this one meme but with them

[scarilydark]

i love the implication that since the last oneshot, the M9 have stayed together throughout this mess (because Caleb never learned Sending, and them being together is the only reason why Jester would be able to send a message to Imogen right), but i really gotta put my two cents in that i don't think they should've ever really broken up in the first place. maybe it's my polynein brain going brrr, but these idiots are Family. i'd give them a month at best before literally everyone is pestering Caleb to upgrade the tower so they can all live there together.

[critter-rarepair-reccs]

Hello all! Hope your Wednesday has been well so far. This week we have fourteen fics featuring various different polyamorous ships! As always, you can find them below the cut and if you check any of them out, I encourage you to leave kudoes and comments to spread the rarepair love 💕

gilded mischief by annie_blackbird (20,437 words, Explicit) Pairing: Yussa Errenis/Essek Thelyss/Caleb Widogast (Shadowidoyussa) Warnings: Consensual Somnophilia, Safeword Use, Mentions of Slavery

Caleb and Essek spend a night with Yussa, with Caleb under the effect of a sleeping potion. After some discussion, the night progresses with Essek as Yussa's very good boy.

Reccer Says: *grabs you by the shoulder* you need to read this fic. Even if you're not already aboard the Shadowidoyussa ship. It will convert you. It is so soft. It is so hot. Like, the perfect balance of tooth-rotting fluff and scorchingly hot smut. Yussa is Exandria's softest dom and I adore him. Essek is a sweetheart doing his very best and I'm holding him in my hands. Caleb is asleep but the ways he's still a present influence on the story through Essek's POV is absolutely wonderful. Please read it, you will not regret it.

can't you see yourself by my side? by ryseling (7,519 words, Explicit) Pairing: Fjord/Jester Lavorre/Caleb Widogast (Widofjorester) Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, Under-negotiated Relationship

Hearts Full of Light by kaeda (5,032 words, Mature) Pairing: Astrid Beck/Fjord/Eadwulf Grieve/Jester Lavorre Warnings: None

The nein & friends are restoring the blooming grove after Trent's attack in 141. Mostly lighthearted as Jester meddles & matchmakes. POV alternating between Fjord and Jester.

"Essek Thelyss, prodigious dunamancer and crown Prince of Rosohna. Caleb Widogast, illustrious court mage for the Lord Eadwulf Grieve of Blumenthal. Mollymauk Tealeaf, Opal of Nicodranas, fourth child of the Tealeaf Estate. What happens when affection escapes the bounds of propriety and courting? What comes once a kiss has been bestowed? A romance draped with light and honey, of course."

Reccer Says: I just love this entire AU so much so I'm cheating and reccing the whole thing lol... it's so well done and thoughtfully constructed, and they're sooo lovey dovey and pining and flirty ugghggh - bonus: the lucien vs essek part makes me especially feral 🤣💜

Fearne wins the drinking contest in Byroden and requests kisses as her prize. Polyamory and shenanigans ensue.

"In which Mollymauk comes back to his body, minus a few memories, at the Blooming Grove. Essek is intrigued. Caleb is glad."

Reccer Says: I LOVE THIS FIC SM.... it's such a perfect post-canon depiction of the slow, realistic, exciting, curious unfolding of their relationship, and I love their characterizations and dynamics 🥰🥰🥰 it's a SWM classic to me

"a dragon, a damsel in a tower, a knight in shining armor you can guess how this goes ;)"

While spending the night in Caleb’s tower, Astrid gets thrown into the past.

Reccer Says: God, the way this one has Stuck with me since I first read it. The visual of Astrid squeezing herself under the nook by the stairs is burned into my brain. Her panic, Wulf coaxing her back to herself and the present, her reactions to Caleb and Essek, it’s all so heartaching and wonderful, I love it so much.

Fjord and Jester are about to embark on a high-seas adventure...and Eadwulf shows up and insists on joining their crew. They don't know what he's plotting (or what he's running away from,) but that won't stop them from flirting with him until they find out.

Reccer 1 Says: I enjoyed it! Reccer 2 Says: Adorable Fjorester flirting. All the sexual tension of that one sword fight between Fjord and Eadwulf. Unstoppable force (Jester Lavorre) meets immovable object (the world's most miserable, wretched wet dog of a scourger.)

