Being the Youngest Critical Role Member | Critical Role cast x child reader

Summary | You are five years old and newest member of the main Crit cast for Campaign 1

Genre | platonic, fluff

You were invited to join the campaign by Liam, your godfather. He and your parents had been teaching you the game since you started to display a basic grasp of mathematics. Moreover, you’d been sitting in on their home games since you were an infant.

You’d met Matt a couple of times before through your parents’ work with him. You always liked him. He didn't talk down to you as most adults did and seemed to genuinely listen when you made your childish rants.

Under the supervision of one of your parents, you and he created quite the flavorful PC. One that allowed you to come and go as you needed without feeling out of place in the overall narrative.

You were playing a young magic user following the commands of an unseen patron on the quest to avenge your fallen family. Originally you’d wanted a family member as your patron, but Matt’s suggestion allowed room for more improvisation.

Just as your parents had taught you to be, you were as polite as possible during your first session. Which translated into your character. You introduced your character as a child, selling all manners of enchanted weapons they’d retrieved to make ends meet as they traveled Tal’dorei.

Everyone at the table, the first time you spoke, in that instant made up their mind you were a cinnamon roll to be protected.

However, their characters had mixed views; Percival was suspicious as Talisin had rolled high to perceive how you’d attained your magical merchandise; Scanlan was intrigued, amused by your character’s puerile tales of adventure; Grog was interested in a tusky club; the twins were both charmed, you’ve got pluck; Pike, well intentioned, was concerned about your lack of supervision; and Keyleth trusting as ever took an interest in the tales of how you’d retrieved such goods.

Suffice to say, the chat thought you and your half-elven PC were the cutest things. Even your PC’s klepto means of restocking only added to their charm.

You really brought the energy your first time playing with the cast. At first they’d walked on eggshells, taking it easy on you. However, they realized quickly that you were completely capable of holding your own. Liam couldn’t be more proud.

Initially, you’d only join the campaign every once in a while, when the stream and the night staying with godfather correlated. You did have kindy work and a bedtime schedule to consider.

You were a genuine delight both in game and out. The party missed you when you were unable to accompany. Though, Liam did FaceTime you before streams so everyone could check in.

Matt kind of just falls into a pseudo big brother role. (Which is dangerous considering his task as the DM.)

If you mention off handed that they’re something you’d wish to retrieve or witness in the game, there’s a good chance, if possible and plausible, he’ll make it so. You once told Marisha you wanted a pet, only because you’d seen cute images of familiars online. Three sessions later, you had a toad, whom you named ‘Crab’

You always look forward to the ren fair when you know Matt will be there. He makes a big show of you “slaying” him with your toy sword. Moreover, he’s a champion at the craft table and lets you sit on his shoulders to watch tournaments.

His heart breaks when he’s forced to combat your PC. The little pout you make when you’re knocked unconscious. It takes everything in him to stop himself from giving you all your hit points back without rolling.

The Critters miss you when you’re gone. However, because Matt begins to say “Goodnight little critter, sleep well” before break, they’ll blow up the chat with goodnight messages for you as well as others tapping out of the chat at that time.

You develop a fake rivalry with Sam. For the stream. Ever since Liam told you you’re his favorite and Sam remarked, “I thought I was your favorite.” There’s been a contest, all in good harmless fun, of course.

Off camera Sam’s your self proclaimed godmother. Doting but not spoiling.

Your two families, along with Liam’s, made a habit of having Saturday brunches together every second Saturday of the month. You thoroughly enjoyed seeing Riegel's children.

Sam, both in game and out, would attempt to involve you in his tame shenanigans. Knowing how easily the other cast members were charmed by you made you the perfect accomplice.

He does tease you, but picks up quickly when you’re not in the mood. If you allow him, he’ll offer a comforting hug and let you sit on his lap during the stream, though he does understand sometimes you just want space.

Ashley throws off the vibes of an older sibling's best friend who makes an effort to chill with their friend's younger sibling. While she can be a bit of a mama bear, she’s still your friend.

She suggested you go out for a part in “Blindspot” auditioning for the role of Oakley “Oakes” Wagner. Succeeding on your own talents, you managed to obtain the spot. Thus, on occasion, as your role was only reoccurring, you had the opportunity to work alongside Ashley in New York.

