Fandom: Critical Role / Legend of Vox Machina

Character(s): Percival Fredrickstein Von Whatever Whatever De Rolo III

Note(s): I have no idea what possessed me to write this. Here I am looking for cute, fluffy things and trying to decide who to write for when all of a sudden The Changebringer took the wheel. Here's some Hurt/Comfort with Percy set during the Chroma Conclave stuff but no campaign spoilers (just mentions of things that have happened already in the TV series)

"Are you okay?"

Percy rolls his eyes at the question as if it's the dumbest thing anyone has asked him. And honestly, in this moment, it might be. He's had his family almost wholly taken from him. A demon pretty much had him under possession at some point, attempting to kill those he cared about because of his damn pride and need for revenge. Dragons are every-fucking-where, and he's just a human with a gun.

"Yeah, I'm perfectly fine, just like the sky is green. Next question," he mutters, tone his usually casual with a hint of frustration.

"Percival-"

"How I'm doing is pointless. Caring about me right now is pointless. Who gives a shit if I'm okay. How about you ask the people of Whitestone, who have been under the thumb of a vampire for years? How about you ask those that lost their homes to dragon fire, acid, ice, and every other bullshit element under the sun. I am fine." It's been a while since he's let out his feelings. Since he's spoken and the weight he's carried seemed to drain a bit. Since he's felt tired.

It's silent for a moment. And usually, he would turn around and stomp off to go sulk. But he doesn't because he feels bad. Who the fuck are you to make him feel bad?

"I'm sorry. It's just… It's a lot happening, and I don't know if I will ever be okay," he admits with a sigh. And now you're silent and he's feeling even worse. Out of all the blasted emotions, guilt must have been created by the Hells.

"Percy, you're allowed to be tired. You're allowed to be angry and frustrated. You're allowed to want to scream and punch in someone's face." He can't help but chuckle a bit at your last words. He'd rather shoot someone in the face, he might break a nail if he punched someone.

"Am I? I'm part of a small group of people who seem to be the only ones able to do anything against all of this. Am I really allowed when so many are looking at us for guidance? How fucked must the world be that we're their last hope." There's a dry sense of humor in his words, and you shake your head at them, but he knows you have the same tired amusement that he does.

"Yes, you are. And if they don't like it then they can kiss your ass."

"Most people are unworthy of kissing my ass."

"There's the bitchy noble I know."

He makes a face at you when you call him that, but it doesn't hold up as more amusement takes its place and he shakes his head. His arm moves to land on your shoulder, initially just wanting to hold you for support before the rest of his body treacherously pulls you in for a hug, holding you tight.

"I'm not okay, my love. I was truthful earlier with not knowing if I can be. But thank you for still staying with me. Despite me being a… bitchy noble." You chuckle at the huff he lets out with those last two words, but it puts him at ease.

"You might not be okay now, but we'll get through this. Yeah?"

"Yeah. You, me, and this group of assholes that we travel with for some godforsaken reason." You laugh again and he smiles more, feeling that diminishing weight vanishing for just this moment.

Babe I'm back with some more yandere requests and have more coming. Yandere vox machina headcanons where there darling gets kidnapped. They literally look away for like 5 seconds and they are just gone, like they were just yoinked

Yahooo!!!! 🙌💞🤲💕 gimme that goodness!! 🫨

Masterlist 11

Keyleth

Her worries and concerns are already heightened as is, but the anger and frustration cracks through to search for you. If this after the Aramente/Voice of the Tempest, no continent is safe in the search for you

Scanlan

He can have a vengeful side if need be, and you being taken away so swiftly warrants that. The gnome bard is very much a “punch first, ask questions later” type when it comes to you missing

Vex’ahlia

It was painstakingly obvious how much you meant to her, and with you kidnapped, the possessiveness has only grown. Too many good things have slipped away or almost slipped away from her, but she won’t let you be another one. It’s not a matter of if, but when she ultimately finds you.

Grog

All he can feel is the rage boiling through his veins at your disappearance. The others, especially Pike, are barely hanging onto him by a thread. The sooner you’re found, the better

Pike

A foolish choice on the kidnapper’s part to kidnap you from her, especially since she is a cleric for a Goddess of divine retribution! If you’re ever found, there’s no way Pike is letting you out of her sight(s)

Percy

“Soul is forfeit” dialed up all the way to a x10000! His anger and frustration is the entire mask for his overwhelming despair to where you are. Who dares to take you from him? How can he save this world if you’re not in it?

Vax’ildan

Oooh you know he’s abusing the heck out of that Champion privilege! Someone dumb enough thought to hurt the significant other of a literal death demigod?? He’d rather sooner see you safe before exacting retribution

[railroad-migraine]

In honour of Legend of Vox Machina coming out, can we have a Percy x (fem/gender neutral) reader with the prompt "You feel like home to me." Maybe reader also lost their home (or they were from Whitestone too)

'Welcome Home'

-> Percy x GN!Reader

Notes: Angst and fluff, hurt comfort. I started writing this piece in January 2022. As of June 2023, I have now watched TLOVM. Sorry it took a while Anon, but I wanted to save your lovely request for when I eventually got into Vox Machina 💙 Can be read as platonic or romantic

~ Poet

*****

It wasn't meant to be like this.

Things had not gone to plan. What was the plan, you say? That is debatable depending on who you'd ask.

To start, Vax was unfortunately spotted skulking around the enemy's camp. That then lead to small confrontation, one that he'd be fine to handle all by himself, one where he was suspiciously poked and prodded at innocently, but Keyleth instinctually stepped in to save him - thus getting the whole party involved and quickly overwhelmed. It was manageable until the exact moment where Grog lopped off the head of one of the bandits.

To put it simply, all hell broke loose and it all went to shit.

However, in the end, when the bandits lay dead and smloldering by the campfire, it was a victory for Vox Machina.

A victory, maybe. But not quite a win.

