finding the right words.

a / n : i saw this text post by @anniemainiancs on here with astarion trying to practice ways to introduce himself towards gale's colleagues / fellow magic instructors. with gale overhearing him. so, i took to myself to write after doing work in healthcare instead napping last week and finished it today. hope you don't mind, me writing this. the two give me so many worms. not beta'ed in the slightest again .. full story is up on AO3 !

"Hello darling, I'm Astarion Dekarios." He starts but scrunches up his nose and shakes his head. "Ugh, too honeyed. That won't do." Sure, he wanted to charm them but not quite like that. They were not going to victims. "How about. Hello. A pleasure, I'm Mr. Astarion Dekarios. Okay, that's too formal."

Why was this difficult? It should be easy as he starts to rub his temples to ease the tension he feels. "Hello I'm Astarion .. Dekarios. Gale is my husband. Hells, I'm terrible at this." Astarion feels himself sulking at the idea, he rather not embarrassed himself or Gale if he slips up in front of those people.

"I wouldn't say that you're terrible my star." Blinking as he turns to see his husband right there.

Okay I'm a little obsessed with my Tav Celen, he's so fine and I can't stop taking pictures of him help

Is it just me or is every time you start a new save on Baldur's Gate it's different? Like you get a dialogue you never got before? Or like a whole ass thing where you're like HUH how long was THIS here??

Gale's personal goal after the brain is to cure Astarion's vampirism. Gale makes it his personal goal to rid Astarion of everything that Cazador left behind. He wants Astarion to have nothing left of him.

"If you were tolerable maybe I'd enjoy our walks together more."

"Maybe I should flirt with your projection, at least he has personality, you're like a wet rag!"

Blank bloodweave gifs for your imagination!! Let me know what you think they're saying here :)

Messy Gale Sketch

Pre Avernus Karlach doodle(?)

Snippet from my small bloodweave doodle page. The full is on my twitter - it's NSFW please be over 18 if you want to see it. I posted it a while ago so my art style changed a little oops. I posted it a while ago so if you sort through media tab it should pop up there. [The @ is spiiledPilk ]

When you ask Astarion to talk about your relationship and he replies

"Can we? I suppose we can"

It's so obvious to me that they way you phrased the question tickles him immensely. You're asking him *permission* to discuss your relationship, in a way where he can decline, and this is such a NOVEL CONCEPT to him.

You can see him smile a little, look up and away like /oh my God's, how cute. 'Can we', pdfdt, I shall grant you this like a king bestows a boon upon his people, ha! CAN WE/

And just that magnanimous "I SUPPOSE we caan~✨️✨️" as if he's trying to be casual about it but even just this little thing, this way of approaching him, this way that YOU speak to him means so much and really informs why he's catching feelings in the first place

Anytime Gale annoys Astarion by info dumping, Astarion just pulls him into a deep and lustful kiss instead of telling him to shut up. Which he could do, but the sight of Gale flustered and stammering for the next ten minutes is a win in Astarions book.

FIREBALL!!!! 🔥

I think this often goes under other moments in the Bloodweave Gale Epilogue. This genuinely was enough to fill my eyes with tears. I truly will Never shut up about Bloodweave. You can claw them from my cold dead carcass.

As much as I love cute married Bloodweave headcannon they would argue SO fucking much. It would drive the other companions nuts, just constantly fucking bickering and making out.

I made a discord Server for Bloodweave, it's adults only, and open to anyone who loves the ship tbh. I wanted a GC about them for a while, so feel free to join from this link!! : https://discord.gg/m4CHzmZ2
