Hurt/Comfort Fic Recs!
This week, we have thirteen hurt/comfort fics recced! Some emotional hurt/comfort, some physical whump, and sometimes combinations of the two. Check them out under the cut, and as ever, comment or kudos if you like them!
those that crawl and flutter towards the sun by vietbluecoeur (vietbluefic) (6163,Not Rated)
Warnings: Major Character Death, Very Mild Insect Imagery, Mortality and Discussions Thereof, Sad & Gentle Ending
Pairings: Jester Lavorre & Essek Thelyss
Essek has always been warned not to touch the creatures, called the in’luthin, "insects" with a lifespan of three days, but what harm is there in just looking? And anyways, when has Essek ever been one to listen?
Reccer says: From the very first words, this fic has such a luxurious weight to it. Some of the Mighty Nein appear, but this is definitively a story between AroAce Essek and AroAce Jester as bittersweet as the tags imply, only less bitter and more longing, and definitely, definitely sweet.
Spit, elbow grease, and a whole lot of gold by Multifandom_damnation (2006,Teen)
Warnings: None
Pairings: Ashton Greymoore & Milo Krook
The Nobodies dump Ashton off on Milo's table, and Milo does his best to fix him
Reccer says: Milo voices all of my rage at Ashton's treatment wonderfully. The fic also does a great job of managing the actual process of fixing him, along with all of the emotions involved as well
Philia, Is That You? by Professor_Rye (2034,General)
Warnings: None
Pairings: Yasha & Mollymauk
Yasha gets hurt protecting Mollymauk from assholes, and the Mollymauk helps Yasha make sure she's actually okay
Reccer says: QPRs my beloved
Crowned Teeth (or, An Offering Revoked) by fruitzbat (130570,Mature)
Warnings: Frank depictions of PTSD/galley slavery
Pairings: Kingsley Tealeaf/Original Character
Kingsley is mutinied against and sold into slavery halfway across the world. He breaks out, finds out the mutiny was the inside job to end all inside jobs, and makes his survival everyone else's problem.
Reccer says: I really, really like the way that this series explores different kinds of hurt and trauma, and how those kinds of hurt affect people's relationships and self-image. The first and second fics in the series are the most direct about the subject, but the third has a lot about what it means to lose a parental figure and complicated grief/trauma response stuff that I found really refreshing. Characters are messy and non-linear in their healing, and do their best to take care of each other. There's a lot of...I don't know how to say this, but a very no-bullshit look at the concept of the power of love that is this through-thread through the stories. Anyway, I really like them.
Trust by silversky (403,General)
Warnings: None
Pairings: Caleb & Nott
Nott is sick and delirious, but thankfully there is someone there to make sure she's okay.
Reccer says: the fic is very soft and warm
Scar Tissue by Belphegor (0,Teen)
Warnings: scars, canon-typical violence, reference to main character death (and resurrection)
Pairings: Scanlan Shorthalt/Pike Trickfoot
Sometimes surviving means learning to live with the scars that killed you. Pike knows a lot about that. Scanlan is still learning. (a little comics set a bit post-Campaign 1.)
Reccer says: Author here - sorry, I usually don't shamelessly self-plug like that, but I set out to write and draw post-campaign 1 hurt/comfort dealing with Pike's and Scanlan's different resurrection-related traumas, and I poured my entire heart into it. (turns out making comics is hard but totally worth it.)
I've Held You in the Plan by CitizenMocha (4015,Teen)
Warnings: None
Pairings: Vex & Vax
After all is said and done with the Apogee Solstice and its aftermath, Vox Machina free Vax from the Malleus Key. The twins are reunited. Rest, reflection, and a revelation about what happens next ensue.
Reccer says: Vex's grief is palpable throughout the entire fic, even as--especially as, actually--she's reunited with Vax. It's a heartaching yet triumphant look at what might happen when the events of C3 are all said and done. There's so many little details woven in that serve to make it pack even more of a punch ("Vax Speed" does so many things to my heart) and the dynamic between all of Vox Machina is wonderful as well.
The Night is Starting to Ache by CitizenMocha (3872,General)
Warnings: None
Pairings: Gwendolyn De Rolo & Vax De Rolo & Percy De Rolo
Set after episode 76 of campaign 3. It's the middle of the night and Gwendolyn is afraid to sleep.
