Rec for a story that'll disappear from AO3 in the next few days:
Silver in the Wood by

emilyenrose
Original m/m, 19.3k, forest folklore, creator chose not to use archive warnings
Summary: It was the middle of an autumn downpour when Tobias first met Henry Silver. Midsummer had come and gone, and the wood was quiet.
Why I love it: The setting and atmosphere are beautiful, I like the characters and their relationships (especially Mrs Silver), and the story has great angst, of the hurts-but-not-in-a-bad-way variety.

I'm caught up with Critical Role again :)
Ep 27:
Beautiful funeral for Molly.
0:34 Nott trying to make Caleb say that he cares about Fjord, Jester and Yasha, aw.
0:44 You could have mentioned that she was a horse xD
0:48 Yeah, killing him with lightning sounds great, awesome :)
2:11 such a great Caleb&Nott scene, with Caleb wanting to make sure he and Nott are on the same page, but Nott got very attached to their new team and their new life
2:20 Keg trying to apologize xD
Ophelia also seems interesting but I was only half paying attention

"New character who dis" I love Taliesin.
0:58 hug <3 Nila's joy at encountering another firbolg is wonderful.
1:02 yes we are all cultivating dead people for good tea, I love Caduceus Clay already. Grave cleric, wonderful, and I love his design.

3:39 Marisha to Liam "do you really like pink more than purple?", idk I found this side convo hilarious
3:58 Nila finding her son and mate was emotional, and then her pulling apart the bars of the cage for her son to fit through, yes. Sumalee was a great guest.

3:53 Shakästa healing everyone but Caleb because Caleb, who needs it the most, hid, is wonderful irony
3:59 Caleb is a team player now, and he kills Lorenzo :D That was some great teamwork in that fight.
4:07 Aww, Nott hugging Jester "case closed"
4:10 "People aren't good", heh. I like the deeds not people approach though.
4:14 Matt's face when Beau propositions Keg xD

Talks Machina: the fact that Liam gave Matt that Sam shirt is perfect.

3:30 Caleb telling Beau she is a good friend, progress :)

We finally have teambonding now, it took a while but now we get the payoff and I really enjoy it. Next episode I assume will be shopping, and then we'll see what they'll do next.
