#widofjorester

[brenhotapplepies]

“I wrote it that way.”

His portrait of Jester.

His splinter from the ship.

His house with Essek.

Caleb Widogast you beautiful wizard with so much love to give.

[demisexualemmaswan]

it’s very important that caleb widogast has two cheeks because it means:

-two tieflings can kiss him at the same time 

-two purple men can kiss him at the same time

-two of his schoolmates can kiss him at the same time 

-a tiefling and a half-orc can kiss him at the same time

-veth can kiss both cheeks twice!!

-yasha can cup caleb’s face in her hands while beau gives him a noogie 

-caduceus can watch his friend’s face warm up after a good cup of tea 

all i’m saying is it’s such a good thing caleb widogast has a kissable/holdable/lovable face!!! he deserves it!!!!!!!!! 

[critter-rarepair-reccs]

Hello all! Hope your Wednesday has been well so far. This week we have fourteen fics featuring various different polyamorous ships! As always, you can find them below the cut and if you check any of them out, I encourage you to leave kudoes and comments to spread the rarepair love 💕

gilded mischief by annie_blackbird (20,437 words, Explicit) Pairing: Yussa Errenis/Essek Thelyss/Caleb Widogast (Shadowidoyussa) Warnings: Consensual Somnophilia, Safeword Use, Mentions of Slavery

Caleb and Essek spend a night with Yussa, with Caleb under the effect of a sleeping potion. After some discussion, the night progresses with Essek as Yussa's very good boy.

Reccer Says: *grabs you by the shoulder* you need to read this fic. Even if you're not already aboard the Shadowidoyussa ship. It will convert you. It is so soft. It is so hot. Like, the perfect balance of tooth-rotting fluff and scorchingly hot smut. Yussa is Exandria's softest dom and I adore him. Essek is a sweetheart doing his very best and I'm holding him in my hands. Caleb is asleep but the ways he's still a present influence on the story through Essek's POV is absolutely wonderful. Please read it, you will not regret it.

can't you see yourself by my side? by ryseling (7,519 words, Explicit) Pairing: Fjord/Jester Lavorre/Caleb Widogast (Widofjorester) Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, Under-negotiated Relationship

Fjord and Jester are together, and Caleb - hopelessly in love with them as he is - agrees to a threesome. Porn with feelings, Caleb POV.

Reccer Says: Very well written in terms of style. Everyone also feels very in character.

Hearts Full of Light by kaeda (5,032 words, Mature) Pairing: Astrid Beck/Fjord/Eadwulf Grieve/Jester Lavorre Warnings: None

The nein & friends are restoring the blooming grove after Trent's attack in 141. Mostly lighthearted as Jester meddles & matchmakes. POV alternating between Fjord and Jester.

Reccer Says: Jester/Astrid/Fjord/Eadwulf is such an underrated rarepair.

all glittering things by quinn_of_aebradore (32,418 words, Teen) Pairing: Mollymauk Tealeaf/Essek Thelyss/Caleb Widogast (Shadowidomauk) Warnings: Minor Canon Character Death

"Essek Thelyss, prodigious dunamancer and crown Prince of Rosohna. Caleb Widogast, illustrious court mage for the Lord Eadwulf Grieve of Blumenthal. Mollymauk Tealeaf, Opal of Nicodranas, fourth child of the Tealeaf Estate. What happens when affection escapes the bounds of propriety and courting? What comes once a kiss has been bestowed? A romance draped with light and honey, of course."

Reccer Says: I just love this entire AU so much so I'm cheating and reccing the whole thing lol... it's so well done and thoughtfully constructed, and they're sooo lovey dovey and pining and flirty ugghggh - bonus: the lucien vs essek part makes me especially feral 🤣💜

Kisses by the Road by Clare_Hope (6,351 words, Teen) Pairing: Dorian Storm/Fearne Calloway/Dariax Zaveon/Opal Warnings: Alcohol

Fearne wins the drinking contest in Byroden and requests kisses as her prize. Polyamory and shenanigans ensue.

"In which Mollymauk comes back to his body, minus a few memories, at the Blooming Grove. Essek is intrigued. Caleb is glad."

