Hey Poet ♥️ I had to put my bird and companion of 12 years to sleep earlier today... I was hoping it would be okay to request Molly, Kingsley, Ashton and Caduceus comforting a Ranger SO (friend in Cad’s case) who had their beast companion pass away? I hope it’s not too grim of a prompt, thanks a lot either way! And thank you for what you do, your lovely writing brings joy to many people :)

Oh darling I'm so sorry. We also recently had a family pet put to sleep and it is very hard, but know that you provided your lil friend a wonderful life and that's something to make it easier as time passes 🩶

Comforting Ranger!GN!Reader

Ashton 💚

Is the shoulder to cry on that you've always needed. They're a strong presence, someone reliable to lean on, something physical and real to keep you grounded and help you not lose yourself in feelings.

They say they have difficulty with words, but Ashton surprises even himself with the soft tone and even softer things he offers you. Little phrases of encouragement, of how things will get better, and how you're not going to carry this alone. You have him and friends who care about you - he ignores the hot feeling in his face when your teary eyes meet his upon the confession - and pulls you into their side with a soft "I got you."

Caduceus 💜

Arguably the best person on the list to console you after losing someone you held dear. If it's something you'd like, he'll organise a little ceremony - allow memories of the good and fun moments shared with your companion to take centre stage. It's a happy occasion, with friends in attendance, a celebration of their life, their love, and how they made a home in your heart.

Cad takes time out of his day to sit with you, share tea and treats and the quiet tranquility of his porch, content to give you silent support but even more eager to offer counsel if that's what you seek. He understands how you're feeling, and guides you through them with careful, attentive ease.

Molly 💜

He knows what it's like to mourn a life, be that of a friend's or the past that he will never truly know. He makes sure that as you're processing this change in your life, that you continue to look after yourself. He ensures that you eat, even if you don't feel hungry. He washes your hair and cleans your face, helps you change into fresh clothes, coaxes you outdoors to feel warm sunlight on your skin. He wants to remind you to keep living, to enjoy it just as your pet beast did.

Life moves on. It always will. Your animal came into your life unexpectedly, just as you came into Molly's life. He's there for you, to get you through the day, the week, the month, and beyond. It happens gradually, as all wounds heal, but eventually he sees you smile at him more and he knows it hurts a little less. He smiles back, all teeth and pride for you.

Kingsley 💜

He's still discovering the big emotions that come with experiencing life. Grief is one of them. He fumbles in the beginning, and is scared to say anything in the fear of hurting you further, but he feels more confident after you melt into his arms and let him hold you for who knows how long. He realises later that a distraction can help further along healing.

So that's what Kingsley does. He spends more time with you, takes you sailing and has you steer the ship (with his professional supervision of course). He drags you into dances along the desk and sings you songs before bed. He holds your hand as you fall asleep, and tells you how grateful he is that you're there with him. Thanks you for giving him that - just as you have your familiar that.

idk if you've answered something like this before, but what are the might nein's hugs like?? for platonic or romantic partners or both???

How They Hug (Platonic)

Fandom: Critical Role, Campaign 2

Characters: Beauregard Lionett, Caduceus Clay, Caleb Widogast, Fjord, Jester Lavorre, Veth Brenatto, Yasha Nydoorin

Type of Request: Headcanons

Notes: I double checked the masterlist and it looks like you’re good!! Also going to do this Platonically so I can include Caduceus~

The Mighty Nein

Beau tries to seem tough and too cool for hugs. Absolutely gives you the bro hug of a high five and pulling you in for a chest bump or something.

Caduceus gives big bear hugs. He gets that hugs make people feel better so he'll give you a nice big hug, dopey smile on his face with his signature, "This is nice".

Caleb is so awkward. He's not an affectionate type of person. Just so stiff and tense as you hug him and he pats your shoulder with a pained expression on his face.

Fjord also tries to act cool with giving you a hug but he's awkward too. The hug would last like 2 seconds because he's also stiff and trying to come up for an excuse to end it.

Jester full on tackles you with hugs. If you two fall to the ground then great. She's happily giggling and still hugging you tight. Might hurt a tad cause she's so strong, but she makes sure that you're being hugged with her full potential.

Veth accuses you of trying to reach into her pockets under the guise of hugging. Quickly says it's a joke and gives you a hug. It's honestly really comforting and she gives you a little squeeze of reassurance too.

Yasha is another awkward one. Honestly might just keep her hands to her sides as you hug her. She's very strong and doesn't want to accidentally hurt you with hugging. Does give you a headpat afterwards to make up for her lack of hugging.

An under the mistletoe CR ask. How would the reader react to being kissed under the mistletoe by :and what would their first holiday be together like?

