Fix-it AU

one comment made me think what would happen if Astarion brought my Durge to Cazaldor before the main story.

Doing my Durge play through and omg I didn’t know Alfira could be in your camp! She’s so cute I love her!

Update:

WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK

[trashcatsnark]

feel like every laundry night at the tadfools camp just becomes a game of who's black shirt is this and the only thing anyone can confidently say is it's not Gale's

Karlach: What you got there, soldier?

Durge: *Writing in a journal.* I'm jotting down notes about all our various strengths. I'm hoping it will help us create more cohesive teams for scouting and fighting.

Astarion: Did you mention my hair?

Karlach: That's not a half bad idea. What'd you say about me?

Durge: Haven't gotten to your notes yet. I'm working on Lae'zel.

Astarion: Ahem! Did you mention my hair?

Durge: *To Karlach.* What would you say are some of Lae'zel's best qualities?

Shadowheart: Her absence.

Lae'zel: I'm right here, kainyank!

Shadowheart: To my everlasting dismay.

Lae'zel: Your words are uninspired and trite. Much like the pale one's hair.

Astarion: Do speak up, Lae'zel. It's difficult to hear the opinion of an asshole when it's muffled because you're sitting down.

Durge: *To Karlach.* So far I've ascertained that our group's most prominent strengths are unrelenting cattiness and spite.

Karlach: Doesn't bode well for cohesiveness...

Sweet

I've shown this scene before, but I love the way he smiles at this moment 🥰💕

I feel like the playable companion thing in BG3 was kind of a wasteful gimmick whose writing energy could have been better spent on deepening each companion's connection with Tav/Durge and each other platonically AND romantically (less so). I love BG3 but I think it's sorely lacking that found family thing I love in RPGs.

Something real

Evolution of my Durge!Tav and Astarion's relationship. They're so in love, and I'm in love with them being in love...

If Greygold was a companion, what would be the best way to initiate a romance with them? Would they go for the “L” word early or an Act or two later?

The "L" word was lube, right? Right? Else showering Durge/Tav with kisses Gomez-Addams-Style is the alternative.

Maybe the Nat 20 romance isn't the best way for Tav/Durge, but it sure is for Greygold. You just know Greygold scared that Dream Guardian away the first time and has been low-key obsessed with that armor since

May I ask for some details about your Tav? What do you mean by hasnt really lived as a tiefling before? Like literally has never seen another tiefling? Seems like being abducted by the mindflayers introduced major life changes to your Tav

I'm sorry this took so long to answer, but I ended up doing a whole bunch of art to answer this!

Ember has a really extensive backstory that's kind of long, but the short version of it is: she was caught in the crossfire of a deal her parents made with a devil. They couldn't have a child of their own because her mother was too severely ill, so they made the deal in the hopes of returning her health and along with it the ability to bear children. Unfortunately devil deals being what they are, they ended up with Ember who the devil stole from her birth parents.

Her mom was a high elf and her dad a half-elf, and her mom's side of the family were quite vocally anti-Tiefling. Because of her mother's health problems, however, they couldn't just sever contact with her parents because they relied on their money to cover the cost of healers, expensive potion ingredients and the like. They couldn't be trusted not to be a threat to Ember though, so the decision was made to disguise her as their biological daughter throughout her childhood.

Here's an age chart!

As a result, Ember didn't even know she was a Tiefling until she was around 4 or 5, when she began to present as a sorcerer and accidentally undid the disguise spell (she ends up a bard thanks to her mom, but her control of magic comes from sorcery).

Before the events of the game, the most time she ever spent as a Tiefling was when she was 13- when her mom died and her dad disappeared, the disguise spell having relied on her mum's magic. She went through hell for a while after that and as soon as she could learn how to cast the spell herself, she jumped at the chance and went back to living as her old half-elf self. So when she gets taken by the Nautiloid, it's her being forced to actually live as her real self and as a Tiefling for the first time. As a result she doesn't have great control over her tail, because she's just straight up not used to having one.

She also spends a lot of Act 1 jumpscaring herself whenever she walks by a mirror lmao.

I do plan to do some comics that are set earlier in the game at some point, and those ones will explore more of her backstory. What I've done so far has just happened to be set in Act 3, after she's already sorted a lot of her shit out. I just have no idea when that'll actually be!
