincidence you stumbled into a lanky boy with the bluest eyes you had ever seen and cropped ginger hair. He had a kind smile and his sheer presence radiated a warmth akin to a hearth on a winterâs day. His name was Bren. Youâd believed youâd simply run into him as he went about his day gathering supplies for his master, same as you did your household. By coincidence youâd talked about your latest reads and shared some overlap, exchanged some recommendations. It was a mere coincidence when this repeated the week after, and the next, and you seemed to enjoy each otherâs company enough to meet up for these weekly trips, until they became more frequent, almost every other day.Â
It was just a coincidence. It was a coincidence ordered to be by the poor boyâs master. You were just unfortunate enough you had people of some repute that happened to care about you a decent amount. He was ordered to get close to you and so his master would make apparent the threat to your life through your not-so-innocent close ones. When they forbade you from seeing the boy you met in the streets, they neglected to tell you the reasons and rebellious child you were, you simply snuck out to meet with Bren. He showed you some minor magics, hid the truth of his life and played you like a fiddle. He had you wrapped around his finger. You cared about him and looking back now, he cared about you. You were freedom, innocence, and good-hearted. You were everything now looking back he wanted to be. You were everything that was taken from him so cruelly under the guise of a higher purpose.Â
And then time ran out. His master had no further need for leverage and simply needed to make something very very clear; no one is untouchable. You would be the victim of this message. He would be the one to wield the weapon. He would be the one to end your life. It was his purpose after all. Your people, they were bad people. You had always just been a means to an end. If those things were true then why did his heart ache so much? Why did he not feel bitter for your happiness? Why did he feel incapable of having your blood stain his hands? You were the beginning of his end. You were the key to the truth of his disillusioned life. You didnât even know it. Still he had orders to follow. He had to be the one. Youâd sneak out of your home to go on one of your evening walks with him. You expected to be met with kind sweet Bren. Instead you were met with a soldier forged by the empire in the blood of others.Â
You walked and talked and had a good time but you felt some distance from Bren even though you held onto his arm as you observed the outskirts of Rexxentrum. You had asked him if he was alright and he had lied to your face. You could see the guilt in his eyes for lying to you but you did not read further. You didnât press the matter. It was getting late. Youâd have to cross back through some of the darker alleys if you wanted to be back on time before anyone would notice your disappearance. When you passed through the first, something felt wrong. The second alley gave you a sneaking suspense as if something would be coming but you were alone, with Bren and no one else. Speaking of Bren, he had been fiddling with something around his neck hidden beneath the neckline of his shirt and jacket.Â
âNo need to be nervous. These alleys are too abandoned for thieves and robbers. Nobody goes here at these hours. Itâd be a waste of their time.â You remarked, as if assuring him nothing would happen to the two of you, that you were in no danger out here. Thereâs a reason he chose this place for that exact reason. No one would be around at night, not until dawn upon which point your corpse would be quickly discovered. That was part of the orders; make sure the news would spread fast.Â
âYou know this city well.â He simply commented with a forced smile. Itâs then you stopped him, faced him and took his hands in yours and squeezed them. Itâs then he flinched and you felt the bandages around his wrists. You pushed up his sleeve and saw the blood though darkened and dried, stain through. You fussed about him. âPlease, donât.â He begged and you stopped. Though it wasnât his plea that made you stop. It was the cold sharp metal you felt when you checked his other arm. Your breath stalled and your eyes went wide. You looked at him.Â
âBren? Whatâs going on?â You didnât push back, not when he muttered under his breath, twisted his fingers and you felt yourself paralyse. A clever trick from his friend and fellow student; the component of this spell could double as a small weapon too. You began to panic but you couldnât move. The spell willed it so. He unsealed your fingers from his other wrist, until he was free. He grasped onto that small blade with a death grip that turned his knuckles white.Â
âIâm sorry. Iâm so sorry.â He brought the blade to your side, right between your ribs and held it there not yet breaking through fabric and skin. He couldnât. He couldnât do it. His eyes burned. The imaginary words of his master echoed through his head of what he would face should he return not just a failure but exposed. He doesnât know what he might have faced should you have ran to your family, should you have escaped and hid beyond those walls. His mission would be a failure and heâd have been made a fool. He doesnât know what would have become of him. He saw your tears beginning to cusp and roll down your cheek, your struggling breath, he saw it all. He hesitated for too long, lost track and the spell ran out. You were still frozen but not by magic. You held onto the hand with the knife. You held on so tight his fingers went numb.Â
âItâs alright, itâs alright. Just let go of the knife. Everything will be alright.â His grip loosened until you pulled the knife away from him and tossed it to the side out of reach. He made a note of where it went. You threw your arms around him and held him. You rubbed his back and cradled him to you until your knees grew weak and the both of you lowered to the dirt. You pulled back, stroked your thumb along his cheek. You might not know the details nor the reasons but you had pieced things together.
âThey-he told me to kill you.â The words are but a silent whisper, an admittance to guilt. He expected you to back off, to run while you still could. You didnât.Â
âYou havenât. Itâs okay. Just look at me.âÂ
âHe wonât let you go.â Bren begged and you just cupped his cheeks.Â
âItâs alright. Youâll do it. Youâll succeed. Itâs alright.â He stills. Freezes, like a deer caught by hunters. Youâre supposed to be the one fearing a horrid end, not him. âYouâre clever, Bren. I know this city. If I must be dead, theyâll think me dead.â Perhaps your family had instilled more values within you than he had grasped. It became clear then neither of you would be innocent children ever again, youâd always be complicit. Heâd have been your downfall either way.Â
You were clever indeed. You stayed true to your promise. You knew this city well. You knew the busy streets of the back alleys and underbellies, where no one would bat an eye at a committed crime, but the news would spread like wildfire. No secrets there. Youâd ran by the butcherâs wastes and gotten as much blood as you could from it, stained your shirt and coat with it. Heâd given you his coat to cover up. Youâd pushed the knife back up his sleeve where it had been hidden before. You went over the plan once more and then the time came.
The next events were a blur to him to he point where Caleb now does not know wether this story is one fabricated by his mind out of self-preservation, an attempt to cope with your horrid murder, or if this is true because on all accounts your murder had happened, a body was found, and there was no trace of you, not even through magical means. Only after you had screamed and cried and shouted and dragged your supposedly bleeding body into the darkness as he had ran the weight around his neck felt much lighter, the chain and amulet that resided there before had disappeared. You must have taken it when you had embraced him, must have done so as a safety precaution or something. You always were clever. You were never seen again and the story turned as following; a poor innocent child of a reputable family wandered into a bad part of town and met an untimely end at the hands of discontent citizens. You were mourned. His master was proud of him and he could forget this whole ordeal. They congratulated him on being a murderer. Soon after he would commit the sin that would break him.Â
Much time has passed since then. Bren died a long time ago. Caleb survives now with all the heartache and regret of the life before, the one he so desperately tried to shake but never seemed able to. It took him a long time to open up to his goblin companion, and even when he told his story to the Mighty Nein he still kept many secrets. Slowly his walls came down, slowly the doubt ebbed away until one fateful day in Nicodranas. His curiosity had gotten the better of him. That magic tower in the city called his attention as did the mind and resources of Yussa Errenis. When he spotted a familiar handwriting among the works of Yussa, he thought nothing of it but that handwriting would plague his mind for weeks to come until his next visit where he got confirmation. Without warning the Mighty Nein had used the teleportation circle. Without warning they had been escorted outside but in passing Caleb spotted a familiar being in the sitting room, simply reading.Â
It was you, undoubtedly. You had gotten older, same as he has. Thatâs what the years do to a person. Youâre no longer children. You look like youâve faced the hardships of life but youâve overcome them too. When your eyes met his, he expected something like anger or fear but instead he saw intrigue. Youâd made up some bullshit excuse for Wensforth to see to other business and oversaw their escorting out of the tower personally. He was the last one out. You stopped him. You toyed with something around your neck. It reminds him of how he sometimes used to fiddle with the identical version he hides beneath his layers when no one is watching. Heâd paid for his in blood. Youâd paid for yours with your life. What a cruel thing.Â
âIt seems our paths cross again, Bren. Different tidings this time I hope.â You speak to him before he crosses the threshold. He looks at you before he goes, in a way Caleb is not known to look anyone in the eye. The others know he avoids eye contact whenever he can. You were a strange exception they definitely had some questions and opinions about. Especially since they couldnât hear your conversation.Â
âCaleb Widogast.â He corrects. âDifferent tidings.â He nods.Â
âWell then, Caleb Widogast, how about an evening walk? For old timeâs sake?â You suggest and Caleb finds himself smiling lightly. He nods.Â
âFor old timeâs sake.â He repeats to himself. âIâll see you tonight?â You smile.Â
âYo, did Widogast just score a date-â Fjord covers Beauregardâs mouth before she can continue. You shake your head and close the invisible door as Caleb exits. Itâs been a while.Â

