Summary
It was dark and painful here. Heh, it always was, right? Quiet, too, and someone was holding his hand. Okay, that’s okay, probably just nighttime, then. He should go back to sleep. He felt a little floaty, which meant they were probably wasting painkillers on him. They only did that if things were really, really bad now, so he should try to rest. The hand was small. Casey, probably, right? No, three fingers, so Mikey-
Mikey!
Leon sat up, hitting his head on something low above him at the same time that something sharp and awful lanced across his side. Oh, yeah, that was… Hoof, that was more pain than he was expecting. Ay, chihuahua, damn. Beside him, there was a gentle gasp, like someone startling awake. Leon realized he was virtually crushing the foreign hand in his grasp and loosened his grip. The hand ripped away, and Leon felt the vague impression of someone backing away, bracing themselves against something that creaked ominously a few feet away.

Summary
“How you feelin’?”
“I feel…” And Ashton has to stop themself there for a moment. He felt remarkably fine, but he didn’t think he could really move, let alone get up or defend himself right now. That should make him angry. That should make him scared, too, which should make him really angry. But he wasn’t angry. The faun seemed. He wanted to think nice, but if she hung around him, she probably wasn’t. Not entirely, at least.
“Weird,” They settled on, “I feel weird.”
“Well, that’s okay,” She said, “You are weird, so.”
“You’re a little nervous, aren’t you-?” Ashton stalls again, hopes it sounds like a natural end to the sentence. He’s increasingly convinced he actually knows the faun, that her name is on the tip of his tongue but he can’t quite spit it out.

If you’ve been eyeballing this but aren’t sure you want to wade through the introductory chapters, the main author recommends trying either Chapter 7 or Chapter 10 as a “test chapter”. People/relationships untagged is insignificant. Additionally, see notes for details regarding updates and content warnings. -

Summary
Raph relaxes slightly, “His shell’s broken?”
“Yes, you could say that.”
“Okay, well, that’s no big deal-” Raph says, still defensively optimistic, “-Mine healed up just fine, and that was while I was, uh. You know.”
“This is different,” Donatello says with a little shake of his head. -

Summary
Chetney had carved the whole group little styled logos of a sort, with a B and an H intersecting, each fitting perfectly on one piece of equipment or another and thematically decorated. Ashton's was even stained black with the letters inlaid carefully in red and framed at the top and bottom with a depiction of their hammer, and they would be lying if they said they hated it. It was weirdly nice to match the group, not that they would ever say so out loud, and Cherney's was the crudest of the batch. Not that any of his work was crude unless it was intentional, but the letters were misaligned just slightly like he'd used his own for practice while finalizing the design.

Just a little 2-chapter fic for the holiday season.
Tilt your head and squint, and this could have a trace of Angst and Fluff, but it's a lot more fluff than anything else. -

Summary
Fearne’s a little worried. Not like, real worried, or anything, it’s just that Ashton doesn’t go all still like that very often. In fact, she doesn’t think she’s seen them go this still at all except for when they’re really hurt, like “call FCG over here” hurt. She doesn’t think they need that now, though, but she creeps over to investigate anyway. Maybe peer in to see those little fireworks.

Little short blurbs from Critical Role that aren't quite developed enough to be their own works. Nothing here is going to be much more than 1-2 thousand words, because if it's longer then that I'm going to spit shine it and publish it as a stand alone fic. These are unedited and uncut, written spur of the moment ficlets. Feel free to make suggestions and requests in the comments section, top of summary is from whichever story is my favorite at the moment. Mind that I will update the tags as need be.

Chapter 1: Hot Rock (The party visits a hot spring, focus on Fearne and Ashton)
Chapter 2: Blooming Souls (Inspired by Duganator01's fic, "Blooms that Bind". AKA Soulmark AU, but with flowers! All of Bell's Hells featured, if briefly.)

Summary
He woke to the feeling of heat on his face and pressure on his chest. A groan built in his throat, but he didn’t voice it. Quiet, always quiet, and still. Don’t move until you know what you’re moving into. Make no sound until you know who’s there to hear you. He breathed in scorched air and opened his eyes.
His vision blurred the flames leaping out of the window above him, but the thick smell of smoke shot him through with enough alarm to move his aching body. Something heavy slipped off his stomach as he sat up, and he blinked to focus on the object beside him.
An arm, limp, connected to a bloody shoulder. Glassy eyes stared from a face he didn’t know, mouth open, cheek pressed into the concrete.
Or: Eliot wakes up on the floor of a parking garage beside a dead man, with no memory of who he is or what happened to the other man. He only knows two things for certain: someone is trying to kill him, and he's not going to wait around for it to happen.
Or or: The author reread a western and decided to make it everyone else's problem.

Summary
“hamartia (noun): a fatal flaw leading to the downfall of a tragic hero or heroine.”
Donatello was irreplaceable. He knew that for a fact - he had built his own worth up so high, there was no way anyone could fill his seat at the table. There was one thing that Donatello would never be; that he would never LET himself be. He would never be a liability.
-
Or: Donnie loves himself, but he doesn’t like himself, and it takes him being critically injured for anyone to notice the difference.