Reccer Says: I LOVE THIS FIC SM.... it's such a perfect post-canon depiction of the slow, realistic, exciting, curious unfolding of their relationship, and I love their characterizations and dynamics 🥰🥰🥰 it's a SWM classic to me

First Light by the_deep_magic (5,673 words, Explicit) Pairing: Ashton Greymoore/Orym/Dorian Storm (Dashrym) Warnings: None

Reccer Says: Domestic Dashrym, hot smut, and a very well-written Ashton POV 💕

locked in here with us by wanderingbasilisk (3,002 words, General) Pairing: Mollymauk Tealeaf/Essek Thelyss/Caleb Widogast (Shadowidomauk) Warnings: None

"a dragon, a damsel in a tower, a knight in shining armor you can guess how this goes ;)"

Reccer Says: Love a fairytale AU! It's just so sweet and fun and adorable and there's a little sprinkle of angst in there which is sooo good 💜🧡💜 delightful and heartwarming

in the light of long-dead things by Anonymous (3,426 words, Teen) Pairing: Astrid Beck/Eadwulf Grieve/Essek Thelyss/Caleb Widogast (Blumenshadow) Warnings: PTSD, Panic Attacks

While spending the night in Caleb’s tower, Astrid gets thrown into the past.

Reccer Says: God, the way this one has Stuck with me since I first read it. The visual of Astrid squeezing herself under the nook by the stairs is burned into my brain. Her panic, Wulf coaxing her back to herself and the present, her reactions to Caleb and Essek, it’s all so heartaching and wonderful, I love it so much.

Eadwulf joins Fjord & Jester's crew as they sail the Lucidian. POV alternating between the three leads. Fjord and Jester are about to embark on a high-seas adventure...and Eadwulf shows up and insists on joining their crew. They don't know what he's plotting (or what he's running away from,) but that won't stop them from flirting with him until they find out.

Reccer 1 Says: I enjoyed it! Reccer 2 Says: Adorable Fjorester flirting. All the sexual tension of that one sword fight between Fjord and Eadwulf. Unstoppable force (Jester Lavorre) meets immovable object (the world's most miserable, wretched wet dog of a scourger.)

And we have three reccs for: amongst the things left unforgiven by nonwal (63,958 words, Mature) Pairings: Astrid Beck/Eadwulf Grieve/Essek Thelyss, Astrid Beck/Eadwulf Grieve/Essek Thelyss/Caleb Widogast (Blumenshadow) Warnings: Panic Attacks, Discussions of Suicidality/Euthenasia, Temporary Character Death, Suicidal Ideation

Astrid and Eodwulf start visiting Essek in Rosonah to keep an eye on him, then Essek starts visiting them at Caleb's tower in Rexxentrum to keep an eye on them. They dance around eachother in conversation out of mutual distrust (and flirting) long enough to save Essek from himself and fall in love about it. Astrid and Eadwulf take it upon themselves to save Essek from himself. Two scourgers show up at Essek's home to interrogate him about the Mighty Nein. Then he discovers that both of them are also uselessly pining over Caleb. Then, he gets closer than advisable.

Reccer 1 Says: the character dynamics and banter are absolutely top notch. the author really nails the character voices. Reccer 2 Says: I enjoyed it! Reccer 3 Says: An alternate ending to C2 with a great balance of intrigue, angst, slow-burn romance, and fluff (if you can count three wizards lying to each other for fun as fluff.)

[widobravely]

i like widofjorester as a CONCEPT but more like "this is my boyfriend caleb and that's his boyfriend fjord (whom i used to like a LOT but now he's just kinda mid to me i still love him as a friend tho)"

alternately "this is my boyfriend caleb and his boyfriend fjord and fjord's It's Complicated veth who is ALSO caleb's it's complicated. and over there is veth's husband."

[foxqueen-katarian]

This said, I need to know if I'm missing any Widogast ships before I start fiddling with the brackets, so as of right now I have: Widofjord (Caleb/Fjord) Widofjorester (Caleb/Fjord/Jester) Widofjolly (I really want to call this Wizard's Fjolly) (Caleb/Fjord/Molly) Widobrave (Caleb/Veth) Widojest (Caleb/Jester) Widomauk (Caleb/Molly) Lucigast (Caleb/Lucien) Widoking (Caleb/Kingsley) Shadowgast (Caleb/Essek) (The obvious correct answer to best ship) Shadowidomauk (Caleb/Essek/Molly) Handwich/Widolyss (Caleb/Essek/Verin) Taskgast (Caleb/Verin) Widonis (Caleb/Yussa) Wizard Hubris (Caleb/Essek/Yussa) Blumenshadow (Blumendrei+Essek) Blumendrei (Caleb/Astrid/Eodwulf) WidoWulf (Only Caleb/Eodwulf) WidoBeck (Only Caleb/Astrid) Caleb's Bisexual Maelstrom (Blumenshadow+Jester+Veth) I don't think I missed any but please let me know if I did.

