Because some of you asked, here are my (Sarah) favorite Critical Role fanfics from AO3.
Added 2024-11-06 18:44:40 +0000 UTCBe warned, almost all of these feature 2 men as leads (sometimes trans, but usually cis.) Sometimes there is polyamory that adds another man, but occasionally a woman. Most of them involve a BDSM dynamic of some sort. The main characters I'm *obsessed* with are Caleb Widogast & Essek Thelyss from CRs campaign 2. My general preference tends towards if the setting is a modern AU and I *loooove* a slow burn.
Also, just in case, I'm going to put a general TW here. The character of Caleb has a real fucked up backstory in CR, and oftentimes the author has worked it into their fic. It often involves abuse of a teenaged character, torture, and A LOT of mental anguish. If those aren't safe for you to read, you should think hard about whether you want to read these.