Wounds were in need of tending to, and Pike was far too exhausted to treat everyone. Camping in the woods did not seem to be the best option, the trees offering little cover, and neither did the cliff face nearby. Frustrated, tired, hungry - voices raising at each other prickled the hairs at the back of your neck and you knew you had to step up. To be the adult.

"There is a village," you start, but no one chooses to listen, your voice just another one in the argument.

"There is a village," you repeat, a little more firm and insistant, and the others begin to withdraw, eyes falling onto you, "not far from here. I- I didn't mention it before because it doesn't belong on the map. Not anymore, at least.

"We can go there, set up camp, sit down and just shut up for a few hours," you sigh.

Most of the party look hesitant but Scanlan raises a brow and shrugs with an easy nonchalance that you envy. "If you say it's safe, I'm down."

It wasn't meant to be like this.

"It is." You hope. "I promise.

Percy watches you carefully, the fading light of the Sun behind him casting shadows on his face, sharpens his already sharp jawline even further until it cuts into his coat's collar. Something dangerous in his expression. "Lead on, then," but he doesn't sound convinced.

And so you lead your friends to the home and earth that once nurtured your childhood, the very same that you abandoned all those years ago in favour of adventure.

You were still young. Like a child, scarrless, soft, green and new to the greater world that waited for you beyond your doorstep.

It wasn't meant to be like this, you think as you fall to your knees, taking in the grim sight before you. It's hard to tell what exactly happened, whether the homes had been raided and intentionally burned down, or if it had been a simple accident and the townspeople luckily fled somewhere safe.

How long had it been since you left home? What seemed like yesterday were many, many months for your people, and anything can happen in that time apart.

But you never expected to be returning home to a graveyard.

It wasn't meant to be like this.

"I'm sorry."

You sniffle and quickly wipe your nose with the sleeve of your shirt, choking back a bitter laugh. "Percy." He pulls his mouth into a straight line, a grimace of sorts. "You can be a thorn in my side at times, but why should you be sorry?"

He shifts his weight on his feet. "Because... because it's what people might have said to me when I was in a similar state. I'm not sure if it would ever have made me feel better, but I suppose it shows some level of... respect. Condolences. Comfort, sometimes. Or so I've heard."

He pulls his coat tighter around his torso, the bite in the air unforgiving even as you mourn for your childhood home while your knees press into dirt. You risk a glance up at his face, and his forlorn expression shatters your already broken heart. He feigns a weak smile, and ducks his chin in sympathy. "It's not for everyone, I suppose."

It's a cold comfort as your grip on the ashes of your home loosens, and slips through your fingers, like sand lost in the wind.

Percy says your name, clear and grounding, and you manage to tear your gaze from what's left of your history. "Look at me." You crane your neck to look to where he looms over your hunched form. "Home is a feeling... I know that more than anybody."

Slowly, so slowly and gentle as if caught in slow motion, he crouches down to meet your height. He appraises you for a hesitant moment, then reaches out to wipe a tear that trails down your cheek, one that you had accidentally neglected. It smears across your skin smoothly, leaving a clean line in the thin layer of dust you had acquired since the battle and trek over here.

He looks at you softly, and you nearly sob from the incredible amount of emotions you feel all at once. You grip his hand like a lifeline and press it into your face so that you can lean into the comfort he's providing, and a shudder washes over you at the warmth radiating from his glove.

Percy nudges your chin up with his free hand, and you have no choice but to meet his watery eyes.

"And you feel like home to me."

In that moment, you know you feel the same for him.

With Your Permission

A Percy De Rolo x Reader, Featuring Vax'ildan as your brother!

requested by the amazing @syth-de-rolo

"It'll be fine." Taking a deep breath, Percy did his best to convince himself things would go well, keeping his composure. But in truth, he was a nervous wreck.

It was super simple, it should be easy, he went over what he'd say a million times, but still he was almost sure it wouldnt go how he'd thought.

Standing outside Vax'ildan's room, he took one more deep breath, raising his hand and lightly knocking on the door. At this point it was clear to the party how much you and percy loved each other, even more so obvious to your brother, who'd already opened the door before percy could even finish knocking.

"Ah-Hello four eyes, did you need something?" he asked, chuckling a bit at the fact that they surprised each other.

"yes-" percy cleared his throat and adjusted his glasses, a bit out of nervous habit at this point. "i wanted to ask you something, its a bit important, if you dont mind me taking up a bit of your time."

Vax's eyes shifted past percy, over his shoulder towards...Keyleth's room, before he shrugged and stepped aside with a nod to let percy inside. "alright then, freddy, what is it?" he asked, still using nicknames.

"well..." percy started, stepping into vax's room and going over the question in his head once more as the door shut behind him. "you see...I'm thinking of asking (name) to marry me-"

a noise came from vax, almost like he had nearly just choked on air. "wait wait, youre what?" he asked, a bit surprised by the sudden announcement of percy planning to propose to his sibling. "dont you think vex would be better to speak to for advice on things like that?"

"well no, you two are closer. and its not exactly advice im looking for. Vax'ildan, I'm asking for your blessing to marry them." Percy clarified, already feeling embarrassment rise up as his face got a little pink. "if its alright...With your permission-" he tried to reiterate or rephrase what he said but stumbled over his words.

"I got it Percy." Vax stopped him. "I honestly should have expected that to come from you, but you still managed to catch me off guard." he chuckled.

vax making the moment a bit more light hearted somehow did not ease percy's anxiousness over things. "right well...i just wanted to be sure everything was alright with you, seeing as youre siblings and very close at that, and i value your opinion." he started rambling again.

"Percival." Vax stopped him again. "You don't need my permission to marry my sibling, you both make each other very happy, they love you, anyone with eyes can see that. So of course i'm alright with it, my friend and my sibling getting married is more than fine by me."

Percy let out a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding this whole time. "thank you."

