Beauty and the Beast centric VM and Mighty Nein? S/O is cursed to take the form of a beast and the VM/MN S/O helps to break the curse?
Eeekk yes! I dig this!!
Keyleth
If you ever felt insecure about your beast form, the Druidess is so sweet and good to you, shifting in form to help you feel more comfortable around her
Caleb
You and him bond over what has always been a shadowy part of your lives, and even to the mage, he thinks you’re a true vision in beast form
Jester
To the tiefling, it feels like something out of one her romance novels, but the reality of it with you has all the highs and lows that she would never trade for anything else
Essek
He’s naturally curious about your condition and wants to learn more about it, learn more about you. Scouring over every book to read up on what can help you
Grog
The ax wielding barbarian just thinks you look awesome, are awesome, and your beast and/or human form always looks perfect in his eyes
Pike
She feels safe with you, always makes you feel good about yourself, and looks up to you
Vax’ildan
He feels less “alone” with you, your form and his raven wings are the parts of each other you find comfort in
Beau
The monk will admit she was bit scared when she saw your beast form
Yasha
Another soul you find solace with, and it doesn’t hurt that her soft voice equally matches the
Fjord
The half orc has traveled the seas and seen all sights, and you are an eldritch oddity and beauty to him.
Percy
As an individual who dealt with a demon, he knows what it’s like to be taken to that edge but even you in your state are not like that and knowing your vulnerabilities urges him to protect you
Nott/Veth
As someone who has gone through her own transformation, she relates to you so much and you bond fast over time.
Mollymauk/Kingsley
He had seen all walks of life, big and small, in the circus with Yasha so your beast form does not scare him. Rather you feel flattered by his sweet compliments of “darling you’re fabulous”
Vex’ahlia
She was hesitant to let you join the party at first, but seeing as how protective you are to the party in beast form, it just becomes some unspoken thing for you to stay. Over time, she begins to trust you, talk to you more, and wants to learn more about you
Cadeuces
He is ever the calm and collected individual who keeps you grounded during transformations, and he promises you that he’ll find a way, whatever he can to help you.

Armored
The start of a fic set in regards to a conversation that happened between my partner and me in regards to Tieflings using their tails for various things.
M9 x Reader
slight mollymauk x reader
slightly suggestive but that's up to interpretation
Find it on AO3
----------------
You were staring. You knew it. Molly knew it. Everyone knew it and it was starting to get weird. 
It wasn’t the first time Molly had been stared at, being part of a carnival for a while, but the Nein were a bit more cautious about where they looked so as to not garner unwanted attention. Yet here you were; deep in thought, unmoving, and staring at his tail. At first he thought you were just staring into space so he started moving the appendage back and forth to be sure, only to have your eyes follow its every move. 
Glancing towards the rest of the crew with a smirk he lifts his tail to eye height, your eyes faithfully following.
“Glad you were able to find my eyes darling.”
“Why don’t you use your tail as a whip?”
He freezes at the random sentence. “I — What?”
You finally focus on his face. “Your tail. Why don’t you use it as a whip? I’ve seen both you and Jester lash your tails fairly quickly and it's about the width of my whip.” You place your bullwhip on the table, unwrapping part of it. 
Jester was the first to recover “That would hurt tho.” 
You look over. “Not if you wrap or braid it with leather or something. You’d essentially be making a new piece of armor that protects your tail. Plus you could probably find a blacksmith and get a piece of metal that you could place over the end that would be sharper to help deal damage.” 
“Almost like a stinger on a wasp.” Yasha responds, entering the conversation. “You could grapple with your arms and wrap around with your tail.” 
“Even without wrapping I feel like it wouldn’t be too different from clotheslining someone with an arm.” Beau leans forward, now entrenched in the idea. 
You nod. “It would probably hurt more than that, considering that the amount of contact would be smaller.”
“We could even get different things to attach to the end!” Jester states, pulling out her sketchbook and scribbling down some ideas while muttering to herself.  
Molly, finally snapping out of it, leans forward onto the table. “Your brain never ceases to amaze darling. Where did this come from?” 
You stare at him in confusion, slowly raising the bullwhip from the table. “You have something attached to your ass that looks like a shorter version of my main weapon of choice. I have seen you actively move it however you want. Why are you so surprised I asked this question?” 
Beau laughs. “Molly they say the most out of pocket shit that I have ever heard. You can’t be surprised by this. Between the threats of shaving people bald, wanting to make mimics their pet, and responding to things with random noises that make no sense, I'm just happy there’s some logic in this one.” 
Fjord, Caleb, and Nott sit down with new drinks, Nott speaking up first. “We making fun of Y/N and their mannerisms?” Jester jumps in, quickly explaining the small conversation that had happened while they were away, leaving you able to lean over to Molly. 
“You know, I could just braid a fabric around your tail for fun.” 
Molly looks back to you. “Oh?” 
“Wrap it up, put some charms on the fabric. Could even do so as to match the rest of your attire. Doesn’t have to be a defensive thing.” 
Molly smirks. “Was this just a long con to be able to play with my tail darling? You know all you need to do is ask.” 
You shrug with a smile, a glint in your eye that Molly quite enjoys. “But now Jester has an option to use to get alone time with a certain green someone.” 
Molly barks a laugh “Oh you clever little thing you.” All you respond with is an eyebrow wiggle as you drink your ale.

Did you get a request? It's headcanons of dating Mollymauk, Essek, Caleb and Fjord. Thanks!
Love me some Crit Role prompts, hope you like 'em!
Mollymauk Tealeaf
Molly is chaos incarnate regardless of whether you are in a relationship with him or not. Your life with the Nein is never dull anyway, but especially not when Molly's around.
Molly, however, is also incredibly smart for essentially being two years old. He's perceptive and picks up things about people very quickly. He is also adept at using that knowledge for his own benefit. All this to say, he picks up on your crush on him very quickly.
And uses this knowledge for evil...
...constantly.
Molly flirts with you every chance he gets with every possible idea he can think of just to see what kind of reaction he can get. He's incorrigible, but you blush all the same.
Don't worry! He also finds a nice time to chat with you when the two of you are on watch and lets you know that he has become just as fond of you. He, "just likes teasin' you, love."
Will find every opportunity to make you laugh or smile and is your biggest supporter and defender on and off the battlefield.
He's your circus man. He loves you fiercely, loudly, and sweetly as the world allows him for as a long as he can.
Essek Thelyss
Essek is a very difficult man to get to know. But, it has been scientifically proven that he can be worn down. Just keep at it.
Once you find something to bond over, Essek can be very sweet. He, despite any attempts he makes to instruct others that he does not, has a very big heart and cares an awful lot about the people he allows to really see him.
If you have a problem he will do whatever he can, within his abilities and around his busy schedule, to help you.