While in the city she often indulges your Lego wants, treating you to a new set, the two of you can work on constructing together while on break between filming.

When roleplaying, your two PCs get along well enough. When you’re patron is discovered to have been lying, tricking you into murdering your own family. Pike does their best to heal one of them. While it fails, you are allowed some final words with the person. For that, you are grateful.

Every now and again, when she was recruited to babysit, Ashley offered to take you out for ice cream after streams. You’d get to snuggle with Sully and Henry while watching the classics, such as Iron Giant, E.T., Back to the Future, etc.

Tears spilled from your eyes when Matt told of the illusion fading and revealed the people you’d fought off, believing them your enemies, were actually your family. Everyone was a total mess, caught speechless as you roleplayed. After the cameras stopped running, you were bombarded with questions about your emotional state; are you okay? Matt is so apologetic for making you cry.

Liam couldn’t be more proud as you wiped your eyes and beamed, proclaiming that was the coolest session ever. You couldn’t wait to tell your kindy friends about it during circle time.

Everyone does their best to make sure when you’re on set you feel comfortable and safe in the busy production environment. There is always someone with you to keep you company, though there are times you have to accompany them to some boring meeting or other.

Of the cast, Travis is your best friend, usually up for keeping you entertained with board games, tea parties, or imaginative play. Your favorite is playing superhero because he’ll spin you around to give you the impression of flight.

You follow him around, attempting to sneak up and scare him. Initially, your little jumps work, but soon he comes to expect them. Still, he feigned fear.

Outside of Liam, Travis is always the first person you want to tell about your day. Whether it’s about a cute dog you saw or a fact you learned by chance, no matter, he gives you his full attention.

Travis is determined to turn your character against Vax, in his and Grog’s prank war, knowing it would effectively and amusingly drive Liam crazy.

Still, Travis is perhaps the best at saying no to you. If and when you break the rules, he doesn't bend against you, losing the ability to play that week.

By Arc 4, you are a regular member of the crew and were treated as such. Still, there were more restrictions for you; set by your parents and the other cast members.

Naps/ settle time were required on recording day; You couldn't repeat the fowl language off set without permission; There was a code word for when you became too stressed; Your socials were private; And you weren't to do individual and greets without a trusted adult present.

Laura, you knew through both Liam and her work with one of your parents. In fact, you yourself had shared some voice acting projects with her. A bit of a mother hen, but still, she's basically your aunt.

By the critters, you're dubbed Bailey-B or "B-B" because you're essentially Laura's mini. Mid campaign 2, it somehow became a running gag to say, "Hello B!" when you made an appearance or arrived on stage.

Treat fields. When you're packed sweets as a recording snack, you most always share with Laura. Funnily you don't save any for Liam, much to the amusement of others.

Initially, Vex was trusting of your character. Deciding to give them the benefit of the doubt. However, after your first kill, her opinion changed. You'd played the encounter mercilessly, following the instructions of your patron. Now Vex was weary of you and suspicious of the voice in your head.

You don't help Laura's dice habit. You'll see pretty dice and often treat yourself to them. You're not a hoarder like her, though. If she shows interest in the dice, you'll let her borrow them with the understanding there's a slim chance you'll see them again. What's yours is hers when it comes to dice and food and vice versa.

Marisha sits on your left during the recording. She’s the only one directly next to you for campaign 1. Hence, you two are whisper buddies. Furthermore, she usually takes notes for you, considering your penmanship is obviously that of someone still learning to write.

It becomes somewhat traditional for you to whisper something to Marisha in an attempt to get her to laugh. Drives the critters and others crazy; they don’t know what you’re whispering about. Eventually, Marisha begins posting your childish comments after the stream, so everyone gets in on the joke.

Marisha, much like Travis, is fairly good at wrangling you. Generally, very chill if she switches to a sterner tone you know to listen up. She has a talent for getting you to focus and calm yourself before each game.

She does cast off those cool older sibling vibes. Marisha will bail you out, but knows where to draw the line. Just don't do something too shitty.

Keyleth dotes on your PC. She remembers the wonderment of the world when she was first out on her own. Her time with Vox has somewhat hardened her. The world isn't as gentle as she thought it to be. Your PC is so young she doesn't want your innocence taken from you.

Mama Kiki. She's always making sure your PC is hydrated, has enough to eat, and doesn't get to beat up in battle.