Percy

Scanlan

Vax

Dorian

Dariax

Orym and Will

Fjord

Caleb

Mollymauk

Caduceus

Kingsley

Awwww!! I love the kiss asks

A/N - I’d like to imagine the folklore behind mistletoe is kinda the same for in-canon universe. Or if it isn’t, then this is a modern!reader who would explain the “kiss of life” meaning behind it.

Percy - it’s a sweet but also passionate kiss; you spend the holidays with him and it’s one you’ll never forget! An elaborate party that lasts for days at Whitestone

Dariax - a sweet kiss that has you both giggling; the holidays are one to never forget with him, maybe a destination get away for you both

Scanlan - shamelessly flirty with a cheeky grin and everything! Spend the holidays with him and you’re guaranteed a personal concert and expensive gift

Vax’ildan - kisses full of longing and yearning; a holiday spent with him is one visiting with friends and family before you get time together under the moonlight

Fjord - most likely these holidays will be spent on the sea, but if you ever dock at one of the many ports, it’s an excursion type of holiday with sweet kisses hiding you close under mistletoe

Caleb - starts off as a slow kiss before becoming more heated and desperate, holding to you like a tether; most likely this holiday will be spent together in the Tower or visiting friends

Mollymauk/Kingsley - that tail cheekily wraps around your waist/legs, purring into a kiss. Holidays are most likely spent on the seas with Fjord and Jester, or visiting Yasha and Beau

Cadeuces - may not totally understand the gesture of “mistletoe”, but please do indulge him with the tale of it when you visit his home

Dorian - the kiss is like something out of a storybook for him. Completely sweet and tender, cupping your face. Holidays are spent with the Bells/Crown Keepers, or back home after helping Cyrus

Orym & Will - tender and domestic, feels just like home; holidays are spent together in your cozy abode, taking some early time off from the Blades

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

“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.

Do you do scenarios or headcanons? If so, how many characters can we request for scenarios or headcanons? Would you do the same prompt with different characters? Are there any characters you won't do in each fandom? Can we request characters from different fandoms in a request? Are there any topics you won't do like rape, suicide, etc? Do you do poly ships x reader? Thank you in advance!

these are good guidelines that i never would have thought to bring up if you hadn’t, so thank you anon!

1. i do both! actually if you scroll to the very first reader-inserts i wrote on this account, they’re all hcs. i will also do one-shots.

2. as many as you’d like! i don’t believe i had set a limit the first time around. obviously once it gets up to 10-ish characters, then i’ll either refuse or it will take much, much longer… but anything in the single digits gets 2 thumbs-up from me.

3. i will also absolutely do more than 1 character for the same prompt. it gets my wc up after all ;-)

4. my only hard no’s would be romantic one-shots with any anthro characters (ex. pokémon, morgana/teddie from the persona series… well teddie is more bc i cannot stand him in general, but i digress) or those who are very much underage or identify canonically as on the ace/aro spectrum (ex. nanako from p4, caduceus clay from cr). for those, though, i’ll happily do platonic prompts!

5. yes to different fandoms!

6. actually, those are definitely 2 that i will not do. s-h is a little murky. i can do requests related to the aftermath, but not to the actual act itself. but no to dub/non-con, SA, graphic violence, yandere, su*cide… if there’s anything else, i’ll let you know!

7. dude poly-ships are a hell yes. request away!

summary: beau says some shitty things to caduceus, and he comes to you. no matter what he thinks, you love him and you make sure he knows that he's not broken. (part 2/13 of the kindness series, a thematically connected series of c2/exu imagines)

word count: 1.6k

warnings: unintentional acephobia / arophobia (beau says some shitty things, but from a place of ignorance)

note: i am def not to the c2 episodes where cad is introduced but i love him already, so i'm not sure whether or not my characterization is on point or not, but in this house we love and respect aro/ace caduceus!!!!!

masterlist - request - support my work? - ao3

You know his feelings, and he knows yours. That’s why you and Caduceus get along so well, despite life on the road. There’s always some sort of friction in the group, even though it’s quickly smoothed over and forgotten. Things like that, though, never happen between you and Caduceus - which is something the rest like to point out with thinly-veiled jealousy when they’re in a tuff with another of the group.

Just thinking about your frictionless relationship with Cad makes you smile. You know that he doesn’t really get the way other people fall in love, or lust depending on who it is, and sometimes that makes you sad. But not sad in a way that you’d want him to change - Gods no. You love him for the way he is, and you know he loves you for the way you are. It doesn’t stop you from thinking about another life, another place, though.

That’s mostly irrelevant. You’ll be the first to admit, when you first found Cad and he joined your merry band of adventurers, you’d harbored a rather large crush on him. That, originally, started your kindness campaign toward him. Selfish, yes, but you don’t regret it. It has made you the closest friend you’re sure you’ll have in your entire life. He’d kept mostly to himself before you reached out to him, being nicer and nicer until… Well, until he started to return the favors.

