[ID: The Magnus Archives fanart of Jon and Martin kissing in Jon's office. Jon sits at his desk, his fist is balled in Martin's shirt, and he is pulling him down for the kiss. There is a spilled mug of tea, and several papers fluttering to the ground by Martin's hand. There is a painting of Jonah Magnus on the wall behind Jon and Martin. He looks at the viewer with wide eyes. The office is cramped and messy, there are boxes and stacks of paper on the floor and shelves. There are small references to each of the 14 fears in the background. They are as follows: a coffin drawn on the chalkboard, a skull on the shelf on the left wall, a copy of The Bone Turner's Tale, a jar of ashes, and a spider on the shelf behind Jon, fog in the hopper windows near the ceiling, candles, a pair of antlers, a knife, and a clown doll on the shelf behind Martin, a surrealist painting of a door on a flat landscape, a tall painting of a ship on a stormy sea -both on the right wall-, and a cracked cabinet door revealing complete darkness on the left side of the room.

i heard you dweebs like the magnus archives and critical role (inspired by @cary-atherton-art)

Beau, The Archivist: She is talking into a recorder while reading from papers, she has a stylized eye floating in front of her forehead outlined in red and blue, more of them floating intently around her.

Caleb, The Desolation: He is staring blankly forward, a lighter lit in his hand, half of his face is melting like wax and his eyes yellow voids.

Nott, The Buried: She is almost completely submerged in a pool of water, just her eyes above the water

Caduceus, The End: He has one hand covering half of his face, showing dark veins through his hand and forearm, as well as spreading across his face.

Fjord: The Vast: He is wearing a red jacket with gold epaulettes, his shirt open to reveal a tattoo of a tentacle spiraling up towards his neck.

Jester, The Spiral: She has one hand on the edge of a teal door, gently pulling it open, her hand with too long fingers and all of her blue skin patterned with a pink spiral, here eyes bright orange filled with more spirals. Behind her are red hallways as well as skewed outlines of both the hallways and of her in red and blue.

my new favourite ship dynamic is “grumpy librarian realizes hes underestimated his painfully patient assistant, and they grow to accept, respect and love each other despite everything trying to keep them apart”

jon has light brown skin and dark hair pulled into a messy ponytail. he wears round glasses, earrings, and a green jumper over a button-up. he has on an ace flag pin and a smaller bi flag pin. martin is a redheaded man with fair skin, who wears large glasses and a loose red jumper. he has on a large rainbow pin as well as a trans flag pin.

martin is sitting at his desk, looking lovingly at jon and resting his cheek in his hand. jon is standing next to him, hand resting on his chin in contemplation. his eyes are a blank white, and a third eye has opened on his forehead. he is haloed by a number of other eyes, all of which are looking at him. 

Wanted to draw more, dig deeper into those feelings but my batteries are empty so that’ll have to do. I love those two so dearly, I hope they talk muuuuuuch much more. Please? 

___________

The first panel is a drawing of the Periapt of Wound Closure, a pendant in the shape of a ruby heart being held by two hands.

CALEB: “Sometimes, acts of good faith need to be rewarded. I wanted to give you something…”

Caleb is a human man with scruffy orange hair and blue eyes. He is looking up and slightly to the side.

CALEB: “Just a little bit of extra… protection.”

We see Caduceus, a firbolg man with long pink hair and a nose ring, in profile. He is smiling and looking down.

CADUCEUS: “Mister Caleb…”

A close-up of Caduceus’ eyes, which are a blueish-grey colour.

CADUCEUS: “Do you believe in fate? Do you believe we are driven by things greater than ourselves?”

a closeup of Caleb’s eyes. He looks as if he’s remembering something.

CALEB: “I don’t know”

a series of triangular panels. The first of flame and smoke rising into the air. The second of hands on the ground. The third of a blue eye, crying as the flames are reflected on its surface.

CALEB: “(I would like to think not.)”

A shot of Caduceus, holding tea and looking thoughtful.

CADUCEUS: “There are times that I think about the cruelties of the world and the things that have been put upon me and my family and I’d hate for that to be a plan.

"But there are times when, like today, I am very grateful for being in the right place at the right time.

"I think the world is shaping you into something important and I want to make sure that you get wherever you need to be.”

CALEB: “Well that’s a pretty big matzo ball…”

He hands Caduceus the periapt as it glows.

CALEB: “Uh, this is magical by the way…”

CADUCEUS: “Haha! I can tell!

"I promise I will continue to help you all. Even though we’re not the best of people, I think we’re still moving towards something worthwile.”

bro.. we are cryptids and in love bro....

Smoke break!

2) The first panel of the comic is Jon and Martin saying hello. They are both waving and look worse for wear. Martin is a broad, tall man with freckles and tossled hair. He wears a backpack, scarf, circle glasses, and jacket. He has a bandage on his face and is waving. Jon is a shorter skinnier man, with a buzz cut and a full beard and mustache. He is wearing a sweater and backpack, and has a bunch of scars. He is also waving, and his scarred hand has eyes on it. He says, “Hi Georgie, Melanie. It’s… good to see you?”

The next panel is Georgie and Melanie. Melanie is slightly shorter than Georgie, and is wearing the same outfit but with dark glasses. She has her hand on Georgie’s shoulder. Georgie has her dark hair up in a ponytail and is wearing a similar outfit to Melanie. “Oh my god-“ Georgie says, with a hand covering her mouth, laughing. Melanie says, “What? What is it??”