After much pleading, Marisha and Travis green-light a series allowing you to co-host called "Camp Critter." It stars you and Laura teaching the workings of DnD; its target demographic, children.

Talisin is your teddy bear. They’ve become used to you running up to them, with very little warning, to give them a tight hug whenever you see them. You’re such a cuddle bug when it comes to them. It’s not uncommon to see Taliesen holding you as you talk their ear off about your day.

It happened once Marisha accidentally elbowed you in the forehead. You’d think in your pain you’d run to Liam, yet you went pouting over to Talisin. The critter community exploded over the cuteness, even drawing art of the moment with you and Talisin as your respective pcs.

You call them Tally. Initially it was difficult for you to pronounce their name so they allowed you and you alone to call them ‘Tally’. It’s sort of just stuck around. Talisin affectionately calls you ‘Gremlin’.

Percy was distrustful from the start. Most of your interactions are kept at arm's length. You were too naïve, too bubbly for him to place faith in. There is the saying “you catch more flies with honey.” How could he trust someone, even a child, so sickeningly sweet?

However, after your PC came to murder their parents, he saw his mirror looking at you. You were in a dark, vengeful place. Too easily could fall down the path he’d trodden. So he was understanding and present. Ever the watchful eye, he kept you from losing yourself. He’d engage all manner of childish activities to prevent you from turning down a dark path.

During quarantine, it becomes a highlight of their zoom calls to see what you’ve been up to. You excitedly show them your first handstand; lost tooth; learning to ride a bike with no training wheels; and more.

While you’d gotten your start as a recurring character in the campaign, the cast couldn’t imagine the next seven years without their kind B-B. It’s an honor to watch you grow and develop not only as a player but as a person.

One time I dreamt that...

I was chasing my dog down the beach and bumped into the cast of Critical Role. After apologizing, we hung out 'cause Matt, Ashley, and Marisha thought my dog was cute. I got to talk D&D with them and share cursed character ideas. It was nice

Hot Tub- Beau Lionett x Reader

Requested By: Anon.

Request: “Can you do 14 "Your laugh is so adorable." and 41 "We'll now I'm all wet" with Beau from the 108 Fluff/Angst prompts, please. Love your work. ❤️”

Warnings: Like very brief descriptions of making out

A/N: This will probably be my last thing for tonight, so thank you guys for hanging out with me! Unfortunately, I have school tomorrow so I don’t wanna stay up too late, but I’ll be getting to the other requests from tonight as soon as possible. I love Beau so much, so writing this was very much self-indulgent, so whoever requested it thank you for letting me live out my Beau dreams. Love you all and hope you enjoy one of my favorite things I’ve ever written.

Living in the Xhorhouse meant that there was always fun to be had and people to hang out with. Sometimes it was painting with Jester, gardening with Caduceus, or studying with Caleb. But for the most part, everyone liked to keep themselves occupied and busy.

So you were more than happy to accompany your girlfriend, Beau, to the hot tub when she asked. Stripping down to just her bandages and underwear, Beau sunk into the hot water while you stayed on the side, dipping your bare feet into the water.

“You sure you don’t wanna get in? The water’s really nice,” Beau said, sending you a wink from across the hot tub. You rolled your eyes, letting a smile play on your lips as you used your feet to splash some water up at her.

“I’m just fine, Beau. I told Jester that after this I would model for her, so I don’t want to get all wet.” You gestured to the dress that you were wearing that Jester had designed specifically for you to model in. It was beautiful, and you didn’t want to ruin it before you helped her. Beau pouted at you as she began to swim closer.

“You’re no fun,” She grumbled as she made herself comfortable in the water beside your feet. You smiled down at her as she began to make small talk with you, asking questions about certain plants that you and Caduceus were growing and telling you about how her and Fjord’s workout routines were going.

While you were talking, Beau’s head rested against your leg, her hand coming to rest on your ankle. Her hand began to caress your ankle and move down to your foot as she talked. Her finger came to brush the bottom of your foot, causing you to shiver and stop mid-sentence. Beau looked up, a mischievous glint in her eye before she let her finger brush over the bottom of your foot a couple of times. You tried to get away, the ticklish sensation causing giggles to come out of your mouth, but Beau held strong.

Finally, you gave up trying to fight in and let out a loud laugh as Beau tickled your foot. She wiggled her fingers for a couple more seconds, before she let go, allowing you to calm down and shoot her a glare.

