raise ur hand if you felt personally victimized by Travis playing a character with KIDS in an adventure that was going to ultimately culminate into an apocalypse event 😭👋
Julien's mom being named Maya is going to be very weird for me. It's like when Cerrit's daughter popped up but even more so. Julien's mom might eventually be an important reoccurring NPC (if she's not dead already). That's so weird, nobody ever has my name. Good weird, but weird.
There are times when you want to get sucked into a series, and then are times when you just want to read something in a single sitting. Check out eleven one shots underneath the cut - from all three of the main campaigns (and Calamity too). And if you like them, don't forget to comment and kudos!
It’s a Process by fraternite (1740,Teen)
Warnings: Descriptions of injury
Pairings: Caleb Widogast & The Mighty Nein
Caleb is injured after a battle, and healed, but magic can’t fix everything. The Nein help take care of him for the rest.

Pairings:
During their first trip into the Happy Fun Ball, the Mighty Nein are trying to navigate around several rooms. When Fjord touches the weird red circle that leads to the Dragon room, Molly has a bit of a reaction.
Reccer says: It's a fun look into how Molly would have acted if he'd seen the tapestry window with the Cognouza button thing. It's really stuck with me.
path of the traveled sun by mousecookie (6008,General)
Warnings: None
Pairings: Essek Thelyss & Verin Thelyss
Post-canon, Verin comes to a party at Essek's invitation, curious and hoping to reconnect - and is completely unprepared for how much Essek has changed.
Reccer says: I love how much this feels like a real sibling dynamic, and the complicated feelings about having a brother that wasn't the best but has now become a better person
Reccer says: Exactly what I needed after Calamity - to me, this is canon

if i had a nickel for everytime a young child of a very important authority in a flying city of the age or arcanum managed to escape the fall of their city with (possibly) a great knowledge that might be lost to post-calamity exandria in thier power i'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
