One popular theme is friendship. The Mighty Nein is all about the strong bonds between the characters, and fanfictions often explore how those friendships grow and endure through different challenges.
The fanfiction might focus on the world - building aspect. Since both Mighty Nein and Vox Machina exist in the same universe in the Critical Role world. The meeting could expand on the existing lore. Maybe they discover new places or secrets together. For instance, they could stumble upon an ancient ruin that neither group knew about before. This could introduce new magical items or threats that they have to face. It could also show how the two groups' different relationships with various factions in the world play out when they are together.
There's 'Mighty Nein: Bonds of Friendship'. This one focuses a lot on how the group's friendships develop over time. It's full of heartwarming moments and also some exciting battle scenes. The author does a great job of capturing the essence of each character.
Adventure is also common. Given the nature of the Mighty Nein's quests in the original series, fanfics usually involve them going on some sort of journey, whether it's through a dangerous dungeon or across a new land. For example, many fanfics will have them exploring uncharted territories filled with magical creatures and ancient secrets.
A possible plotline could be a joint quest to defeat a powerful and ancient evil that neither group could handle alone. This would force them to pool their resources and skills.
Percy from Vox Machina is often quite popular. His complex backstory, his skills with guns and his noble yet flawed personality make him stand out. In the fanfiction, his interactions with the members of The Mighty Nein can be really engaging, especially when it comes to discussions about technology and magic.
Sure. 'Of Sea and Sky' is a great one. It delves deep into the relationships between the Mighty Nein characters while on an ocean - based adventure. It has some really well - written character interactions.
One idea could be a joint quest where the Mighty Nein and Vox Machina have to team up to defeat a powerful, ancient evil that threatens both their worlds. Maybe it starts with some strange magical disturbances that draw the attention of both groups.
Another plot point could revolve around a common enemy. A powerful villain might emerge that neither group can defeat alone. So, they are forced to team up. This would require them to put aside their differences and work together. There could be moments of tension as they struggle to coordinate their strategies, but in the end, they learn from each other and become stronger as a combined force.
Grog from Vox Machina and Fjord from the Mighty Nein. Grog is this big, brawny warrior and Fjord is a half - orc who is more reserved and still exploring his powers. Grog could be a bit of a mentor figure to Fjord in terms of physical combat, while Fjord could teach Grog some things about strategy and using his strength in a more calculated way.
