Summary
The question was familiar. The same one that Jester had asked in Trostenwald when they first met.
“When was the last time you had a bath, Caleb?”
_________________________________Caleb is having issues with his hygiene once again, but luckily he has a friend to help him.
TWs!! This fic deals with Caleb's self-loathing/depression. Self injury is briefly mentioned but blink and you'll miss it. Same for disordered eating. I just like to write soft scenarios where people are loved and cared for, okay? -

Summary
The first time he noticed himself doing it in front of the Mighty Nein was in a book shop. No, not noticed himself, he never noticed that he was doing it, more like he noticed others noticing. In this case, Jester.

Summary
“Well then, I shall ask you a question,” said Essek, “Do you believe I should participate in conversation more than I do?”
Caleb raised his head in alarm. Did his friend think he was being criticised? Did Essek interpret Caleb’s judgement of his own silence as reflected upon him? Caleb raised his hands plaintively, “No, not at all. In fact, I think I’d be a little taken aback if you did. Please understand, it is not silence itself that I dislike and I certainly do not condemn yours, only my...lack of ability.”
“Why should you hold yourself to a standard you do not hold others to?"
:
:::5 times Essek saw Caleb's unmasked self (and loved him all the same) and 1 time Caleb saw Essek's (and loved him the way he deserved).

Summary
A figure from Lucien's past shows up to collect on an old arrangement. When Molly doesn't want to talk business, the stranger takes him and the Mighty Nein for himself instead.
Caleb is only just able to get Jester to safety in time. But when the rest of his friends fall victim to their captor's vampiric thrall, that leaves him trapped and alone against the twisted attentions and easy cruelty of a wizard more powerful than he's ever dreamed of being.
Jester struggles to understand her enemies and make a plan of attack. Her friends are counting on her to save them, even if some of them don't know it anymore, and so she is determined to be the light in the darkness for them and all the people of Tanner's Crossing.
With a little bit of magic and a little bit of research and a whole lot of determination as they fight their own battles, Caleb and Jester might just save their friends before they lose themselves in the bargain.

Summary
Caleb’s running a fever by the time the rest of the Mighty Nein find him.
He was expecting that much – he’s done this before, after all, knows that it’s a bad idea and will not go well in the long run. However, bleeding out in the middle of a forest is also not a good idea, and will also not go well in the long run. The difference is that bleeding out in the middle of a forest will go exceptionally poorly in the short run, so it’s a lesser-of-two evils sort of thing. He’s well-versed in Faustian bargains, made both unwittingly and otherwise. It’s fine.
(In which Caleb gets separated from the rest of the group, and then injured, and then some rather ill-advised DIY field medicine involving fire. The rest of the Mighty Nein are left to pick up the pieces when they find him.)

Summary
There is the question, now—do they track the thieves down on their own, or wait to meet up with the others?
“We should at least wait and ask Jester tonight.”
Beau makes a face. “Or,” she says, “we could also not do that.”
“But—”
“Sitting round waiting for a message isn’t gonna get us anywhere.”
“No, but—”
“And doing a little preliminary research isn’t gonna hurt. So like. We might as well.”
“...Ja, okay.”(or: caleb and beau on a solo mission. a simple job, a couple complications, a bit of good-natured bickering, and a whole lot of awkward caring.)

Summary
“Now please repeat what you just said. I think I’ve finally had an aneurysm and misheard you.”

Summary
Before The Mighty Nein, there was The Blumenthal Drei.
Caleb had hoped the two would never collide, but the world was never that kind. Not to Him, not to Eodwulf, not to Astrid, and especially not to the Mighty Nein.

A Heart That Burns As Bright As Phoenix Feathers by Angel Ascending (angel_in_ink)
Fandoms: Critical Role (Web Series)
28 Mar 2019
Tags
Summary
No members of the Cerberus Assembly spoke negatively about Trent Ikithon’s experiments, at least not openly. The mage was brilliant, no one could question that, and sometimes brilliant minds ran in strange channels. Everyone had their hobbies, their little quirks. Maybe they gave an inward sigh when Trent picked more students from the school’s roster for “special training,” knowing that they would probably never be seen again, but it could not be helped. If it meant that someday the Empire could conquer the men and beasts of Xhorhas, could expand their borders, well, then it was worth the lives of a few children. Many such sacrifices were made for the Empire.