He is very hard on himself and in some instances probably should be to a degree, but you have to be there to stop him and that brilliant but treacherous brain of his from hurting his poor heart and soul.
Watch out for him please. He's battling a lot.
A relationship with Essek would be a sweet and loving one but it would also be fraught with the dangers of the lines he walks on a daily basis. The good news is, the love the two of you share is more than enough to whether it.
Caleb Widogast
Caleb, like Essek, cares very deeply for those around him. But, unfortunately also like Essek, also suffers through a lot of mental and emotional torment of his own making.
He's gotten better being with you and the Nein but you can tell that he still struggles. The kind of things he's been through are not things you can simply forget. He may need your help in the mental fight against his demons every once and a while.
Caleb would need a lot of coaxing to get him to really open up to you about his feelings for you (I mean we all saw how he got around Jester sometimes). You might have to be the one to make the first move because he will likely have plans to keep that secret to himself until the end of time.
I feel like Caleb would oddly be really good at taking care of you? Like reminding you to get the proper amount fo sleep (after all, he knows exaclty how many hours you've been awake for), and eating the proper amount as well as taking breaks. But, at the same time, he is awful at doing that for himself. Watch this one, make sure he doesn't fall asleep with his head in a spell book.
I also imagine that Caleb, once you get to a certain point of comfort in the relationship, is as cuddly as his cat. Imagine that after a particularly long day, he just flops on top of you, absolutely exhausted, curling in to you. Probably mumbling things in Zemnian that makes absolutely no sense regardless of whether you speak the language or not. He's very tired, just hold him and let him sleep.
Caleb is a very attentive person and he remembers literally everything. He constantly mazes you by the things he remembers about you and your relationship. He loves you and that love comes through in the detail he puts into every magical creation that you are included in.
Fjord Stone
Fjord, Wildmother love him, constantly finds himself in ridiculous situations. You, as much as you love him, have to find the humor in it. You are always there to help him out, but you almost have to laugh at him sometimes. 
Regardless of his occasional fumbling, Fjord is very attentive and romantic. 
He finds his own ways to fluster you, finding moments to be almost comedically romantic like someone out of Jester’s novels.
He, being a Paladin, and a new one at that, most likely feels a need to protect or like he has to prove he can protect you. He knows you are fully capable of defending and protecting yourself and he never wants to step on your toes in that field (he, like everyone else mentioned, is a respectful boi) but he loves you and sometimes assumes that he needs to prove that he is worthy of loving you, prove that he can keep you safe, prove that he himself is safe for you to be around.
He knows how to make you smile in the simplest of ways. Whether it be a flower left for you, a kind word, a reassuring hand on your shoulder, Fjord somehow always manages to know when you need something sweet like that.

{❥} Authors Note - OOO YES of course! Oh so many feelings and probably a good lot of slow burn , perfect recipe for disaster and a whole lot of realization <3 - sorry if the essek one is a little *bleh.* Ive been watching supercuts for him but I also dont want to spoil myself since I know a lot of his story revolves around the later plot for campaign 2 , SOOOOO.... I tried lol. Though his was very entertaining to write for! {❥} Content Warnings: Mostly proofread , some depictions of “flame” for Calebs part (signifying feelings lol.) Also for Esseks describing love in a rather “painful” manner to put it. Other than that , I think that is all! Please let me know if I should add more in the comments :3c    ₊˚✧꒰ᑕᗩᒪEᗷ ᗯIᗪOGᗩᔕT꒱₊˚✧ ・ That night originally was so peaceful, staring out at the moonlit sky with some of your other friends. Though as you conversed, you never expected to have everything get turned upside down. It was all so fast, not being able to call for the others happily asleep tore you apart. ・ Trying to fight off your captors was a struggle, you thinking the four of you could easily get away. But no, you overstepped and it ended in the bunch of you getting taken away. Not without some battering in the process. ・ You didnt know where you were, trying so hard to break free from the manacles that trapped you. Never stopping to find a way out. Your fighting senses were not very much welcomed by your captors. They picked right through you and your friends. ・ Sadly you got dealt the short end of the stick with Yasha. Spending the majority of your time being captured, getting your absolute shit rocked. All of it was a blur, only remembering the beating that came to you. ・ The coldness of the stone under you welcomed you into sleep. You were staying unconscious with Yasha as well due to the Shepherds. If you WERE conscious, you would have known of the entrance of your friend plus a couple of newbies coming in to save you and the others. ・ After they dealt with everything and opened up Jester and Fjord's cell, they found you and Yasha’s. The others decided to have a search around the Iron Shepherd’s base, and Caleb decided to sit that out. Instead staying behind with the “out like a light” you and Yasha. ・ Seeing you, so hurt and bruised sent something through him. With how much he's known you (I imagine the same as much as he’s known Nott), it sent a feeling of urgency through him. It wasnt like he was scared shitless before, but that made him feel that pit plummet even more. ・Laying there as the others went to go search around, he couldnt stop looking over at you. Those embers grew more and more, becoming a fire in his chest. What was this? , he hadn't really felt it in a while. What was this urgency? You were another one of his companions, why was he feeling all warm on the inside? ・Just like with Astrid and Eadwolf, that fire blazed to high heaven. This stood out to him, and the repeatings of “no no no no…” trailed along in his avoidant mind. He could bare to rid you of the burden of him being in love with you. A lot had happened in only a couple of days, which led him to lie to himself. ・He halted his flooding paranoia to a stop. Taking a breath in, he can think about this later and let it tare him apart. Now he just has to wait for the others to come back. He went on to clear his mind, rattling on directly to the unconscious Yasha next to him. ₊˚✧꒰ ᖴᒍOᖇᗪ ꒱₊˚✧ ・Even though Fjord could portray the persona of a calm and collected fighter, he was far from it. Under that mushy shell of suave southern charm and gentlemen' manners, was but a man. When he got to know you better, he didnt feel like he had to push up this sort of image. ・Originally he had met you the same way he met Jester. You had hitched a ride with the giddy blue tiefling. Trying to get away from some sort of mystery creeping up on you. Stumbling into him, he couldn’t help but trip over his own two feet. He could remember seeing you, watching over as Jester was messing with a few surrounding individuals. ・The way the Port Damali sun shaped your ever-so-collected features. You looked so excited watching your friend (who he would get to know as Jester) using magic to play her little tricks. Something about her and you formed a bubble of thoughts in his ever-expanding curiosity. Your big bright grin almost drew him closer. With this new set of abilities recently gifted to him, this display did defiantly catch his attention ・Fast forwarding to the present time, after trying to travel to the goal of the Solstice Academy in Rexxentrum: now everything was uprooted after meeting the band of assholes you got to know as your newfound friends. Even though he had bumped into you two and traveled alongside the both of you for quite some time, once you joined the “Mighty Nein” your relationship grew stronger in a sense. ・More comfortable with friendly banter, a trust was formed. It would only grow stronger as your party became more and more active. Though you could always be assured that Fjord always showed his loyalty in more ways than one Even if it was shown in smaller, more contained doses, he could and would always be by your side. He may have had appearances to keep up but rest assured that there were some times his heart couldn’t stop doing summer saults for you. ・With all of the chaos that rained throughout you and your parties' adventures, things got a little less hectic once you guys left the Dwendalian Empire and went down to the Menagerie Coast in Nicodranas. ・It was a more free-spirited atmosphere and you enjoyed the constant comfortable weather along with the wonderful ocean. Fjord was oh so overjoyed seeing you taking a liking to the place, being that you were a part of the group percentage that didnt really know of the gorgeous sandy beaches that inhabited the Menagerie Coast/Nicodranas.