⋆ INTRO ⋆

Hello! I am Salem (they/them)!! I am 18 and I will be posting NSFW stuff as well as just normal fluff, whatever I feel like!

I will be going to college this upcoming year, so I won't be as busy on here, but I'd like to make writing a habit considering I've gotten a new keyboard and it sounds lovely to type hehe

For right now, I will only be writing for Baldur's gate! My favorite characters are Minthara and Shadowheart, so there may be more independent stories with them.

I would like to receive prompts/asks as it gives me encouragement and creativity to write! I don't expect them as soon as I start posting because I understand it takes a little bit to gain an audience.

I had fics on ao3 go for 1k hits each so i believe this platform will be open to reading my creations as well!

Please be patient while I figure out this platform! it's my first time using this!

❆ How The BG3 Companions React To A Snowball Fight ❆

This is my first post on here!! I have been on ao3 for a long while but I decided tumblr might be a more open and creative space! (I will be making an intro/masterlist post after this uploads!!)

Characters :

Shadowheart, Astarion, Gale, Minthara, and Karlach

Shadowheart :

The first snow of Baldur’s Gate had fallen. Pathways and roofs covered in white sparkles. You had been walking with Shadowheart as you traveled down the snowy paths. An idea had sprung into your head. Using sleight of hand, you secretly grabbed a handful of snow. Turns out, Shadowheart had also done the same, yet she didn’t waste time to throw it. A ball of cold and wet snow soaked the back of your neck, making you cringe. “Hey!” You had laughed, throwing your ball at the cleric. She didn’t have enough time to dodge and the ball hit her square in the chest. Her face lit up with laughter as she playfully glared at you. “You’ll know better than to throw that at me next time.” She poked your cheek, affectionately looking at you. 

Astarion : 

You watched out the window of the tavern at the blankets of snow that covered the ground. You propped her head on your hand, sighing in boredom. Astarion happened to walk out there, grimacing. Suddenly, an idea popped into your head. Getting up, you snuck outside and crouched behind a bush, gathering snow in your hand. The moment you looked back up, he was gone. Then, you feel a cold thud against your shoulder, snowflakes exploding into your face. You shot up and glared around, finding Astarion looking smug behind you. “Thought you could best me, love?” He grinned, fangs poking out. He had bested you this time, but you had still thrown the snowball you had in your hand at him. For the rest of the evening, Astarion and you went back and forth, laughing like little kids. 

Or;

You and him team up and throw a bunch of snowballs at Gale. 

Lae’zel : 

Camp had been extremely boring. You sat at the fire, heating your hands against the coldness of the air. Snowflakes slowly fell from the gloomy clouds as you shivered, pulling your blanket closer. You had glanced at Lae’zel, seeing her trembling slightly, but she had a stern look on her face. She didn’t let the cold get to her, seemingly trying to ignore it. You had come up with a little plan, glancing at a pile of snow just a few feet away. Turns out, she had been observing your movements. “If you dare to throw those disgusting white particles at me, you will wish you hadn’t” She growled, glaring at you and stopping you in your tracks. You froze, giggling nervously. “I wasn’t thinking about it.” You muttered, sighing in defeat. One day you would get her. 

Gale : 

Twisting the dagger in your hand, you sighed with boredom. The snow had set your companions back from travel, keeping you from reaching the lower city of Baldur’s Gate. As you watch the snow fall, a cheeky grin curls on your lips. You glanced over at your favorite companion, Gale, and noticed he was tending to his books. Slyly, you walked out of the tavern, picking up a handful of snow. You turned slowly to still find Gale, unknowingly deciding his fate. With a flick of the wrist, you threw the snowball at him, hitting him in the face. He sputtered, looking appalled. “Wha- Why did you-” He wiped the coldness off his face. He turned his hands, creating a spell. With his own flick of the wrist, he throws a magic snowball at you, being made with particles of sparkles. You coughed as it hit you square in the face, blinking away the glitter. You both started laughing. “Now I suggest you calm yourself, we can find something for you to do soon to cure your boredom.” He smiled, raising his hand in defeat. 

Minthara : 

No. Just don’t do it. She will end you. Would cast Hold Person even before you try. “You know better.” 

Karlach : 

She gathers the whole camp to a snowball fight. She sides with you and Shadowheart while Gale, Astarion, and Lae’zel (apprehensively) are on the other team. She makes sure you watch her as she throws the snowballs as hard as she can. She can't really hold them for long anyways, they melt in her hands very fast. But it is still funny to see her practically throwing water at your campmates. The other team complains about Karlach being OP, but you just laugh at them and call them babies. By the end, the opposing team is soaked while you, Karlach, and Shadowheart are totally dry. She picks you and Shadowheart up and twirls around in victory.
