CR Campaign One: Vox Machina era (RPF)

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: Pike/Sarenrae, holy visitation

Body of comment: Pike gets a different kind of spiritual visitation one night.

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:

"Holy Smitten, Pike/Sarenrae, NC-17, 1/5"

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.

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!

So this isn't really a kink other than the rpf aspect, but I saw a con panel where Laura was saying something along the lines of that she loved that she could lean on Travis in every way and it made me really want some comfort fluff (which could lead to smut) eg where Laura was upset & he gave her bear hugs? I don't know, just something cute, maybe with the size difference, where she can lean on him a lot?

Ooh, yes, Travis being big and buff and looking after his tiny wife? :D

+

Laura needs him that night, of course; and when they’re driving home, Travis is just as giddy and horny as she is. Clothes are quickly stripped, left with her purse in the front living room, and Travis disappears briefly in their closet to produce a leather whip; it’s handle tucked into the waistband of his briefs and little silver beads hanging from its lash.

“Look at you.”, he teases, as she hooks her thumbs into her panties and cocks her head at her giant husband, eager for the release of this tension that’s just been building inside her. She likes to be in control, everyone knows that; but tonight, she just wants him to call the shots. Tell her when to cum, tell her where to lie as he lashes her in punishment for a game he thinks is only between them in their heads.

Except you deserve it; says this little whisper in the back of her mind.

You deserve it for using him.

+

By the time the first lash cracks across her thighs, she’s already in tears, and the sting of it is so dulled by abject embarrassment, it feels more like an open-handed spanking than a toy Taliesin gifted them from a literal underground sex dungeon.

“Hey, hey, hey-”, he keeps saying, over and over again, the whip discarded over on the other side of their bed. Travis pulls her into him from where she had just been bent over, ass up in the air for him to enjoy, uncaring for ruining their game. It’s awkward, their limbs jostling together with bruising urgency, and Laura begins to whimper, suddenly as the burning sets into to the welts just under her ass.

She struggles away from him then, burying her face back in the pillow so she can keep pretending, that whatever had been cracked inside her before hadn’t completely shattered and destroyed her favorite place of refuge.

“Okay. Okay. You’re okay.”, Travis reassures her, a steady, heavy hand settling on her shoulder. “It’s fine. I didn’t know what I was doing and- it’s okay. Babe? Hey, it’s fine. Just fine.”

“Uh-”

“Okay. Don’t worry about it. I’m gonna go get you a drink of water, okay? And I’ll get a straw so you don’t have to sit up if you can’t right now. Just try to keep breathing, alright? That’s it. Try and slow down a little more.”

Travis is rubbing a slow circle into her back, waiting as her ragged breaths quiet into soundless sobbing. She’s still gasping a bit too much for his comfort when he leaves her to get the water, but he supposes it’s past the point where someone could kill themselves crying, so he fills a mug from the tap and slowly makes his way back to their bedroom.

This isn’t the first time he and Laura have tried...different things; or even their first time playing with the whip. Their games before have always been more intense, and he supposes, more controlled. Maybe jumping into something like this so quickly was where he had made a mistake, but now she was hurting, and he felt strangely guilty over something that couldn’t be helped either way.

So he’s surprised to find her, sitting in one of his t-shirts on the bed, her eyes red and puffy and her hands wringing in her lap.

“Feeling a little better? Well, that’s good, right?”, he tells her, setting the mug down on their bedside table.

“No, I feel like shit.”, she rasps out, her eyes widening in alarm at the sound. She has to work tomorrow and this doozy sure is going to be an explanation.

“Aww.”

He tilts her head up to press a light kiss to her forehead, careful not to move her too much. Taliesin told him that sometimes it took a while for people to come out of their own heads in these games, and he’s willing to give her as much time as she needs, especially since this was all sort of his fault.

“Is that okay?”

She nods, soundlessly, and reaches for her drink, only to come up against him, guiding it into her mouth.

“Drink slowly.”

