Summary
When Yussa invites himself along on an expedition to Aeor, he expects to unravel both the mysteries of ancient mages, as well as Caleb's mysterious arcane acquaintance.
If he'd known this sort of mystery was best-relegated to the pages of a romance novel, he probably would have stayed home.
In which Caleb unpacks some feelings around trust, Essek admits some fears about family, and Yussa is a third wheel.

Summary
"There’s an after-school program that I think would do you some good. Like a club, sort of. You could meet some people like Nott.” Mr. Sol’s smile was wide and seemed genuine. “You seemed to get along well with him.”
“Oh.” Caleb wanted to protest, but he couldn’t. He didn’t need to meet people. He’d had people before, and it had done very little good. He was fine alone.
“I’ll give your parents a call and let them know, okay?”
“Ja. Okay.”
Mr. Sol called the people Caleb was staying with and told them about Zadash High’s “Behavioral Correction Program”. And Caleb left.It had only been a month since he’d left rehab and come to this school, and he was already being recommended for a troubled kid's group. So, overall, he was off to a shining start."
In which Caleb has a lot of trauma to work through, the Mighty Nein is A Lot To Handle (tm), and Caleb's parents are lowkey my favorite characters.
The first work in a shamelessly self indulgent, stupidly elaborate High School AU. Basically, the Mighty Nein are shoved into an after school program together. Slow burn bonding, angst, and probably cuddling to follow.
Title from Noah Kahan's song "Please".Series

Split and Uneven (Critical Role High School AU) by Walpger
Fandom: Critical Role (Web Series)
12 May 2025
Summary
Basically, the Mighty Nein are all in an after school Behavioral Correction Program and they work on their issues togetherrrr. Lots of angst, bonding, and family vibes.
There's going to be at least one work dedicated to every character, (and potentially more for some of my favorites because I'm biased haha) so it's going to be a wild time.

Summary
It's just a few little lacerations to his palm. He can manage that. There's nothing to be troubled with. The others don't need to know. It'll end soon, and Caleb will forget all about it.
or:
Caleb is hit with a spell that causes the affected individual an overwhelming urge to inflict pain, and the only individuals around are his family and himself.

Summary
"You wanted them to take you"
His lips are numb as he says it. Like Nott's flask had spilled across his face. He almost wishes she had it.
But the way Caleb's eyes look him over, calculating whether he can lie or not, wash a whole different sort of cold numbness across his body.
Caleb sighs, the Nein's attention frozen on him.
"This is not the first time I've been interrogated. And it probably won't be the last. I'm actually...quite used to this. I had assumed I would be the best person for this...excersize" he explains without question.Series

Summary
Caleb was a sentimental idiot to stay with the Nein as long as he has, and it's time for him to go—it's the only way to keep them (and himself) safe from those forever chasing him. He needs to vanish into being nothing once more.
But Trent Ikithon is a determined figure, and without the Nein at his back, Caleb is no match.

Summary
For many, college is a chance to restart and make yourself the person you want to be. You can rebuild yourself and start anew. That was exactly what these 8 planned to do.
AKA, I'm doing a college AU. Read it if you like angst, domestic fluff, found family, and more! I'll focus a lot on Caleb in this, but other characters have planned arcs and will get their time to shine.

Summary
Zemnian, fɛɐ̯ˈnɪçtən, verb.
Definition in Common: 1) to destroy, ruin, wreck; 2) to annihilate, obliterate, benothing; 3) to do away with, undo.Ich werde seinen Geist vernichten.
What if Bren, after having his memories restored, was unable to escape the asylum? What if, instead, he was kept in Vergesson under Ikithon's spell, only able to try to break himself from it once every thirty days? The Mighty Nein proceed as they had, followed by the cat familiar that had helped Nott escape from a prison cell and stuck with her ever since. Somehow, they still end up Heroes of the Dynasty and winding up before Emperor Dwendal for stopping Obann's attack on Rexxentrum.
And Ikithon still sets off their creep radars.

Summary
"There were others," Caleb whispers, eyes falling shut, "who could have been you. Our foe, the pretty monster with the face of my old friend. He made me angry. He was presumptuous and tricky and he called me attractive, and still it was you in my thoughts."
You make me angry, he doesn't say, because it is only partly true. Essek makes him many things, and anger is only one log on the fire. A twig against the burn of everything else about him Caleb cannot escape thinking about.
--
A stolen moment before the Nein set out for Aeor. There's a gap between what you want and what you can have, sometimes.

Summary
“A favor is returned by another favor, Liebling,” his mother says. “And the creatures of the woods will always collect.”
Caleb, four years old and bright-eyed, nods as he helps his mother dust a little bit of sugar over the plain cakes she has baked for midsummer. They don’t always have enough, but when they have anything to spare, it goes to the stille Luete. Simple cakes, dishes of cream, little dolls made of straw that dangle like effigies over the fireplace - when they have enough good wood for kindling.
“But be careful not to ask too much,” she cautions. “If a favor is large, the fae can be fickle with their power. Gold turns to straw and the like, I’ve told you that story, haven’t I?”
“Ja, Mutti,” Caleb says cheerfully. “I can be careful.”
