Beau/Imogen fic, in which Beau is a Green Seeker, but something about Bells Hells intrigues her.

Finally got the first chapter up! More to come soon.

[nikdoeswrite]

Snippet of the Beau/Imogen fic that I am writing, 219 words

for minimal context, this is an au where beau travels to marquet and joins the bell's hells to hunt otohan/the cerberus assembly

Beau called out, “Hey, you look like you could use a drink.”

The woman, Imogen, turned back. “I’m not even sure if I know your name, and you’re just… rollin’ with us now?”

“Seems like it. I’m Beau. Hey, the least you could do after almost knocking me out with those spells is sit down with me and have a drink, yeah?”

Imogen sighed and stepped over to where Beau was situated. She had kind of a hardened look, from what Beau could tell, and didn’t exactly seem too willing. Nevertheless, she asked, “And what kind of drink do you have there?”

Beau shrugged. “Booze. It’s, um, a magical flask. And it was kind of gifted slash stolen from someone, so I’m not sure exactly what kind of booze, but it’s definitely got a good kick to it.”

“Why the fuck not,” Imogen muttered. “I’ll have a drink with you.” She pulled a chair over, and Beau handed her the flask.

Imogen took a swig, not as hearty of a swig as Beau would have taken, but then she said, “I shouldn’t have hit you with those spells earlier. I was real worried about my friend.”

Beau took a moment. “You know, people getting in my head is kind of a fucked up thing for me.”

“Yeah, me too.”

[tieflingwizard]

little things i love about critical role and its players: 

when marisha gestures too widely/wildly and almost smacks taliesin in the face with her hand or elbow

taliesin aiming with an imaginary gun while matt describes his shot, mimicking the recoil when matt makes the sound effect

sam’s face. just. sam’s face at any given time

liam’s cheesy endorsements of wormwood gaming/sam’s “check out our t-shirts at geekandsundry.com, that’s geekandsundry.com” whenever whispering is happening

the reactions when someone rolls a natural 20 or a natural 1

yelling so loud they almost overload the fuckin mic when Hype Shit happens

“you can certainly try”

(someone tells matt their roll) “with that,” 

someone suggesting something weird or unusual and matt going “go ahead and make a…” and pausing as he tries to figure out what kind of fuckin check this will be

laura going “oh jeeze louise” or cursing loudly, there’s no in between 

there’s more i’m sure

[release-the-sheep]

- liam leaning way back until he disappears behind the table at awkward moments - the way everyone seems to say “buddy” when talking to trinket - sam’s semi-apologetic “that’s all I got” whenever he finishes an inspiration song - the rest of the party’s reactions to anything shippy (12 year olds) - laura’s relationships with her dice - travis’ relationship with laura’s relationships with her dice - lootcrate opening shenanigans - everyone’s, but especially matt’s self-deprecating humility when announcing that they’re doing voices in a new game/show (see “it’s a game”) - liam trying to throw matt off by swearing just before the cameras go on - the awkward split second before the intro plays where everyone is either frozen, singing the theme song, or chanting “intro, intro” - the sound that the party makes when matt calls the end of an episode -so many

[neonprotagonist]

-when liam is laughing so hard hes holding onto laura or has to lean over and hold onto travis -taliesin and marisha. enough said. -”cRITRole” -when everyone recognizes the inspiration song and starts singing along -matt’s face when the party does something ridiculous - 

[tieflingwizard]

the looks on everyone’s faces when one of the party gets knocked unconscious, ranging from worry to fear to “oh hell no”

Very Serious In-Character Planning that almost always goes right out the window the moment the actual fighting starts

taliesin breaking character, specifically taliesin, because it’s always magnificent when he does (especially when it’s supposed to be a serious moment) 

but also matt breaking character to giggle

the rare moments where matt actually has to dig through his notes for something and they all comment on it

“he’s getting the book, look, he’s getting the book!” 

