criticalkinkThe 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: Char1/Char2, accidental touching leads to something more
Body of comment: After two campaigns seated separately, Char1 and Char2 are finally sitting beside one another. At first it's just fun to be taking their turn hanging out on the same side of the table, but before long accidental hand bumps and knee nudges become intentional.
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 DW 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:
"The One Where Char1 Gives Char2 a Handjob Mid-Game, Char1/Char2, M, 1/2"
And now some rules...
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 tocriticalkink in a PM or drop a comment on this post.
The most important rule of all? HAVE FUN.
Now go forth and prompt!

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.
- No existing-partner-bashing. Omit them if you like, or play along with the general vague CR-RPF fandom consensus that hall passes exist, just don't be a dick.
- Crossover prompts are allowed, but they must include a Critical Role cast or crew member as a main part of the prompt.
- 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.

Re: Matt/Taliesin, Touch-starved
Date: 2023-01-06 08:16 pm (UTC)CW: panic attack
----------------------------
There’s a car in the driveway. A familiar car. It’s been in this driveway before. It’s even been squeezed into the garage a few times, when no other car had claimed the space. Matt’s car, with Matt (and maybe Marisha) in it, in his driveway. After an absolutely awful year. Taliesin was shaking. No roommates home (thank god). Mask located. Hand sanitizer available. Sinks stocked with paper towels and soap. Fans on. Would it be enough?
The doorbell rang.
“Coming!” He stumbled towards the door, fumbling with the lock. Why did they make the switch so small, small enough shaky hands wouldn’t be able to open it. He was so close, and yet he was defeated by a lock. “Sorry, I’m working on it…” he shouted through the door. His hands were shaking still, breath coming shorter. The room was starting to swim. It was hard to focus on the lock.
Somehow he did it, because there was Matt, standing in front of him in all his glory. Looking normal, as he last remembered Matt, mask in hand and beaming. “Hey, Taliesin! What’s…” Matt’s hands were on Taliesin’s shoulders and steading him, though Talieisn tumbled away from the touch. Matt looked down on him, collapsed in a heap on the floor, and Matt crouched to meet him. “Taliesin?”
“It’s a lot,” he choked out, pulling his mask over his face. “It’s been a while. It’s a lot.”
Matt frowned. “Do you want me to put my mask on?” Taliesin shook his head violently and Matt nodded, still the ever calm presence at his side. “I think you’re having a panic attack.”
“Yep.” Taliesin huffed out. “Panicking.”
“Hey, buddy…” Matt reached out to Taliesin to be shied away from once again. He took the hint and leaned back. “Okay. Let’s work on grounding. What are five things you can see?”
Taliesin’s head swiveled around. “Carpet. Couch. Door. Bookcase. Matt Mercer.”
“Good.” Matt smiled at him, ever so soft. “Four things you can feel?”
“Um…” Taliesin waved his arms out around him. “Fluffy shag carpet. Wooden coffee table. Cloth couch. Leather boot.”
“And three things you can hear?”
“Dishwasher running. Chickens clucking. Your breathing.”
Matt let out a chuckle. “Try to match that breathing, if you can. Now, two things you can smell?”
“Sweat. Aftershave.”
“And finally, one thing you can taste?”
“Brussel sprouts. I had them for lunch.”
“Still burping them up?”
“Always.”
Matt reached out once again, laying a tentative hand on Taliesin’s shoulder. “Is this okay?” Getting a nod, he continued. “Okay. Listen to my breathing. Try to match it.” He pulled Taliesin’s hand to his chest and Taliesin nearly melted into him. “Slow and steady. As much time as it takes.” It would take time, Taliesin knew, especially with how bad he was shaking at the moment.
“Just don’t ask me to stand up.”
“We can play video games from the floor,” Matt replied. Taliesin leaned into Matt and let out a shuddering sigh. “I know, buddy. I know.”
“I forgot what it felt like,” he supplied softly, still fighting to keep the panic down. “After over a year, I forgot what it was like to touch someone else like this. None of the roommates…” He took a deep breath before continuing. “None of the roommates care… they do care, but touch like this…”
“I know,” Matt whispers into Taliesin’s hair, nuzzling in. “Thank God I have Marisha. Otherwise…” Matt has to take a second to regroup himself. “Otherwise I would have gone insane. It was hard enough with her. But I missed you all so much it hurt.”
“It was stupid. We were seeing each other every week.”
“You cannot look me in the eye and seriously tell me that the situation we came up with was anything even close to being at one table together.”
“No, you’re right. Doesn’t stop me from feeling stupid about it.”
“It doesn’t.” Matt pressed a kiss above Taliesin’s ear and scattered them around his shaved head. “But we’re almost back, buddy. We’re almost at the point where we’ll all be back at the same table.”
“What if it’s not the same?”