When she’s finished, she’s staring up at Travis, who’s grinning a little even though he looks so, so tired, standing over her like that. He’s still only in his underwear, and where she’d usually be crazed with lust and on her knees already, all she feels is the same squeezing sensation she always does whenever this happens. Where’s the merit badge for “I’m a deeply fucked up person who cried having sex with my ridiculously hot husband and ruined his whole night”?, she wonders, while he keeps his voice low and soft, careful not to make anything worse, as if that were going to help anything.

“So, that happened.”, she spits out, feeling just as raw as her throat; and he brings one of his fingers to her lips instead of saying anything. He’s still warm, and an electric spark jumps between them at that slightest little touch, making her lips tingle and her guilt sink heavier into her middle.

“Hey, no talking yet, alright? Even if everything else is a little better, that sounds like it hurts.”, he murmurs, kissing gently against her neck. “Let’s just, go downstairs and grab something warm for you, okay? Pretty sure there’s still stuff we haven’t watched on Netflix-”, Travis talks through what they’re doing as he guides her out of the bed, pulling open their chest of drawers so he can help her into a pair of pyjamas, mindful of those angry red marks across her skin.

Laura doesn’t need to be carried, but she leans heavily on him and he’s half lifting her down the stairs, his arm staying braced around her while he makes her tea and heats up leftovers. He scrolls wordlessly through their queue, eventually settling on some middle of the road action movie and turning down the sound so the screaming of gunfire and metal won’t bother her, and dims the lights as they both settle on the couch, her body still glued to his side like leaving for even a moment would be unimaginable.

It’s getting a little harder to maneuver, but eventually he finds she can curl into his side with her head on his chest and his arm still braced around her shoulders, rubbing his thumb in slow circles on her arm.

Halfway through the movie, she starts laughing, shaking beside him as a robot warrior cleaves into an alien, and Travis is almost convinced everything is perfectly okay, again.

+

Except, as the movie finishes, her eyes are still glassy and she looks lost, small against their couch cushions. He moves to get up off the couch, and her arm snakes up pulling him back.

“Let’s stay here.”, she offers, and Travis glances back at the couch, with barely enough room for the both of them, sighs and agrees.

“I’m sorry…”, she starts.

“C’mon. There’s nothing to be sorry about.”

He kisses her forehead, pulling a blanket from between the cushions to tuck around her, keeping a hand steady on her back.

“No- there’s a lot to-”

Sighing, he shuts off the lights, opting to leave the TV on silent so it casts a soft glow around their living room.

He sits up across from her, so he can pull her into an embrace from the back, resting his chin on her shoulder while she stays properly wrapped up, wedged between him and the couch cushions.

“I am so sorry that happened, babe. But none of that was your fault, even if it doesn’t feel that great, I promise, tomorrow everything’s going to feel much better.”

“Except- it’s not. There’s something I kind of need to tell you? Is that okay?”

“Laura? Yeah, of course, whatever it is. We’ll get through it, right?”

“I’ve been feeling...uh, weird lately, I guess? Emotional? I don’t know. It’s just that everything started to get so overwhelming and I… dealt with it, pretty shittily.”, she says, biting down on the inside of her cheek to keep from crying even more. “And...it just got...out of control, I guess.”

“The sex-”

“Yeah...that.”

“Oh, my God, Thank God. I thought this was the part where you told me you sold our dog to a drug dealer.”, he jokes, feeling her chest shake with quiet laughter.

“Don’t bring the dog into this! It’s seriously- I’m just fucked up, I guess. I um...I should have just told you.”

“It’s not fucked up to have feelings, babe.”, he tells her, tightening his hold around her, and feeling Laura relax into the embrace. “It’s really good, actually.”

“Doesn’t feel that way.”

“Well, that fucking sucks.”

“Yeah.”

He pulls them both back so she’s lying on his chest, her weight sinking both of them into the couch as her breath steadies again.

“It absolutely sucks.”

No, he reminds himself, one conversation won’t change this.

“It’s okay. Like I said, we’ll get through it, alright?”

“We’ll try?”, she sounds hopeful now, better.

“Of course, babe. We’re gonna give it our very best.”

