Get into trouble!

Photography by @lilypuddles

Oh my lord this did not want to upload, this is the 3rd attempt to post these! The last of the photos from the Oxford shoot of Kiri, it had been 5 years since I wore the full thing and I love it, really tempted to bring her back to a few more things this year, I'm so happy with how she looks

[uy8hg-art]

Yes, she's very sweet, and also very cuddly!

A little amigurumi Kiri for the most recent @artists-guild-of-exandria project! I'm so happy I could join in with a traditional medium this time. Why draw a plushie when you could MAKE A PLUSHIE?!?!?!

(I may have written down the whole process so if peeps want to make their own Kiri, I might release that at some point)

[critter-genfic-events]

This week, we have eight amazing timeskip/future fics recced! Some skip ahead a handful of decades, while some skip ahead centuries, but all of them are wonderfully heart wrenching and hit just the right spot. Check them out under the cut, and as ever, comment or kudos if you like them!

The Matter of Lot 19 by pagerunner (10102,Teen) Warnings: None Pairings:

Keyleth returns to Whitestone after many, many years to see about a unique and precious clock that's up for auction. But she's not the only one intending to bid...and her competitors might not only be interested because of the clock's connection to a certain legendary de Rolo.

Reccer says: Beautiful and Bittersweet and has a lot of great older Kiki and Sun Tree moments.

Library Magic by westwind (2739,General) Warnings: None Pairings:

After the Mighty Nein's adventuring days are over, Caleb travels with a library in an enchanted wagon. He comes across a stranger who's nevertheless familiar.

Reccer says: I liked it

The More Things Change by FinnsKeeper (4922,Teen) Warnings: Major Character Death Pairings:

Beau is hurt. The best chance they have of saving her is asking for her to be consecuted

Reccer says: A heartbreatking but fascinating take on the nein being consecuted

Unexpected and Predictable by alullabytoleaveby (2131,General) Warnings: Pairings: Verin Thelyss & Caleb Widogast

The last thing Caleb expects to hear on a rainy Tuesday evening is the sound of a knock at his door and Verin Thelyss, Ambassador of the Bright Queen to the Dwendalian Empire, on his doorstep. But he should have expected it. After all, Essek had already prepared for this eventuality.

Reccer says: I love this glimpse of Verin, and Caleb being able to explain his relationship to Essek's brother.

What Makes a Home? by literalfuckinggarbage (3188,General) Warnings: Child abuse, abusive parenting Pairings: Beau & TJ

TJ turns up on Beau's doorstep after running away from Kamordah. Beau takes care of her little brother.

Reccer says: It's really lovely seeing an older Beau step up to being an older sister and the relationship between her and TJ is incredibly sweet. They have a rapport, they banter, and the love that's grown between them over the years is plain in each word between them. The ending is so wonderful too and it's a concept I really should rotate more.

cycles by justsleepwalkin (500,General) Warnings: Major Character Death Pairings: Caduceus Clay & Essek Thelyss

Caduceus and Essek take a walk among the falling leaves and have a talk about endings and beginnings.

Reccer says: Beautiful and atmospheric - a perfect moment between the two of them.

From the Mixed-Up Files of The J. Lavorre Catalogue Raisonné by renquise (2328,General) Warnings: None Pairings:

An art history report on the famous artist Jester Lavorre

Reccer says: I adore epistolary fics and this perfectly scratches that itch. Seeing what people might say about Jester and her friends centuries after they are gone is a treat!

a little birdie told me by Ink_Beneath_Her_Fingernails (1647,Not Rated) Warnings: None Pairings:

Kiri absently wonders if the Gentleman somehow had the foresight to keep her name out of their ears, and how he'd managed it for all these years. (Or: The mob boss Kiri we all deserve.)

Reccer says: Mob Boss Kiri - what's not to love?

[spottedenchants]

[thesmallgremlinofdeath]

I'm just bawling my eyes out on the goodbye scene with Kiri, my tears are just not stopping, it's...it's just this perfect mix of absolutely beautiful and terribly sad, I love her.

[mystmoon]

She’s a mighty big bird!

Got invited to a shoot last weekend and I'm in love with these shots of my Kiri cosplay, makes me want to put her back in regular rotation again, if only I could see in her XD

Minor Character Genfic Recs

This week, the rec list is featuring minor characters! From Kiri to Maya to Jourreal, we have fourteen fics that flesh out people who don't get much of a spotlight during the campaigns. Check them out below the cut, and if you like them, please kudos or comment!

center of attention by tusktooth (9257,Teen) Warnings: none apply Pairings: Veth & Nila, Veth & Keg

When the Mighty Nein travel back through the Shadycreek region, Veth is forced to confront the feeling of being painfully visible when she has to explain her past and her transformation to old friends.

