Fic Request Information

Since I’m opening up requests on this blog, here are some general things:

I write for all three campaigns of Critical Role and EXU Calamity. I tend to prefer canon pairings in general, but I’m a huge fan of non-romantic fics (so I’m elated to take requests for those as well!

I specifically enjoy writing Fjorester, Perc’ahlia, Vaxleth, Beauyasha, and Veth x Yeza for romances, and as I mentioned, I’m open to any platonic prompts as well!

I am primarily a hurt/comfort and angst writer, who is also willing to delve into whump. However, I’m open to fluffier prompts as well!

Feel free to specify any of my aus if you’d like your drabble set in one of them!

My ao3 is ThatHCWriter, and I will likely be cross-posting the drabbles on there, just so you know!

Link to Masterlist

Rewatching C2 and can I just say how much I love Jester’s Hellish Rebuke?

It reminds me of Miette for some reason with the way she plays it as just a miffed/upset reaction to being hurt like.

You damage Jester? You bite her like the jawbreaker??? Freezing. Freezing for five thousand years.

GIVE IT UP FOR YEAR THREE!

We've definitely been spoiled this past year: TLOVM season 3 gave us more Perc'ahlia than we could dream of and Campaign 3 saw Taliesin and Laura reprise their roles as Exandria's It Couple for several episodes. What better way to celebrate these characters than with another Perc'ahlia Week! Fanart, fanfics, cosplay shoots, crafts, podfics - however you want to engage with this ship, we're right here with you <3

You might notice we've shifted the dates a touch - this is to account for TLOVM s3 episode 3 'Vexations' airing on October 3rd 2024. Now campaign and show fans can both enjoy the anniversaries of this ship setting sail! 💘

Feedback from our fandom has resulted in another addition: this year we are including Alternative Prompts, for anyone looking for more direction or not clicking with either of our one-word prompts. 💙

As usual, this event is aimed at fans of all Critical Role media featuring these two. To be mindful to your fellow fans, we request you use the tag #cr spoilers for any campaign-specific pieces past where TLOVM s3 ended. Likewise, please use #NSFW tags when relevant - as steamy as these two are, remember that there are minors (and people checking tags at work) in this fandom space!

Tag any creations made for the event with #percahliaweek, or @ us here @percahliaweek, and we will reblog it. Or you can submit directly to the blog if you’d prefer!

We also have a Discord server - both to encourage eachother to work on WIPs and just hang out. You can find us HERE <3

Any questions? We have an FAQ up HERE - but please don’t hesitate to send in an ask!

[percahliaweek]

Hey y'all! Long time no see!

We've had two awesome years of Perc'ahlia week - with a third coming this fall! Given September 29th falls on a Monday, that'll be the start date of this year's event (with Yours / Later as per tradition).

After two runs of this event, we wanted to ask for your feedback with a very brief survey. Which prompts, or styles or prompts, get your muse going? What could help you have a great time this year? Are there any ways we should shake up how the event is run?

And we've got a little community event we'd like to pitch at the end! ;)

If all goes well in our busy lives (unlike last year, woops), we should have further announcements to come in the coming months. Hopefully, with your feedback, the prompt list should be done before summer really kicks off!

The Google poll shouldn't take more than 5 minutes of your time, bar long written responses, and we'd really appreciate it!

-Mod team 💙💘

Perc'ahlia Week 2025

Have you participated in our past prompt weeks? Considering giving it a shot this year? We'd love your feedback!

📂 but about fearne if that's okay to ask

At least once when she was very small she gave nana a bouquet as a gift that was entirely full of flowers that would kill most creatures if smelled or consumed. Nana found it very charming, though.

📂 please and thank you

When the Nein help remove the corrupt leadership and improve the bad conditions at Driftwood Asylum, Vandran briefly comes out of retirement to fight with them.

He saw Fjord right after he left there. Any chance to get back at them for hurting him is one he’d take, even if he’s quiet about the desire.

Thinking about Whitestone common folk.