And we have three reccs for: amongst the things left unforgiven by nonwal (63,958 words, Mature) Pairings: Astrid Beck/Eadwulf Grieve/Essek Thelyss, Astrid Beck/Eadwulf Grieve/Essek Thelyss/Caleb Widogast (Blumenshadow) Warnings: Panic Attacks, Discussions of Suicidality/Euthenasia, Temporary Character Death, Suicidal Ideation

Astrid and Eodwulf start visiting Essek in Rosonah to keep an eye on him, then Essek starts visiting them at Caleb's tower in Rexxentrum to keep an eye on them. They dance around eachother in conversation out of mutual distrust (and flirting) long enough to save Essek from himself and fall in love about it. Astrid and Eadwulf take it upon themselves to save Essek from himself. Two scourgers show up at Essek's home to interrogate him about the Mighty Nein. Then he discovers that both of them are also uselessly pining over Caleb. Then, he gets closer than advisable.

Reccer 1 Says: the character dynamics and banter are absolutely top notch. the author really nails the character voices. Reccer 2 Says: I enjoyed it! Reccer 3 Says: An alternate ending to C2 with a great balance of intrigue, angst, slow-burn romance, and fluff (if you can count three wizards lying to each other for fun as fluff.)

title: flowers are the way to a girl’s heart

relationship: jester/beauregard/yasha

summary: hanahaki au/multichapter

Chapter 3 Summary: Beau fucks up. Coughs up some more flowers. Jester deals with some feelings. Everyone’s not having a good time.

Fic Summary: Her dad always told the same old stories at parties. But, drunk one night, he told a different story. About the flowers that he would spew every waking hour he couldn’t be with her mom. The love of his life. It only left him once he had confessed his love. It’s what people meant when they said you were lovesick, he said. Burns you up inside hot enough that everyone can see it, or just makes you start coughing up flowers.

She had thought her dad was talking shit like always, but turns out it’s true. She should have guessed after she found out the hag was real too. Beau was in love twice over, and now some weird dumb love magic was punishing her for it.

[romeoandjulietyouwish]

I would love some BeauJes or Beauyashter HCs (Polynein or otherwise) if you are up for it. Maybe in the Empire Siblings Neighbor AU? Or any other AU

Beaujester would be very interesting in the Neighbor AU because the second he noticed Beau catching feelings for Jester, he suppresses his feelings for Jester because he would never get in the way of Beau.

Since everything about Beau's family would come out sooner, Jester would just attach herself to Beau, deciding that she needs to make sure that Beau never ever doubts her worth. Of course Beau falls head over heels for her.

When Beau figures out that she has feelings for Yasha as well, she talks to Caleb at length about it. She has no experience with that kind of relationship, but he's told her about Eadwulf and Astrid so she asks for his advice.

[distant--shadow]

I wish I had know about your during the M9 era bc 🥵

ehhh it's not much a loss! I'd like to think I've improved a lot since then, I guess thanks to drawing so much fanart haha

was mostly beauyashter (beaujes preferable) and an amount of trans fjord. I draw em still from time to time caus I love that group of fucks very much

but yeah, Imogen is the character of all time for me and now I'm pretty fluent in drawing her and laudna it's a lot of fun for mindless (brain burning from the cogs turning) evening sketching whilst I got the YouTubes on. fearne is actually my favourite after Imogen but she's just such a struggle for me to draw, idk if it's the horns and the flowers (it is)

[vethbrenatto]

the world wasn’t ready for her hot take (beau/yasha/veth/jester should be as popular as beauyashter)

[katesharmawrites]

Hey, I think I have the right person but I think I was following your old account and you were a pretty big Beaujester fan back in the day. Did you end up watching until the end of the campaign and what did you think?

Hey there! I definitely am a pretty big Beaujester fan to this day. I love my blue girls and always will. I didn't make it until the end of CR2, I got up until the Lucien nonsense and then just gave up. As much as I loved Beaujes though, it was not my reason for quitting. I made peace early into shipping them that they may never have been canon but they always would be in my heart. I honestly didn't mind Beauyasha for most of the campaign, I would have preferred both Beau/Reani and Beau/Keg but it was fine. Just personally not the stuff otps are made of for me but I was never an anti. I shipped Jester more with both of them and I honestly think Beauyashter would have been the ideal. It brought a lot of much needed conversation and softness to both characters.