Awwwww Travis is the best husband ever! (And of course Taliesin knows all about this stuff haha.) But awww this was so sweet and hot and awwwww :)

(Also, Discord?)

^There's a server for this kink meme!

!!! It says the invite has expired though. :(

https://discord.gg/N48fekT

TRY THIS ONE!

I forgot to use the setting to say not to allow it to expire. Anyway this should work for everyone! As well, there is a link in the "comments" mod post here.

Thank you! I don't know why I didn't think to check that post, oops!

(OP)
This was really not what I was imagining, but it was amazing & I love it so much, thank you for the fill! :D
(Definitely no squeeing or crying happening here... ;) )

Filler here; aw, sorry I guess I should have asked you for more clarifying of what you wanted? :( Oh well, I'm happy you liked it but if theres anything you'd rather have, just tell me and I'll try and write it!!!

Oh no, I didn't mean to make you apologise! I thought it was great, it wasn't how I'd originally imagined it but that's not necessarily a bad thing! I genuinely loved it anyway & im very glad you wrote it, so thank you! :D

I mean, basically all I'd imagined was stuff like the ending, so all the extra (and an actual plot!) was just an added bonus! I'm sorry for originally wording my reply in a way that made you feel bad :(

Awww you didnt make me feel bad at all! i just thought you had a specific situation in mind and wanted to do that for you! :) anyway, heres to more fun on this meme!

That's good to here! Yesssss, much fun on this meme

This is so important to me, because i just love adorable couples being adorable. I want all the laura/travis snuggles (and smut)

Exactly! They seem to be so careful about not showing any pda at all, it's only slipped through once or twice, like when travis sat on the other table & they said they missed each other. But they're just so cute and I want more of it.

I had sooo much fun with this and tried to give it a Plot (tm). HMU on the Discord if u like ;).

Laura cries over everything, and it's not really a secret, but it's not really a joke; either.

She's pretty sure that after you burst out in tears when the light turns red just as you're so, so close to making it just under the yellow, it stops being funny and starts being A Problem; but in her doctor's very expensive professional opinion, she's just like every other LA transplant who grew up allergic to the outside world and glued to books and computers and became a theatre kid in high school.

"It's just the smog. You can try just having some Benadryl in your purse, but if it really starts to bother you or gets in the way at work? We can do an allergy test to see if there are any other triggers you don't know about and then see if there's anything we can do on that end. But really, smog's a bitch.", she says; and it's so soft and caring that she can feel her eyes prickle slightly as they move to the slightly open window in her exam room.

Fucking mother bitch smog; she's thinking, as she thanks him for his help and starts digging for her insurance card in her overstuffed wallet.

Later; Taliesin shoves his glass skull bong into her hands and she takes a rip right from the hose, and her eyes don’t water and her lungs settle; rather than rebelling. He’s packed it with something stronger than she remembers smoking in high school; and she only starts to cry when she sees him skip away; giddy and intoxicated, leaving her alone with one of his cats in her lap while he holds court over Matt and Marisha in another corner of the room.

Taliesin doesn’t turn back as the cat purrs against her hand, and if Matt notices her cheeks are wet when he brushes his lips against her cheekbone to say goodbye; he’s too happy to say, and shuts the door behind her with a bright, decisive click.

+

Travis is a soft lover; so unlike what she knows the cashiers at Target are thinking when the two of them walk inside, his shirt so tight that she can trace his muscles through the fabric and his calves bulging underneath stylish shorts that she’s chosen for him. For all the incredulity she basks when she shows him off, all the wonder that someone like her can end up with someone like that (she knows that’s what they’re thinking, too- their eyes following the two of them up an aisle where Laura dumps granola bars into their cart and Travis leans on the bar; playing with his phone), no one thinks for a moment that he must be a soft lover.

Not a soft fucker; she can confirm, when her ass still aches from his cock days later, stretching her further than she imagined her body would allow; or when she stands on wobbling legs in the bathroom of their house, trying to pull on a clean t-shirt and jeans before she has to leave for work, her perfectly matched outfit scattered across their hallway floor, while Travis lies naked and sated; his legs spread and his cock hanging free and gorgeous between them.