"of course." he placed a hand on percy's shoulder, his face going from a smile to a more serious look that immediately brought back percy's nervousness. "but know that if you hurt them, de rolo, i will hunt you down and make your life hell." like a flip of a switch vax's smile was back. "not that you'll need to worry about that, you make them very happy, i'm sure they'll be overjoyed at your proposal."

"you really think so? I'm not even sure they'll say yes." percy admitted, ignoring the threat he just got from Vax a mere second ago.

"Well I am, i know they love you. especially with all those looks you both keep giving each other when you think none of us are looking." he teased, nudging percy's arm with his shoulder, successfully embarrassing the gunslinger.

"yes we...thank you Vax'ildan." percy gave a small smile. "I'll stop taking up your time and let you get back to trying to sneak into Keyleth's room." he teased back as he headed out, leaving vax-who thought he was being smooth-flustered and stammering to try and come up with an excuse.

Percy with a touch starved reader

percy x touch starved reader headcanons!

you for whichever reason are touch starved, maybe youre a physically affectionate person by nature and didnt get that growing up but either way you crave physical touch a lot

percy on the other hand doesnt, not that he doesnt like physical touch, he just doesnt crave it like you do he'll initiate things, like putting a hand on someone's shoulder etc, he doesnt shy from touch so he has no issue with a partner who is physically affectionate

he'll likely do something casual like hold your hand while youre walking and you being touch starved, you melt right into him, leaning on him if you can.

he'll notice the change and ask if youre alright but wont make a big deal out of it he doesnt mind if you feel the need to lean on him for support or just want to be a little more affectionate than holding hands

but if you ask him for more affection, like ask him for a kiss he'll give you a quick kiss in the cheek, temple or forehead and keep going doesnt quite understand that youre touch starved

he's not exactly shy from pda, but he is a more private person and would rather give you more affection and touch when youre alone but he'll still give you plenty of little touches throughout the day/in public

when he catches on that youre touch starved he has no problem making sure you always get enough touch when you need it hugs, kisses, letting you lean on him whatever you'd like hes happy to show you how much he loves you

hes very sweet with it, he'll try to be subtle about it but he's really not everyone can see how affectionate you guys are and scanlan will make suggestive jokes about it

he loves giving you the little touches through the day though a hand on your shoulder or hand in yours a quick kiss a hand on the side of your face when hes making sure youre okay he doesnt realize it but he finds it very comforting too

at the end of the day he will be very happy to let you cuddle up to him wrap his arms around you and have you lay your head on his chest if its been a bad day and you dont mind it he'll lay his head on your chest instead

you both find touch reassuring and comforting it just doesnt bother him if he doesnt get too much touch for a while he will miss your touch after a while but he's happy with giving you a kiss or hug then he's fine he knows its not the same for you though and he's fine giving you as much touch as you need when he can

if you get split up for a while and finally reunite and have a minute he'll open his arms and/or pull you in close and hold you maybe take a sec or two to kiss you but is very happy to just hold you and make sure youre okay now that you have a minute

if he gets overwhelmed by the touch he'll ask carefully for a bit of space for a bit will still want you nearby or needs to know where you'll be but he will need a bit to just not be touched doesnt mind if you hold his hand he'll just ask you not to hug him for a bit. it doesnt last the whole day, when he's overwhelmed by touch he just needs a breather might be a bit too much going on and needs a little walk or fresh air so he can process but its all fine

over all he'd be happy showing you plenty of physical affection in his own way its a win win, he can be physically affectionate and youre touch starved he loves spoiling his partner and showing how much he cares and loves that you trust his touch and you melt into him when he gives it to you

expect a lot of teasing from the party for a while until your affectionate relationship becomes just apart of things they will tease and joke for a while they mean well though, they'll tell you guys how cute it is

once more to see you (part 4)

Fandom: TLoVM, Critical Role

Pairing: Percy x Fem!Reader

Word count: 2331

a/n: sorry this took so long!!! work is hell and this is my only respite. this chapter was a fucking monster to write. not much percy stuff happens here, there's keyleth and vex interactions, but mostly just me agonizing about how long my own writing takes. anyway, here's part 4 WHOOOOOOOOO

tags for @bollur @catching-fire-in-the-wind @somekale08

Although mornings at Creekside are cold, you’ve already slept in way later than you normally would, on top of the fact that you never made it to your bedroom and just fell asleep at your desk. And as much as the realization of someone covering you with a blanket while you were asleep makes for quite the mystery, keeping the hearth alive at this hour will only make the workshop unbearably warm.

After dousing the hearth, you try to make yourself more presentable with a basin of water and some clean rags before reentering the Manor, but there’s only so much that and Prestidigitation can do. However, you did manage to finally finish enchanting those bracers before eventually passing out. You pick them up with your spellbook and arcane focus as you leave your workshop.

As you exit, you notice Percival’s desk is tidier than you last saw it. Fuck. And as you close the door behind you, the now corrected sundial on the pedestal enters your vision. Double fuck.

You take a deep breath to steel yourself, then cast another Prestidigitation for good measure to clean up and look as dignified as possible in this state. Then you walk towards your sundial, taking each step deliberately, the feeling of a blanket carefully covering your shoulders still fresh in your mind. Coming to a halt at the face of your sundial, you place your personal effects on its surface and open your spellbook to look for a particular ritual.

Your hands trace old, familiar gestures in the air as you mutter the spell in Elvish. A low glow of bluish white light emanates from your hands and the ground around the pedestal. In an instant, you detect traces of magic that aren’t your own slowly dissipating from the earth around the base of the pedestal. Huh. You weren’t expecting Druidic magics, considering you’ve only disclosed this adjustment with Percival, whom you assumed didn’t possess any arcane ability. You also didn’t expect the Air Ashari druid, whom you now remember is called Keyleth. Maybe she was just that attuned to nature to know the points of a compass and the relationship of this sundial with the sun, you think. It’s not convincing enough for you, but it’s better than letting the mind wander another direction. Either way, you owe her a thanks and a favor.

