    Summary

    “Ellia, it is a genuine pleasure.” He held his right hand out once more. She stared at the bandages, now slightly out of place by her pulling, and the slivers of exposed skin beneath: dark, purpling grey with a cracked-stone texture. Flashes of injuries and maladies skittered across her mind—nothing matched what she saw in him.

    “I don’t want to hurt you,” she said with an indicating nod.

    His smile turned wry. “Believe me, the damage there has already been done. But perhaps you’re right, and this will be better.” He swapped one hand for the other. A moment’s hesitation, then she accepted. His touch was warm. His skin more worn, more lived-in, than what she’d expected from a study-bound wizard. She wondered, dimly, what he felt in her hand. If the illusion would hold true under such direct connection, and what would happen if he realized who she truly was. But then his hand was gone and her wondering went with it. It didn’t matter. They wouldn’t be together long.

    A novelization of BG3, reframed as a romance between Gale and a resistant Durge with alternating POVs. Elements of concept Gale. More Alfira. More Tara. More reactivity to Durge actions. Puns.

    Summary

    “I don’t want you to die,” You say, voice weak and shaking. You hate how it sounds. “I would never forgive you.”
    There is a pause, like he’s taking you in.
    “I don’t need you to forgive me. I just need you to be alive.” He says. He says, so softly in the face of your rage, like he’s trying not to break your heart.
    His mind is set.

    Summary

    Malaena (a Dark Urge Storm Cleric) takes a couple of tumbles with Gale. Unfortunately not of the explicitly spicy variety- not yet- but flirting and pining abound.

    Karlach and Astarion are there too.

    Takes place after the Weave scene but before the Goblin Camp, because my Gale always falls fast and hard (heh).
