Absolutely Peachy
Pairing: Gale x f!Tav
Summary: Tav and Gale's conversation after Elminster's visit goes great. Slight angst but it ends cute imo.
A/N: First post breaking my very long writing hiatus to write about Gale because there aren't enough fics. Let me know if you'd like more one shots cause I think the world needs more Gale ( ´ ▿ ` ) - Sin
Tumblr media
There was nothing in this world that could’ve prepared Tav for the surprise encounter with Elminster. She was hoping that she could meet the esteemed wizard under happier circumstances, perhaps when this damned tadpole was out from between her eyes, attempting to command the helm that is her brain. 
The wise old man was jolly at first, introducing himself to the rest of the group, reprimanding Gale for his lack of decorum and grace. Tav thought nothing of it, inviting the elder to their camp, despite Gale’s scowl, awaiting for Elminster’s true reason for appearing before them in the shadow lands.
However, after the food and wine, Elminster’s visage seemed less friendly, less warm. His words were cold, concise, and fatal. Gale was to gain Mystra’s forgiveness on one condition - he was to essentially explode, destroying the curse within him and everything in a large surrounding area. It could rid them of the Absolute, of course. It could bring death to a lot of people if he decided to do this in or near Baldur’s Gate. Usually, this would be a decision that the group would push past, finding the cure for the tadpoles being their priority as the clock was ticking on them becoming mindflayers. However, this revelation had Tav’s heart sinking to the ground below her. 
Tav had become particularly close to Gale, finding her feeling solidified after spending time with him in between camping and the battlefield. A complete accident on her part. There was something charming about the man’s rants, how his eyes lit up explaining the Weave, talking about his cat and how he would spend his days rummaging through the literature that covered the walls of his tower in Waterdeep. Tav never intended to fall for Gale, yet here she was. 
It was clear as day what her thoughts on the matter were, as Gale had asked if everything was alright once Elminster and everyone else had retired to their respective tents and bedrolls. Tav was beside herself, “Am I alright? Absolutely peachy Gale.” Gale’s eyes held a hint of sadness as she continued. “I’m definitely alright. I’m wonderful knowing that Mystra herself has offered you forgiveness but only under the guise of the afterlife,” she spat. “Tav. I understand your frustration. Trust me, I too am frustrated with Mystra. But I can no longer satiate the hunger of the Orb that rests inside of me. There is nothing that I can do. This is my fate,” he explained, his hand twitching, as if involuntarily reaching out for her hand but stopping himself because she’s upset. He can only assume that his touch would only lead to more anger and hurt. If only he knew how much Tav yearned for his touch, how much she would fantasize it under the stars, sometimes without her knowing how she got to that topic of thinking.
“Since when have we ever listened to fate?” Tav asked, her gaze off towards the right where the water seemed to stand still and the only sound accompanying them was the soft crackle of the makeshift fire off towards the center of camp. “We have tadpoles that threaten our very existence. Every hour that passes, we teeter on the brink of becoming mind flayers. How long have we traveled together and not a single tentacle has sprouted?” she asked. Tav was breathing heavy, the conversation weighing on her physically. She couldn’t comprehend why he was giving in to this demand - his life was on the line and would he so easily throw it away? However, in that instance, Tav realized that this is coming from a selfish place. In this moment, Tav realized that the reason she was so uncharacteristically upset about Gale throwing his life away for the sake of Mystra’s forgiveness and to satiate the Orb maintaining its nest in his chest is because she has grown to love the wizard of Waterdeep. 