That’s what everyone expects; but Travis is someone different when they move past the simple fucking into whatever else it was that a marriage certificate was supposed to grant them: the sweetest bruises, left like berry-colored stains on her thighs and collarbones, shaped like his lips and his thumbs and his two front teeth, just slightly crooked, closed around her nipple, his chest, warm and solid as he thrusts into her, his cock hard and yet unbearably gentle, teasing her enough to make her moan, part of a soft, easy rhythm between the two of them as she rocks her hips higher, eager for his release. He goes down on her (almost all the time) those crooked teeth and his tongue, rolling, unraveling like he’s working his way around a spoon of peanut butter at the roof of his mouth; tasting her, taking his time. His teasing sends a jolt of wanting through her middle, from a place just below her belly button, when his hands wrap around her thighs to steady them both, as she sinks into orgasm rather than rocketing into it without cause.

He even lets her taste herself; salty-sweet on his lips afterwards, after they’ve both finished, and she folds herself into his arms, a perfect fit without much shifting over their bedsheets, his body draped over her like a firm, breathing, blanket, his head angled down to rest his chin on her hair.

Here, he calls her names she cannot imagine where he finds the reasons for, charming and funny and cool, his fingers snaking their way around her body, running smoothly over her skin as he calls her beautiful, breathlessly whispers right into her ear, tickling at her neck, that she’s incredible.

Maybe, she’s just become one of those horrible, stereotypical wives who go into hormonal overdrive when they don’t get laid twice a day. There’s no Problem; no undiagnosed allergies and nothing that’s snapped inside her and healed wrong, leaving her bleeding and pained.

There’s just that she misses him, and maybe that’s all; that she needs this, simple, easy, sex to take the edge off at the end of the day.

After all; Laura is thinking, while he sleeps beside her, a blissful small smile leaving his lips quirked up while his eyes flutter behind closed lids, shouldn’t everyone crave nothing more but being loved?

+

For her credit, she’s not enough of one of those horrible wives that she actually clicks on “Search” beside “Can you get addicted to sex?” typed into Google, and besides, late night TV tells her that yes, certainly, some poor fuck is out there a hundred thousand dollars in debt because he needs to get his hands on every filthy piece of bargain-basement porn online.

Still, it’s different with your husband, right?

His cock angles into her throat and presses up deliciously against the roof of her mouth, and she feels him, warm and pulsing, sending a little shiver down her middle where several moments ago, she’d felt like running into the bathroom and dry heaving her dinner into the toilet. That squeeze felt nothing like Travis now, bracing his arm against her shoulders.

“Babe. Babe, I’m not saying I totally didn’t clean the bathroom or that I don’t love getting jumped by my wife with like, zero warning but- we have people over. Like, a lot of people.”, he whispers between breaths sucked in as she tries to draw out his hardness, unwilling to let him release.

They do; having invited over some neighbors and a few friends, all drinking and raucous and loud. Laura realizes she can’t even see the TV anymore for how much everyone is frothing and screaming, and swears her ears will burst if she doesn’t leave right then. So it’s back to her little secret, vomiting and crying in the bathroom for reasons she really can’t put into words, except to know that she wants something.

When Travis follows her upstairs, and knocks gently on the door, and asks if she needs anything, of course she lets him in, hastily finishes brushing her teeth, and demands he take his pants down at this very moment, or so help her God, they are done.

It’s exactly what she wanted, and they both leave later, hands wrapped up in one another, Travis practically carrying her back to the couch.

Their guests are still there, of course, screaming at their TV and crunching chips in their mouths, but the room seems almost silent, and she grins up at Travis, before swiping the bowl of chips off his lap.
+

“Are we like, trying for a baby or something?”, Travis jokes, one night after Laura has spanked his ass practically raw, and he’s been fucked enough to be in a rare moment of post-sex clarity. Sure. they’re always had an active, happy, occasionally kinky sex life.

Sometimes, it’s even been by invitation for a few very special friends.

