WIP Weekend

Thanks for the tag @nivasichakano (don't worry, that Petras fic will happen...)

Coming soon: the truth is uncovered about Mortal Plane Virgin Gale...

_____

Since Gale neglected to make dinner last night, he shuffled out of his tent soon after waking. Hopefully breakfast would ease any awkwardness between the group.

He was shocked to find everyone already up and multiple eyes glared at him as he stepped out. Taverne's eyes were red and puffy, and as soon as she saw Gale she started crying.

“The hells is wrong with you, mate?” Karlach yelled.

“What?” Gale answered bewildered.

“It's like you've never been in a relationship before,” sniped Shadowheart.

“Now hold on-”

“I thought we had something! And you throw yourself at him?!” Taverne sobbed and pointed at Astarion.

“I can't help it that I'm gorgeous, darling.” Astarion examined his nails.

“Astarion!”

Gale paled. “I apologize if there was any misinterpretation-”

“How could you?” Taverne cried.

“I swear I didn't know! With Mystra-”

“Mystra this, Mystra that. What about before her, huh?” Karlach growled.

Gale paused a beat too long, his throat drying out instead of responding right away. They all stared at him wide-eyed. Even Taverne stopped weeping.

“Have you never been in a relationship outside of Mystra?” Lae’zel asked.

“Ha, uh, what a question.”

“Gale…have you ever been with anyone besides Mystra?” Astarion raised one eyebrow as he asked.

“Of course I have!” he protested weakly.

They all gawked at him before erupting at the same time.

“That makes sense-”

“Oh my gods-”

“Well that explains-”

“I can't believe-”

“A virgin? How-”

“Now there's no shame-”

“Please!” Gale cried loud enough to stop everyone else. “Yes! I've only had relations in the weave! Mystra never deigned to conduct mortal pleasures in Faerûn. Happy?!” He marched back into his tent and slapped the flap out of his way. Damn the breakfast and damn them!

It's this time of the year again, when I try to tell tumblr that I haven't forgotten it. It's this slightly awkward moment when you meet your long-time-besti again and have to make up a story why you haven't even written a holiday card. I am sorry, tumblr, I'll do better this time- maybe.

Anyway, bloodweave is the drumbeat of my heart at the moment, especially the slow, not really sexy kind that is about finding your home in another person. This picture started out as an attempt to create fanart for the fic "aubade" which has a wonderful scene of Gale taking care of Astarion, and is very dear to me. The thumbnails wanted something else, so it became ritual-after-care instead.

“I am enjoying our walks together—aren’t you, Gale?”

“Umm… Sure. In silence.”

Hello! Here’s an illustration I created inspired by screenshots from my Gale Origin run. 🥺✨💜

(I took so many screenshots during my playthrough, haha. I figured it was about time I paid them some homage!)

Après tous les screenshots que j'ai fait durant ma partie de Gale origin ,il fallait bien que je leurs rendent hommage 🥺✨💜