Reccer says: I loved this glimpse of an older Percy as a loving, indulgent father doing his best to comfort his child.
maybe then my breath could embody by lunarblazes (1331,Teen)
Warnings: None
Pairings: Caduceus & Calliope Clay
Calliope and Caduceus have a fun bonding moment about the fucked up shit that happens when you leave home
Reccer says: There's so many little details I love in this, it's perfectly in character, and I love their sibling not-quite-comforting each other dynamic
a garden in the stars by wanderingBasilisk (2264,General)
Warnings: None
Pairings: Caduceus & Fjord
Caduceus stays back on the Nein's spaceship while the others run errands on a space station. When Fjord gets overstimulated from the crowds there, Jester brings him back to the ship and to Cad, who knows just what his friend needs.
Reccer says: It's very atmospheric (the description of the garden on board the Nein Heroez is So Evocative) and the familiarity and care between Cad and Fjord is so lovely and sweet. The time they've spent together and the comfort of a well-worn routine is apparent throughout the whole fic and comes together in the sweetest way.
Canities Subita: An Exploration of Self-Image by oversteepedearlgrey (1760,Teen)
Warnings: Choose not to warn
Pairings: Percy & Vox Machina
Percy hates looking in the mirror. He keeps his hair short and out of his face. He can’t wear his glasses during haircuts, and he certainly can’t be the one cutting it. It takes a creek, a bear, and a panic attack to find out why.
Reccer says: Percy is wonderful for hurt comfort, but I love the way that this is handling something that is more emotionally distressing than physically painful.
A Pirate's Bounty of Gold Doubloons by bluegreenamber (1823,Mature)
Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence
Pairings: Kingsley & Yussa
Kingsley hadn't been expecting any company today, especially not a powerful (and injured) elven wizard seeking refuge.
Reccer says: It's a really fun pairing!
Miles to Go by Crewe (3621,Teen)
Warnings: None
Pairings:
After a grueling battle, Vox Machina is hours away from the nearest cleric racing to get an unconscious Keyleth to Pike before poison takes its toll. Scanlan is hiding an injury to keep attention on Keyleth. It’s maybe a little worse than he expected.
Reccer says: Lovely fic where everyone is perfectly in-character, and the humour and tension are balanced just right, as are the worry and deflection (on both sides). Special mention to the Scanlan & Grog and Vex & Scanlan pairings, those add just the necessary acid-sweet icing on the h/c cake!
This is one of our weekly communally-generated gen rec lists. Every week we announce a new theme and allow anyone to submit a fic recommendation.

long talks at the blooming grove
some details!
this piece was inspired by the talks Caduceus and Calliope had during the campaign, I imagine that post-campaign they often end up spending time together, telling each other stories or just sitting together in silence,,
also i just really wanted to draw Calliope ü.ü
this one took absolute ages lmao, krita tells me ive worked on this for 24h :,)

Day 6: Chase
Tickletober 2023 - Critical Role - Mighty Nein C2 - lee!Caduceus
[see my other tickletober 2023 fics]
A/N: Based around the bone flute prank scene in C2E96. I love the Clays so much. Caduceus sneaks up on Calliope and blows the flute super loud, startling her into the pool of water she’s sitting beside. He bolts, laughing, and she chases his ass down and gets him. [read on AO3]
Words: 681
—
The moon casts a dim light overheard as Caduceus creeps up quietly, padding through the grass toward the temple. As he approaches, he sees a figure sitting at the edge of the pool of water just inside, a soft glow emanating from it. A blink to adjust to the diluted colors of the night leads him to correctly spy exactly who it is. Just who he was looking for. Calliope. Today had been the first day in nearly a decade he’s seen her. Too much time had passed.
Calliope watches the water contemplatively, her toes dipped in the pool.
Caduceus takes a few more slow steps toward her, praying to the Wildmother for a silent landing of each foot.
As he approaches, he can see her holding the crystal in her hands, glancing it over before looking between the pool and the temple structure above. She sighs heavily.
Caduceus gets closer, as close as he can, so slowly, so quietly, and pulls the bone flute from his pocket.
Calliope begins to whisper an almost silent prayer, her toes curling in the water.