That’s what makes you two work so well together. Everyone else is resistant, honestly, to the way you want to be nice to them. You know they have their reasons, so you don’t push. Eventually they are kind to you and, though you don’t do it just so that others will be nice to you, it’s a warming feeling to know that you have some impact on the people you travel with.

Caduceus is the one that goes out of his way the most for you, though. He’s the one that will prepare your meal in the way that you prefer, but Caleb hates, and adjusts Caleb’s accordingly. He’s the one that will listen to you and Jester fawn over Oskar, even though he’s not interested in the romantic or sexual aspects of Tusk Love. He’s the one that will hear you having a nightmare and wrap his large, warm body around yours to comfort you in the middle of the night. He is your best friend, and you’re his. (After the Wildmother, of course. You’d never get between them. It’s so clear how fond he is of her, and how fond she is of him.)

But all of these things, the history the two of you share and how close you are compared to the rest of the Mighty Nein, are the reason Caduceus comes to you late at night, tears wetting the fur on his face. It’s late, and you were asleep, but your door is open to anyone in the Might Nein. Cad knows this, which is why you’re surprised that he is knocking.

“Caddy,” You reach for his hand and guide him into your room, “What’s wrong?” He doesn’t say anything, opting instead to drape himself over you in a warm, strong hug. You feel his breathing stutter and then pick back up, a telltale sign he’s been crying for some time. Your stomach drops like a stone, “Hey, let’s sit down on the bed, okay? And then we can talk if you want or we can just sit.” He lets you lead him to the bed, but as soon as he’s at, he curls up with his back towards you and shields himself as much as possible with his arms. It’s like he’s afraid of you, sobs returning to jostle his body on your bed.

You let him have his space, stepping back but reminding him that you’re here - for him, in the room, for the long haul. You can’t let Caduceus think he’s alone in whatever he’s going through, because he’s not. He’s not alone, never, not with you around. Your heart breaks as he whimpers and rolls over, reaching a hand out for you. There’s no hesitation in your mind when you crawl into bed and let Cad fold himself around you, holding you so tightly that you’re afraid that he’ll break. “Caddy, I need you to calm down,” You wrap your arms around his middle, scratching lightly at the fur on his back to try and comfort him.

“Am I broken?”

“What?”

“Am I broken?” And then he says your name, pleading and so filled with sorrow, that it chokes you up for a second. “I think I might be broken.”

“Caduceus Clay, you are not broken,” You whisper, voice shaking as you pull him impossibly closer, eyes cresting with tears as you look, unseeing, at the wall over his shoulder. He’s buried his face in the crook where your neck meets your jaw. “I don’t know why you would think that, but I know you are not.”

He sniffles. “Beau said…” But he cuts himself off, jaw snapping shut with an audible sound as he squeezes his arms around your waist. You can feel his hands shaking as they clench in your sleep clothes.

“Beau says a lot of shit,” You turn your head to nuzzle your nose against the back of his large ear, hoping to bring some sort of comfort to him. Whatever she said to him has gotten him more worked up than anything you’ve ever seen, “She says a lot of shit and sometimes she doesn’t mean it, and sometimes she doesn’t really get what she’s saying. She’s an empire kid, Caddy, they’re sheltered and unsure and kind of… Well, they’re assholes. Beau is not immune to Empire Kid Asshole Syndrome, just like Caleb isn’t.” He shudders, a fresh round of tears wetting your neck and the fur on his face. “Cad… Caddy, come on, what did she say?”

“We were in Jester’s room,” He begins, voice calm but small, “And she was talking about Tusk Love again. Nott asked a question - about, I don’t know, I think our first time, but I don’t… I’ve never…” You press a kiss against his fur when he begins to work himself up again. He sucks in a shaking breath, “And I told them, and the Beau asked why and… There’s not a reason, I don’t suppose.”

“There doesn’t have to be a reason,” You whisper, “But if you want a reason, the reason is that this is how you’ve chosen to live.”

Caduceus continues like he doesn’t hear you, “She said that there’s no point to having friends, to being so close to you, if nothing will come from it. She said that life is about love and sex and finding someone to share it all with. She said that I was leading you on. That you’re in love with me.”

You whine low in your throat and push on Cad’s shoulders so he’s looking at you. You want him to not only listen to what you’re about to say, but hear it. He looks so sad, ears pulled back and eyes glassy. “I am not in love with you, Caduceus Clay. I love you. There is a difference. Once, yes, I thought that I might have been able to fall in love with you, but I know how you feel. What you feel is real, do you understand?” You pause for him to respond, but he just looks at you. “You do not need love and sex to live life, okay? And love - you have so much of it. I love you. The Mighty Nein loves you. The Wildmother loves you. You have so much love in your life, and if that is enough for you then that’s enough for you. Nobody has any say in what you want from life except you.”