On the way back up to your personal chambers, you recast the Manor’s protective spells. They’ve been set up by your parents and grandparents for years. And though their power is beyond your own capability, the constant repetition has made it easy enough to maintain these wards in the Manor. The walls hum low, a sound you’ve only learned to perceive after months of casting these spells, and the feeling of being home, safe, rushes into your soul anew.

Upon reaching the top landing of the stairs and finishing your warding, you catch the half-elf ranger and Percival watching you. You nod at them and clear your throat and try to tuck any stray hairs you may have missed earlier. 

“Please excuse me for not joining you for breakfast today. I’m a little out of sorts,” you say as you start to walk toward them. You notice the half-elf subtly elbow Percival, who makes a slight furrow in his brow at this.

“Would you like to have our cleric help with that? I’m sure Pike won’t mind.” You’re racking your brain now, trying to dig up what the ranger’s name is. You didn’t expect to be talking to her much, but being a host to a number of guests, two of which are twins with similar names, it seems like you’ve got to keep up with their affairs much more than you thought.

“Oh, no dear, I’m just—” a deep exhale, “I just need to freshen up. I fell asleep at the workshop,” you finish in a whisper and offer a meek smile, as if that would alleviate your slight lack of personal decorum.

You see both of them surreptitiously shoot a look at each other at the same time. It would be hard to notice if only they weren’t the only two other people and they weren’t standing directly in front of you. Oddly enough, Percy starts to flush a little as the ranger – fuck, was it Vax? Vex? Vox? No, that’s not right – looks at him a little smugly, like she just accidentally stumbled upon a secret. 

“Of course, of course. Your work at the council must be quite exhausting on top of your own personal affairs.”

Ah, shit, Vex! Vex’ahlia! That’s it! Paying more attention to the half-elf now, you notice her more pointed look at Percival at the mention of “affairs.” If you’d have known better, you’d say it was quite playful in a manner that’s difficult to pin down.

“Must be hard to balance, I’m sure,” Vex’ahlia continues. “Percival is much the same; just last night he insisted on squeezing in some more time in the workshop even after we came back late.”

Triple fuck. This is damning, you think, hoping to every benevolent god listening that your face isn’t giving anything away. If you weren’t too busy mentally chastising yourself, you’d catch Percy turn a touch more red. You’d even see him shoot quite a venomous look at Vex. But you don’t see any of that, and decide the best plan of action is to get your face out of their sight as fast as possible.

“Thank you for the offer on behalf of your cleric.” The words couldn’t get out of your mouth much faster than you’d have liked without stumbling over them. Assuring both yourself and the ranger, “Not to worry, I’ve handled myself in much worse states.”

You put on a gentle smile and start to make your way past them toward your bedroom. Percival and Vex’ahlia make way for you to walk in between them, and you offer a small kind nod for the gesture.

As you get closer to Percy, that pit in your stomach earlier today makes its presence known once more. The blanket, the hearth, the desk, the workshop, the sundial — the sundial.

Surprising yourself, you stop mid stride and put a hand on Percival’s arm. Your own surprised face is already past their sight behind them. You find yourself leaning a little to whisper, “Please tell Keyleth I would like to speak with her.”

The tiniest of moments pass. A warm buzzing feeling runs the length of your body under your skin — from the point where your hand touches Percy’s arm, round the nape, and back. A moment longer and you’d have to reckon with the knowledge that all three of you in this hallway, you, Percival, and Vex’ahlia, are feeling some sort of tension yet to be named. You dare not turn your head.

The moment passes. Your hand gives a gentle pressure on the arm it’s touching. “Thank you.” And you rush to your room, the small wind brushing past your face not enough to compete with the growing warmth on them. You hear Vex’ahlia and Percival stepping back into their conversation as you reach your chambers and shut the door behind you.

—

It’s a slow day in town. The council is predisposed to delay much of regular work until Vox Machina deals with the scourge that plagues the waters of Creekside. And the people in town don’t want for a lot as you and the rest of the town mages and the guild got ahead of the problem before it grew worse and affected much of the town’s resources. Hopefully, it will last long enough for Vox Machina to finish their job.

And besides, you’d rather study your brand new-ish (and properly working) sundial. So you ride home early.

Early enough to catch Vox Machina just getting ready to make their way out of the Manor’s grounds.

Ah. Fuck, I guess.

Thank goodness only the twins and bear seem to have noticed you first. You steady your horse’s speed to a walk, looking for the Air Ashari in their group. Might as well get something done now than later.

As you approach, you spot the shock of white hair beside the redhead with antlers in the midst of their group. Then you see Vex’ahlia walk towards Percival and Keyleth, though you cannot make out what they’re talking about. You dismount from your horse a couple of paces away from them, and walk towards Keyleth.

“Can I borrow you for a moment, dear?”

You watch as Percival and Keyleth both turn around to look at you. Vex is slyly grinning just a step behind them.

“They mean you, Keyleth,” Vex politely nudges her.

Keyleth throws a questioning look at you, then at Percival and Vex, who both give her nods of varying degrees of convincing, and walks towards you.

“This won’t be long, I promise,” you reassure her and the rest of Vox Machina as you guide Keyleth a few steps away for some privacy. You hear the rest of them start making their way to leave.

Keyleth is standing in front of you a little shyly, like she doesn’t know what to do with her arms. “Percy said you wanted to talk to me?” she says, more like a question than a statement.

You can’t help but give a lighthearted chuckle at her concern. “Dear, don’t worry, I just wanted to thank you.”

Keyleth looks surprised at this. “Um, thanks? I mean, you’re welcome.” The smile that appears on her face shows just how young she truly is. The concerned look is gone but she still looks a little confused. “For what exactly?”

“For your skill and trouble. I could have looked for a small cantrip to try and move the ground, but even then, I wouldn’t have figured out where to point the darned thing. Nature isn’t in my field of expertise.”