Top five pairings!
BLESS YOU for giving me an excuse to post about my Blorbos. đđ„șđ You have my eternal love and gratitude. I know I write mostly Reader fic, but that is a very recent development in nearly 3 decades of fandom and shipping (and mostly due to my need for adoration of Andy Serkis). I am, at my heart, a hopeless romantic that loves good chemistry and potential and yearning and angst and two idiots finding each other in spite of everything.
That being said, this was SO GODDAMNED HARD, HOLY SHIT!! đ I went with my current Top 5 because narrowing it down was too much. And I'm sure I missed something obvious because my brain is a scrampled egg sitting inside of a metal colander.

- Gashir (Elim Garak x Julian Bashir, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) (bonus Spirk mention, but that's just a given if you're a Trekkie)
- Stony (Steve Rogers x Tony Stark, Marvel)
Dang that's a lot of slash. đ
I swear I have other ships! Like VillainEve (Villainelle x Eve from Killing Eve), J7 (Janeway x Seven in Star Trek: Voyager), Imodna (Imogen x Laudna, Critical Role Campaign 3), and Eyk x Maura (1899). ((LOOK AT ME CHEATING SOME MORE đ))
#asks#anon#tara's top five#thank you đ#i wanted to include halsin x tav and charon x lone wanderer#but i feel like rpgs like that are sort of reader fic adjacent#because they're so customizable#this is a SHAME FREE ZONE#i apologize for nothing#laughing that two fifths of my ships have a character played by liam o'brien#quiobi#starbreaker#shadowgast#dorym#lokius

Hello there can I request a reader whose a bard and they're trying to flirt with the Mighty Nein through song since they don't know how to flirt and try to flirt through Muisc
Oh I love this idea!! âš
Masterlist 11
âFlirtingâ as a bard would includeâŠ
Jester, Nott/Veth, Caleb immediately know what youâre trying to say, pulling you in for a hug and maybe sneak a kiss
Fjord is of course flattered with your choice of song and dance, especially if you add elements of a sea shanty to it
Essek tries to keep his cool composure but you see a raspberry tint to his cheeks as he sinks into his chair
It takes a while for Cadeuces to understand who youâre referring to before you point at him in the âyouuuuu đâ lyrics
Yasha and Beau are the types to swing you into a dance mid-song
Meanwhile, Mollymauk is only adding fuel to the fire by still trying to flirt with you incessantly