“Am I hurting you? By not being able to fall in love with you?”

“No,” You say firmly, “Your worth is not measured by your ability or desire to fall in love.” Cad shifts on the bed, and you pull him closer, settling your forehead against his, “I’ll talk to Beau in the morning, okay? She will apologize to you - either this is a misunderstanding, or she was being intentionally malicious, but there will be an apology.”

His eyes slip closed, and the sigh that follows shakes as it leaves his body. Some of the tension melts away and you let one of your hands move up his body - making sure he knows you’re aiming for his face - until your thumb can rub soft circles in his cheek. “Do you believe me?” You ask, voice soft as he begins to come down.

“What?”

“Do you believe that you’re not broken? That you just are who you are? That it’s okay?” You press your nose against his for a brief second. Just a moment of comforting intimacy, but you don’t press it. “Do you believe what I said?”

“I’m not sure,” He stutters a little bit, frown tugging slightly at his lips, “I think that I could come to believe it because you wouldn’t lie to me.”

“Never,” You promise in a strong voice, despite whispering to him, “I would never lie to you. I’m not lying to you.” You shift a little, twisting your legs with his long and lithe ones, “Let’s get some rest tonight, and I’ll set Beau straight in the morning, okay?” You know he’s already tipping off toward sleep, his body warming and becoming pliant in your arms. Caduceus only hums and nods, one of his ears twitching as your breath hits it when you chuckle. Tomorrow, you’ll bring your wrath down upon Beau - lightly, because you’re almost positive she didn’t mean what she said and probably phrased it horribly wrong. Tomorrow, you’ll set it straight with the rest of the Mighty Nein, too - that not wanting romantic love, or sexual things, does not make someone broken. You’ll educate them and, if you get any pushback, you’ll make sure they know that if Cad walks, you walk.

You’re sure he feels the same way.

M9 x Reader - Real Life AU Headcanon

just got some ideas what the M9 is like in real life, and since i cant draw shit imma rely on words lol hope u enjoy!!

Caleb Widogast

He is a semi-famous detective fiction writer, works at home and rarely goes out. You have to drag him out of his study and force him to do grocery shopping with you, so he can take a break from his desk. He loves having you around, he would grab his laptop and cuddle with you on the sofa while you’re watching Netflix.

Usually has his curly copper red hair that runs past his shoulder tied up into a messy bun- sometimes with a pencil. He washes his hair every other day, and just leaves it dry naturally so he can do more work. Sometimes you make him sit and blow dry his hair, then comb through it gently. He’d mumble about how he doesn’t need it, that his hair would dry eventually. But he’s actually very happy about you taking care of him.

He goes to bed later than you do, sometimes he doesn’t sleep all night. He makes breakfast every morning and would sit with you, making sure you had your breakfast before you head out. Then he would go take a nap, or do some cleaning around the house, before he returns to his writing.

Has the world’s most comfortable cardigan collection, and they are all slightly oversized for him for being washed so many times. You steal his cardigan all the time. When he needs to leave town for a business trip, he’d come home finding you asleep on the sofa in his cardigan. He’d stand there staring at you for a few minutes, taking in the scene with a smile on his face, then he’d wake you and walk you back to bed.

Actually a very good driver, and genuinely likes driving you to places. Sometimes when he drives he hums, sometimes is just some random tune he made up, sometimes is something you know and you would sing it out loud. He would join the car karaoke eventually.

When he’s drunk--- which is rare, he doesn’t really drinks--- he’d grab you and waltz in the living room. You’d be tipsy and giggly while he holds on to you turning in circles and hums.

You have to trim his hair when it gets too long, for he refuses to “spend money on unnecessary things”. When it gets too long you’d braid it and take pictures to set as your lock screen.

Sometimes when a discussion gone too intense, he’d walk away from you and back to his study. It frustrates you at first. After a while you learned that he walks away to stop himself from saying anything that might hurt you. After he cooled down he’d come back to you with a cup of hot cocoa or a hug, and mumble apologies. Then you’d sit down and talk.

Mollymauk Tealeaf

He’s a stage manager for a rock band, travels all the time. Sometimes he brings you with him if you can work out your schedule. If you couldn’t make it, he’d call you everyday when he’s not there with you.

LOTS of piercing. He has all sorts of dangling bits on his ears. An eyebrow piercing, and a nose stud. He used to have his lip and tongue pierced as well, after learning that you’re a bit weirded out when you make out, he took them off.

Has very pale skin and very dark hair. All the colorful tattoos that covered the half of his body stand out vividly on his pale skin. No piercing on his body as he claims “They caught on things.”