Finally, a look of understanding dawns on Keyleth’s face. You continue.

“I guess being a druid helps with directions. That helps with figuring out why my sundial was misaligned, huh?”

And her face reverts back to bafflement. You can practically hear the gears turning in her head as she makes odds and ends of your conversation. “Oh. Oh. No, I didn’t — I didn’t know that.”

What?

“Then how — but I checked the ground and I saw traces of druid magic, your magic.”

She’s probably just being modest, right?

“I only know arcane spells; it couldn’t have been me or anyone from the Manor. Your power is quite distinct.”

Definitely just a modest young lady. What a gem.

Keyleth’s face flushes at your compliment and she stands a little straighter, prouder. A small breeze even whisks past you both. “I mean, yeah, I did move the earth a little, but because Percy told me to.”

Again, what?

“Ah,” was all you could manage to squeak out. “Percy.” A weird mix of astonishment, ill-founded conclusions, and that fading pit of denial began swirling in your head.

“Yeah, he told me to point it north. He said it was a sort of timekeeper? I don’t know how that makes sense. But I’m glad it works now!” She seems like a very cheery person. How did this ray of sunshine end up with this band of misfits?

“It tracks the time of day with the shadow from the sun,” you explain. “Percy actually noticed it was facing the wrong way. I mean, I knew it was set wrong, I just didn’t know how to fix it right. I’m not great with nature. But he did. Know how to fix it, is what I meant.”

You’re rambling now. For some unnameable reason, finally getting to say Percy’s name, not Percival, feels like a weird kind of high. Like electric carbonation and sweets going down your throat. You feign a small cough to reset yourself. Thank goodness Keyleth is likely just as bumbly as you are with certain conversations.

Keyleth chuckles now. “Well, he is clever. Just sometimes too clever for his own good.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, for someone who prides himself on wit, he can be really thick in the head sometimes.”

You chuckle, too. “Well, that’s the price of intelligence, I suppose.”

Poking good-natured fun at Percival brings a feeling of candor and friendliness between both of you. It’s nice. You see the earlier confusion from Keyleth is fully gone and replaced with her fondness for ribbing her friend. 

You clear your throat again, noticing the rest of Vox Machina is already making good distance from where you both stand. “You should go along before your friends get too far ahead. Again, thank you. If you need anything, please let me know. I owe you a favor.”

Keyleth beams. “Thank you. I mean, thank you. For thanking me.”

You reach out to shake her hand, but she goes for a hug, then stops midway when she sees what you were trying to do. You give Keyleth a hug anyway, because why not. The antlers and her staff present a slight encumbrance, but the hug is not as awkward as it looks.

“You should thank Percy too!” she mumbles before breaking the embrace.

Oh, great, an excuse to indulge my crush on this man. Pass.

“I’ll, um, I’m sure you can just tell him for me, dear.”

Keyleth’s smile is still bright as ever. “I think you should tell him yourself. He really likes your workshop,” she says before starting to walk towards the rest of Vox Machina.

Only then, you notice Vex’ahlia who stayed behind to wait for Keyleth, standing at a distance and observing you both, perhaps the entire time you two were talking. That same friendly, wily smile she was aiming at Percy earlier is now directed at you.

You wave good-naturedly at both of them before taking your horse back to the stables. And you hope to high heavens that she didn’t hear a word of what you said.

PART 1 PART 2 PART 3

[sir-phillip-crane]

Hello! If your able to, would you do a prompt for lovm? The characters would be Percy, Vax, and Scanlan (separate) x reader(gn).

The prompt idea is that the reader has a scar on their arm somewhere and the other person accidentally grabs on that part of the arm, causing the reader to shove them away and look startled/scared for a moment. But after a second they calm down and act that it never happened and if asked by them they get unnaturally cold towards them and continue to say it didn't happen.

thanks for the request!!! requests are open and absolutely encouraged!

Scanlan

The performer’s core belief is that no one should ever be ashamed of themselves, especially physical appearance- wise.

He preforms at every tavern and inn you all end up in, and he absolutely loves to drag all of you into it. He’ll coax the twins up by pitting them against each other, or Keyleth up by asking her to druidcraft something small for his performance. And you are absolutely one of VM, which makes you someone who is at the mercy of his desire for friends to join him.

It’s an insanely busy bar, rowdy, drunk off their asses customers basically throwing silver at Scanlan for another song. Vex adores what money you’ve made so far, so she’ll encourage it! Whatever the bard wants for his show, he fuckin gets.

If that includes you on stage; no isn’t an option.

Middle of one of his songs and he’s standing on the table you’re sitting at. He grabs your arm and tries to pull you up, like he’s done a million times before with most of the team.

Except, unlike the rest of the team, you pull away and practically jump out of your skin. He’s seen the scars but had pretty much ignored them up until now.

He’ll try to wrap it up, which does take a while because Vex basically refuses to let him stop.

By the time he wraps up the performance, all of VM, including yourself, are tired af.

So, it isn’t until the next morning he brings it up. He tries to get you to talk to him about it – despite his usual flirtiness and general chaotic air, he’s just worried about you.

You basically insist that it didn’t happen. Again, and again, and again.

Scanlan himself is smart enough, sometimes, to just drop it. You act rude and cold and he’s not used to it, so he drops it.

That being said, if you want to ever tell him, he’s there to listen and try to make jokes to lighten the mood.

Percy von keysmash

Percy is definitely not somebody who is going to grab at any of VM, even if they’re his family at his point. After what he and Cassandra went through – abused and tortured at the hands of the Briarwoods – he knows what it’s like to not enjoy being touched.

Hell, first time he touched Cassandra without warning, she went catatonic for ten minutes.

If Vex or Keyleth or Scanlan or any of the team wants to grab him, eh, he doesn’t like it, but he’ll let it happen.

