Caduceus Campfire stories by A_Orbit for wizardposting
Fandoms: Critical Role (Web Series)
08 Jul 2025

Summary
Contained herein you will find a series of very short stories presented as if Caduceus was telling them to The Nein about his family, maybe at night around a campfire or while on watch with one or two of them. I had too many fun little world building ideas that wouldn't all fit together under one plot, so instead they've became this collection. Think about it as something Caduceus does to pass down the memory of his family and continue practicing an old family tradition of oral forms of cultural knowledge. And just because he's proud of his family and wants to talk about them sometimes.

Summary
Life on the road, on the run, can be hard. And for a man who was once used to high society, to his needs being taken care of, the wear-and-tear of everyday objects can come as a surprise. But what's more surprising is the small, yellow flower that appeared embroidered on his shirt, seemingly out of nowhere.

Summary
Book III, and the series finale.
One fateful night nearly one year prior, Kingsley Tealeaf escaped captivity in the Hespet Archipelago and vowed to leave the world he left in his wake changed. Having made his name known as one to be feared, Captain Tealeaf has taken his faithful crew northward and turned his sights towards Darktow. 'Scores to settle' does not even begin to cover it. This is war — and all that it entails. As Kingsley reaches the end of the labyrinth and as more players show their hands and faces, the only thing that is certain is that nothing is guaranteed.
It's Kingsley's turn to take up the Nein's mantle of being a hero that no one has heard of. The Revelry’s throne is his for the taking — provided that someone else doesn’t get there first.

All These Ghosts I've Grown With by A_Orbit for tianbuhenai

Summary
Caduceus has been home with his family for a month now, and it's been a perfect adjustment. Just great, absolutely wonderful. He definitely doesn't miss any of the Nein to the point of heartache and even if he did he wouldn't feel guilty about it. All of his siblings are also perfect and completely well-adjusted and trauma free, and everything is back to exactly 100% the way it was before they left.
A late-night argument leads to some spontaneous hair care and a much needed conversation.

"Since we're on the same page," Colton turns around, extending his hand. "Give me your coin and head back home. Make this easier for the both of us."
"No?" Caduceus raises an eyebrow. "We're both adults, and you could do this by yourself, but I'm not the one making this difficult, Colt."

Summary
"Caduceus eyes Eadwulf as he places his hands on his hips, and raises his eyebrows yet again.
“I think you should get back to work, Mister Grieve,” he says, pulling his shovel free from the loose earth. “And stop kicking my plants. Have a little respect... They’ve been damaged enough already.”
Eadwulf huffs, almost a laugh. “Caught you on a bad day?” he asks. There’s a smirk on his face, and a spark beneath Caduceus’ ribs that doesn’t dissipate this time — instead it catches alight. And Caduceus slaps Eadwulf square across the face."
---
in which caduceus gets to do a little violence, as a treat.
a fix-it/missing scene in a way, i suppose. mostly because in episode 141 when caduceus yelled at eadwulf i thought for just a second he was going to straight up attack him, and i think that wouldve slapped (haha) so.. i wrote a thing. but then it turned out angstier than i meant it to.. but who is surprised abt that?