Has scars of self-harm all over his upper torso. You cried when you learned about this, which made him panicked. He wrapped a blanket around you with you in his arms, and he talked quietly about his teenage years. He reassured you that he’s better now and he hasn’t hurt himself in years, and promised you he would never do it again.

Lot’s of accessories. Bracelets, necklaces, rings... and he switches them out to match his outfit.

When he’s at work, he wears simple white T-shit, ripped black jeans and high combat boots. Other times he’s a walking fashion show, rocking all sorts of outfit across the gender spectrum. You used to feel underdressed and insecure walking next to him, he made sure you understand you are perfect just the way you are. When you asked him to help you shop and update your wardrobe, he was more than happy to do so. Now when you two go out, he makes sure he matches what you’re wearing, either the color palette or the fabric, even it's just the accessories.

He used to smoke, but not often. It's more of a means of socializing in his line of work. After you tell him that you are worried about his health, and wish him to quit, he chews bubble gums instead. Now he only smokes when he’s overwhelmed with anxiety and when you’re not around to comfort him.

Shares skincare and makeup products with you, not like he needs the makeups, he has perfect skin and it makes you jealous. Sometimes you would help him do his eyeliner because he keeps poking himself in the eye--- you suspected that he was faking it so you can get close to him, but you enjoy doing his makeup anyway.

Has pamper night with you. Make homemade facemasks from his special recipe, and do each other’s nails. He’s very friendly with the band’s makeup team, he’d share all sorts of beauty tips with you.

A little bit too skinny. You worried if he’s eating properly when he’s away. After a while you realized that he has normal portion of meal- if not more- he just doesn’t gain weight.

You don’t really fight, but when you do he’s always the first to apologize and would do anything he can to put a smile back on your face. He would talk to you after you calmed down.

Caduceus Clay

A Lifestyle coach. The most healthy person you know. Doesn’t force you into a healthier lifestyle, but you get motivated/ashamed into being healthier anyway.

Has a little greenhouse with all sorts of vegetation. He’s a morning person, every morning you’d find him watering and talking to his plants in his little sanctuary. He has a little tray of food and water for the birds at the window of his greenhouse, once you saw squirrels came to visit.

Makes great food. Mostly vegetarian, but if you crave meat he would make it for you. Sometimes you cook together, although it’s mostly he doing the work and you distracting him.

You help dye his roots pink. His natural hair is brown, so it takes some time for the color to stick. You usually catch up with each other’s life during this time.

Actually had wild teenage years, nothing can really surprise him. He would pop the most random experience during dinner, makes you wonder if he’s lying or did he really lived a thousand lifetimes.

Dresses in a boho style. Even the interior design of the house speaks boho. He does own some formal wears for your date nights, but you felt that he could try some different things. You tried to persuade him into changing his wardrobe, but somehow he's able to find some more formal boho wears, so you gave up. He looks good anyway.

He makes tea for you when you’re working, and gives you a good massage on your neck and shoulders when he senses the tension. Sometimes he even gives you a scalp massage.

Knows reiki healing. When you’re too stressed out and couldn’t sleep, he’d do some reiki healing on you. It’s greatly relaxing while his calming voice eases you from the anxiety, and you often fall asleep before the session is completed.

He’s a tall guy. It intimidated you when you first met. After spending some time together you realized he’s the most gentle man you’ve ever met. You never fight, whenever there’s a conflict he tries to solve it calmly and with reason.

He likes knitting/crocheting. He makes decorations and blankets for the house, and comfy sweater for you.

You wear his shirts to sleep, as they are huge for you. He adores it cuz you seem smaller than you do when you’re in his shirt.

Loves the nature, would take you to national parks and beaches for a walk. Plans a camping trip every year, either it’d be nights in a tent with cozy campfires in the forest or a little wooden cabin near the lake.

Yasha Nydoorin

She’s the bassist of the band Molly works for, the two of them are close.

She doesn’t bring you along when she needs to travel for work, as she prefers staying focus. However as soon as the show is over, she catches the next plane and goes straight back home to you no matter how late it is.

Mostly dress in black and white. Once when you went shopping together, you caught her staring at a flowery summer dress, so you bought it for her birthday, which made her very happy. But she only wears it for your date night. Sometimes she wear the clothes you bought for her- none black and white- on stage, Molly would teases her but she doesn’t mind.

Not very good at singing. Only because she gets too nervous and couldn’t get her voice out. After you reassuring her she has a beautiful voice and that you would never judge her, she shyly sang you the songs she wrote for you- although still a bit out of tune.

When she’s working on a new song, she’d have her hair tied into a simple ponytail- if you’re not there braiding it and distracting her.

Owns a jet black motorbike, and when she’s not working she’d send you to work and pick you up after.

Doesn’t wear makeups, and doesn’t really know how to, Molly usually is the one she goes to if she needs makeup. When you two moved in together you had to educate her on doing skincare, and had to remind her the importance of sunscreen, for she has very pale skin. Now she comes to you for smoky eyes, and if she’s feeling adventurous, she’d let you do some more colorful looks.