“why is he rolling”

“that’s a lot of dice”

when matt starts to go “go ahead and make a-” just to fuck with them 

laura ‘angrily’ going “MATTHEW MERCER”

[alexielapril]

Marisha when she casts lightning and she makes that gesture with her arm like she pull down the lightining from a cloud :Q__

when Laura cries for Trinket

nomercypercy moments

MATT’S FACES

Travis and Ashley being super cute buddies

Liam’s mimic gesture of daggerdaggerdagger

[spiceshorthalt]

Honestly all of their laughs that echo through the studio whenever something ridiculous happens, usually leaving Taliesin to struggle to remain in character 

The crew cracking up at the shit that happens, laughing so loud the microphones pick it up, making the cast laugh even more

Marisha’s cute descriptions of her actions the leads to her using sound effects to try to reinforce her point

Travis’s “LOOTCRAAAATEEEE” 

Sam Riegel’s SHIRTS 

The cast’s silence when Matt rolls and responds with a monotone and expressionless “okay”

Laura and Travis’s creative curses (my personal favorite is SHIT MOTHER BITCH)

ALL OF ASHLEY JOHNSON AND HER SHINING PRESENCE 

The way Sam says: “Bigby’s HAAAAAAANNNDDDD” accompanied by the hand gestures

The collective “GILMORE!!” everyone exclaims when Shaun appears 

Matt’s fuckin dragon stances where he puts his hands on his DM shield like a dragon on its haunches and looms over the table

Also the way Matt lazily slouches back in his chair and lifts his hand for his Gilmore stance (bonus: his Gilmore laugh)

Ashley’s “okay okay okay” as she gets her thoughts together, usually while rummaging through the Player’s Handbook or her binder when they’re in combat

Taliesin’s “I’m going to-uh…. I’m-um…. yes, yes I’ll do that okay. I’m going to” as he gathers together just how he wants to decimate an enemy

Liam’s worried/concerned puppy dog look where his eyebrows get all scrunched up when he has a serious chat with Laura or Marisha

Liam O’Brien’s Henley, beanie, glasses, and arm cuff

The way Travis says “My buddy, Pike.”

The lofty and posh tone Taliesin’s voice takes on when Percy has to conduct formal business/uses his full name to negotiate

[yashas-strong-arms]

“this’ll be funny” -taliesin

when they’re joking with each other while something else is going on and two or three people just completely mcfuckin lose their shit unrelated to the scene

Matt’s face when scanlan does A Thing

[elliesgaymachete]

To add:

Liam and Laura turning to each other and hugging in their corner whenever there are sibling moments

The cast whispering to each other in the middle of combat to keep their ideas away from Matt

Whenever the first roll of the night is a natural 20

The way Ashley says, “That would be a natural twenty” in a weird accent that’s like a mix between Scottish and Minnesotan

Everyone getting excited when Pike’s initiative is in the double digits

The recurring joke that Scanlan’s mansion ONLY serves chicken

Laura making an important roll and deciding between two dice and Travis teasing her about it

Whenever Ashley comes back after being away for a while and not remembering ANY of her stats

When Marisha doesn’t read all the details of a spell before casting it and causing chaos and hilarity

Travis making an intelligence check, saying the number, and then “Minus two”

the evolution of Essek and Jester's friendship throughout the campaign!

[c-kiddo]

i feel like, if tmn bought caduceus a ricecooker he’d be like This is the best thing thats ever happened to me. but if they got him an airfryer he’d turn evil and start airfrying anything, just totally mad with power. he’d airfry a grape

trans sunset,, trans fjordjester:･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧

[ID: Digital drawing of Jester and Fjord from Critical Role. They are drawn to appear slightly older, Jester has bigger horns and Fjord has longer, grayer hair. They are both shown from the shoulders up, Jester is talking and winking to someone off screen while Fjord is looking at Jester with an amused expression. Both are wearing white collared shirts, earrings, and Fjord is also wearing a big black coat. 

Behind them is a soft pink, blue, and white sunset on the ocean. Extra doodles of stars and sparkles frame the drawing. In the bottom right corner there is a tiny trans flag using the same palette as the sunset. End ID]