The big problem with everything was the timing hands down. We picked up again after the hiatus and something just felt...off. Everyone changed their characterizations just a little bit and originally I thought it was because they were rusty from the break but it just kept going.

Looking back, they decided to start Campaign 3 at the same time as the animated series. It makes sense, I got into CR when Campaign 2 had like 50 episodes and it took me 3 months to finish those and then another month and a half to catch up with what they'd put out since then. By lowering the number of hours people would have to invest, they maximized their potential growth from a business standpoint.

From a campaign 2 standpoint it was...messy at best. They did jump ship on Beaujester in a rush to endgames, which was fine and their decision. However the phrasing in Beau's conversation to Fjord was incredibly bad and it did hurt me as someone who has heard my feelings played off that way. I am never going to apologize for our fandom being hurt by that or say it was unreasonable, especially when at the time everyone was jumping into our tag as a means to celebrate their victory and kicking us while we were down.

It also felt like they just jumped away from plots we all wanted to see: Yasha going home and finding out about Zuala herself and maybe avenging her death, laying those flowers. Caleb taking down Trent and trying to see if he could save Astrid and Eadwulf. Beau trying to break her family's curse to save her beautiful little brother from the same unhappiness she was plagued with. In general the Hag? Matt made it clear that the Hag was going to figure out Jester was fucking with her. UKATOA. The gentleman's whole thing.

There were so many loose ends, the campaign could have easily gone on another year or two. We could have seen a nice slow build up been Beau and Yasha where they comforted each other over their bad upbringings. We could have seen a nice payoff where Nott couldn't keep a secret even if ultimately nothing ever came from it. We could have seen Fjord slowly come to respect Jester for who she was, instead of the kid he treated her as in the beginning. WE COULD HAVE SEEN CALEB AND ESSEK KISS.

Overall I loved Campaign 2 more than Campaign 1 but I hurt for the missed potential. I miss the moments that came from the relaxed pace and they will always be my favorites but the way everything kind of just fell apart in the end was just...not it. And I definitely have just lived in a canon where nothing after 100 happened and there was less metagaming because the campaign was ending. It was my least favorite thing about the feel of Vox Machina and I was disappointed when it reemerged.

[wvearp]

I’m so happy I get the Beauyashter trio and Fjord back in my life but…I Miss Imogen and Laudna

Return to me At Once

[bougiebutchbitch]

I know you haven't posted cr stuff for a while but. Beauyashter for the ask game?

sdfklghskdlfhgdsg ngl in all the byj stuff I've seen, yasha's kinda been left out or a bit of an afterthought and like... she's my girl. So I do like the concept, but I prefer beauyasha because I want the focus to be on yasha klsdfhglksdhflgdsg

It's really cute though!

[casukaga]

it was my birthday a couple days ago, so i drew self-indulgent empire sibs art for free serotonin (ref used!)

and then i projected onto beau and made it her birthday too. featuring lazily colored doodles via flat colors and gradients.

Mighty Nein and their favorite video games/video games genres!

Beauregard: hardcore fighting game fan, Street Fighter, Tekken, Mortal Kombat, if you can name it, she's probably absurdly good at it.

Caleb: Minecraft, enjoys playing in creative/peaceful. complicated redstone creations, entire cities and castles, etc Veth: her favorite video game is Candy Crush. Jester: plays Minecraft with Caleb, also loves Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, Sims, and Pokemon (her favorite pokemon is all of them) Fjord: racing games/sports games, but whenever the Nein play a game together, they make him play the horror games cause he has the funniest reactions. Caduceus: similar vibe to Jester, tbh, Minecraft, Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, but he also enjoyed Untitled Goose Game immensely. Yasha: has a soft spot for dating games and visual novels Mollymauk: loves action games, Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, etc Essek: doesn't play many video games, but Caleb has been introducing him to stuff. secretly a master of DDR. The entire Nein play single player games together, depending on how hard it is they pass the controller per death.

[mockingmolly]

how gay and iconic for Beauregard Lionett to go around saying things like  “i think jesters a god” and “I think yasha’s an angel” like this gal’s immediate reaction to developing feelings for other women was to insist that they were divinity 

[sivsii]

Beau and her gals :)
