Notes: post "Blood and Dust". So I know I still have the collection I'm still working on, the fics about episode 14. And I had other fics that I also planned on writing that take place; one set between ExU and Campaign 3, and one set after ExU: Kymal. But then I got this little idea after Thursday's episode, and...well, I just had to go for it. It might be a bit rough since I wrote it so quickly though, so my apologies for that.

Summary: Fearne fastens the tooth to the ribbon, creating a necklace that she holds out to Dorian. "Just for you to remember us and the adventures that we've had. In case, you know, something bad happens and we never see each other again."

Dorian chuckles softly, a touched smile on his face as he takes the necklace. "It is entirely possible. But I'll tell you this...." he continues as he loops the necklace over his head, "If for some reason this tooth ever falls off, there's no way I would ever forget you."

Genre: General, Friendship
Rating: PG

Notes: pending "In Too Deep". So I'm a bit of a late critter to Critical Role. I've never seen any of Vox Machina, and I've only really seen clips and highlight videos of Mighty Nein. Bells Hells started as also just watching clips and highlights too, but my brother and I have been recently trying to catch up with Campaign 3 in earnest. Once we've actually gotten caught up, we're planning on catching up with all the ExU videos as well. Especially because I absolutely love Dorian, and I need as much as I can get of this stupid blue bard haha.

In the meantime, I also just keep rewatching the end of episode 14, because I guess I'm just a masochist I don't know, but that's how I got the idea for these fics. At first I was just going to write just one fic, but then it started branching out into several things, so I decided to just make them into a collection. They're not necessarily connected stories, they're just little moments between Dorian and some of the others that I wanted to explore. I haven't thought of moments with each individual member of Bells Hells just yet, though I'm hoping to come up with something for everyone. But I also have a few things planned that might be a little more unexpected. Here's hoping I'll be able to write them up, heh.

This fic was the original idea I had, and it was intended to be a bit longer. But it started getting a little clunky, and I couldn't get certain ideas to flow right, so I trimmed it down. I think this turned out pretty okay.

Also, I did kind of intend for this to be a bit shippy, just because I do think Dorian/Imogen is really sweet. But it can be read as entirely platonic if you prefer, which is why I didn't actually tag them as a ship. However you want to interpret it is up to you.

Summary: Time continues to trickle by, each passing hour bringing the Wyvernwind Brothers closer and closer to their departure.

Some last minute words, thoughts, and feelings before Dorian has to say goodbye to Bells Hells.

Notes: So I'll admit, I had...mixed feelings about the finale. I won't get into all of them here, but one of the things that I felt was really lacking was any kind of...meaningful interaction with Donald and the boys? Of course there was a shift in their relationship when Della came back, but we don't see how they might have felt about Donald leaving? So I just needed a bit of closure. And naturally, it seemed like a perfect fic for Father's Day.

Special thanks to toonish for helping me with some parts (especially Louie's) as well as beta reading for me!

Title and summary are lyrics from "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts. Because that song is totally Donald to the boys, but it also works really well with the boys to Donald in this situation.

Summary: And while you're out there getting where you're getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you

Notes: post "Friendship Hates Magic!". Frank Angones had said that by "A Nightmare on Killmotor Hill!", Lena is already living with the Sabrewings, but I've always been a bit curious about how that came about, and about Ty and Indy's first meeting with Lena. So here we are.

Summary: When Violet said she wanted to make new friends, they didn't expect her to bring one home with her.

Title: In the Lows and the Highs
Chapter: Before They Meet
Fandom: VeggieTales
Main Character(s): Sara Crewe, Mr. Carrisford (Archibald Asparagus)
Minor Character(s): Jacques (Jean-Claude Pea), Pierre (Phillipe Pea), Captain Douglas Crewe (Larry the Cucumber)
Genre: Family, general
Rating: G
Disclaimers: VeggieTales © Big Idea
Notes: Based on "The Penniless Princess". I wanted to explore the growing relationship between Sara and Mr. Carrisford after he adopts her, because I'm a sucker for sudden family, and people having to adjust to living with and taking care of a child. And The Penniless Princess just happens to be one of my favorite VeggieTales stories, so here we are.

This technically takes place before Sara and Mr. Carrisford officially meet. But when Sara finally gets to see Mr. Carrisford, she comments, "I must admit, I was very excited to meet you." I'd always wondered about that, so this is my reasoning why.

Summary: A collection of one-shots focusing on Sara Crewe and Mr. Carrisford as they navigate their new family.
