Caleb/Molly, also known as Widomauk is a popular slash ship in Critical Role's campaign 2, focusing on the relationship between Mollymauk Tealeaf (played by Taliesin Jaffe) and Caleb Widogast (played by Liam O'Brien).
Fandom
Early in the campaign, Molly was portrayed as a fabulous, flamboyant and very sexual, while Caleb was more closed of and mistrustful. One of the defining canon scenes between the two was a moment when Molly kissed Caleb on the forehead.
After episode 111 of campaign 2 and episode 147 of Talks Machina, Widomauk shippers got confirmation that Molly was alive (in one form or another) and that Caleb is bisexual or pansexual (as confirmed by Liam O'Brien, who discussed his character's attraction to male characters Essek amongst them). Shippers reacted very enthusiastically to the implications that their ship could've been canon[1][2].
In fanworks, Molly is usually the one pursuing the relationship with Caleb more openly.

- the mist upon the hill by BucketofWater - Soulmate AU - Caleb is a mottled canvas of thin, white lacerations so many that Nott can hardly begin to count them all, she wouldn’t even know where to begin. Or, the soulmate au where some soulmates share injuries and Caleb is very tired and very sore.
- The Descriptivist's Approach by CrunchyWrites - Modern AU - Professor Caleb Widogast has a problem, and that problem is the following: for the last several months a lavender-skinned tiefling has been loitering in the yard beneath his office window, spinning fire and doing stretches and generally being very, very distracting.
- Five Soda Maximum by chaya - High School AU - Someone asked for: High school AU with Molly and Caleb, each wishing they had the guts to ask the other to prom.
- 5 times Molly flirted with Caleb (in infernal) by Fuckdarcy - 5 Things - Mollymauk knows Caleb can speak infernal, and he's going to flirt with Caleb until he admits it. It's a great plan. (Shut up Yasha.)
- Twine by CrunchyWrites - Slow Burn Modern AU - Demon summoning, even for witches, is a careful, intentional process. It needs the right ingredients, the right sigils, and the right intent. It doesn’t happen by accident. It especially doesn’t happen by accident when you’re Caleb Widogast, who never does anything without double-checking every spell component first. Except, of course, the time that it does.
- What The Water Gave Me by fiach_dubh - A completely self-indulgent pirate au from someone who knows a lot about pirates but nothing about boats. When Captain Mollymauk Tealeaf, terror of the seas, finds a captured Caleb Widogast, Wizard, in the brig of a ship he raids, things change for him. Drastically.