Perhaps her eyes had given Gale indication that she had realized something, as he asked “Tav, what’s-“ “Do not ask me what is wrong Gale. I fear I realized something a bit too late. I do not wish to talk about it right now…it isn’t appropriate.” “Is it about me?” He intercepted. 
Tav stumbled and said nothing. Her gaze was now on the dirt ground, her heart pounding out of her rib cage. She was silent for a beat, but Gale was patient. If she was willing to speak, he was more than willing to listen - it would be ironic if she listened to his rambling and he couldn’t do the same. Tav, despite just saying that she didn’t wish to speak on the matter, could not stop herself.
“I’m acting out of emotion rather than logic, Gale,” Tav started. Her eyes slowly made her way up to his own brown ones, making this conversation harder. She could feel her heart changing rhythm upon meeting his gaze, how her body yearned to be held in his embrace in this moment, how she craved a chaste kiss. 
Gale seemed to put two and two together, or rather, what he thought was two and two. 
“I know this seems very obscene and I may never be granted forgiveness. Trust me, I don’t wish to die. But Mystra wants to rid the world of the Absolute. My demise might very well be the only thing that could stop-“
“I love you.” 
Gale was taken aback and fell silent, completely off guard by the three sweet words he would often dream of hearing from Tav’s lips. Perhaps he had imagined it? He dared ask, hoping his imagination, or the amalgamation of his heart beating so thunderously in his chest wouldn’t disrupt the orb.
“Pardon?” Gale asked, his eyebrows furrowed as he took a step toward her. “I love you Gale. I don’t want you to succumb to that entitled goddess for my own selfish reasons,” Tav started, unable to stop her words from coming out. If not now, she felt, when? Who knew when Gale would just decide to commit to Mystra’s possible false promises. 
“There is always another way. We’ve constantly found alternatives to problems. Please…don’t go through with this. Do you not wish to live?” the appointed leader of the group asked the man before her. She could feel the warm accumulation of tears threatening to pour over the edge of her tear ducts, the shakiness of her breath not helping her. 
Gale was speechless. He didn’t know what to do. He always painted this picture of how he wanted to profess his love to Tav - a beautiful sunset in Waterdeep whilst both of them spent the hours in his tower, two glasses of wine served out for them and Tara, his cat in his company, along with the countless books he seems to have. The piano would play songs from their travels to incite conversation of nostalgia, how they felt in those moments, laughing about their perilous travels. And when the sun hit the golden hour, the sky would be adorned with pink, orange and purple clouds, he would place his forehead on hers, his gaze focused on her soft lips and utter…
“I love you.” 
But they were here, in this camp, the conditions of his profession of love not met. Perhaps this was how it was supposed to be because he wouldn’t make it back to Waterdeep. Perhaps he won't live past a couple nights from now. 
“Gale…Say something,” Tav said, her voice cracking, two tears escaping their captivity, trailing down her cheeks. Gale couldn’t think of any words. Instead he chose to react, slowly closing the space between them. His hands made their way up to her cheeks, softly wiping away the stray tears. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He was torn. He very badly wanted to rid himself of the Orb and obtain Mystra’s forgiveness, but on the other, he had Tav, who had seemingly loved him unconditionally. None of his magic was necessary to woo her. Not his history of being a prodigy of magic, not his mastery of spells, not his conduction of the weave. Just him. 
Gale couldn’t help but close the space between himself and Tav, placing a soft kiss upon her lips. In this moment, he forgot all about Mystra and her empty promises, the orb, all of it. All that occupied his mind was Tav and how soft her lips felt against his own. He pulled away, staying close.
“I love you too.”