・He could clearly tell though that you were excited about Jester meeting her mother again. You and the girl were as close as could be , you held her really close to your heart. The same went for everyone else in the group. Fjord always admired how you always had that signature friendly air around you. Even if the person is a shopkeeper or a drunk you kept constant conversation with , you were never one for a boring environment. ・After you all become acquainted with the Ruby of the Sea , or better known as Marion Lavorre , you all end off your official first day in Nicodranas with some very rampant shenanigans. Now with the Gentleman potentially being Jesters father? That was a lot to rap all your heads around , especially Jesters. But with the suggestions of Fjord and the rest of the party , everyone decided to head to bed with how late it was. ・Right as everyone was getting used to their new rooms in the Lavish Chateau , you struck up conversation with Fjord about the new realizations that came to ahead. He could clearly see how you were worried for Jester , more so around the fact that this is such new news. Fjord listened to your steady rant about how this could mean so many things. You were really just getting your thoughts out into the air , and Fjord listened to it all. ・He racked your brain as well , though rangled your rampant stream of thought to a stop. Saying that they can figure it out more on on a later date. Which you agreed to , apologizing for keeping him up so late. He didn’t fuss though , instead giving you a warm smile and quelling your worries. He watched as you walked away , you both sharing a “goodnight” before hearing your door make an audible closing noise. ・He leaned against his door frame as he stared down that hallway of rooms , his eyes lingering on your door. Which was when he realized everything , when everything clicked together. He was in love... with you. There was nothing that stopped his brain from pointing this out , and why would he stop it? He wasn’t frightened about it or nervous , just relatively happy! ・You were one of the strongest sparks in his life , you were tethered to him if he liked it or not. He didn’t fight it at all and was just relieved to know this information. Though would he act on it? No of course , you as a group had things to do. He didnt want his feelings to blind him in any sort of way. Which meant he was going to let this meddle , keeping the new revelation close to his heart. ・Taking one final look at your door he would let out a content sigh before turning into bed. He would fully let sleep take over his mind , content with this day. He wasn’t going to fight what he felt for you , instead embracing it. He was in love with you and.. he was okay with that. ₊˚✧꒰ EᔕᔕEK TᕼEᒪYEᔕᔕ ꒱₊˚✧ ・At first meeting Essek was many things. Being in the same vicinity as the “Bright Queen” and in her court already made you tremble in ferocious anxiousness. Mainly because that woman had a certain look that could impale thousands of hearts. All of a sudden , as you and the group were here to get Yussa to freedom, she sent one of her shadowhands with you to escort you down to the dungeons. ・A smirk caught at the tip of your lips when you all were escorted by him. The sharp-chinned drow was definitely appealing in the eyes. His calm but calculated demeanor definitely matched his voice , smooth and cold like sharp icicles. You couldnt help but giggle to yourself like a school girl inside your conciousness , though outside you made sure to keep your composure. ・Impressions for him were wildly different. He wasn’t one for much care in this situation, following to do what he was told. Though he was definitely one that fell harder as your group became more inside his circle of faces he knew. ・When the group got to know him on a more personal level , so did you to him. Especially taking a liking of him , as a bright eyed explorer of the arcane. As you too shared a more ... competitive conversation in a sense after Caleb tried to convince him to the upmost charming manner (and of course succeed) , he even decided to give you some knowledge for new spells that involved Dunamancy. ・You were very open to every ounce of what the Dunamancy offered , no selfishness or greed at all when he explained to you some of the ties that came with those certain spells he would go on about for hours. All you did was listened , which is why you were so around him in the first place after hours. He was clearly taking a liking to you as well , again in smaller doses. But he was getting more friendly to you in his most of all Essek ways. ・When it wasn’t Jester sharing messages over to him about what was going on with the use of “Sending” , you would take a knack at it. One way or another you always got a comfortable chuckle out of him , already sinking your fangs into his affection. Sooner than he knew it , a burning feeling would grow in his chest. ・A painful , but heavy feeling emanated in his heart. His mind winced at the sudden intrusion of this but it slowly became more of a constant ... like the thought of you did in his mind. He tried to shake it off as best as he could , pushing those thoughts down into the pits with the fact that this had to mean NOTHING. It couldn’t and wouldn’t mean anything... or so he thought. ・It especially haunted his mind once he got more into his nefarious business and the situation grew more impactful so to say. The thought of hurting you and his new friendship with your group pained him. Though he had to keep faces up and work on what dealings were made with the Cerberus assembly and so on. ・His internal thoughts came to ahead when you and your friends found out how interloped he was with the chaos that was plagued around your every move. He couldn’t help but feel oh so ashamed, with the sudden realization of the betrayal that he caused with you all. Feeling so very very idiotic as if , within his mind , burning the bridge that he had with your party.   ・Though to his utter surprise, your friends extended a hand out to him. A hand of both un-earthed vulnerability and understanding. Just with him coming forward about everything that was going on , his expectations for how that all was going to go down were very much flipped. ・Everyone shared words of encouragement with him, and words of as well - guarded forgiveness. But what you had told him most definitely left an impression on him and his mental state. The whole time when you all were talking about what he was interloped in, your eyes were trained on him and his presence. Something to say was most, of course forming in your mind. He could clearly see it as your facial features ever so slightly moved. ・You extended a hand to him and figuratively opened your heart up. Giving him a light at the end of the tunnel. Saying that everyone had some sort of redemption for them, especially if they decide to choose a more cleaner path. It was as if you sucked the pain out of him, that had gone widespread in his brain capsule of a head space. ・That once burning, aching feeling clicked in his heart. As Nott extended an invitation to the Mighty Nein, he finally realized what his brain was so panicked about. Finding a name for the one thing that especially plagued him. His love... for you. The love that kept him up at night, that had him pacing around halls when thoughts of you sprung up from his mental depths. ・The word repeated in his mind... love. Love love love love love, that's what it was.                                                    ﹌﹌﹌ {❥} Part Two or “Mollymauks” part

Heya! I had this idea a while back and it's just been growing for a while. What about an M9 x reader who sings under their breath when they need to remember something on a shopping trip or just in general? Like they forget what they needed and they associate a song with it and that's how they keep track of things?