But things go the way they do, and it’s life or death.

Percy acts quicker than he thinks, and when one of Vex’s arrows goes astray, he grabs your wrist and pulls you out of the way just in time for it to nick you in the shoulder instead of right in your chest.

When you react by pulling away, looking at him like he’s the enemy, he knows something’s wrong.

But it’s the middle of a fight and he couldn’t care less at the moment.

However, after the fight, when the team is sitting and kicking their wounds, he’ll approach you and ask what’s going on.

He… well, he expected you to avoid the question. God knows he’s reacted the same when asked about the Briarwoods and his family and Orthrax and- all of it.

He just nods and will sit next to you, share some rations, and call Pike or Kiki over for some healing.

If you ever want to tell him about it, that’s good. If you don’t, that’s good too. You’re still his family and he loves you.

Vax’ildan

Vax definitely saw your scars at some point, but pretty quickly dismissed it. He had plenty of scars on his hands and wrists from when he was first learning to use knives (or, admittedly, picking fights with his deadbeat father).

He knows Vex has some too from mishaps from archery practice.

Once, he had almost stabbed himself in the eye. He didn’t find it funny then, but he does now.

So, honestly, he hadn’t thought much of it.

That is, until he offhandedly grabbed your arm. You had immediately pulled away from him.

He was a bit taken aback, but, eh, okay. Sometimes scars feel weird when they’re touched.

“Sorry, darlin. My nerves are fried right here,” and he will show off his dagger cuts, “I get it.”

Truly, to him, all it is are scars. He’ll gladly show off some of his and make up grandiose stories about them.

Stories about them that were immediately debunked by Vex yelling “that’s a lie!”

He won’t touch your arm again, but he’ll gladly offer up some bandages or dressings if you’d like to cover your scars.

He might prompt you a little bit about them, but if you don’t want to talk about it and make it obvious that you don’t want to, then he won’t ask again.

Ok I keep re-reading your yandere Vox Machina stuff and I need more. Would it be ok to ask for a platonic yandere ask? Like what would they be like to a young witch who uses a bunch of wild magic?(going owl house theme) Even having an owl palimen.

Oooh I love this for two reasons!

I’ve always been curious how things would be with a mage in the main party line-up

Even platonic makes my head go “brrrr!!”

Vex’ahlia

There’s a fascination with the free range nature of how your magic works, the intensity of it all resonating with Vex, even when she strings her new bow 🏹. Both as a joke and for more personal reasons, she insists you stay by her at all times while riding the broom

Pike

It’s not something she’s used to at first but she can’t help but become fond of your abilities, hoping to convince you enough to be a follower of her patroness

Keyleth

Together, you two have the potential to be the most powerful duo on the battlefield, the tattoos she gives you a personal reminder that she’s found an equal

Vax’ildan

He’s still figuring out how to be better at his abilities and you are a deliverance he never expected but fiercely adores. Mutual respect and a one-sided infatuation can go a long way

Grog

Your magic is different than Pike’s but it takes too much of an effort from you than he likes. One too many times someone tried to attack you mid-spell, leading to them meeting a fatal end at the edge of his sword and axe

Scanlan

At first it was him vs your palisman because they constantly want to take up your attention, but the bard purposely lets his stuff get stolen by your familiar as long as it means he gets to spend more time with you

Percy

Your magic is equally entrancing as it is unnerving to him, but there’s a man odd comfort to it. He had more than enough strife with Orthax but you are a comfort to the fears he’s had before in his line work

[demigoddessqueens]

Okay, so my little dnd character right now is an elven pirate and I was wondering if you could do a headcanons list for Percy (Vox Machina) with her?

Not her specifically, just a fem elf pirate?

Thank you!

Ahh that’s such a cool idea I love it!!

Masterlist 12

You were hired in assistance to the party for accomplishing Keyleth’s Water Aramente

Percy already feels his body dreading the seasickness as soon as they board

Needless to say, you and Percy are as different as night and day it’s so amusing to the rest

Utter 💕denial💕 on his end

He can be foul-mouthed too as a rugged gunslinger but a more rugged, wandering life has melded with your charm making it irresistible

Sure he may sneak a glance or two as the ocean wind whips graciously through loose strands of hair, moonlight kissing you when you dock for the night

Typical “siren seduction” where he is utterly captivated by your stories on the sea and fights you’ve gotten out of, sea monsters and all

Completely and utterly besotted in his feelings as he saw you on the crow’s nest and the sun was rising for the day right on cue

All of your innuendos do little to mitigate the immense blushing he gets around you

[demigoddessqueens]

*boops the mic* so how do I do this ask thing? 😆

Okay anyway so hello! I have a request 🥺 vox machina headcanons for what creative/artistic/domestic hobby they would do for fun with their s/o. Thank youuu! ✨

Btw I've always loved your writing for vm! I'm so glad I found them because I am eating them up after my long days. My bedtime stories <33

Testing, testing, 1-2-3 🎤 I can hear you!! 😄

Awwww!! Thanks for your request nonnie!! This is such a cute ask and I’m glad you like my writing so much like that 🥹💕

Masterlist 11

Keyleth

She took you to Zephrah to show you where she came from and the heritage she’s proud of, taking you around to admire the beautiful scenery and enjoy a date in one of the more homey taverns

Vex’ahlia

Trinket was in need of a bath and a TLC spa day so you and Vex were on duty to tend to the friendly bear. Brushing out and decorating the fur with pink ribbons was just humor on her part.