A loud, sharp, chilling tone fills the temple, emanating from a foot or so behind her, and Calliope shrieks in surprise. She jolts forward, straight into the pool of water.
Caduceus grins to himself, putting the bone flute back in his pocket before turning to run.
Calliope’s soaked form fully emerges from the pool, taking in her surroundings with wide eyes. She clocks him, slamming her fists into the water. “Caduceus!” She takes the crystal she’s been holding and chucks it at him.
He bolts back the way he came with a laugh. Knowing he doesn’t stand much of a chance outrunning her, he gets to the entry of the temple and skids to a stop. “I got you something!” He barely gets the words out before cold, wet arms are wrapping him up and the full force of his sister tackles him to the ground. He can’t keep the smile off his face, laughing as he goes down.
“You little shit!” Calliope growls as she pins him on his back. “You know, I was gonna thank you! Was!” Cad chuckles up at her, holding out the flute. “Oh, it’s all coming back to you, huh? Like nothing’s changed.”
He smiles back. “Yeah, heh, like I said, I got you a gift.”
Her nostrils flare as she fixes him with an even more annoyed look. Her hair is dripping as she gets herself on top of him and pins an arm out to the side. Then, oh shit- she starts tickling, trying to find the sensitive spots between his waist and armpit.
Caduceus breaks into full laughter, grin wide on his face. “Ahaha- oh nohohoho- dohon’t! Hahaha- wait- Calliopehehehehe aha- wahahait!” He pleads between laughs when she digs into a particularly sensitive rib.
“I don’t know about that. Apparently, I have been waiting a long fucking time.” She counters, smug smirk evident in her voice. “So, if this is how you’re gonna be, it seems I have quite a few years worth of tickling the snot out of you to catch up on!”
Caduceus cackles and kicks out behind her. “I- hehe- I missed you toohohhoo!” His free hand clutches the bone flute and tries to curl around to protect some of the sensitive spots.
Calliope reaches up and tickles along the shell of his ear. Caduceus makes one of the highest pitched noises that has been heard from him in decades. When his breath comes back to him, he’s already conceding. “Okahahahay- okahahay, I give! Ahaha- Callioppehehe plehease!”
She rolls her eyes and lets go of his arm. Stepping back and offering her hand to help him up. He takes it, smile still wide on his face. He passes her the bone flute and begins pestering her about using it to prank Colton. They nudge shoulders, laugh and catch up as they walk back over toward the pool. Mid-sentence, Calliope trips him off balance and pushes him into the water.
It was good to be around family again.

Hope im not too late :)
Wondering if you could show the Clay family some love! Maybe a little one got left on their doorstep or their mother passed away from a illness and the clays where nice to take them in!
Hope you are doing well! I know taking a break is something everyone needs now and then! Sending lots of hugs and sweet your way!
Hello Corn! (can I call you Corn, is that alright?) Thank you for the kind words, it means a lot ❤️ And I agree, all the love for the Clay family
I decided that the reader was an elf. Why? Idk, just because I guess
Welcome to the Family
Clay Family & Child!Reader
Set pre-campaign 2
Constance had decided to take an evening stroll to survey the area, the blight hadn’t spread any further yet, which she was very thankful for but why this sudden urge to walk so far was unclear, perhaps the Wildmother may have something to show her. She picks up the sound of muffled cries and hurries to the location, gasping in shock at the lone infant left on the ground, their long, pointed ears easily giving away their heritage. Immediately Constance lifts the child into her arms, noting they weighed next to nothing. The sudden movement has the baby crying harder.
“Shhhh… shhhh… it’s alright little one. I’m not going to hurt you.” She calms the infant, their cries turning into soft whimpers. “There you go dear. Let’s get you home.” Constance makes her back to the temple, careful with her movements as to not disturb the child again. She takes this extra time to look over the baby, aside from the light weight they seemed unscathed by anything, and after holding the child for so long she could feel an almost divine power surging through them. She was now certain the Wildmother brought her this child for a reason, what that reason was is yet to be fully determined but she had high faith in what was to come.
“Mama! Where did you go? You were gone so long!” Clarabelle’s voice pulls the mother from her thoughts. “Whatcha got there?” She tilts her head trying to see what her mother was holding.
