OPERATION: HOT BOI LIBERATION (or: How I Spent My Spring Break in Rexxentrum, by Verin of Den Thelyss) by CatgirlTheCrazy
Fandoms: Critical Role (Web Series)
17 Apr 2022
Tags
Summary
The more Verin dug into it, the more convinced he became. Essek had spent an inordinate amount of time with the Mighty Nein when they came to Rosohna. Done all sorts of strange favors for them. Ferried them all over Wildemount. Arranged visits with prisoners in the Dungeon of Penance. Let them dig up his yard. Descended into Aeor with them, unaccompanied. Accepted invitations to dinner. Let one of them hug him. In public. More than once.
Mind control. It had to be.
Verin gets it into his head that Essek has been kidnapped by the Mighty Nein (specifically Caleb), and sets out on a solo rescue mission to Rexxentrum.
Hijinks ensue.

Summary
It is a mild night in Nicodranas, and Veth is considering slamming the door in Essek’s face.
He’s wearing a Disguise that she hasn’t seen before and an expression that warns of future vomit. He says, shivering, “Um. Hello. Please help me?”
Veth, who is beginning to wish that she hadn’t answered the door in her skimpiest robe, attempts to surreptitiously cross her arms over her cleavage. She says, remarkably pleasantly, “Are you fucking insane?”

Martin certainly doesn't mean to stumble across a freshly-post-Buried Jon trying to untangle his hair, but when he does, it would be a bit rude not to try to help, right?

Summary
“Martin?” asks Jon. That’s the last straw. Jon, with his ridiculously attractive voice, saying his name just like that. To be the first one to say his name to his face at all. Martin lets out a sob, and then his body is being shook by them as months, nay, years of frustration, fear, and the feeling of being wrong pour out of him.
or: 5 times Jon stuck by Martin in this world, and one time promised forever Somewhere Else.

Summary
“This isn’t a joke,” said Georgie. “Those woods are dangerous, and you know it.”
“You can’t honestly buy into that,” said Jon, straightening out his back to face her. “They’re just woods, it’ll be fine. I’ll take the main road back – they’re patrolled enough at night that I shouldn’t run into any – ” he punctuated his sentence with a small flutter of his hands. “I’ll be fine, honest.”
“This isn’t like your stories, Jon,” she said, her arms crossing over her chest. “You could get hurt, or worse.”
“Like cursed?”A shortcut through the Black Woods has Jon stumbling into the path of Martin, who dresses in odd clothes, and keeps strangers hobbies.

Summary
When Sasha had told him she was certain Jon and Martin were going to do something stupid, Tim’s initial response had been to roll his eyes and mutter, “What’s new?” Because if nothing else, the past few weeks had proven they were the dumbest pair of intellectuals he’d ever met. It wasn’t a surprise that Jon - serious, skeptical, determined Jon - was incorrigibly impulsive and prone to somehow always choosing the wrong move to make; Tim had seen plenty of that back in their days in Research, usually when whatever statement they were working on involved a Leitner.
It was far more surprising that Martin was a dirty enabler.
OR, a tale in which Tim interrupts a poorly planned attempt at a stake-out and causes chaos, as is his due right.

Summary
After what feels like the longest silence of Martin’s life, Jon adds, “Would you like to have another birthday?”

“No, I, ah… Today.”
“Today?”
***
On the drive from London to Scotland, Martin realises that whilst working with Peter Lukas, he completely missed his birthday. Jon decides that they should celebrate there and then.

Summary
“What?” the other man asks, wiping the smear of flour of his cheek. He examines his hand, frowns, looks back up. “Did I miss a patch?”
“No,” Jon says, despite there being flour all over Martin’s apron, a bit on the tip of his nose, and a healthy smattering in his hair. Something about Martin in the kitchen covered in flour makes his heart squeeze. Just like this, he thinks, the same way a desperate, brokenly in love man would. Let us stay just like this. His eyes catch back on his hair, looking at the flecks in the roots, the spark of orange that has started to nestle among the black and shock of white (a blessing from the Lonely, because unfortunately, most things that love Martin are not the most kind to him). He wants to run his hands through his hair. He wants to ask about the color. Is it natural? Is it new? Is it Martin’s original color? He wants to know, wants the knowledge inside his head and next to his heart, filling up his chest, and for that reason he cannot ask in good conscience. He cannot ask and still know for certain that the answers are given voluntarily.
-
or: Jon learns a softer kind of knowing, finds his heart, goes grocery shopping, and ends the world.