Or you two are out practicing archery but Vex just uses it as an excuse to be more up close and personal to “help you with your aim”

Pike

While shopping out in the markets, you came across some cheesier than usual books. Of course you just had to buy them, and now you and Pike spend as much down time as you can to laugh at how ridiculous and indulgent they are

Grog

He had seen you dancing before as part of the numerous schemes to get Vox Machina money, so of course learning how to dance was just an excuse to get close to you

OR there was a boxing match that could get the group more gold and he had to show off when you were watching

Percy

He likes his “alone, quiet” time in the workshop, but having you with him is also refreshing. There’s a genuine interest to yiur demeanor when you’re admiring his new invention sketches

Vax’ildan

All about that quality time baby! Any setting that’s intimate for you both is just perfect for him; filled with kisses, cuddles, adoration, just anything that leaves you a melted puddle of affection

Scanlan

Either you’re spending time together helping him compose songs or you two are going to a local concert that’s nearby. Either way, Scanlan likes it when he sees that bit of whimsy to your attitude when you’re singing along

[demigoddessqueens]

Hello! Can I ask how the Vox Machina would react to a female muslim reader who wears the hijab? Even her as their S/O if you feel comfortable. English is not my first language so please excuse any mistakes. I love your writing!

Oh of course! 😄

a/n - I myself am not Muslim nor wear the hijab so I am open to any and all feedback

Masterlist 12

So for starters, I can see you hailing from the areas of Marquet and/or Ank’harel. Exandria is vast and diverse in its cultures, and they are not one to judge for differences.

Given most of their vices, you become a better influence for the group. Seeing you take time not to indulge so much rubs off more than they would admit.

Even when the worst of your most vicious enemies are rid of, seeing you perform dua does strike at them, especially Percy. He wishes he could have met you during the worst years when he was away from Whitestone.

Will always go out of their way to accommodate to dietary needs for you, even going alcohol-free

Of course you always have to look your best darling! The most beautiful fabrics for your hijab and a kaftan

Vex hears you pray and it reminds her of the guiding light that was her mother. A reassuring she needs when self-doubt creeps. Vax hears and sees you and he feels safe, calm and accepting of his future with the Raven Queen. He’s glad there’s another he can share his sentiments and feelings with.

Pike and Keyleth have grappled with their doubts and insecurities with following the Everlight and the Aramente trials before but you’re a reminder to them they can take that time for themselves. Keeping to what they believe and follow will be there, but to live a life and enjoy what has always been in front of them.

Grog has his fair share of philosophical questions here and there, which he is glad you make the time to answer. It’s refreshing that someone listens to what he has to say.

At the rooms you each have at Whitestone, Percy caters to your tastes and decorates your rooms to your liking. Whatever it takes to remind you of home.

If you’re good at textiles and artwork, then calligraphy has a soft spot in their armor and along their clothes designs .

Also, it becomes a rotation of each party member to come into your rooms to learn more of your language. It feels like an intrusion to hear you and your s/o speak privately to each other only in a dialect you both know.

Sometimes they’ll hear you singing, asking what those songs mean and if you could teach them. Mostly Scanlan just likes to pretend he’s learning because it’s an excuse to hear you sing, giving him courage to come to terms with his daughter.

And of course, the affectionate nicknames for each other! Say habibi and they turn redder than a tomato

Your relationship and dynamics can pretty much be summed up in the words of Nizar Qabbani:

Not everything in the heart can be said, so God created sighs, tears, long sleep, cold smile and shivering hands.

I throw my passport in the sea, And name you my country, I throw all of my dictionaries in the fire, and name you my language

Percy with a stimming reader

a percy x nd/stimmy! reader hc post.

reader stims, mostly physical stims for the sake of this hc post

percy doesnt exactly stim himself but he does fidget, so he'll perceive your stimming as fidgeting at first and assume that maybe youre just nervous. he'll ask whats making you nervous, and if youre still doing it even when theres nothing to be nervous about he'll get curious, maybe a little worried "you keep tapping your fingers like that, are you alright love?"

he'll notice most of your major stims but pass them off as fidgeting, anxious habits and so on, it wont occur to him that youre just stimming at least until you start stimming when youre really happy, flapping your hands and rocking back and forth

he'll find it adorable especially after you tell him what it is and why you do it he notices all your little stims too after that he'll try and pick up on all your stims, he finds them cute and wants to learn a bit more the only stimming he really does himself is your classic restless leg syndrome /hj

if you have vocal stims and youre all trying to be quiet but you really need to stim, he'll hush you at first and try to get you to stim some other way he'll tell you its okay to vocal stim later when you guys arent trying to be quiet

he does his best to be respectful of your stimming sometimes he'll accidentally say something that might sound insensitive but he definitely didnt mean it that way.

if someone dares make fun of or mock your stimming, he'll give them a very cold glare as a warning, if that doesnt do it he'll tell them off. scanlan made the mistake of mocking one of your stims and he earned a threat from percy

he'll make the first ever fidget cube for you just an object for you to play with it doesnt make much sound but it does have little things that go click so theres still an audio stim for you (esp if you'd be a pen clicker he'd take that in account) he might fixate on this and make more for you as little gifts sometimes going a little overboard he loves you and thinks your stimming is adorable so he's going to express that as much as he can

Percy learning the reader regresses

legend of vox machina percy learning his partner is an age regressor

a percy x agere!reader headcanon post!

i'd imagine how he would find out is by noticing your behaviour changing. youre all stopped at some place to rest, an inn maybe? and while you have a break from adventures you just start to slip but its the first time you've done it in a while especially around percy maybe it was an offhanded comment/compliment and being tired that triggered it, a mix of exhaustion from the adventure and someone saying something like "good job back there [name]"

he'd just notice you start to get a little shy or more energetic and maybe struggle with your words and he'd take you aside from the group to ask you if you were alright he just wants to make sure youre okay, maybe he thinks youre tired and need to rest early so he offers to take you to your room for the night or he thinks youre still shaken up from the adventure you'd been on and he'll ask if you need anything to help calm down/relax "are you alright? you seem a bit..off this evening. do you need anything love? would you like to talk about it?"