If the ADHD allows I'm going to actually set up the bracket style Best Widogast ship tournament I said I'd do almost a year ago on Tuesday. I'm posting about this because if I don't the only person holding me to that is me, and I am easily bribed.

[ratt-thing]

"we're not pure of heart, but we're sure of aim and our heads are full of love and blood and whiskey!"

what's better than this? crossover between two of my favorite things. this song gives me absolute ot3 brain worms. also cowboy aus are always hot.

[chloerozo]

Various doodles of Fjord and Jester and Caleb. I know what I'm about

[mighty-polynein]

for your polyprompts may I ask for 'M3' with widofjorester?

Here you go! :D

[myceliaes]

okay hear me out. what if they ALL held hands

[ohgodsimback]

Honestly... I just need Caleb, Jester, and Fjord in nice clothes doing some sort of ballroom/social dance. Caleb, red hair perfectly pulled back and a little too clean looking. Fjord giving Jester worry eyes and wondering if he’ll step on either of their feet. Jester knowing she’ll end up leading at some point straightening out her posture and adjusting her boobs by pulling at the straps of a gorgeous red satin piece.

I want to watch them float across the floor, trading each other back and forth. Fjord and Caleb to Jester and Caleb to Fjord and Jester. All spinning softly like planets around the sun. I want to watch Fjord looking down at his clumsy feet while Caleb grins and Jester chuckles. I want to feel that love light a room like oil lamps can’t.

I want them to fall so far in to the music that their minds somehow connect. I want them to kiss; passionately, with slight snarls, and softly with warm smiles. Perhaps all three of them at once, maybe in pairs. I want them to hold each other close and feel a deep love for one another. I just want them to be happy.

[alabaster-raven-illustrations]

Screw it. Sometimes you just gotta draw the polyamorous fanart you wanna see in the world. I think the coastal couple should seduce the wizard.

[critter-rarepair-reccs]

Good afternoon, my friends! This week, we're taking recommendations for fics featuring Jester Rarepairs! As a reminder, the only Jester ship that's too popular for our lists is Fjorester, so any other pairing is fair game! Also don't forget, the caveat to that is poly ships that include both Jester and Fjord! So a ship like Widofjorester would be totally alright to submit 💕

Submissions are also currently open for Alternate Universes, Hurt/Comfort, and PC x NPC! The lists for these themes will be published in the coming weeks in that order. 💕

The form to submit recommendations, as well as the rules are submissions, is located HERE!

Thanks all, have a lovely day, and happy reccing!

[softlyblues]

i feel and i cannot explain this feeling but i feel that bren astrid eodwulf have their foils in caleb jester fjord

[foxqueen-katarian]

It’s been about 24 hours now and as of right now there is a clear front runner in Widomauk, which isn’t terribly surprising given that many (most?) Shadowgast shippers started as Widomauk’s, and that’s the bubble I live in. Blumedrei is doing much better than it did on the first iteration of this poll, with Widojest just behind. Widofjord and Shadowidomauk are currently tied and round out the top five.

I did add more Shadowgast variants this go around (and still managed to miss one, so sorry to Blumenshadow shippers) and I’m wondering if that’s why there are less ‘Only Shadowgast’ shippers.

There’s been several lamentations that Widofjorester was left off (less sorry about that one, Widojest is my least favorite C2 ship so I didn’t even think about variants). And a call for the Bisexual Maelstrom to be added (if I do an actual tournament style bracket I’ll add it in).

So because I still live in a Shadowgast bubble and I meant to remake this poll six months ago and just remembered, now with more options.

[citizen-of-the-fandom]

you guys I just learned a new ship name for Caleb/Jester/Fjord which is fjorestfire and I am delighted