“It won't be,” Matt shifted to support Taliesin into his lap. “But that’s some of the fun. It’s never the same. Every time we play, it’s a tiny bit different.”
Taliesin squished himself harder into Matt’s lap. “I don’t think we’re going to be playing any video games tonight.”
“That’s fine,” Matt sighed happily. “I will mention that I brought protection. Optimistically, of course.”
“Not quite there yet…” Taliesin felt a corner of his mouth rise against his will. “But I will move us to the couch, if possible?”
“Very possible.” Matt helped Taliesin to his feet before strewing himself across the couch. “Top or bottom?”
“I don’t think we’re at that point yet…”
“Okay, Mr. Sarcastic.” Matt stuck his tongue out. “Who is the human blanket?”
“Me,” Taliesin lowered himself down over Matt, careful not to place his full weight on Matt. “Hold me?”
Matt huffed in his ear. “What do you think I am, a monster?”
“Only sometimes,” Taliesin kissed Matt’s cheek before settling into his neck. “I forgot how good it feels to be touched by another person.” Matt snorted. “Get your mind out of the gutter. You know exactly what I’m talking about.”
“I’ve forgotten what the touch of another man feels like,” Matt joked.
“Keep this up and you might not get to find out,” Taliesin quipped back. “I keep my promises.”
“You wouldn’t,” Matt hissed in his ear, kissing around the outside. “Because you miss it, you want it, just as much as I do.”
“Is that right?” Taliesin asked, suppressing a shiver. He wiggled against Matt’s chest as Matt started kissing more, across his shaved head and ear and cheek and neck. They both seemed to run out of steam around the same time. “You’re just trying to wind me up.”
Matt stopped. “I really am content to just lay here.” And he was. As their bodies calmed, Taliesin found himself happy to lay peacefully on top of Matt. There were a few shifts in position as limbs fell asleep, but they otherwise laid there, floating on the edge of consciousness together.
It was after some amount of time (Taliesin sure wasn’t keeping track) that Matt raised his head and brought his lips to meet Taliesin’s. This wasn’t the quick kisses from earlier, rather focused passionate kisses. It was enough to stir Taliesin awake and he responded in kind.
“I think,” Taliesin said, breaking the kiss and sitting up slowly, “we should take this to the bedroom.”
-------------
Taliesin woke up, banket half draped over his tired body, to find the other half of the bed empty. Warm, but devoid of Matt, who had been there when he had fallen asleep.
“Matt?” Taliesin called out, sitting up. He didn’t care that he was naked as he threw the blanket away. “Matt?”
“I’m coming back!” Matt called from across the house. Taliesin’s panic subsided a little. “One moment.”
“What are you doing?” Tal asked. Matt crept back in through the door before he could answer, carrying a plate of snacks and some water bottles with him.
Matt leaded over the bed, passing the plate to Talieisn and crawling in beside him. “I wasn’t gone that long.” He kissed Taliesin’s cheek. “Maybe five minutes. I just went to grab snacks.” Taliesin set tha plate aside, pulling Matt in to cuddle. Matt grunted in surprise but let it happen. “Hey, are you feeling a little touch starved?” Talieisn nodded into his shoulder. “I’m sorry buddy. Next time, I’ll drag Marisha along so she can cuddle you while I get snacks.”
“Or, maybe…”Taliesin started slowly, “I can come to your place and we can be together there.”
“Are you sure you want the threat of a dog interrupting your sex?” Matt joked.
“We can close the door. He’ll survive.”
“He’ll bark.”
“The whole time?” Matt nodded and Taliesin groaned, burying his head between Matt’s shoulder and the pillows. “Eugh.”
“Eugh indeed.” Matt chuckled. “Are you going to be okay when I leave? I don’t mean to derail the fun we’re having but Tal… you were in a rough state earlier.”
“I’ll…manage.” Taliesin mustered out. “If you haven’t caught on, I’m a little touch starved and…” He took a moment to organize his thoughts. “I wasn’t ready for the feelings that came with it.”
Matt pulled him closed and tightened his arms. “You mean so much to all of us. Now that things are… clearer, you can call anytime and we’ll be here as soon as we can. Or,” Matt adjusted to see Taliesin’s face, “you can come over to ours.”
“I have chickens to take care of.”
“I’m certain they’ll survive. You’ve got roommates. And you being in our life, being someone else we care for and who cares for us, will never be an imposition on Marisha and I.” Matt smiled. “As for the touch starved part, I don’t plan on letting go of you until we’re both ready and I have to go.”
“Not even to pee?”
“Nope,” Matt said. “Already left your side once. That’s plenty.”
“What did I do to deserve you?”
“Exist.”
“Matt,” Taliesin’s eyes got teary. “I love you buddy.”
“I love you too.” Matt squeezed the embrace tighter. “Now, eat some snacks. I have to keep you energized for round two.”
