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.)

Summary
Beau's been on the streets for six years and has been an army of one her whole life, and she totally doesn't care if it stays that way for the rest of her life.
Jester's been on the streets for a few months and has always known there are people who love her, and she'd very much like to not be on the streets any more thanks.
Fjord's been on the streets, off the streets and now he's back on them again with magic powers he doesn't understand and he's hoping to find a way to get them under control.
Somehow all three of them find their way to Zadash, to the top floor of an apartment building filled with people with possibly even more illegal or storied pasts than them. Somehow they actually manage to afford it for longer than a week. Somehow it ends up being even better than they thought it would be.

Summary
Brevity has never been his strong suit, and the lies on Caleb's tongue melt like ash in water.
He would chase them if he could. Calloused hands delving into icy water.
But every syllable that slithers from between his teeth is too fast and too sharp for him to reach.
The truth shackles him to the ground and all Caleb can do is wait it out.
(A truth spell has taken hold of Caleb Widogast, and it goes as horribly as you'd expect from such a scenario.)Series

Summary
The Mighty Nein are looking forward to a few days downtime after speaking to King Dwendal. Vox Machina has gathered at Whitestone, to discuss a message they received from Allura that the war across the sea may be more than it seems.
Everyone goes to sleep. And that is clearly their first mistake.
(AKA there's not enough bodyswap shenanigans in this fandom, and I believe in being the change you wish to see)
