Critical Role (Web Series)

sleeping deeply (or hiding from pain)

by spibby

Caleb sleeps, as one might expect, a bit like a cat. He can doze off in almost any place, but noises and movements startle him awake with a jolt or a soft Zemnian curse. Nott learns this early on, and practices her silent entrances and exits to their shared room until she can come and go unnoticed with ease. One of the few benefits of being goblin-sized, she supposes. Caleb never outright comments on his sleeping habits, nor her natural adjustments made for his sake, but sometimes he wakes up and offers a sheepish smile and a gentle squeeze of her hand, and it’s enough.

Glass Jaw

by Birdpeople (DeusExMachina)

“Remember how it felt to finally have enough of Adam crawling back to us looking like a butcher shop window? Well if it were anyone but you doing this to yourself, this would be my tipping point, I swear to god.”“I don’t do it to punish myself. "I’m not a fucking masochist.”“No?”“In my dreams,” Ronan said slowly, and Gansey finally let himself look at Ronan. “Cabeswater told me the nightmares are, well, mine. I make them. I make them attack me, and in my dreams, they kill me.” Shakily, Ronan raised a hand to cover one eye. “I don’t know what that means, but I do know there are physical things, terrible things, torture, that no living person should know the feel of. But I do. And it scares me. I don’t know how to deal with that kind of pain.”And Gansey understood. “Boxing is the evil you know,” He said softly.---Ronan gets in a fight and Gansey comes to pick him up. Takes place sometime after The Dream Thieves.
