Critical Role Fic Highlights (Sept 14 - 20)

These are my favorite fics from the last week. (Potential spoilers for C2E034 or earlier, including C1.  Check fic tags for specifics.)

If you like these lists, PLEASE REBLOG.  Tumblr hides posts with external links in the main tag fairly randomly, so it might be the only way to get these recs seen.

Recs:

The Stars Between Bruised Knuckles by sockablock @sockablock (Beau & Nott; Nott tries to help Beau remember her dreams; fluff, but also serious conversations)

Maybe Destiny Was Just the Friends We Made Along the Way by Angel Ascending @angel-ascending (Yasha and Caduceus, a quiet peaceful conversation about loss and destiny, some angst, but mostly comfort)

queen mab by girlsonthetv (Calianna/Jester, AU; Cali goes to a maskarade and meets a girl, very fluffy and cute)

A little broken, a little new by Beleriandings @kanafinwhy (Percy & Cassandra, Cassandra dreams she killed Percy; Angst, Comfort, siblings)

Multi-Part Updates:

Chapter 5 of Brandy by PrincessAmericaChavez @princessamericachavez

These are my favs, but I generally stick to AO3 and prefer one-offs.  If you’ve read a Critical Role fic that you’d like to rec, add it to the list (and link the author) and tag it #critficrec.

Ugh.  So, I guess it’s time for this post.

Yes, Critical Role Fic Highlights is dead.  I had a realization while preparing last week’s post (which never went up) that I just wasn’t enjoying it anymore.  I felt like I was rushing through both fic and the most recent episode to make sure I could do it and . . . I didn’t like that  So, no more Critical Role Fic Highlights.

That said, that is not the end for supporting fic for this blog!

I’m loving doing the Critical Robin Challenges, so that’s definitely going to keep being a thing (probably a short one every two months).

I’m thinking about doing Critical Role writing prompts for the community (so keep your eyes peeled here)

And I’ll keep pushing out fic recs every once in a while, just not every week.

Other things?  (I’m thinking!)

So, end of Critical Role Fic Highlights, but hopefully the start of a whole other kind of fun!

Thanks to everyone for your support with the highlights and watch this space for more fun! :)