Reccer says: I love Nila, and I think her talk to Veth here is very touching

broken not shattered by joyfulsongbird (3664,Teen) Warnings: None Pairings:

Cassandra, on succumbing to darkness.

Reccer says: A glorious post-canon story that takes something Matt mentioned in the CR1 wrap-up and runs with it in the most visceral way.

Especially the Lies by Operafloozy (7800,Teen) Warnings: None Pairings: Minor Beau/Yasha

A look into some of the interview sessions Beau has with Astrid and what is learned from them.

Reccer says: While the story is told from Beau's POV, it is very much an Astrid story and remains one of my favorite CR fanfics to date. It's well-characterized on all counts and includes marvelous worldbuilding.

Whatever You Choose To Be by A_Orbit (1338,General) Warnings: Pairings: Yussa Errenis & Wensforth

On Wensforth's journey with Yussa

Reccer says: It allows for Wensforth to have a lot of depth and background - and when fandom gives a minor characters a full background, it's one of my favorite things

Separate myself from me by wtgw (2031,Teen) Warnings: None Pairings: Fjord & Eadwulf Grieve, Past Blumentrio

What’s a living magical weapon without a wielder? In the Blooming Grove, Eadwulf Grieve tries to come to terms with making his own choices after 17 years, and Fjord comes to recognize the uncomfortable similarities between them.

Reccer says: It's a fantastic Eadwulf point of view

we take our turns on the altar by grayintogreen (5093,Teen) Warnings: None Pairings: Caduceus Clay & Cree

While in Aeor, two clerics on opposing sides find themselves in a sticky situation and Cree gains some perspective.

Reccer says: I liked it

ghost is a verb by mousecookie (1954,Teen) Warnings: None Pairings:

Jourrael investigates rumors that Lolth has a new champion and encounters the Crownkeepers.

Reccer says: This fic is absolutely everything anyone could want from a series of encounters between The Inevitable End and the Crownkeepers and I wish to all the gods it was canon.

I will be made a new creature, one bright day by PryingBlackbird (1619,Teen) Warnings: None Pairings:

A glimpse into the life of a lonely soul locked away in Vergesson Sanatorium.

Reccer says: If you like unreliable narrators and being kept in the dark initially until it all falls into place, this is the fic for you.

Looking Out of the Window by Beauteousmajesty (1382,General) Warnings: Major Character Death Pairings: Bren Aldric Ermendrud & Una Ermendrud

Una Ermendrud watches her son grow up as she works on her loom. From the babbling baby to the awkward teen, she is so very proud of him.

Reccer says: It's absolutely heartbreaking

don't be chosen- make the choice to choose by grayintogreen (3003,Teen) Warnings: None Pairings: Kingsley & Orly, background Kingsley/Marius

Kingsley ends up getting some accidental advice from Orly.

Reccer says: Orly is very intimidating to write, but I like this take on him!

Lay Your Bones by LadyOrpheus (4961,General) Warnings: None Pairings: Verin & Essek, Essek Thelyss/Caleb Widogast

Thinking only of justice and restoring his family's honor after Essek's betrayal, Verin Thelyss finds something he never expected, an Essek he never expected. A mission for justice turns into a race against time and a family finds their world upended.

Reccer says: It's very much a Verin-centric adventure fic that looks into what his thoughts would be on Essek's post-campaign state

Benediction by Sandtalon (53587,Teen) Warnings: None Pairings: Maya Agrupnin & Cerrit Agrupnin

Maya after the events of the Calamity

Reccer says: It's absolutely incredible and what Maya deserves

Shopping With the Baby Birb by Beserk (6399,Teen) Warnings: None Pairings: Kiri & Caleb

Back in Zadash, Caleb babysits Kiri for a bit. They go shopping!

Reccer says: It's the sweetest dang thing

Lens Interrogation with Verin Thelyss, PD 838. by Operafloozy (1801,Teen) Warnings: None Pairings: Essek Thelyss & Verin Thelyss

Essek disappears from Eiselcross in PD. 837. The next year, scrutiny on this disappearance leads the Lens to interrogate his brother.

Reccer says: A delightfully tense outsider POV
