Caduceus Campfire stories by A_Orbit for wizardposting
Fandoms: Critical Role (Web Series)
08 Jul 2025
Tags
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
Rilla, Arum, and Damien weren't exactly expecting a tiny surprise to come along and throw their relationship right into its next phase of development. Now that the opportunity is here, though, they are determined to make the best of it. But in the face of Rilla's physiological investigations, Damien's never-ending nerves, and Arum's very vague understanding of what a baby actually is, the only certain thing is that this is going to be a pregnancy like no other.
Title taken from the poem Good Bones by Maggie Smith.

Critical Role Animorphs AU by A_Orbit for Demenior
Fandoms: Critical Role (Web Series), Animorphs - Katherine A. Applegate
05 Jan 2023
Tags
Summary
This fic imagines the cast of Critical Role in the world and scenarios of the critically acclaimed 90s teen sci-fi series Animorphs.
It's format is very specific, and is halfway a parody of Animorphs and many 90s teen series in general, and thus can be best appreciated by people who know Animorphs well enough to understand the places where I'm mimicking a certain style. If you don't know Animorphs, though, I think you'll still get something out of the way I translated these characters to goofy traumatized teens.The fic is broken out into five chapters, each including a short excerpt from the same imaginary Animorphs book. Each excerpt is a different part of what I'd consider the core formula of the series. This was my way of getting all the good ideas I had for different parts of this world without having to write an entire book. There may or may not be a fifth fight-scene done in the future, we'll have to see how I feel.

All These Ghosts I've Grown With by A_Orbit for tianbuhenai
Fandoms: Critical Role (Web Series)

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.

To Find Out Who We Are Without The Fall by A_Orbit for AgentMint
Fandoms: Critical Role (Web Series)
21 Dec 2021

Summary
After years of asking and even more years of rumored misconduct, King Dwendal has finally authorized The Cobalt Soul to conduct an audit on the Cerberus Assembly’s Office of Civil Influence, and more specifically into the Volstrucker program. Trent Ikithon has agreed to cooperate with the investigation to save face, although we doubt that he will willingly divulge any information of note. The King is permitting us to ask questions, but he is not forcing Ikithon to give anything up. If you want to truly get to the bottom of the way The Volstruker operate, you will simply have to be one step ahead of them. We know this seems intimidating for your first case as a senior expositor, Beauregard, but you will have the full might of The Soul behind you. You are more than capable, Beauregard. Ikithon has assigned a liaison to you specifically for this case. He is, we suspect, a Volstrucker himself, although nothing about this case is certain. You will meet him at the gala tonight. His name…
Or: Four times Expositor Beauregard Lionette learned something about Bren, and One time he learned something about her.

Summary
If there's one thing both the Brenattos are good at, it's faking a smile, trying again, and soldiering on with life. Hiding that kind of pain, however, can only work for so long.
Two years out from the fall of Cognouza, it's time for Veth and Yeza to admit that things just aren't working anymore. Accepting that you need a change is never easy, but with their friends to lean on, they might just be able to build something better in the aftermath. -
