The rules are under the cut for you to read if you haven't already checked out the profile!

Welcome to the kink meme for Critical Role!

This community is open to all fans of Critical Role no matter what your preference for pairing may be. You do not have to join the community: you can either watch it or just track the post. Anon commenting will always be on, and IP tracking will be off. So feel free to stay anon if it makes you more comfortable.

What is a Kink Meme?
It's pretty simple. You post a prompt and your fellow fans get inspired and write fic based on that prompt. As it is a "kink" meme, a great deal of fic will be of the smutty variety, so if you aren't into that or not of a porn-reading age, this place won't be for you. Not all fic has to be smutty, but it does have to be kinky.

Clarification: This is a kink meme, therefore prompts must be kink-based. It is not a general prompting/headcanons meme. There have been a couple of people confused by that, so we're just making it extra clear.

Please only post one prompt per comment so to avoid any confusion.

How do I prompt?
Post each prompt as a new comment to the main post. Include pairing (or threesome or more if that's your thing) and anything else you want to add. You should put, at the very least, the pairing in the subject line along with a specific kink if it applies. You can put the whole prompt in the subject if it will fit, but if it doesn't, use the comments. For example:

Subject line: Beauregard/Jester, friends to lovers

Body of comment: Jester's been letting Beau use her for sparring practice. That kind of proximity does things to a tiefling.

I see a prompt I want to write! What now?
Go for it! You don't have to claim it, and fills can be written by more than one person. Once you've finished you must post it as a response to the original comment. Responses should use a subject line that includes the pairing, rating & any necessary warnings (i.e. incest, non-con, etc.). If you have titled your fic you can also include that. Also, as LJ limits the size of comments, if your fic goes into multiple comments, please note that your comment is part 1/5, part 2/5 and so on. Using the prompt above, the subject line could read:

"Punches and Pastries, Jester/Beauregard, M, 1/3"

And now some rules...

Since we're all supposed to be adults here, let's act like it. Be respectful to your fellow posters.
Your kink is not someone else's and their kink may not be yours. If you don't like it, don't read it. It's really that simple.
Please no bashing of other pairings. Just like with kinks, everyone has their own flavors, and this is neither the time nor place for ship wars. This meme is meant to include the entire fandom.
Crossover prompts are allowed, but they must include a Critical Role character as a main part of the prompt.
RPF is also allowed, but please prompt it over here!
Het, slash, femmeslash? You're all welcome here. The more the merrier!
It's not a requirement by any means, but writers love feedback, so if you read something you enjoy, take a second to tell the writer. Whether it's a one word response or something longer, it's always appreciated.
Please follow basic kink meme etiquette by not linking the cast or crew to this meme.

While we want this to be a relaxed and cool place, we also don't want people to feel uncomfortable being here. If you have suggestions or comments on how this community can improve please address to them to

criticalkink in a PM or drop a comment on this post.

The most important rule of all? HAVE FUN.

Now go forth and prompt!

Hooooooooooly shit. Holy shit. This is absolutely chilling and so beautifully done. My heart was breaking for Caleb the entire way through, and I loved every painful minute of it. The point of view of Andras is so perfect--straightforward and a little removed in a way that makes the things happening that much more chilling and vivid. Seriously, there's all these little touches to his narration that paint such a vivid picture of the asylum--Andras's relationship with the other attendants, the routine of the asylum, his awareness of the different kinds of customers that come for Caleb, the difference in social station of the workers. That running line of Caleb earning them new boots. OOF. Oof. What a gut punch. Honestly, this entire fic is just one precisely-placed gut punch after another, and it never gets any less gripping and horrifying. Meg is such a vividly-drawn counterpart to Andras--god, her seeming sweetness in combination with her impersonal brutality is so fucking chilling. And the descriptions of the different customers wanting different things from Caleb are so horrifying and vivid and so believable. Just. Ahhhhhh so good.

And THIS: Andras most wants Caleb like this. A warm body next to his, dependent. Helpless. He doesn’t want to do anything about it, to take it any further, but there’s a strange satisfaction in knowing that it would be easy because Caleb trusts him. Holy fuck. I mean, it's so good because it makes so beautifully explicit what's been underpinning Andras's narration the entire time.

And the section in the present day with the Nein!! Oh my god. So, so good. I love the gradual process of Caleb trying to piece together what's been done to him, and the added painfulness of not being sure if his memory was modified, or if this really happened to him. I love your voice for everyone (Ahh that observation about going hungry as a child in Fjord's pov. Geez that's good.), but especially Caleb. The remove that Caleb has from himself feels so true, and as with the previous sections, the understatement and straightforwardness of your prose just makes things even more vivid. And just. Beau feeling helpless but keeping an eye on Caleb as best she can. Caduceus so aware of the strain on Caleb and how it's affecting the group, but not pushing Caleb to talk to him until he feels ready. And god, that entire conversation between Caleb and Caduceus is pitch-perfect, with Caleb frighteningly straightforward with what has happened to him and Caduceus letting him talk while lightly guiding the conversation--it aches in the absolute best way.

Just, this bit: “Some things you have to live with,” he says. “I’ve learned to live with worse. The difference is that they didn’t come upon me suddenly like this. They were always there. It’s just strange, to find an old wound you didn’t know was there.”

“I’m sorry to hear that this isn’t new for you,” Caduceus says. Because what else can he say?

Heartbreaking and gorgeous.

He was never entirely sure that the rosemary would winter over, but in general, it did. It does. It’s hardier than it looks.

And such a beautiful, bittersweet and hopeful last line. Just. This is such a beautifully done, beautifully painful thing. I loved every bit of it.

Hi, author-anon here, and I just wanted to thank you so much for this comment. I hold every comment/reply I get near and dear to my heart, but I don't reply to all of them, especially on kink memes -- except to occasionally address a specific point or concern. (Because I don't want to clutter up comment threads, mostly. And then a little bit because I sometimes feel self-centered talking about my writing process in a setting that's anonymized by design. Nobody's here to hear my thoughts! We're all just here to get weird, and that's chill as hell.)

But in well over a decade of writing fanfiction, this is probably the longest and most in-depth comment I've ever gotten. I was absolutely floored by it and I wanted to express my appreciation. The fact that you would take the time to go into this amount of detail about what you enjoyed means a lot to me. I'm honored that you liked it so much, and grateful that you'd let me know. And it's very useful to hear what kinds of details held the greatest weight and had the most impact, for future writing ventures!

Anyway, sorry for rambling, but this was just really great to read (and I've reread it several times now, haha). So, thanks.