hes very sweet and understanding so when you manage to explain you age regress and that youre slipping, he asks questions to try and understand better he wont ask anything that might be too invasive and definitely wont pressure you to answer anything you dont want to

he'll keep his voice low so the conversation's just for the two of you to hear he wont pressure you to tell the others but he'll at least ask if you want him to explain it to anyone else in the group later his first thoughts were vax and pike or grog but he'll only bring it up with them if you want him to maybe not right then but the next day you're little if youre comfortable with it

will for sure try and figure out what he can do to help you need cuddles from him? he'll tell the party youre going head in for the night and spend it in your shared room cuddling.

if you dont have any little gear or anything he'll try making something or buying it. will get asked by a vendor if hes a dad and gets very embarrassed at first but eventually just says yes and leaves it at that "oh thats adorable, would you happen to be shopping for your child, im sure they'd love that one, kids love these toys now adays!" "er-um..yes. thank you. good day"

he's found a new way to spoil you expect a lot of gifts and sweet words "i have a surprise for you little one" "i got something for you before we left dear"

he will ask what nicknames and terms hes allowed to use for you and what he should avoid your comfort is top priority to him

his heart will melt if you call him nicknames and cling to him in turn hearing that you trust him enough to refer to him with cg terms or anything like that warms his heart

it might take him a while to properly catch on to signs of when youre slipping, if its during and adventure he'll completely miss it most times if its during a fight he'll panic a bit and wanna get you out of the battle field as soon as possible

he'll be so bad at catching on at first he'll over prepare to the point he's not at all prepared. thinks he knows exactly what to do but really doesnt he'll have something on hand sure but he wont know what to do. does he just give it to you or take you aside in private first? is it the right thing for you right now? might accidently hesitate too long because of this

hes afraid to leave any weapons around you incase youre little and an accident occurs probably gets a bit over protective because of this "im not letting you have that" "its literally just a knife percy" "darling what if you hurt yourself, i cant let that happen"

a lot of "youre too little to do x" language, especially at the start. lossens up on everything once he's finally got the hang of it though.

all in all percy truly adores you and wants to do everything he can to help

Meeting a Forest Nymph and Falling in Love

FANDOM: Critical Role, LoVM

Character(s): Grog Strongjaw, Pike Trickfoot, Percy De Rolo, Scanlan Shorthalt, Keyleth, Vex’ahlia, Vax’ildan

Type of Request: Headcanons

Note(s): Okay so I had this request but I can’t find it in Drafts anymore >.< Basically it was LoVM meeting a forest nymph and falling in love. 

Vox Machina

Grog doesn't really get that he's in love with you when he sees you, but he does know that you're hot and he would like to climb your tree.

Keyleth is very interested to learn more about you and what it's like being a nymph. It must be a lot of responsibility and she likes just sitting with you and destressing. Falling in love comes much later as she wants to be friends first!

Percy is also interested in your history and how you became a queen. Probably wouldn't admit to falling for you, yes it happens, but he'll keep that close to his chest for now.

Pike wants to make sure you're not going to harm her friends since you're feylike and the fey are tricky. Instead she ends up befriending you and honestly enjoys your prescence. Is also quiet with her feelings though, she's happy being friends if other things come up then she'll try but mostly staying quiet.

Scanlan isn't one to admit he'd ever fall in love with someone, but you're a nymph and really attractive and he'd be stupid to not give you a ton of pick-up lines.

Vax is quick to fall in love and so when he realizes that he fell for you, he's just going to take things slow. Sure there's definitely longing stares and him hanging off your every word, but he wants to take things slow for you.

Vex was interesting with you being a nymph queen because that must mean you have riches and money right? You have to have something valuable and Vex loves money. Honestly just befriending you in hopes of getting some of that wealth is when she starts falling for you and hey that's an added plus!

[randoimago]

Okay so ask box open = requests being accepted, got it!

That being said, could I ask for Percy, Vax, from LOVM, Beauregard and Mollymauk from campaign 2 whose s/o is a dancer, like in the fire emblem games?

S/O is a Dancer

FANDOM: Critical Role, Campaign 2 // LoVM

Character(s): Beauregard, Mollymauk Tealeaf, Vax'ildan, Percival De Rolo

Type of Request: Headcanons

Note(s): Ooh this is a neat idea, I'd be glad to write this for you!!

Beau

I mean, she thinks you're hot. Really flexible. Great thighs. Sorry, what was the conversation you two were having?

She can't help but get distracted when you start dancing because you're obviously enjoying yourself and she's enjoying that you're enjoying yourself (she's a disaster).

Beau can't dance though. Don't ask her to dance with you. She'd rather enjoy watching you from the sidelines. 

Can't help but be amused if anyone else tries to dance with you though, I mean you're her girlfriend.

Molly

The circus had a couple dancers but none of them compared to you, or at least that's the flattery he'll feed you.

Enjoys watching you dance and has made joking comments about giving him a private dance sometime.

He does enjoy watching you dance, especially since it seems to envigorate everyone so he knows you have some special technique to your craft.

Molly would happily dance with you if you ever asked. It'll be a bit wild and disorientating, but it's really fun and you two are in it more for the laughs than being serious.

Percy

He's usually pretty distracted so he can't really pay too much attention to your dancing in combat.

Might shout a compliment your way but he is focusing on his gun and where to shoot.

When you dance for fun is when he'll actually give you compliments and tell you that you're doing good.

Don't dance with Percy. He knows how to ballroom dance and stuff like that because of his noble training, but he's so particular about getting it perfect. Or he just doesn't care because why does he need to dance? So you'll either get one of those two reactions from him when asking to dance.

Vax

Can't keep his eyes off of you. You're just so lovely and it's obvious how much fun you're having while dancing that his eyes are just attracted to you.

Loves to be close to you during combat because he can watch you but also get some inspiration from your dancing. 

He can't explain how he feels like he can fight better thanks to you, but he's not going to say anything against it.

Vax isn't the best dancer if you ask to dance with him, but he'll do his best. Honestly, it'll take him a little bit but he'll get the hang of it pretty easily.
