surprise Yuletide reveal post (Critical Role: Aramán [Campaign 4])

[merryghoul]

I really wanted to do more of a reveals post but I can’t say anything more than “Fallen London’s TTRPG and Dimension 29 lead me to Critical Role actual plays,” “haven’t done Yuletide in years because burnout,” and “changed my original idea of ‘how Pincushion [an undead fox] was created’ because there were already two stories like that on AO3, so stitched together some bits from the Soldiers’ Table to create an Occtis story.” So here’s my first Yuletide story in a long time, a pinch hit for euryydice. (Maybe you saw this accidentally revealed because I know I was hit with the Yuletide reveals bug. If so, pretend this is new to you.)
