You fill the emptiness behind the masks I wear by SkyScribbles

Summary
Ashur swallows, and the confession spills out like blood from his lips. ‘All those days wearing a mask. All those nights by myself. Quin, I feel – empty.’
‘No,’ Tarquin says, sounding like Ashur’s words have punched him in the stomach. ‘No.’
(The blight is calling Ashur, but Tarquin calls louder.)

Summary
They have Ashur.
They’ll unmask him, in front of the whole city, the whole Imperium. They’ll kill him slow. They’ll hang his body on the walls, like the Magisters of old used to do to traitors and cowards. Because Ashur decided to slip away and try to bring down a pack of blood mages alone, even though he’s eaten up with Blight.
Because he didn’t tell Tarquin.
(In which Ashur almost throws his life away, and Tarquin can't bear this any longer.)

Summary
Emmrich thinks, helplessly, but you could have anyone for the asking, and I should not, at my age.
But they’re here. They want him. And if this is what they want – if he is what they want – then oh, Emmrich will give himself. He’ll give them everything.
(In which Emmrich and Rook both confront the terrifying beauty of being wanted.)

Summary
Again and again, elven culture has been destroyed. Any fragment that remains is precious.
Rook, a translator for the Veil Jumpers, finds a priceless link to that lost history: an ancient elven folktale. And so they set about translating their ancestors' words... while their friends add contributions of their own.

Summary
There is a gravity that has pulled them together many times. It pulled Caleb’s lips to Essek’s forehead, and Essek’s hands to Caleb’s arms when a tower collapsed upon him. It pulled Caleb to Eiselcross, now, to be at Essek’s side as his life as the Shadowhand dies.
Now, it could pull them together into Aeor.
(Two wizards venture into Aeor - and find that something has woken in the dead city's depths. Something dangerous. Something that will force them to decide what their pasts mean to them, and what they mean to each other.)

A thousand fingerprints on the surfaces of who I am by SkyScribbles
Fandom Critical Role (Web Series)
02 Oct 2020
Summary
'Changing is hard. For most of us, it happens little by little in in the smallest moments and we don’t notice it, we don’t choose it. But looking yourself in the face and deciding to be different – that is hard. You are unpicking threads of who you are that were put in place more than a century ago.'
(A collection of Essek-centric oneshots, following a hypothetical redemption journey post-Episode 97. Features Shadowgast and Essek's platonic relationships with the Nein. The fics are arranged in rough chronological order and are loosely interconnected, but they can all be read individually. This series was written during the 2020 hiatus, so is not canon compliant beyond episode 100.)