You two don’t really argue, she always agrees to you. Sometimes you wish she has more opinions of her own, and you’d encourage her to do so. Once she had a different idea of where she wanted to go for the weekends- she said it timidly- you were over the moon and it actually gave her more confident.

She feels bad about how she’s always away for work, even though you told her a million times you don’t mind. She often tries to do nice things for you, bringing you trinkets when she comes home, taking pictures on her travels so she can show you afterwards. She tried cooking for you once but she’s terrible at it, and almost burnt the house down.

Had no concept of “pajamas” before meeting you, she used to wear a pair of tight black jeans and nothing on top to bed. Now her travelling bag is packed with different color of pastel PJs that are made with the softest materials. She felt awkward putting them on at first- even though no one would see her- after realizing these are washed with the same detergent you’re using, she loves them.

Beauregard Lionett

She’s a personal trainer working in your gym. And she was actually the one who came up to you first. It was so awkward that you actually laughed, making her flustered and wanted to ran away. You apologized and accepted her date invitation eventually.

She‘s also an amateur boxer, and has won several contests. She doesn’t really care about the trophies, she left them in the corner of a cupboard gaining dust. After you moved in together, you found every one of the medal and trophy she owns, polished them and put them on the shelf for display.

Before you met, all she wore was comfy-training outfit. Now she has various style to choose from, for you buying her clothes all the time, claiming anything would look nice on her with her perfectly fit body.

She usually wakes up early, do her morning exercises, shower, then bring coffee to your room to wake you up. Then the two of you would cuddle and discuss the plan for the day.

Teaches you self-defense skills and makes sure you can counteract anytime anywhere. Meaning she’d tackle you anytime anywhere.

When you first got together, she’d say hurtful things during a fight. She would then beat herself up and do some extreme training till she couldn’t move anymore. She’s better at communication now after having several “social training” sessions with her friend, Fjord, and she would slowly count to ten while focusing on her breath when she feels like she would say something to hurt you.

Very socially awkward. She relies on you in most social situations, but you give her small tips and let her practice when you got the chance. It’s sort of a pay back for tackling you in public but you’d never admit it.

A terrible driver, both skill-wise and manner-wise. You banned her to drive your car after she crashed it the second time. Now she drives more carefully, but still has bad temper when she does.

She secretly planned to get you a pet for your birthday, but couldn’t decide on if she should get you a puppy or a kitten. So she got you both.

Has drink night with her friends every other week, sometimes she brings you with her. But when you’re not there, all she talks about is you.

Jester Lavorre

She works as an independent fashion designer. All her inspirations are coming from you, and she wouldn’t let you wear anything that’s not from her. She’d go without sleep to make you new clothes if she has to.

You have to look after her diet, for she only has pastries for her meals. On the weekends you would force her out of bed in the morning and make her jog with you around the block. She always wines at first, and is always the last to want to go home.

Has puffy bob hair in the color of hazel, and light freckles on her face. It takes her hours to take care of her hair, and sometimes she screams in frustration in the bathroom. You’d come in to help while trying to calm her. Eventually you’d give her a cute side braid with a flower pin, and she’d thank you with a kiss on the cheek.

She has an obsession of unicorns. Her collection is insane. At one point you had to rent a storage place for all the plushies. After a serious talk you now have a displaying cupboard dedicating to her unicorn collections, and only two are allowed to be out.

She has a very close relationship with her mother, and you two would go over to her house almost every week to have dinner. Marion absolutely adores you, and sees you as her second child.

When you first met, she often spoke about her uncle Artagan. The more you learned about this “uncle” the less you trust him. You found out that he wasn’t actually related to her when you first met him, which made you grew hostile towards him. After a while you realized that he actually cares about Jester very much, and now you two are on better terms.

She is very confident about herself, always has bold makeup and dresses in bright colors. She also gives you a lot of compliments, making you feel good about yourself as well.

Being the daughter of a famous actress, she usually can get free premiere tickets to huge movies, and you two would have a special date night.

You adore her pranks. They are usually harmless and funny. Sometimes you join her in her plan, and sometimes you would have to pull her back once you sense that it might go too far.

You sometimes fight, but it’s never anything serious, and it always ends up with giggles and jokes.

Fjord

Former professional swimmer, now a swimming coach, specifically coaching national team. You joked about him might actually be a fish, for he has to go swim everyday or he’d lose his mind.

You ususally play video games with him, and you are actually better than him. Sometimes he gets frustrated for losing, and it hurts his pride a little. When you noticed he’s getting frustrated you’d subtly lose to him on purpose. He appreciates that a lot.

