Tara interrogating our Tavs about our intentions towards Gale and insinuating that we'll meet a terrible end if we ever hurt him and we're just sitting there thinking "I am receiving the Shovel Talk from a flying cat, what even is my life now."

I have no writing skills so I'm sending this concept out into the void.
I desperately need a slow burn Gale/Tav AU where Gale, still suffering from the orb or a similar affliction has Tara go out to find enchanted items.
Queue Tav: an apprentice enchanter, who as a hobby/practice enchants whatever is around. Personal nick nacks, cutlery, cheap iron rings they buy by the dozen from a local black smith since they're made from cast offs. These are not master works, they're just practice and can't be sold until she's licensed (idk if there's such laws in Faerun but it's my imagination so there are licenses and apprenticeships!)
But! The enchantments are A+ so Tara makes a plea that poor Mr. Dekarios needs these and they're just collecting dust sitting around.
So Tav agrees and starts sending Gale enchanted trinkets through the post/Tara, because of course he's locked in his tower and isolating like he mentions in game and is barely leaving/possibly agora phobic at this point.
Over time getting to know each other through one dinner fork and loose marble enchanted with misty step or some such at a time. Tav starts wanting to impress Gale and or make him laugh while he's locked in his depressing tower.
Since he's only responded through Tara or by letter they start to try to get any reaction out of him by enchanting the most obnoxious items (an entire barrel of fruit, a taxidermy rat, a box within a box within a box, a single shoe with holes, the world's ugliest knit doily, etc, etc) until he's desperately smitten and/or about to loose his mind and stroms out to confront Tav.
Queue meet hate/cute as Gale rails against the injustice of these ridiculous items and Tav is just delighted to know that Gale of Waterdeep blushes a marvelous shade of crimson when flustered.
Idk how Gale is cured in this prompt (beauty and the beast love cures all? Idk), maybe Mystra amused by the situation frees Gale from the orb after he accepts that not all magic is high and mighty, some of it is in the small things in life?
I need it so if anyone likes this concept and wants to run with it go for it!

An Endless List of In-Laws
Quick drabble about Rose's ridiculously huge family.
One thing that Gale wasn't quite prepared for when he proposed to one Rostislav Hylwood was the army of in-laws he was also about to marry into, and yet, he took it in his stride.
“Okay, go!”
“Your mother’s name is Nijala, she will be pleased that I put effort into saying her name properly, her favourite flowers are tulips, and she hates slouching and bad manners. Casimir is your half-brother, twenty. He likes fashion and will criticise my dress sense, and I shouldn’t take his offer to fix my outfit lest I end up in something else entirely. Najda is your half-sister, nineteen. She’s independent and passionate and I need to watch out for her elbows should I be near her when she speaks. Ivanka, seventeen, is your half-sister. She’s apprenticing at the local blacksmiths, which I should bring up to her, but not around your mother, who’s annoyed she’s not carrying on the family stone mason business--”
“-- You’re doing great!”
“-- thank you -- Jascha is your half-brother, fifteen. He works as a stablehand and doesn’t like direct eye contact. If he likes me, I’ll know. Luka is another half-brother, twelve, he likes climbing things and stealing, I need to watch my pockets around him. Lydia, half-sister, seven. She’ll mention her age, and I need to comment on how mature she is. Magda, the youngest, four, half-sister. She’ll try to climb on my lap and will scream if I don’t let her.”
“Just let her.”
“I will.”
“Step-father?”
“Casimiro.”
“Last name?”
“Aranov.”
“And you shouldn’t…?”
“Bring up dragonchess around him.”
“Because…?”
“He’ll challenge me to a game.”
“And…?”
“Get mad when he loses.”
“I can’t believe you remembered all of that.”
“Please, that’s nothing. I have your father’s side of the family committed to memory, the names, favourite gifts, and favourite pastimes of both your grandparents and step-grandparents, and a mental list of your aunts, uncles, cousins, and step-aunts, uncles, and cousins names and where they hail from. I know I can’t seat your Aunt Jenvig with your Step-Uncle Jakob, your cousin Helsig is lactose intolerant but will try to eat dairy anyway, and your Grandma Helena should not be referred to as anything other than Grandma Helena.”
“Impressive. Did I ever tell you that your knack for memory is weirdly arousing?” Rose purred.
“Oh you haven’t seen anything yet. Wait until we get to your first cousins twice removed,” Gale flirted in kind.
“Hm,” he hummed, “Can’t wait.” Then turning sombre: “Alright, do you think we’re ready?” he grabbed the ink pen.
Gale grabbed the wedding seating chart, matching his serious brow, “As we’ll ever be.”