But lately; he realizes, Laura is clingy and the most he sees of her daily is naked.

They’re having a lot more of it, and he’s not sure if that’s a problem, or he’s the one who’s looking at a gift right in the cunt and turning it away.

“What?”, her voice is breathy, with equal parts wear and alarm. Kids weren’t on the table, for now, anyway.

Travis bites down on the inside of his cheek. “Babe, I love you and I love this but we’ve had so much sex. So much. It’s like I live in a porno, which is kinda the dream, but-”

She slaps playfully at his bare chest, the red marks where he had tied her wrists with scarves still raised around creamy skin.

“Do you...not like this? I just have more free time, I guess. I mean we both do, now that the house is done…”, she lets herself wander aloud.

“Oh. Yeah, I guess. I didn’t think of that.”, he agrees, and rolls over so that she can bury her face in his chest. Laura purrs like a tiny kitten, and draws her knees up higher so she’s curled into a little ball he can wrap himself around without moving too much.

He falls asleep like that, and she stays awake long enough to pull a blanket from the other side of the bed and try to get it across them both.

He’s the cure, she knows that now.

His cock grinding inside her and his mouth suckling her breasts; that’s it: and it makes all her little problems go away.

He just can’t know that, of course.

+

"I mean, Vex and Scanlan had kind of a special relationship-"

Laura can feel her eyes prickle slightly when Brian turns to her; and motions for her to speak. She's sitting cross-legged on the couch, and Marisha and Matt and Taliesin are chattering away on the barstools above her. Sam has a chair a little bit away from them; closer to Brian, and she's between Travis and Liam and they're all pleasantly stoned enough that the world is soft and the laughs come easy.

"Oh my God, this is so dumb, am I seriously crying right now?", she says out loud, and everyone else erupts in laughter.

"Don't worry, Tumblr loves it!", Brian teases; and so she finishes her answer, choking on the squeezing unease that closes, slowly but surely over her throat.

+

"Laura! Hey- wait up!", Liam shouts after her down the hallway; just as she's jamming her finger into the largest cup option of their coffee machine again and again, like it'll make it run any faster. The definition of insanity; or something like that.

"What's up?", she calls; not looking up from her increasingly ridiculous task.

"You- you didn't put coffee in the- um, here, I got it."

Inside; the same familiar squeeze tightens around her stomach and she grits her teeth. God, what a stupid, stupid mistake.

"The button was just jammed. I was fixing it."

"Sure. Laura, are you okay?", he asks, loading the coffee machine with the dark roast he's discovered over the years they both prefer.

"What?"

“What did Brian put in your drink? We all know he’s a messy fucker but swear if he did something like that to be funny-”

"What the fuck-" She shakes her head, and smiles at Liam, coming up to her in his knitted sweater; because Thank God; He Won't Be a Problem. "That makes no fucking sense at all, ya big weirdo.", she teases; taking the steaming mug from his hands.

"It was just the same rum everyone had. Little bit of Sprite.”

"Oh. You just seemed kinda spacey in there.", he tells her.

"Nah."

"Something else going on?", Liam asks, and nothing between them has changed, but his voice is soft and low; his body is so close to hers that she can feel the warmth radiating from him. She could fall into his chest from here; spill coffee all over the floor and tell him something is wrong, and break down in tears about the very thought of losing him.

Liam has been one of her best friends now for years; she knows his tells from just looking over the table, and she wonders how much he can really be trusted. Liam sucks at keeping his own secrets, and he would never keep her little secret, would he now, she tells herself; before her mouth can open and ruin everything.

He would text Sam; who would text Travis, and then she'd have the two of them hovering over her; inescapable at work and home, like she really had A Problem. The others would follow; because none of them could keep their mouths shut or their fingers still, until her life turned into the worst and most humiliating episode of Intervention ever.

"Just- there’s dictator in the White House and you know, uh, my car sucks. It’s so bad and I need- I gotta get on top of that.", she mutters into her coffee, and Liam nods at her, agreeing with a little smile of his own.

“Ugh, tell me about it- ”

Wow, I really liked this. This was great.