S/O Singing To Help Remember Things
Fandom: Critical Role, Campaign 2
Characters: Beauregard Lionette, Caleb Widogast, Fjord, Jester Lavorre, Mollymauk Tealeaf, Veth Brenatto, Yasha
Type of Request: Headcanons
Notes: I didn’t include Caduceus just because it’s not specified rather his is supposed to be platonic or not.
Tumblr media
Mighty Nein
Beau has to do a double take to make sure she’s not imaging the music coming from nowhere. Then she realizes it’s you. She can’t help but tease you for it a bit but she does think it’s cute. Offers to just write you a list or notes instead, if you want. She’s a good note taker.
Caleb kind of just stares at you the first time it happens, but doesn’t say anything. He kind of just remembers everything, but he enjoys your singing. Even if you’re not the best at singing, it becomes a routine that he enjoys.
Fjord has the memory of a goldfish so when he’s alone so he often finds a reason to go with you. Honestly, your songs end up stuck in his head and he ends up using them to remember things himself. Might find himself singing them to himself and can’t help a chuckle when he realizes.
Jester sings with you. She doesn’t know what you’re singing, but she keeps to the tune and throws out lines that go with whatever subject you have. You might not be able to remember what you’re trying to find, but she’s having fun singing with you.
Molly ends up whistling along with you. Just to add to whatever little song you create. He’s not going to question you about it, it’s a cute habit you have and he likes it. Might tease you about whatever song you make later though.
Veth tries to sing with you but ends up butchering whatever you’re singing with her high, squeaky voice. Does tell you that if you don’t remember something you need to buy that you shouldn’t worry because she’ll just steal it later!
Yasha can’t help a smile when you start singing to remember things. It’s a nice way to cut through the silence. Might tease you a little or see if she can match her bone harp to your song, but she just enjoys your presence and your impromptu music.

Day 1. Ghost sighting 🎃
-> Fjord Stone x GN!Reader
First of the Spooky Season Fics, hope you enjoy!
~ Poet
"You look like you've seen a ghost."
It's the first thing that leaves your lips when you come to, throat dry and scratchy, parched for water and in need of rest.
But rest can come later. For now, Fjord settles for pressing his forehead to yours, gripping your hand like a lifeline and held to his chest. The steady staccato of his heartbeat brings you back to the present, a less light hearted situation as you would prefer.
You had died on the battlefield, and come back.
He swallows a sob, choking on it with bitter laughter and salty tears, but you're real and alive and breathing and in his arms where you are safe from this world. You hear a barely audible whimper, and you're not sure if it's your own or Fjord's, but the answer doesn't matter now.
"What can I say?" he manages, teary smile and all. His thumb rubs in soft circles over your cheek, tender. "You gave me quite a fright."

Change with the Tides (Part 7)
You felt cold stone before you had even opened your eyes. When you opened them, your hands were bound and a gag covered your mouth.
Jester and Fjord were huddled together in a corner, chained and gagged. Yasha was nowhere to be seen. 
As you shuffled toward the two, you became all too aware of the tiefling body you were in, although the clothes were still yours. You closed your eyes and tried to drop the form, but no change was happening, and the weight of horns still drove into your head.
A muffled voice came from the corner, and you looked over to Jester staring at you. She tries to speak through the gag again, and you know whose name she’s saying.
You shook your head, still trying to shift as the tears started streaming down your face.
You wanted to scream. You wanted to rip Lorenzo limb from limb. 
The door opened, and a quick pull on your chains had you rolling towards Lorenzo. When you were at his feet, trying to sit up with your hands behind you, he lifted you by the collar of your shirt, his mouth mere inches from your face. 
“Shift.” he whispered, spit hitting your face.  When you didn’t immediately complete his demand, he gripped your shirt tighter, punching you hard in the stomach, winding you. As you hunched in the air, he dropped you. 
Your knees gave out as you hit the stone, still attempting to catch your breath when a boot came flying towards you. Lorenzo’s foot hit you right in the nose, and you reeled back. 
“Don’t worry, we’ll fix you.” He smirked, grabbing your chain and dragging you out of the cell, Fjord now awake and shouting through his gag beside Jester. 
Beat to shit, you’re returned to the cell, a swollen eye and cuts all over you, bruises on your arms and neck. 
It’s almost impossible for you to stay awake, you're just curled against the wall you were thrown at. 
Maybe a day or so later of you, Fjord, and Jester all slipping in and out of consciousness, you hear a collection of loud crashes beyond the cell. The unmistakable sound of Caleb’s heavy accent and Beau’s shouting fills you with hope. 
Once the crashes subside, you listen through the silence, unable to move as the door creaks open, waking up Fjord and Jester.
The tiny, unmistakable form of Nott is standing in the doorway. The goblin smirked in the doorway. 
“Case closed.”
Nott works quickly to unbind Jester, then moves to help you while Jester undoes Fjord's chains. 
As you all leave the cell behind, you try once again to shift. A firbolg, tall and pink hair, looks at you quietly. You see Beau drag an unconscious, but healed, Yasha from a separate cell. 
Caleb and Beau both freeze when they see you.
“Where’s Y/N?” Jester says, a hint of panic in her voice.
Beau, Nott and Caleb all look at you.
“Jester.” You start saying, taking a very slow step towards her, your voice your own, rough and scratchy but still yours. “I’m sorry.”
The thought seemed to click in her head. Her hands covered her face as tears pooled in her eyes .”Where’s Molly?” Her voice broke.
“He didn’t make it.” Beau said, talking gentler than you’ve ever heard.
“Was it when we heard you guys? In the caravan? I heard you call for Molly!” Full tears streamed down Jester's face. You tried to shift again. To make your appearance anything but Mollymauk. 
“He tried his best.” Nott said, barely louder than a whisper, “He got right in Lorenzo’s face. He just wasn’t strong enough.”
“We got cocky, and underestimated our enemies.” Beau again, still looking at you. Her eyes had been on you since you emerged from the cell. “Y/N, for fucks sake shift into someone else.”
You flinched at the anger in her voice, and while you tried to think of how to explain what was happening, Fjord spoke for you, a gentle hand on your shoulder.
“I don’t think they can at the moment. Lorenzo was trying to make them shift.” He touched his own broken nose, “Was kind of pissed they couldn’t actually. It’s probably the only reason Y/N is still here, Beau.”
“Let’s just get out of this dungeon. These assholes have to have something expensive we can sell.” Beau said, and others followed. 
 You watched them walk up the stairs, Jester and Fjord helping each other walk. 