Mostly wears soft and comfortable clothes, meaning T-shirts and sweat pants. You tried to style him a couple of times, but he’s a stubborn little brat, so you gave up eventually. He’s in such good shape that even plain white T looks like a fashion item on him.

Owns a sports bike. He often takes you on a road trip, driving you to the beach. You would had dinner while enjoying the beautiful sunset before heading home with the night scene of the city aside.

Being a bulky dude as he is, he’s actually a timid guy. You make him watch horror movies with you, with all the lights out. He’d claim that he’s not afraid, while sitting as close to you as he can. You are often distracted from the movie, and focus more on his reaction. And of course, you are the one who has to take care of the bugs in the bathroom.

You help giving advice and social tips to his friend, Beauregard, when she comes over for dinner, complaining about how she couldn’t keep her clients. She likes you a lot and would tease Fjord about how he doesn’t deserve you.

Is actually a helpless romantic. Romcom makes him cry every time. He’d buy you flowers when he’s back from work.

Veth Brenatto - Platinum

Owns a tailor shop, although she doesn’t know how to sew. She likes pretty buttons and has a great collection. Sometimes you wonder if she opened the shop just so she can have all the buttons.

She’s the “mom friend” everyone has. Always takes good care of you. When you come over for dinner, she makes sure you have more than enough, and would let you take the leftover home.

She’s a petite woman, but she’s fierce, she’d stab anyone who dare to hurt you.

You often go babysit Luk, her son, when Mr and Mrs Brenatto are having a date night. You’d play board games together in the afernoon, have whatever Veth left in the fridge for dinner and watch cartoons on TV. Usually the couple would come home, finding both of you asleep at the couch.

You’re Luk’s best friend. He likes you so much that he claimed more than once that he wants to marry you when he grew up.

Tries to set you up with her customers, or Yeza’s co-workers at the medicine company.

When she learned about you finally started dating someone, she invited you and your partner to dinner, and hit them with all sorts of questions, all had a slight hostile undertone. Yeza had to ease the tension with awkward jokes, and grew more and more nervous as he’s both ashamed and terrified with his wife. While you’re trying to hold in a laugh at how Veth put on her terrifying face so she can make sure you’re ok. At the end of the night, Veth basically threatened that she will kill your partner if they ever hurt you by a hair. You were glad that your partner didn’t mind the way Veth treated them. After the first dinner, and a few months of dating, she would treat your partner as family.

Day 26. Holy shrine 🎃

-> Caduceus Clay x GN!Reader

Taking care of the caretakers

~ Poet

"I forgot to mention," Caduceus hums from the comfort of his armchair while you toe your boots off at the door to his ancestral home, "the family whose uncle died recently had a request for the funeral - they want a passage read from your favourite book."

"Mine?" you ask, puzzled, and gratefully take the offered cup of tea.

"Yes, yours," he confirms with his signature easy smile. "You now tend to the graves and sanctuary alongside myself and my family, so your favourite book would help... bind him to this place."

It's quite an honour. You don't know the family well, and you don't bear the Clay last name either, but you're a good friend of Caduceus and they must appreciate that fact enough to let you have such a personal role in the burial.

"It's only something small from Chastity's Nook, nothing special," you say apologetically. "And my copy of the novel has seen better days,"

He frowns at your tone, sets his cup down and speaks to you with a kind, if a little firm, expression: "What are books for if not to be loved until they are worn and weary, like us mortals?"

You mull over his words during tea, when Calliope joins for dinner that evening and you help her with the dishes, on your evening stroll with Caduceus, and later when you curl up in your humble bedsheets as the sun sets, you decide to be the grounding force for that mourning family.

Hi! I'm a huge fan of your work and I've been sending anon requests for a while, but I had this idea and I thought you'd like it!

What about an M9 and Essek x reader (preferably platonic) where the reader loves to bake and decorate pastries for the group as a way to relax and calm down after trips or a particularly difficult days events?

With a Reader That Bakes for the Group

Fandom: Critical Role

Characters: Beauregard Lionett, Caduceus Clay, Caleb Widogast, Essek Theylss, Fjord, Jester Lavorre, Veth Brenatto, Yasha Nydoorin

Type of Request: Headcanons, Platonic

Notes: Aw thank you so much! This is a very cute idea and I’ll do my best to write it for you!!

Mighy Nein (and Essek)

Beau definitely sneaks bites of raw cookie dough or finger fulls of icing (she washes her hands first). Might complain that you’re trying to ruin her physique with your baking, but she loves it.

Caduceus enjoys making tea to go with your baked goods. He has a lot of knowledge of which types of tea goes best with what kind of sweet you make. Does his best to stay out of your way since it’s difficult to find big kitchens that’ll be available to use.

Caleb isn’t really a sweets person, but if you baked bread then he’ll gladly sample some. Definitely has some bittersweet memories of some treats you make as it reminds him of things his parents would bake, but he still thanks you for doing this.