They know the names of the wretched undead in the portraits of legend, and they are the only ones who do. It is a triumphant moment for a cleric of light to pierce through darkness to most. To them it is an impromptu cremation of a person they knew, perhaps even loved. To them it is a funeral as much as a triumph.

They are grateful to Vox Machina. Beyond words, they are grateful. They also know about the chance that it is them who tore their loved ones asunder, even if they’d already died.

They know as many people who were killed as who survived, but there are not graves to visit or bodies to see. They wouldn’t trust them to stay in the ground, anyway.

They smile as the city is called a font of invention and progress. They think of improvised weapons and half-made healing potions and altars made of broken building and try to not give away how well they understand why, or just how strange they feel about it.

People ask them why grieve leaders so reclusive, so barely known throughout the world. In reality, they ache for children gone before most of the world knew their names.

They tell the children not to go into the forest. Some assume it is to avoid the wolf they all know prowls the forest. Everyone in Whitestone knows he is the least of their worries.

There is a tree they regard like a brother, but they look at it each summer morning like some sort of cosmic forecast, as if a leaf falling would herald doom. Some of them are pretty sure that years ago, it did.

They don’t deny the stories of something terrible in, beneath or around the city. None of them seem to agree what the danger is, though in the company of fellow locals, no answer is treated as wrong.

The ravens are not quite right. But this is not Zephrah. Outside the castle walls, no one seems to know how to even talk about that.

[ghostofwhitestone]

I just read your new AU and I need more!! Like... did Percy still get tortured by Anna? Did they find him in the Whitestone dungeon or a local jail?? Does Anna even EXIST?!?! I need more, you can't just write that and not tell us more.

Thank you so much!

And yeah. She very much does.

He’s singled out this time because of his work with Vox Machina, a change that fascinated a still traitorous Professor Anders and made for an easy chance for Anna to taunt him.

“Where are your friends? Where is the person who fought dragons? What are you going to do now?”

He still does have a sharp mind, and in my head used inventions and trinkets as well as more traditional fighter weapons before the fall much more in the way Nott used chemicals as a compliment to her fighting style. So there is also the element of turning those against him, and Anna wanting some insight into that as well.

They do in fact find him in the cells in Whitestone, as part of the initial sweep to see the situation. It’s bad, of course, but he’s healed much more quickly and reunited with a group who is instantly protective of him.

And yet, something still comes in his dreams. Something still gives him plans that would become a weapon he is now surrounded by Vox Machina as he builds.

[ghostofwhitestone]

Okay okay hear me out: AU where the takeover of Whitestone happens in the middle of the VM story instead of the beginning.

It starts as Percy, third son who has to venture out for some family related reason, meets and adventures with a group. He saves the world from the Chroma Conclave and is considered the hero son of Whitestone. A local hero.

In the year after, Vex is invited home with him to train with the Grey Hunt, a legendary couple in the making, and one Whitestone, and the de Rolo family, looked on pridefully.

Then, Vex has a longer outing as part of initiation into the Grey Hunt.

And she returns to the in-laws she was just getting to know on the sun tree, and the castle ran by strangers.

That is why she calls Vox Machina back together, to get back Whitestone and save a man who is firmly one of their own. No matter the new terrifying influence he has gained.

They wouldn’t know then that it is the first step against the Whispered One. But when they face him, a much fresher sense of Vengeance would be alive in their gunslinger.

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR C3 E114

At the foot of the Malleus Key, aid from the Everlight does not arrive quite on time for the Lady of Whitestone. So, with the Champion freed and a family not quite whole, a ritual must take place.

Or: AU where a ritual was needed to bring Vex back.

[ghostofwhitestone]

AU where the de Rolos live, but barely.

They are all hurt in their own ways by the Briarwoods and Ripley, but a ritual goes wrong and The Whispered One takes them all out in one go.

Curious about what almost killed them, and still fragile in their bonds and safety, the de Rolos send one of their sons to investigate.

And thus, a very different Percy joins Vox Machina.