Caleb was the last person in the line. When he reached the bottom of the stairs, he turned to you, holding a hand out, one foot on the bottom step. “Come on, Y/N, we’ll figure it out together.” 
And you took a few steps, reaching toward Caleb, and the wizard helped you up the stairs as much as he could.
Unknown to you and Caleb, the purple of your skin faded lightly.

The Mighty Nein Masterlist

Hello :), id love to request a kingsley x reader where theyre a member of his new pirate crew perhaps first mate after he steals that ship from fjord at the end of campain 2
Sorry for the wait on this one! Too many ideas to approach this request turned into procrastination but I finished it! It's pining, it's sweet and fluffy. Hope you like how it turned out! And right in time for the Mighty Nein reunited! 😘
He still doesn’t quite know how this happened or when and don’t get him started on the why’s because every time he tries listing them, he can’t put actual words to it; you’re just everything perfect. When did he turn into some fictional cliché? His fellow chaos maker tiefling would use this to fuel her next novel to be sure. Captain falls in love with his first mate. A match made in hell. Perfect. Just perfect. Kingsley’s tried to play it cool but during mealtimes he finds himself sit next to you, relishing in even just smalltalk. When you have a shift together he’ll be paying more attention to you than to what he’s supposed to be on watch for. When another totally unavoidable skirmish arises, he worries for your safety and always makes sure he’s within some kind of reachable range because he feels safer when you’re near. He trusts few people, and you are no exception. You’re all pirates after all. But unlike anyone else, he actually wants to trust you. He wants to be able to count on you, as you can count on him. Were he ever to tell you this, you’d laugh in his face of course. The last deckhand that did, you literally laughed in the poor man’s face. He’d rather not be verbally torn apart and take that wound to his heart. 
You look over the waves, your post at the helm is one you take seriously. You always have. You’re the goddamn first mate of this ship. You do your best to ignore the staring of your captain who is rather disinterested in the suggestions of the bosun, and favours simply nodding or humming along, when he looks past. He’s focussed on you. You feel heat rise to your cheeks but luckily the appearance of such could be brushed off as the harsh wind cutting at your face. Those ruby eyes, you cannot set out of your mind. Are you not doing your job correctly? Are your capabilities being brought in question? Is there doubt in your loyalty to this ship, to this crew? Did you do something wrong? Are you no longer worthy of this position? All these questions are easier to ask, to consider than to admit to the truth you’re denying; that’s the stare of admiration. There’s a tap on your shoulder and you nearly jump out of your skin. It’s just the helmsman ready to relieve you. 
You retreat into your own mind, build a shield to keep your thoughts from going rampant as you make your way down the steps onto the main deck. It’s probably a good thing you have got your sea legs because a particular wave has some catch themselves just in time. Kingsley, who you missed was midway towards you, lunges and barely manages to catch himself on the railing of the stairs. You didn’t even realise he had moved, but now he stands in your path. Quickly you respond out of reflex, catch his other arm, and help him back to stable feet. Everything around feels numb but the moment you touch him, feel his hand wrap around your lower arm, as you balance him, your cold skin burns and find yourself short of breath, eyes wide. 
“Looks like I can count on my first mate to save me collecting my teeth from the deck.” Kingsley appears as short of breath as you. The moment you’re sure he’s stable again, you pull your arm from his grasp and step around him without another word, making for the stairs down below deck. The tiefling watches you go, and you move so fast, or perhaps his mind has slowed that much. He can’t say anything else, do anything else. You’re gone and he won’t follow. 
So ends another day. And he’ll spend the next night staring at the ceiling of his cabin, unable to take his mind off you; the electricity that ran through his veins when you caught him, and the numbness when you let go. It may sound cliche but when he stood so near to you, when you held onto him, he felt as if he had never seen the world in colour, had never used his senses to their full extend, suddenly everything made sense yet nothing at all did but he couldn’t care less, and when you rushed away, you took that feeling with you and he felt lost again. He’ll day dream about that feeling because he could not find sleep until the early hours of morning. He’s completely and utterly in love with his first mate. No way around it anymore. 
————
Kingsley dodges a punch as someone tosses a chair at another drunkard. The tavern took a turn for the better when an incredibly dull night turned into a bar fight, and a glorious one at that. He’s pretty sure he’ll be covered in bruises, the bloodstains he’ll never get out of his shirt, his knuckles are busted, and his nose just might be broken, still he is filled with cheer and adrenaline. The next punch to the gut sparks it only further as he counters by grabbing the arm, getting close and delivering a punch straight to the face of his opponent. Knocked out cold. Next. He’s distracted when he sees a familiar flash resembling your shape, legs wrapped around someone’s shoulders as they desperately try to throw you off, but you hold on tight, even when your back hits that thankfully sturdy table. This time you let go and deliver a perfect kick to the throat and get back up to tackle the next one coming at you. Then for just a brief second things go dark as pain erupts through his head. He recovers, looking for the source to see the blurred form of some kind of brute. Did he just get punched in the face? His ears are ringing. Just barely does he manage to deflect the brunt of the next hit. 
You let out a battle cry as you kick low, high and strike. You’ll have to admit that when this fight started you were exhausted and didn’t feel like getting into the fray. You don’t exactly know why it started but your captain seemed to be one half of it and then it became crew against crew, and the rest of the bar got pulled in. Your exhaustion faded quickly when some poor sod made the wrong call and made you spill your drink. Screw exhaustion. That’s what you told yourself because in reality, you felt your blood boil when Kingsley took a foul hit. You’ve been on a good track record for the past few minutes. Sustained some damages yourself, but nothing you couldn’t handle. You’ll probably be sore in the morning and have some bruises to show for the eventful evening but such is your life. Everyone needs a good bar fight every once in a while. Every once in a while you’d check up on your captain, search for him in the room. When you have the opportunity to do next, you see him cornered, disoriented and opposing a man twice his size. He takes another hit and is thrown against the table, it shattering beneath the impact of his weight. 
The groan on his breath is cut short as air escapes his lungs and he’s coughing. He barely has time to recover or get up when he’s grabbed by the front of his shirt, the movement registering a second or two later than it should. The brute in front of him has no intentions of letting him go it seems. Squinting he’s pretty sure this is the first mate of the captain he went fist to cuffs with in the first place. Maybe this wasn’t one of his better ideas. Does he have any regrets? No. That captain is short a couple of teeth. Serves ‘em right. Though, given his place now, he might be short a couple of teeth. The punch is incoming and while he does his best to deflect, there isn’t much he can do to turn this into a favourable position for him, so he prepares for the impact best he can though he doubts he’ll be awake to make any counter move. Then, it rains something, shatters. Glass. Glass shatters above him. His opponent goes dazed and the hold weakens. Next a fist swings to bring home the attack and the brute hits the floor with a heavy thud. He’s grabbed by the front of his shirt again and when he thinks the next blow is coming, he just focusses in on your face. With force you get him to his feet, never letting go of the red stained linen as you pull him along, dancing around other fighting patrons until the cool night’s air hits him. He hears shouts behind, but you run, and thus force him along until the sounds muffle and he walks the plank onto the ship. 
