Jester/Beauregard Lionett is a popular femslash pairing in the Critical Role fandom, Campaign 2.
Fandom
During one of the episodes of Talks Machina, Marisha Ray admitted that Beau had a crush on Jester. Later on, in canon, Beau confessed to her crush in a conversation with Nott.
Beaujester shippers love the chemistry between the characters. [1]
There's a shipping conflict between fans of Beaujester and fans of Beauyasha (see more: beauyasha vs beaujester)
Some Beaujester shippers gave up when it started to look like the cast would not be pursuing the ship as endgame[2][3] with one fan remarking:
Yall who're still watching, and some who still believe in beaujes longcon… ABSOLUTE LEGENDS. Couldn't be me bc I don't wanna get my hopes up only to be crushed but these people are so ffckin brave and I respect the hell out of them.
After the events of episode 109, in which Beau talked with Fjord about Jester, causing disappointment in some of the Beau/Jester shippers, some fans thought she was downplaying her own feelings as a way to support Fjord[4][5]

- Literature of Choice by CriticalQueer - A questioning Jester chooses lesbian erotica as the next smut novel she and Beauregard will share on their journey through Xhorhas. What could possibly go wrong?
- touch by zzzubat - Beau fucks up one (1) time and suddenly she's drowning in all this affection she doesn't know what to do with and Jester isn't making it any better. Beau's a gay mess, Jester is very touchy-feely, and Mollymauk cannot stop laughing.
- it's only a play by celaenos - Jester presses her forehead against Beau’s, her face serious. “We can’t secretly fall in love with each other, okay?” (Or, Jester and Beau, fake dating and definitely secretly falling in love).
- A Winter's Ball by MithrilWren - Allura invites the Mighty Nein to attend a Winter's Crest celebration in Tal'Dorei as a thank-you for their help in rescuing Yussa. Beau's never been to another continent, much less a place like Whitestone, but she's determined to have a bad time, just on principle. She doesn't succeed.

- ^ My beaujester heart:
- ^ I really think Beau is super downplaying her feelings towards Jester. Beau's words are carefully thought out and geared towards who she is with at the time. Her talk with Fjord is about his feelings, not hers. She isn't going to introduce herself as a Romantic opponent. With her stellar self esteem, ha, she probably doesn't even consider herself an option for Jester. But her actions. Telling Artagan she'll kill him, after all of that? He takes her at least semi-seriously. "Yeah, I believe you." - anon on tumblr, Archived version
- ^ Of course she said it wasn’t anything serious. Most people would in that situation, and Beau definitely would. - (post on tumblr, Archived version)