“I’m sorry. It’s just, your laugh is adorable,” Beau said, smiling at you. You blushed but pouted at her. Beau rolled her eyes, smirking.

“Would a kiss make it up to you?” She asked. You raised an eyebrow, before leaning down. Beau chuckled, leaning up to press your lips to hers. As your lips moved together, you moved your hands to tangle into Beau’s brown hair, deepening the kiss. Beau’s hands moved to your calves, returning your kiss. You felt her hands squeeze your calves before tugging at them.

Next thing you knew, you were in the water beside Beau, her arms now around your waist as you stared at her in shock.

“Beau!” You exclaimed, looking at her accusingly. She grinned and shrugged.

“What? It was getting hard kissing you when you were all the way up there,” She deflected. You rolled your eyes, looking down at your now soaked dress.

“Well, now I’m all wet,” You grumbled. Beau gave you an apologetic smile, before pulling you back into a kiss. Your annoyance was forgotten as Beau pulled you into her lap, kissing you deeply. You laced your fingers in her hair again and were happy to spend the next eternity kissing Beau when the door to the hot tub opened.

“Y/N! I thought you were going to meet me in 5 minutes a-” You and Beau pulled apart quickly as Jester’s voice rang through the room. You looked towards the sound to see the blue tiefling smirking at her and Beau’s position. You looked to your dress and to Jester, your face flushing immediately.

“Jester! I was going to come, but then Beau pulled me into the water and now the dress is all ruined and I’m so sorry!” You stumbled over your words before finally getting the sentence out. Jester’s face lit up as she giggled.

“No worries! In fact, I think I like this pose much better,” She said, pulling out her sketchbook and pencil before sitting down and immediately beginning to work on the picture of you and Beau. You let out a groan of embarrassment as you nuzzled your head into Beau’s neck to hide your red face. Beau only chuckled, leaning her head against yours. This was going to be a long hour of modeling, but there is no one you’d rather spend it with than Beau.

Being Marisha Ray’s Younger Sibling | Critical Role cast x child reader

Summary | I was going to write bing adopted by Travis and Laura did this instead.

Genre | platonic, fluff

You are the younger sibling of Marisha Ray, (y/n) Jude Huber, and your big sister absolutely adores you.

Despite the huge age gap and distance between your lives, your big sister is your best friend.

Chances are she’s bragging about you to the rest of the Critical Role cast a lot. (They already consider you an honorary member before they’ve even formally met you.)

There’s no doubt about it, your Matt’s favorite little Critter.

If Marisha doesn’t introduce you to DnD, Matt will, and if she does, Matt will “properly” introduce you.

You can bet each time Matt and Marisha visit, you're inviting all your little friends for a kid friendly one shot at least once during their stay. (Matt will swear a party of grade schoolers is easier to manage than the Crit team)

You definitely braid Matt’s hair at least once.

You might not be able to watch the live stream because it’s past your bedtime, but Marisha definitely sends you the highlights over the weekend.

You absolutely adore your big sister, nonetheless you also love hoodies. Marisha might be fuck sleeves, but you are fuck tanks.

Your parents and Marisha situate so that during school breaks such as summer or spring break, etc you're able to stay in California with Matt and your sister.

Which leads to your first in person introduction to the rest of the Critical Role staff.

(You’re five the first time you meet them in person and they’re just starting arc five of campaign one.)

You’re a pretty well-behaved child for your age, because of this, and so that you can spend more time with your sister, you’re allowed to accompany her to work.

The whole Crit role staff would be obsessed with you.

Especially Laura Bailey.

This woman would love you as if you were her own. She’s always the first one to volunteer when Marisha needs someone to look after you.

You were her baby before she had her baby.

If someone finds you with sweets, 99.9% of the time you got them from Laura.

Liam and Sam are like your uncles in a lot of ways.

Both having young children of their own, they have an idea of what sort of things you’re into.

Having said that, you’re not their kid, so they don’t have to follow the same rules. Did someone say bad influences, fun uncles?

With Marisha’s blessing, Sam has had you on for some of his ad reads. According to him, your cuteness is marketable.

There are playdates with Sam and Liam’s children.

You’re heartbroken when you hear that Liam’s character, Vax, has died. There are tears.

