To Warm The Cold And Hollow Places by Angel Ascending (angel_in_ink)
Fandoms: Critical Role: Aramán (Web Series)
02 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
“I never really sleep anymore,” Occtis hears himself saying. He tastes salt on his lips as he speaks, and it tastes how food used to. “I close my eyes and four hours passes in a blink, but I don’t feel rested. I’m surprised by my reflection in mirrors, but I’ve almost stopped flinching from the self I don’t recognize. I’m not hungry but I need to eat, otherwise my mind slows and my body begins to fall apart. What I eat I can barely taste. I can’t decide what I miss the most, the feeling of being rested or the satisfaction that comes from eating a good meal.” Occtis tries to stop speaking, but one more phrase makes it out on the last of his breath. “There’s a hollow place where my heart was, and it’s always cold.”
----
Occtis tries to come to terms with his new (un) life.

Choke Me In Shadow, Drown Me In Light by Angel Ascending (angel_in_ink)

Summary
Wicander Halovar, priest of the Light, Bearer of the Filament, cowers in a chair made of fine wood and plush upholstery. Above him, so close that it’s all he can see, Halandil Fang looms, his face lined with sorrow and his eyes flashing with anger.
“You said you had it taken care of,” Hal growls, his face mere inches from Wick’s own. “You promised me.”
“Hal, by the Light, I swear, I didn’t lie to you. I thought— my parents agreed that hanging your brother was— it was my grandmother, she—”
“No more excuses,” Hal snarls, and then his lips are crashing against Wick’s hard enough to bruise as Wick finds his mouth suddenly filled by Hal’s tongue.

How To Socialize Your Humans by Angel Ascending (angel_in_ink)

Summary
“You should bring your Maker here,” Wulfric says. The sun is low in the sky, shading towards dusk. “To meet my Companion. It would do him good, I think. He is lonely, that is what drew me from his heart in the first place, and while he says I am all he needs, I know it for a lie.”
Pin considers this. Is Occtis lonely? It’s true that he seems to have few friends that he has seen, save for Thaisha, who had called Pin “the cutest abomination of nature” that she had ever laid eyes on, which had caused Occtis to chuckle. “I can try,” is what he finally says. “But he usually stays in cities.”
“And Kattigan rarely leaves the forest,” Wulfric says. “Still.” He lays his muzzle briefly on Pin’s back. “You are welcome here, with or without the one who made you.

Making A Friend by Angel Ascending (angel_in_ink)

Summary
“I, Occtis Tachonis, eighth of my line and last of my house, name you Reynard,” he intones as he dips two of his fingers into the purple ink and draws his sigil on the dog’s flank, a mark that looks like an angular numeral eight. “By the twist in the loop of the cycle of life and death, by the sign of infinity upright, return and let us be bound together.”

Summary
August stays quiet throughout dinner, signaling that he’d like to take watch with just a simple nod. He manages a smile for Misty, a gentle reassurance that he’s fine, that his head is just too busy for sleep at the moment, as it often is, and declines her offer of staying up with him. He pretends that his coat still needs mending until everyone is asleep, then puts aside his needle and thread, placing his head in his hands.
“Do you want to talk about it?”
The words are shadow given sound, and if his time in the Hive hadn’t taught August that silence and stillness meant safety, he might have shouted and lashed out at the voice before realizing it was Skreev.
August’s moth hisses, wings fluttering.
“I wasn’t asking you, Mister Fuzzy.”

Curse of the Green Hag by Moorishflower
Fandoms: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)
27 Apr 2023

Summary
“For the crime of attempting to parlay, the hag has cursed me to fall prey to my most bestial urges. Either to secret myself to the woods and there lose my mind, or else to succumb to overwhelming desire for the first creature to touch me. It is why…” Here, a spark of Xenk’s old self-righteousness flares in his eyes. “...I begged you not to touch me. And now here we are.”
“In my defense, you weren’t really coherent,” Ed says weakly.
Three months after the defeat of Sofina, Xenk shows up on Ed's new doorstep needing help with a very specific curse.

It's hard to put out fires when you're burning, just as it's hard to do good as the Champion of a Betrayer God.