Out of breath you set the tiefling on one of the crates on deck as you bend over, take a deep breath and straighten again. Kingsley watches as you run a hand through your hair, and wipe some remnants of blood from your cheek. Your gaze turns to him, analytical. You check him for injury, step close, hold his chin, move his face, touch some scrapes to which he hisses in discomfort, then look him straight on. You hold his nose between both your index fingers and give him a serious look. He can feel the crunch back in his skull as you reset it. He tastes metal on his tongue. Blood. You press a scrap of cloth to his nose and when his response is too slow for your liking, grab his hand and make it take over the position you held it in. 
“You good?” You ask. You sound mostly neutral, as if you would have after any fight he’s gotten into. There’s a hint of exhilaration. Good to know you had your fun too. What strikes him though is the concern that’s hidden beneath. You’re actually concerned for his wellbeing? 
“Yeah.” He groans leaning back only for you to interfere. Right. He’s sitting on a crate. “Saved me yet again. What would I do without you?” 
“You’ve got brain damage. And you’re drunk.” You roll your eyes.
“I’d hate to tell you, but I’m perfectly sober. The brain damage? Now that, I won’t make any statements on.” Ever the witty remarks you snort and cross your arms. 
“Oh really? Captain Kingsley, started a bar fight perfectly sober? What would the people say?” You retort. Maybe it’s the buzz of what little alcohol you did manage to consume, or the adrenaline beginning to wear off but it’s so easy again. You don’t feel like you’re running away from a truth right now. This moment, is just so easy. 
“There’s the sass I love.” He grins. He’s missed this. The times where you’re so easy going. You’ve been avoiding him, you’ve been distant and he’s missed this nature of yours, the one you reserve only for public settings and anything not to do with your person. And yet you close up again after that comment. Your shoulders move in and you rub your arm, only to be reminded of the forming bruises when you find your skin tender. 
“Do I want to know why this fight even started?” You try to change the subject, ignore the comment, pretend it was never said. Love. Love. Love. The word echoes through your mind. Kingsley sighs deeply and the usual attitude dissipates for a slightly more serious one.
“I don’t think you’ll like the answer.” His eyes cast downward. At first you’re brushing it off like a child being caught doing something they shouldn’t but then you see it for what it really is; avoidance. Like you’re avoiding certain things. Your heart clenches. You bite your tongue. No more running. May this tail-end of an adrenaline rush give you the courage to see this through. 
“Humour me.” He looks up and you see his eyes. Gone is the playfulness he usually displays, or the self-confidence and pride. The fuel of an epic bar fight is not enough to linger. 
“A captain from another ship had some choice of words about someone I happen to care about.” Kingsley admits. “I asked the captain if he’d like to take back his words. He did not.” 
“So you punched him in the face?” He drops the rag from his nose, the bleeding stopped and wipes away the remaining blood best he can before he simply shrugs. It’s not like he’s going to deny it and he’d do it all over again in a heartbeat. 
“They were some very offensive words. I take it to heart when my first mate is brought into question.” You thought you could brush over the implication it might have been you, not wanting to get any false hope but this blatant confirmation, that’s it. A small smile creeps onto your features and a warm and fuzzy feeling spreads through out. 
“So what you’re saying is, you knocked out another captain because they insulted me, spiked the ire of their crew until a tavern brawl erupted in which you took a further beating to the point I had to save your ass before their first mate could return the favour?” You step closer and closer until you’re right in front of him. Kingsley looks up at you nodding along and getting smugger with the second. That pride returns. 
“When you say it like that-“ You press your lips to his, your hands falling to his cheeks when he responds to your affections gleefully. Without breaking the kiss he scoots over on the crate and makes space for you. You sit next to him, thigh pressed against his, as you feel a warm palm against your cheek, and the other brushes along your arm, onto your shoulder until it settles on the small of your back and pulls you closer. 
Many things run through his head and most thoughts come as fast as they go because he has no room for anyone but you in his mind. At surface it’s easy. The taste of your lips; remnants of the ale mixed with some metallic taste of blood either yours, or his or both. Then when he feels daring enough to brush his tongue against you and you respond favourably he continues. He feels your arms move from his cheeks where they cupped his face curve around until you wrap your arms around his neck and allow yourself to move closer against him. He runs his fingers along your cheek, into your hair where they tangle, the other pressing against the small of your back, brushing along in gentle circles. Secondly words finally appear in his head, cohesive strings of thought; why did he wait so bloody long? This now, this moment is a blessing but if this is how you feel, and might have felt ever since you retreated from him, he should have done this earlier, should have confronted you earlier and cleared up that misunderstanding. 
Thirdly, Kingsley wants this moment to last forever. He’d fight an entire armada on his own if it meant you would grace him a kiss, even just a single one. But you do pull apart. Forehead against his, eyes still closed, he takes in the proximity to you. previously when you had a moment of physical closeness, you’d bolt the first chance you got. He hopes you won’t. He hopes you’ll stay. But he still makes it clear; if you think this a mistake, something you regret now, you can. He would never hold something like that against you. Sure it would hurt his feelings, but such is the way of life. It’s not just his word that matters here. If you are not one-hundred percent behind this, then it simply should not happen. He wants to be sure you don’t feel there’s no way back, that you feel trapped or like you have to but then he feels your lips peck his once final time before you pull back, unwrap your arms from him as he lets go of you. What he does not expect is for you to grab onto one of his hands, and pick the rag with the other, only to press it to his nose again.
“Your nose bleeding again.” You try to hide your gentle laughs as he just shakes his head in amusement causing you to reach out quickly and hold his head still. Kingsley responds but you can’t make out the words so when you raise an eyebrow he pulls the rag away once more, holding you at the wrist ever so gently. 
“Injury. Forever to ruin the moment. At least I have a good healer.” 
“I’m a pirate. Not a healer.” You deadpan. “If you’d like me to go fetch the healer I’m sure he’s deep in his cups but should be perfectly-“ Kingsley grabs your hand when you poke at one of the forming bruises. 
“Oh, you think you’re funny now, aren’t you? Don’t backtalk to your captain.” You wipe away some more blood, and prevent any further response. 
“My dear captain seems to be incapacitated.” You hum. He pulls away the rag again. This time the bleeding seems to stop and you feel safe to put it down.
“Well then, first mate. I’m pretty sure that puts you in charge. What are your orders?” You grin and tap your chin. 
