Fjord/Caduceus is a popular slash ship in Critical Role Campaign 2, focusing on characters portrayed by Travis Willingham and Taliesin Jaffe

Fandom

When Fjord was struggling with his pact with Ukutoa, Caduceus Clay started paying attention to him and mentoring him, noticing that Fjord needed some spiritual guidance. And after Fjord became a paladin of Wildmother, that relationship deepened on the show. Fans saw the shipping potential and Fjord/Caduceus is now (possibly) the biggest slash ship for either of the characters.

After Caduceus Clay was confirmed in canon to be Asexual and aromantic, some fans felt that it was no longer appropriate to slash the two characters or that only a platonic interpretation should be taken in fanworks.

Fanfics

  • your dust from mine by MithrilWren - Fjord was born to more than a servant’s life, but doesn’t know it. Prince Caduceus is betrothed to a man, but the wrong one. A tale of mistaken identities, fairytale foolery, and the power of true love’s kiss.
  • tie your heart at night to mine, love by galacticdrift - Caduceus doesn't have a bedroom in the Xorhaus. It wasn't a problem, before.
  • First to Open Your Mouth by walkalittleline - “Your hair really is nice,” Caduceus murmurs. Fjord chuckles, trying to ignore the warmth that prickles over the back of his neck at the compliment. “Thank you,” he replies. “I do think yours is better, though.” Caduceus hums again. “I like it longer like you have it now,” he says. His voice is slow and deep, words running together like molasses. “It looks soft. Is it soft?”
  • through the trance by starstrung - Once he’s communed with the Wildmother, Fjord keeps wanting to do it again.
  • Helping Hand by Anonymous - Fjord splashes his face with the icy-cold water, washing away the drying sweat as he does the mental calculations. They're almost to Trostenwald. They'll spend a few days there and that should be enough. He can get a single room for himself, lock himself in there, and get through this. He will get through this.
  • Feed Me Your Best Line by Ericito - A few different people have paid Fjord compliments in his life, and most of them have been about his face, or maybe his body. Caduceus's compliments aren't about that. Fjord can't decide whether or not he wants them to be.
