#prompted by fandom discourse iceberg passing about this

[notatzimisce]

I haven't played BG3 but are the characters actually textually bisexual, or are they, like, playersexual? Are any of them at all portrayed expressing this interest outside of you, or is it more DA2-esque "we don't want to lock the player out of dating anyone they want" being taken as "everyone is canon bi!!"?

Every Moment (Ch. 2) https://archiveofourown.org/works/23153275/chapters/55699822#workskin

F/M, Heero Yuy/Reader

Romance, Drama, Angst, Lemon, Lime, Violence, Reader Insert

You really didn’t want to go on a mission with Heero Yuy. In your opinion, he was a robot, an iceberg, and as cold as the North Pole. And you really hated the fact that people started spreading rumors about you. Now, you have two weeks to get to know him better, get comfortable with the idea of playing his wife, and keep from getting into a catfight with Wufei’s secretary (who has quite a crush on Mister Yuy herself). You thought you would be able to handle the mission, but a couple of alcohol influenced kisses really send your world spinning. And it would only get worse during the mission… And really… your careless actions do have very big consequences.

Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Reader, OC - Character

Family, Humor, Daddy Heero

You took another deep breath and pushed away from the house, starting on your track across the lawn. You had not even made it halfway across the grass when an unexpected voice made you jump in fright.

“Going somewhere?”

It’s not easy being the daughter of an ex-Gundam pilot.

F/M, Duo/Reader

Duo Maxwell, Reader

Romance, Fluff, a bit of angst, Hurt/Comfort, Reader Insert

He would never lie to you about his feelings. Hide them, yes. But if he told you he was okay, you had no choice but to believe him. But even so…

“I can’t help but be worried.”

Forgive and Forget (Ch. 5) https://archiveofourown.org/works/18997162/chapters/55878703

F/M, Duo Maxwell/Reader, Wufei Chang/OC - Relationship

Duo Maxwell, Heero Yuy, Chang Wufei, Sally Po, OC - Character

Romance, Drama, Angst, Violence, Lemon, Reader-Insert

You’d infiltrate Preventer and expose that fact that it employed and protected terrorists. But that mission proves to be quite a challenge, all information regarding personnel carefully guarded. And the challenge becomes even greater when you meet Special Agent Duo Maxwell. He is pretty much the man of your dreams, all devilish charm, good looks, and bravado. And he kisses like the Devil. You are swept under and recklessly pursue and affair with him. But there is still your double agenda, and that is bound to make everything come crashing down around you. Especially when you find out that Duo is not exactly the man he said he was…

Thomas Wolfe had said, "You can't go back home to your family, back home to your childhood, back home to romantic love, back home to a young man's dreams of glory and of fame."

Of course, he had also said quite a bit more after that. Treize Khushrenada felt that was enough to express adequately the absolute truth of things -- it really was impossible to go home again because time passed and everything changed. Nothing was ever as it was, and it had been so long since he'd had the opportunity to visit his mother that everything was different. The gas store on the corner had turned into a coffee shop. The local grocer's had disappeared altogether, leaving behind a parking lot for a chain store and just a touch of melancholy mixed in with Treize’s sense of nostalgia.