“I’m sure I can think of something.” You purse your lips every so lightly and Kingsley takes the opportunity to peck them in jest. He’ll have some ideas. Some inspiration for you. The ice has broken and with it all previous tensions. The morning can only tell how things will be when you’re both down from your adrenaline highs and when the world has returned to normal, or as normal as can be on this ship, given that Kingsley did just spark a conflict between his crew and another but he couldn’t care less. He lives in the moment and this is a good one. You’re living in the moment too. You can talk later about how much your lives have been one romantic cliche for the past few weeks.

cuddling headcanons
So I really love these, and also I wanted to add more after I got the request for Vox Machina. And following up the same one I write for Assassin’s Creed.
Link(s) here
Caleb
It took a lot of working through his nerves, but this mage can’t help but gravitate towards you. You wake up to a tight, desperate grip around you. Low whispers and murmurs that sweetly call out your name.
Jester
You’re not too surprised to see the tiefling wrapped tightly around you. She’s always been a huge cuddler, searching for warmth in every way
Fjord
A tight embrace with you atop a broad chest, strong forearms keeping you secure in place
Essek
Sometimes you wake up to an airy touch gracing your skin, or a tight grip that holds onto your hand(s) as if you’re his tether
Nott/Veth
Curled up and warmly snuggled between your arms, sighing away contentedly
Cadeuces
If you’re woken up, then gentle snores and sighs lull you back to sleep just as fast. Curled up against his chest, the sweet smell of tea(s) relaxes you
Beauregard
She’s got you in the tightest embrace ever, like the best thing that’s come across in her life. Don’t be surprised if a leg is wrapped/intertwined with yours as well.
Mollymauk/Kingsley
He’s a very light sleeper, so if you were to stir awake or move just the slightest, you hear a light purring as a hand or tail wraps around you to go back to sleep
Yasha
You wake up with a gentle hand absently brushing through your hair, a small whisper

Fear of the Past
Pairing: Kingsley Tealeaf x Reader, Past!Mollymauk Tealeaf x Reader, Good Friend Caduceus Clay
Warnings: Potential spoilers for The Mighty Nein Reunited
Word Count: 1,070
Tumblr media
“Caduceus?” you ask, interrupting the firbolg’s gardening.
“Hm?”
“Can I ask you something?”
Caduceus turns, taking in your nervous body language immediately. “Sure,” he says, handing you a small gardening tool, “As long as you don’t mind helping me with these vegetables.”
You take it, happy to help and have something to do with your hands besides twiddling your thumbs. “Sure!”
Caduceus quietly gardens with you for a moment, giving you the time to find the words you want to say.
“Sooooo…”
“So” he says.
“Sooo,” you begin again, “it’s been a while since we’ve all been together.” 
“Yeah,” Caduceus agrees, “It’s nice to see everybody again. Sorry I couldn’t make for the whole-”
“No, it’s okay,” you reassure him, “You and your family had a lot going on around here. Besides, something told me you wouldn't have been comfortable on a boat again. You had your fair share of that before.”
Caduceus chuckles. “Yeah. I’m sensing this isn’t what you wanted to talk about though.”
Your nervousness returns. It was one thing to battle these feelings in your head by yourself, it was a whole other thing to confide them with someone else, but here you go.
“You’re right,” you sigh, “I- I know you aren’t really the person to ask about this kind of thing but, honestly, you’re the only one I think I can really talk to about this.”
“Why’s that, if you don’t mind me asking” Caduceus says, pulling at a particularly entrenched piece of vegetation. 
“Well, Fjord and Caleb have their own romantic problems to be worried about, Jester and Veth would try to “fix it” by setting up a date, Beau would just make fun of me and I don’t think Yasha would have the sort of answers I’m looking for.”
“There’s a pretty important exclusion in that list” Caduceus notices.
“Yeah…” you respond.
“I see what’s going on now.”
“I just… I don’t know how to tell him how I feel without him worrying about Molly.”
“I see,” Caduceus says, growing a touch more serious. He sets his tools down and turns to face you fully. “I was a bit after Molly’s time, obviously, so I can’t really speak to what your experience was with him but, I can ask you this. Do you feel like your feelings for Kingsley are in any way residual from what you felt for Molly?”
“I used to think so.”
“Okay” Caduceus says, signaling for more.
“But… the more I got to know Kingsley as his own person outside of the other two, I think I feel in love all over again.”
“That’s great” Caduceus says, “Why don’t you just tell him that?”
“Caduceus.”
“What?”
“I can’t just do that.”
“Why not?”
“Because I- I’m scared.”
Caduceus smiles softly at you. “I can understand that.” He reaches over and grabs one of your hands and says, “But all things considered, I don’t think you have anything to really be scared of. You took on an entire floating city, brokered peace between two opposing nations, fought a giant sea snake recently and so many other things.”
“I didn’t do any of those things alone, Caduceus.”
“No,” he agrees, “and I’m not saying you don’t have a right to be afraid. Fear touches every living thing. But I don’t think you have anything to be worried about.” Caduceus tilts his head, indicating something behind you. “Because I think he’s scared too.”
Behind you, silently watching this conversation, is Kingsley in all his pirate glory. However, the stance he holds in this particular moment is not one befitting of a swashbuckler. He is trying to seem like he is uninterested but you catch him looking over at the two of you. There’s a fidgety nature to him, like he wants to do two things at the same time.
You do not have the power to read minds, but if you did you would understand that the newest Tealeaf is at war with himself in this moment. His feet and heart long to move toward you while his brain and body refuse to move by the same type of overwhelming fear that you expressed to Caduceus. 
Caduceus leans over to whisper to you, “You’re a hero. Go save him. You can help me with the garden after.”
The joke almost excuses the shove Caduceus bestows upon you but regardless, you’re moving in Kingsley’s direction. 
As you approach Kingsley reacts immediately, acting as if he had been looking the other way and just noticed you. It was a little silly and made you feel at least a little bit better about your own fears. 
“Oh, uh, hello dear, loving weather this afternoon” Kingsley says, with a thin layer of faux nonchalance.
“Hi Kingsley,” you say, “It’s, uh, it’s really good to see you.”
“Good to see you too.”
“Listen, I've got something I want to tell you.”
“This isn’t about-”
“Please just, just wait. I’ve needed to say this for a long time and I don’t want it to get confused or misconstrued. I-” you take a breath as the tiefling in front of you falls quiet- “I love you Kingsley. And I know how that sounds. I know that a lot of the time you feel like you have this pressure on you to be like Molly and you don’t. I know you’ve read Beau’s journals, I know you know what Molly and I were. It’s taken me a while to figure this out but I didn’t want to talk to you about it until I was sure, but I love you. You as yourself, not you as an echo of Molly.”
You take a moment to breathe and gather your thoughts and continue, “You are your own brand of chaos and fit right into our weird little family and even if you don’t feel the same way, I just- I thought you should know.”
Kingsley is stunned for a moment before he takes a tentative step towards you.