Which absolutely breaks the cast because they hate to see you sad.

You’re upset with Matt and snuggly with Liam for a while.

While Liam and Sam are the fun uncles, Ashley is the fun aunt.

You two have matching super cool sunglasses.

She always makes it believable that she didn’t let you win Just Dance.

You and Ash will be belting out songs in the car when you’re in her care, she even lets you say the bad words.

Travis calls you lil” K or Little Kentucky. Which you have led you to calling him big Tex’.

You, much like your sister, have a relationship only comparable to that of a brother and sister with Travis.

If you’re in a particularly sour mood, Travis’s Texan accent is usually enough to turn you into a barrel full of laughs.

You enjoy saying, “yeehaw,” or “ride ‘Em cowboy whenever Travis enters the room. (Sam definitely supports this).

He’s made it his mission to turn you into a Cowboys fan, much to your dad’s chagrin.

Taliesin, this guy might just be your favorite outside of Matt and your sister. They’re just so weird.

You start a childish investigation to find out if they're a real life vampire.

When you get too close, Taliesin makes you his minion, tasking you to spread mischief wherever you deem fit.

For the first week after you’d met them in person, only five, you were convinced their name was Talespin.

Which led to a running joke amongst the others, singing bits of the theme song now and then when you’d get the name wrong.

You beg to dye your hair the same way they do so you can be matching. To pacify you, Marisha agrees to the temporary hair chalk.

When you’re a bit older, you do get to dye the ends electronic blue.

Always messing around behind camera with Brian, or Max, who are usually assigned babysitting duty.

Henry is your bestest California friend in the whole wide world.

There’s always a week at the end of the summer where they tone down the inappropriateness so they aren’t sending you, the angel, back to your parents completely fallen from grace.

As for the Critters.

There was a definite period where there were rumors circulating you were one of the cast members' kids. (Popular theory being you belong to Laura and Travis).

Often showing up in the background, passing through sets, or just a small voice off screen, the critters were curious.

The cast, especially your sister, was careful to keep your face out of social media posts. When you were pictured, your face would be covered by an emoji or shrouded from view.

Then you landed your first voice acting role as a recurring character on Disney channel’s Sofia the First. You were to voice the youngest royal sibling, Ethan/Anna (sshhh, just pretend they’re a character.)

Omg Travis voices King Roland. I didn’t even realize til I wrote this.

Your sister just had to brag, which lead to your formal introduction to the Critter community, “Our favorite little Critter just landed their fist role!”

Suffice to say, the Critter community, for better or worse, lost their minds. Many praised your accomplishment and voiced their opinion on how adorable you were. Others complain and criticize, probably out of jealousy for your close relationship with their favs.

The negative comments were largely drowned out by the positive ones and those that managed to draw attention were hidden from you, as your sister was in charge of your new media presence.

If someone ever does step to you while you’re staying with your sister, they’ve just placed an invisible target on themselves that all the Crit role staff would love to aim for.

The Critters beg for you to make a guest appearance just once in their campaign.

They decide to make that one of their stretch goal rewards for their Vox Machina Kickstarter.

A goal the Critter’s quickly surpassed.

This you make your DnD Critical Role debut during the second campaign.

You sat right next to your sister between her and Travis, which allowed them to help with the math.

You’re obsessed with Laura and Travis’s baby.

Almost seven(?} at the time, you played a child changeling/warlock who was on the run because of their unruly magical abilities.

You were so believably awkward, and apologetic, and humor was soon to follow whenever your character's magic would have a mind of its own.

Your character’s relationship with Liam’s Caleb quickly became favored by the Critters.

Your little annoyingly curious warlock and his rough around the edges wizard.

You made it to the end of the episode but not without having to roll some death saving throws after a misfire on Liam's account.

Luckily, Taliesin and Laura refused to let you die. Marisha definitely gave Liam a few good slaps for nearly killing your character.

Nonetheless, your character survived to part ways, but left the possibility open for returning and maybe even studying under Caleb one day.

A cute moment the chat loses their minds over.

There’s plenty of art of your character apprenticing under Caleb.

The Critters immediately begin to campaign your character’s glorious return.

You are an amazingly kind and talented child.

As you get older, you take more of an interest in voice acting resulting in you moving out to California full time (you, of course, still love and visit your parents).

You’re an endlessly positive and humorous child to be around and work with.
