[Image ID: Grey-scale digital sketch of Orym from Critical Role standing against a pale green background. Orym grins sunnily with hands on his hips. Above him reads in all caps “Roll with advantage!” Orym is a white halfling man with dark short hair sticking up. He has pointed ears and 3 slash scars across his right eye. He’s wearing his Level 11 look— layers of leather armor tightly fitted together with an arm guard for his left arm and a light green sash wrapped around the guard’s strap. His bare right arm shows a sleeve tattoo depicting a crescent moon cradling a smaller moon. Orym’s short sword peaks out from behind his left shoulder. Watermark on drawing reads “@threadcountart” and “Do not repost/edit/trace” End ID]

It’s late. Scar is already asleep, and distantly, Jimmy imagines he can hear that cat Tango found for him meowing to him. Elsewhere, Fwhip is—doing nothing Jimmy cares about, thank you—and the sky is clear tonight, so he supposes Joel must be content. Grian had gone to make base with more of the strangers and strangely familiar, and Jimmy is here to hang up his hat and go to bed.
When he turns around, there’s a small yellow bird perched on his hatstand.
“Oh, you—go away,” Jimmy says, irritated.
The bird doesn’t speak, but Jimmy hears what it’s trying to say: if they’re here, that means it was real. If Jimmy knows them, and they know Jimmy, that means it was real. If it was real, that means everything else is too.
Jimmy crosses the room to stick his hat on his other pillow instead of the hatstand. With a surprisingly lovely song, the yellow bird flies off the hatstand and lands on the hat.
“Shoo,” Jimmy says. “Even if it were all real. Even if he’s here, and Tango’s as good as all those memories say, and—you don’t gotta stick around me, you know. Shoo. Besides, this all still has time to be a stupid dream.”
The bird sings sadly.
“Ugh,” Jimmy says, flopping in bed. “Even if it is all real, it’s not time yet anyway.”
The bird hops over to where Jimmy is flopped in bed and rests its head against Jimmy’s cheek. Outside, there’s a ranch he’s building for someone he met in a dream, and there are poppies in a vase downstairs, and Grian said that Jimmy couldn’t escape him, and Jimmy’s not sure that Grian knows what he meant when he said it.
The bird chirps sadly again.
“…it’s not your fault anyhow. I shouldn’t yell,” Jimmy says. “It’s hardly your fault everyone else—well.”
The bird chirps one last time before flying out the window. In Jimmy’s head, it’s gone to find Tango, or maybe Scott. Jimmy watches it.
“If I’m going to have to check the water tower for cod, I’m not taking it to Joel,” he says, as though there’s any logic to that whatsoever. “Do you know how much fun I’ll get made of for doing that? Nu-uh, no way.”
He blows out the candle. The room is dark. He goes to sleep, and he dreams of past lives. They aren’t so bad as all that, but he’d prefer they stay there, if it’s all the same anyway.

Lots of civilian Touya working at a coffee shop fics, not enough fics where he acts like Hawks is that annoying regular he wants nothing to do with until Hawks comes in less and less and his mood has dropped a lot and he won't talk as much, and Touya starts to worry but can't ask after him because he's been acting like a jerk to Hawks for the last several months so he's in no place to suddenly try to sound genuine and like he cares (he has a raging crush on Hawks and can't admit it). And then Hawks completely disappears for a week and they all know nothing until they see on the news there was a full out battle between heroes and villains, and then it's later revealed that Hawks had been working undercover with villains, his past and name has been revealed against his will, and he's in the hospital with serious injuries.
Touya makes a phone call, and then makes Hawks' favorite drink and delivers it to the hero's hospital room himself