“Clarabelle, dear. Could you get your father and siblings for me?” Constance asks. With an eager nod Clarabelle dashes off calling for the rest of the family. Watching her youngest daughter dash away, Constance got to work gathering a few ingredients together to make a sort of formula to feed the child in her arms. Chuckling slightly when the child greedily drank it down and finally opened their eyes, letting her see the bright (e/c) orbs. “Hello little one.” She smiles, now realizing the child still didn’t have a name. She looks at the blanket their wrapped in, a sorta tag with the shops name stitched on one of the corners ‘(Y/n)’s Capes and Cloaks Emporium’ an odd name to be sure, must’ve been a local shop wherever the child came from, though the name had a nice ring to it.
“Clarabelle says you have something to show us?” Cornelius questions as he approaches, their four children not far behind, all of them having some variation of curiosity on their faces.
“Not something, someone.” Constance corrects showing them the baby. “I’d like you all to meet our newest member to the family, (y/n). I expect you four to treat them like you would each other.”
“Does that mean I’m a big sister now!” Clarabelle jumps in place, her parents chuckle at her giddiness.
“It does… would you like to hold them?” Constance asks, Clarabelle nods eagerly. “Alright, but be very careful.” She slowly hands her daughter the little elf.
“Hi! I’m going to be your big sister, and I promise to be the best one there is.” Clarabelle smiles, eyes practically sparkling in awe, (y/n) stares at her with curious doe eyes for a moment before breaking into a small fit of giggles.
“Hey, don’t forget about me too.” Calliope huffs playfully.
“I’m gonna be a better older sister then you.” Clarabelle teases her.
“Are not.”
“Are too.” The two softly glare at each other, Clarabelle sticking her tongue out at her sister, who in turn copies her as they continue this silent rivalry. Soon enough Clarabelle notices (y/n) is no longer in her arms, taking a second to frantically look around until her eyes land on them in her brothers arms.
“No fair Caduceus, I was holding them.” She whines.
“Just making sure you don’t drop them by accident.” He simply says.
“I wasn’t.” She pouts, crossing her arms, Caduceus just gives a small shrug.
“Better safe then sorry.”
“You keep them safe? Please, I’m the protector of the family here.” Colton puffs out his chest proudly.
“Oh? Well, in that case would you like to hold them?” Caduceus raises (y/n) up to be at eye level with Colton. (Y/n) tilts their head to one side before slapping their little hand onto Colton’s snout making him jump back slightly, they proceed to giggle at his reaction, as do the other three. “I think I’m really going to like you.” Caduceus turns (y/n) to face him again, they yawn in response.
“Okay, that’s enough. It’s been a long day for (y/n) and they’ll as much rest as they can.” Constance informs, walking over to take (y/n) from Caduceus.
“But didn’t auntie Corrin once say elves don’t need as much rest as we do?” Calliope asks.
“That may be true when their older, but (y/n)’s still very young and thank the Wildmother I found them when I did, and they’re doing a lot better already. But they’re still not in the best condition, and are going to need to regain a lot of strength before they take part in any activities.” Constance then starts rocking the baby in her arms, easily lulling them to sleep while her other children let out slight disappointed awww’s.
“You kids heard your mother, nothing too exciting and crazy around your new sibling. Now let’s get inside, I’d say it’s getting pretty dark out.” Cornelius wasn’t wrong, they sky had darkened quite significantly in this time. Slowly but surely everyone made their way into the temple to go about their nightly rituals before finally settling down for bed.
Figured I’d keep this one pretty simple, maybe I’ll do more for this future? We’ll see

Wild's Grandeur
Fandom: Critical Role (Web Series)
Relationships: Caduceus Clay & Clay Family, Constance Clay & Vilya
Characters: Caduceus Clay, Constance Clay, Calliope Clay, Vilya | Viridian
Additional Tags: That feeling of moving back in with your folks, only with more trauma, passive aggressive confrontations, early spring
Series: Part 2 of Festivals of Light Summary:
For the first time in decades, the Clays could leave the Blooming Grove and celebrate Wild's Grandeur in the Savalirwood. Caduceus would rather stay at home.
I always felt a little weird leaving Cad out of the Festivals of Light series, but had a hard time imagining him reaching out to the Nein for help with his family. So he gets something a little different - a story about celebrating (or not) early spring, and that feeling of moving on. Can be read as part of the series or by itself.
