Fjord: Cowboy Sailor with a cool sword. I had not realized he is the Brains of the group.
Jester: Oh, it's that cute Tiefling with a cool design that every- SHE HAS THE SECOND HIGHEST STRENGHT STAT????????? FOLLOWED BY THE BARBARIAN???
Beau: Pretty much what I expected from art.
Yasha: Big Gurl. I Like.
Nott: I had no idea Nott was a girl. and I DEFINITELY did not know she was Caleb's mom.
Molly: I literally had NO idea this character existed at all before starting campaign 2. I pressume that means only good things are in store for him.

This week, we have thirteen angsty fics for you! Look under the cut, heed the warnings, and don't forget to comment or kudos if you like them!
our lives were never ours by vivolet (145817,Mature)
Warnings: canon-typical violence, character death, implied/referenced suicide, implied/referenced torture,
Pairings:
The Mighty Nein, but make it Hunger Games fusion.
Reccer says: Hunger Games AUs are a guilty pleasure of mine and I have such a soft spot for this series. It focuses on Yasha and Caduceus, so if you love those two and want lots of angst and torment and focus on their characters, this series has you covered. The level of detail, the continuity porn that utilizes every scrap of canon detail and puts it to use in a new setting, and the beautiful prose make it a compelling read. It will hurt your soul.
wild mountain thyme (among blooming heather) by Aurelie (NowImJustSomebodyThat) (8107,Teen)
Warnings: None
Pairings: Korrin/Vilya
Vilya's memories do not all come back at once
Reccer says: I love considering Vilya's story from her point of view, and the nonlinear narrative here is heartbreaking and beautiful
those that crawl and flutter towards the sun by vietbluecoeur (6163,Not Rated)
Warnings: Major Character Death
Pairings: Essek Thelyss & Jester Lavorre
AU; Essek's curiosity gets the better of him and he develops a friendship with a creature who only lives for three days. As that creature is Jester, she makes it memorable.
Reccer says: The worldbuilding is beautiful, the prose is gorgeous, and the tragedy is delicious.
the seed that falls on good ground by Ford_Ye_Fiji (1750,Teen)
Warnings: Body Horror, Spiders
Pairings:
While traveling with the Crownkeepers, Orym receives his own creepy crown dream.
Reccer says: I love Orym as an incorruptible beacon of light and I love it even more when he's being tempted. The angst is delicious.
a walk-on role in the script of your long, long grift by grayintogreen (1136,Teen)
Warnings: None
Pairings:
Cree delivers the threshold crest.
Reccer says: It's always a good time to feel sad about Cree.
come around when you break by maybetwice (3861,General)
Warnings: None
Pairings:
In the aftermath of the final fight in EXU, Opal gets taken care of.
Reccer says: I'm a sucker for stories where a sad character gets tended to by their friends and Opal went through A LOT in that last fight. She deserves to get pampered by all of her friends.
my devils they whisper in my ear, deafening me with all my fears (i'm living in a nightmare) by Ford_Ye_Fiji (12128,Mature)
Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence, Disassociation, Suicidal Thoughts
Pairings: Percival "Percy" Fredrickstein Von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III & Vox Machina
Scanlan does not destroy the pepperbox. For Percy it goes about as well as expected.
Reccer says: I liked it
One, Two, Switch-a-roo by Allise (3712,General)
Warnings: Chronic Pain
Pairings: Percival "Percy" Fredrickstein Von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III & Vox Machina, Keyleth & Vox Machina, Percival "Percy" Fredrickstein Von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III & Keyleth
Vox Machina manage to find some magical box that switches the body of whoever's closest. What happens when Keyleth and Percy get caught in the blast?
Reccer says: It's not that I want other people to deal with chronic pain, but there's something of a wish fulfillment in having someone else experience the pain and
From the Ocean to the Shore by commoncomitatus (7775,Teen)
Warnings: None
Pairings: Jester Lavorre & Mollymauk Tealeaf
A missing scene from C2E16 wherein Jester is hypervigilant about her friends going down and receives some much-needed comfort.
Reccer says: I love Jester angst and this fic has a unique perfectly Jester rhythm to the prose that makes it a fun read while still being very much in the vein of angst. If you like reading characters being sad but in a less gut-punching, visceral way, this is a fic for you.
the infinite grains of sand by jadeandquartz (1327,Teen)
Warnings: None
Pairings:
A look at Fearne's thoughts as she's forced to make That Decision.
Reccer says: The absolute tragedy of Fearne having to choose between which of her friends to revive is something I love seeing explored, and this fic does it so eloquently and true to Fearne's feyness.
the worst thing to happen by k_152 (2588,General)
Warnings: Major Character Death
Pairings:
The fight with Otohan ends with everyone but Imogen dead. She acts accordingly.
Reccer says: I LOVE a good Villain Arc story and this presents such an enticing what-if while also punching you in the feels.
i wont hurt you by dearestpiers (3038,General)
Warnings: Vaguely suicidal thoughts; childhood illness; animal death; offscreen Nein deaths
Pairings: Caduceus & Clay Family, Caduceus & Essek
An exploration of Caduceus's relationship with death, from childhood through meeting the Nein to long after.
Reccer says: I liked it
Home is Where the Heart Is by LessAttitudeMoreAltitude (1720,General)
Warnings: Panic attacks, vomiting, self-harm, Caleb-typical self-esteem issues
Pairings: Caleb & Essek, Caleb & Beau, brief mentions of all canon M9 romantic relationships
Caleb buys a house in Rexxentrum, but being alone there makes him panic.
Reccer says: I liked it