Essek is also not really a sweets person, but he’ll do his best to help decorate. Art isn’t really his forte, but it is kind of funny how much of a perfectionist he is when it comes to decorating cookies or cake.

Fjord feels so guilty eating your baked goods. They taste so good, but he has enough trouble with Veth teasing about his lack of muscles. Still eats it because he can’t let your talent go to waste.

Jester absolutely loves the fact that you bake! Even if you’re all in the middle of traveling she’d ask if you could make her a very specific type of cupcake. Probably has some kind of recipe book somewhere for you or she’d ask if you could make the most crazy types of sweets for her (and the others, but mostly for her).

Veth would make requests if you could add alcohol to any of your baking. Not too much, but just a tad. She’s heard that cooking with alcohol is a thing, so maybe you could replace some milk with whiskey. There’s hardly a difference in her mind.

Yasha is constantly surprised by what baked good she likes. At first she didn’t really have an opinion on cookies or biscuits or whatnot, but she’s constantly finding a new favorite from your baking.

Day 17 Caduceus Clay x reader. Tea party!

"You're not coming to my tea party? Beauregard I made biscuits!" You whined, letting out a frown of disappointment. Everyone aside from Caduceus had canceled, they all had studying or shopping or would prefer to hang out with someone else. It was upsetting.

You pouted, sitting down you watched Beau walk away, she wanted to hang out with Yasha and Jester for the day. That left you all alone with your crush.. Caduceus Clay, you weren't sure where he was, and you considered cancelling the day all together, but maybe it would be worth it if the firbolg didn't cancel as well.

Your crush on Cad was lighthearted, being with him made you feel happy and over all just full of joy. He was gorgeous too, beautiful long hair, and his voice was so soothing it could put you to sleep instantly. He was so caring a kind when, he always knew what was wrong and how to help. You admired him more than anything.

An hour passed and you prepared your cookies and biscuits, Cad always came to your fun little events and he promised he would bring tea. You hoped he would keep this promise. Walking to the hill you would be eating at, you notice Caduceus was already sitting down, a kettle of tea set on the ground with only two tea cups and saucers to go underneath them. A soft pink blanket underneath him for comfort, you spot his ears twitch, hearing that you had arrived. It was almost scary how quickly he could notice these sorts of things.

"Oh, you're here y/n, I'm glad you could make it. I heard no one else would be coming, and I got a little worried that you wouldn't show up. I'm glad you did." He smiled, pouring you a glass of what seemed to be a fruity tea. "Take a seat, you picked a lovely area to hold this arrangement, so I suggest you enjoy it." He spoke as you sat down in front of him, a smile on both of your faces, his a more calm smile, yours being more smitten.

"Thank you, Caduceus for showing up. I.. I didn't think anyone was gonna show up since everyone else bailed, I mean, even Yasha left, and she loves these sorts of things." You said, taking a sip of your tea you placed down your baked goods. "Mm! This tea is really good! It's very fruity and sweet." A gap escaped your lips, the tea was delicious, some of the best you had ever tasted.

"Thank you, I tried to make it more accustomed to what you would prefer in a drink." Said the cleric, a calm smile on his lips.

Time passed, you two spoke for a while, until you asked a question unprompted. "Hey Cad, can I braid your hair? It looks super pretty and I wanna see what it looks like styled into a braid!" You spoke, hoping for a yes.

"Why of course you can. Come sit closer to me and I'll give you all the time you need, take your time and make sure to make it pretty" he chuckled, patting a spot close to him, you sat down, getting to work on the braid.

The new hair style ended up great, a pink side braid cascading down his torso, you had placed a couple of wild flowers in the crevices, allowing for a little more flavor in the look thag suited him a lot. "You look great! I hope you enjoy it, if it's too tight I can fix that too, and if you don't like it you can take it out if you want." You spoke, getting a little nervous that he wouldn't like it.

"No no, it's beautiful dear, don't worry. The flowers add a nice touch and I can tell you put a lot of work into it, it's very special to me." His kind words made your heart melt and a red coating arised on your cheeks.

"Thanks, Cad. That means a lot to me, you're very kind and understanding about these sorts of things"

One thing led to another, and what was going to be a cute little lunch hang out turned out to be a full out day with Caduceus, the sun was currently setting, you head on the firbolgs lap as he strokes your hair, humming a song. You could feel the vibrations going through his body, which allowed you to join him, being familiar with the song.

The scenery was ethereal, as the day faded to stars you hummed with him, slowly falling asleep in his lap, the soothing feeling of his lulaby and his calmly touch gave you the chance to drift asleep with him. Neither of you cared what would happen in the morning, whether the nein would find you or not, you were just too focused on the beautiful moment.
