The Marks Life Left On You by Angel Ascending (angel_in_ink)
Fandoms: Critical Role: Aramán (Web Series)
05 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
The first time they had done this, during a few stolen hours when Occtis and Julien had been on watch together, (an occurrence which had surprisingly not ended in violence) Thaisha had been so careful of her, asking permission before kissing any of her scars, (of which there were many) and wanting to know the stories behind them all. Some Vaelus hadn’t remembered, both memories and scars worn smooth by time. Some she had remembered very well; the thick, jagged scars across her stomach from a ghoul’s claws, the thin white scar on her upper left arm from a training accident when she had first joined the Sisters of Sylandri, the barely there scar on her knee from falling out of a tree as a child.
The scars on Vaelus’s face and neck, the ones that Thaisha is kissing now, Vaelus hadn’t been ready to tell her how she had gotten those. Thaisha hadn’t pressed, just traced them with her fingers when she had been given permission, and then followed her fingers with her lips. They’re the most sensitive of her scars, both physically and emotionally.

My Beloved Tastes Of Flowers by Angel Ascending (angel_in_ink) for floralprintshark
Fandoms: Critical Role: Aramán (Web Series)
01 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
Thaisha’s never heard of anyone growing a flower based off of a half second’s glimpse of dried petals and drinking a cup of tea, but it doesn’t feel like it should be an impossible task. She had experienced the flower after all, just not in the usual way.
Thaisha closes her eyes, focusing on the reddish-pink hue of the petals, on the tartness that still rests on her tongue and her memory. She feels something stir, not only in her cupped hands, but low in her gut and high in her mind, unfamiliar but not unpleasant. The first thing she sees when she opens her eyes is the trumpet shaped flower that’s bloomed in her hands, red petals wide and ruffled.
The first thing she hears is something that sounds like a sob.
“Do you know what you’ve done?”

The Humiliating Ordeal Of Being Cared For by Angel Ascending (angel_in_ink)
Fandoms: Critical Role: Aramán (Web Series)

Summary
“For someone who doesn’t trust me, you were very quick to choose an option of treatment which, arguably, implies that you believe I can keep you alive and whole,” Occtis says without looking up from his task.
“I had very little choice,” Julien says. “I will not simply lay down and die, and I refuse to lose my arm without trying to save it. What I do or do not believe has nothing to do with it.”
“I see.”
There’s something in the boy’s voice, or maybe in the set of his shoulders, that causes Julien to take notice. “Do you believe you can save me?”

What if the only person who might be able to save your life was the person you trusted the least?

To Warm The Cold And Hollow Places by Angel Ascending (angel_in_ink)
Fandoms: Critical Role: Aramán (Web Series)
02 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
“I never really sleep anymore,” Occtis hears himself saying. He tastes salt on his lips as he speaks, and it tastes how food used to. “I close my eyes and four hours passes in a blink, but I don’t feel rested. I’m surprised by my reflection in mirrors, but I’ve almost stopped flinching from the self I don’t recognize. I’m not hungry but I need to eat, otherwise my mind slows and my body begins to fall apart. What I eat I can barely taste. I can’t decide what I miss the most, the feeling of being rested or the satisfaction that comes from eating a good meal.” Occtis tries to stop speaking, but one more phrase makes it out on the last of his breath. “There’s a hollow place where my heart was, and it’s always cold.”
----
Occtis tries to come to terms with his new (un) life.

Choke Me In Shadow, Drown Me In Light by Angel Ascending (angel_in_ink)
Fandoms: Critical Role: Aramán (Web Series)

Summary
Wicander Halovar, priest of the Light, Bearer of the Filament, cowers in a chair made of fine wood and plush upholstery. Above him, so close that it’s all he can see, Halandil Fang looms, his face lined with sorrow and his eyes flashing with anger.
“You said you had it taken care of,” Hal growls, his face mere inches from Wick’s own. “You promised me.”
“Hal, by the Light, I swear, I didn’t lie to you. I thought— my parents agreed that hanging your brother was— it was my grandmother, she—”
“No more excuses,” Hal snarls, and then his lips are crashing against Wick’s hard enough to bruise as Wick finds his mouth suddenly filled by Hal’s tongue.

Curse of the Green Hag by Moorishflower
Fandoms: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)
27 Apr 2023
Tags
Summary
“For the crime of attempting to parlay, the hag has cursed me to fall prey to my most bestial urges. Either to secret myself to the woods and there lose my mind, or else to succumb to overwhelming desire for the first creature to touch me. It is why…” Here, a spark of Xenk’s old self-righteousness flares in his eyes. “...I begged you not to touch me. And now here we are.”
“In my defense, you weren’t really coherent,” Ed says weakly.
Three months after the defeat of Sofina, Xenk shows up on Ed's new doorstep needing help with a very specific curse.

It's hard to put out fires when you're burning, just as it's hard to do good as the Champion of a Betrayer God.