“Love,” he says, the word coming out almost like a question, like he’s testing the word in his mouth, “Can I kiss you?”
And who are you to say no to The Plank King. 
A few feet away, happily working with the plants that surround his family home, Caduceus smiles, with plans to pull the both of you into yard work with him as soon as you’ve had some time to yourselves.

How about the CR guys when they see the SO under mind control?
S/O Under a Mind Control
FANDOM: Critical Role
Character(s): Caduceus Clay, Caleb Widogast, Fjord, Grog Strongjaw, Scanlan Shorthalt, Vax’ildan
Type of Request: Headcanons
Word Count: 972
Note(s): Ooh sure thing!! I’m going to do the current player characters since I only write up to 6 per ask (I might do a separate ask for Molly and Percy later but we’ll see where motivation takes me)
Cad’s is platonic!!
Tumblr media
Grog
This poor man is so confused when you suddenly turn on the group. Like he’s just heartbroken.
“S/O?” He just doesn’t understand what’s going on. Yes, he’s seen times when the rest of his group would be under spells and stuff but most of the time that had to be explained to him after the battle.
The issue is Grog really doesn’t want to hurt you. You’re using spells so if he even hits you with the blunt end of his axe then it would hurt you a lot.
“Pike, save them!” Grog would yell out because he doesn’t know how he can help you without hurting you.
If anything, he’d do his best to restrain you until someone is able to break you free of what’s going on, but you’re wiggling and moving so much to still try and fight him and why don’t you just stop?
He is so relieved when you are fixed and he’ll try and act cocky about him not being afraid at all but will hug you really tightly when the others are away.
Scanlan
“I know I’m a prick, but this is taking it too far!” Scanlan would jokingly yell when you start throwing fireballs at the group. 
He knows that you aren’t doing this willingly. He’s used his own mind control on enemies in the past to know what’s going on.
Scanlan tries to keep up the noncaring, suave façade during the fight. He tries different spells to see if they’d snap you out of it.
He’s absolutely livid and so worried on the inside though. You’re going to get a hell of a scolding after this battle!
While he is doing his best to fight against you, he does throw you some healing from time to time because he doesn’t want you to just die.
He lets out a huge sigh of relief afterwards as he’ll walk over to you and be a dramatic bitch about how he was “your savior” and you left some scars and should make it up. He is so full of concern though, don’t let his persona fool you.
Vax
He is absolutely livid when you get mind controlled. How dare they do that to you?!
Honestly with Vax’s 32 attacks and sneak attack damage, he probably is able to take you out pretty quickly.
Definitely going to move you someplace safe so you aren’t in further danger in the battle.
He’s yelling for Pike or someone to heal you. Just yelling “No rush or anything!” But there is a rush, save his S/O or he’ll be more emo than he already is.
He’s going to stay by your side the whole time, just darting out, throwing his daggers, before hiding back with you.
He’s holding you close when you’re healed, not letting you out of his sight. He doesn’t care how much teasing he gets from the others, he’s not going to let you go until he knows for sure that you’re okay.

Caduceus
Caduceus is going to be upset.
He’s not upset at you, but the fact that an enemy is mind controlling you to do their bidding doesn’t sit well with him.
He’ll do his best to use any spells he might have prepped to help get you out of this, dodging your attacks to the best of his abilities.
Might see if Yasha is able to restrain you to make it easier. Caduceus is also really perceptive so maybe taking out the person that cast the spell would be good.
Whichever way, Cad is going to make sure you’re okay and be ready to help out if he’s able.
Definitely healing you to the best of his abilities after the battle. He’ll just give you a smile and make you some tea as well to help soothe you.
Caleb
Caleb is shaking.
Seeing you being taken control of, seeing someone making you do something that you can’t shake off. It’s bringing back a lot of painful memories for him.
Caleb doesn’t have the magic ready to see if he can snap you out of it. He does have the magic to knock you out but he doesn’t want to resort to that if no one can heal you in time.
Instead he’s definitely focusing on taking out your attacker. The one that mind controlled you. He was not going to let them get away with this.
Caleb will endure as much pain from your attacks as he’s able. He is not going to go down until you are safe.
He’s muttering a lot of words and phrases in Xemnian when you’re back. He’s holding your hand, not allowing him to be too selfish with his touches.
Fjord
Definitely cusses when he sees you turning on the group. He knows that this isn’t you doing this willingly, but it definitely makes the fight a lot harder.
Has so much guilt because he knows your abilities, he knows that you’re strong and the fact that there’s already one enemy able to mind control, you’re going to have to be stopped so it’s not one more target.
Fjord is yelling apologies as he’s attacking you. Of course, you’re getting in a good few hits too so at least he is able to keep his guilt under control because of that.
Definitely yells to Caduceus to take care of you when you’re knocked out. Fjord absolutely wants to run to your side, but he has to be the leader and focus on the actual enemies. He trusts the others to keep you safe.
Channels a lot of his anger from what happened to you towards the mind controller. Definitely states that he’s doing that for you.
He’s pulling you close once you’re safe. He’s apologizing to you and giving you a kiss on your forehead, telling you that you’re safe and okay now.

Day 9. Midnight feast 🎃
-> GN!Reader ft. The Mighty Nein
Snack time, boys
~ Poet
"It's got a funky aftertaste," the monk declares with her mouth full, crumbs of the fingerfood she's demolishing stuck to the corners of her mouth, "I can't tell if I fuck with it or not."
Caduceus and Caleb barely manage to hide their amusement while Essek visibly bristles to your left, and with narrowed eyes the elf counters with: "I believe the word you are looking for is 'umami,' Beauregard."
"Whatever it is, it's simply perfection," Jester sings, leaning into your arm and reaching over to quickly swipe one of the savoury mini pastries off of your plate. Fjord manages to swat at her before she even looks at his own assorted bits and pieces, and it's the fact he's distracted by Jester that Yasha and the purple tiefling by her side are able to steal some of the warlock's roasted cashews and dried fruits.
You bring one of the edible flowers - almost too pretty to be eaten - from the sponge cake slice to your mouth and let it sit on your tongue before chewing. It's surprisingly sweet, drawing a pleasant warmth from the back of your throat as you swallow, and it is indeed perfection.
Despite having access to a fine dining room, everyone around you sits contentedly on the floor of the kitchen or perched on countertops and stools, nibbling foraged leftovers and tasting treats found at the backs of cupboards.
"May I tempt you with a cracker, ser?"
You turn to your favourite halfling rogue casually holding out a platter to you, littered with broken half-moon saltines - they probably had been battered in the box they'd come in.
"You certainly may," you say, and gratefully take two broken halves.

Poet's Note:
I specifically didn't mention the purple tiefling's name on purpose - you can think of him as the canon Kingsley, or an alternative happy ending for Mollymauk 💜