Tumblr media
Hello!
Sorry I didn’t see this sooner lol, but yeah, I do! Although I think it would be a little more difficult because I feel like you can go really ooc with those end game characters, I’m very willing to try!!
I’m pretty open to anything! Thanks for asking!!

Hello, I hope you’re having a fantastic day today :) please could I request headcanons of Astarion, Gale and Halsin having a crush on Tav/Reader who is shy and insecure 💙💙
Shy-Bg3
Tumblr media
Hello! Thank you so much for the request, and I hope you’re having a great day too!!
Before reading: Gn!reader, shy + insecure reader, Astarion x reader, Halsin x reader, Gale x reader
Also sorry for the wait, I’ve been increasingly busy!!
Astarion:
Tumblr media
At first, he finds you almost pathetic
Perhaps it’s his way of not seeing himself within you, knowing he used to be just as fearful and timid
He feels a strong duty to protect you the closer you get to him
At first, he uses you as merely a flesh shield lmao
We all know the story, he uses you for protection, although meek you were always considered a stronger type
And his one rule was to not fall for you: that was his number one rule
But of course that all goes to shit pretty quickly
On the topic of insecurities, he knows all too well the feelings you feel
It’s honestly a plus, having someone that just knows
He’s so stupidly in love with you, for a moment he thinks he’s going mad
He’s never met someone as reserved and soft-spoken as you, he thinks it’s great company
After all, opposites attract, right?
Gale:
Tumblr media
Like Astarion, he actually is comforted by your shy and quiet nature
He’d much rather stay home in his tower at Waterdeep, away from society
For that is how he lived for quite some time
I’d say Gale is also rather reserved, only opening up to those he trusts
And it just so happens, he learned to trust you more than anyone
Ever since he told you about the orb that was launched into his chest, the way you insisted upon finding another way to save him
It sent his heart to the skies, I stg
Your shy personality is endearing to him, because if you ever need him to speak up for anything he is so willing
Also, in those moments where you have to interact with someone unknown or unfamiliar, he always offers his hand as comfort
Ugh I love that stupid wizard
Halsin:
Tumblr media
I don’t think anyone will get mad at me if I say out of these three
Halsin is the best in the situation
Halsin is the best in most situations let’s be real
He’s the most calm and soothing when it comes to your personality
If you ever ever need to be taken somewhere else, if you’re ever too nervous to be around people
He simply excuses you and him both from whatever conversation or interaction is going on
Something that seems so difficult for you, is so easy for him
And he gladly does it each time
Halsin has a very keen eye, he knows every move you make, every fight of your fingers, every worried flutter of your eyes
He knows when and where to comfort every time
In terms of your insecurity, he’s also extremely helpful on that
He always knows just what to say
The perfect man fr
Tumblr media
Thank you for reading!

sorry idk if ur okay with this but if I can could I request Shadowheart and Astarion with an autistic so? :))
Hello!!
I actually am happy you asked this (and don’t worry you did nothing wrong lmao) but I do want to use this as an opportunity to bring this up.
I’m horribly sorry I cannot write this for you. I am not autistic, therefore I feel I would never be able to properly write and/or do justice to an ask like this one.
Once again, I’m so, so sorry. If you have anything else you would like to request, please do so. I really hope you understand!

I have a fun idea! How do you think Astarion would be with a actor/theatre nerd tav (gender neutral) who participates in plays/musicals when not adventuring? I'm not sure if musical theatre would've existed in medieval times, but let's say they do, for the sake of fun :3 I'd love to see what you come up with! Thanks! 💕
The Arts-Bg3
Tumblr media
The way I literally love this request what. Also I feel the theatre thrives in times like this, and by musical theater I’m sure it was more operatic. But plays? I’m their prime omg!
Before reading: gn! Reader, Astarion x reader
Astarion:
Tumblr media
I am a FIRM believer that Astarion has a big appreciation for the arts
He is already full of theatrics himself, before he was wrongly taken by Cazador, I’m sure he enjoyed his fair share of theater
Although I think he’d be more into poetry or portrait painting, he has respect for those who do musical and theatrical work
After your long and dangerous adventure is over, what better way to spend time with you than a visit to the theater?
It’s indoors, artificially lit,
Simply put its away from the sun, so it’s an activity you both can enjoy throughly without any sort of threat
It’s even better when you are the one who participates
My guy is front and center every show night
He is totally the kind of guy who whispers in your ear, “You know, I thought you were the only one who really did good.”
If you know one thing about people in theater, it’s that the gossip is REAL and EVERYWHERE
So please let him talk smack about people and vice versa 🙏🏻
While I don’t think Astarion would ever really join you or participate in the theater, he’s definitely coming to all of your shows!
Tumblr media
Thanks for reading!!

hi can I request Shadowheart and Astarion x a reader/Tav who is just like has the most puppy like personality ever. like they're just so sweet and follow them everywhere.
Kindhearted-BG3
Tumblr media
Hiii!! I’m getting so many requests it’s making me so happy! Please keep them coming, y’all!!
Before reading: gn reader, Shadowheart x reader, Astarion x reader
Shadowheart:
Tumblr media
She finds you intriguing at first, such a kind soul who came and saved her from her fate on that damned ship
She thinks of you as a gift from Shar at first, but why would the Dark Lady send such…an angel?
She distances herself at first, unsure if you had an ulterior move with your supposed kindness
Then, as if to her pleasure, that is just how you are
You constantly confuse her, how can you just do that??
Being kind to a stranger?? What if they don’t mean well? What if they pickpocket you??
But you insist upon helping everyone unless you’re proven otherwise
She slowly sees herself be influenced by you, much to her dismay
You’re like a glowing light within her dark heart, and after a while
She gets used to your light
Astarion:
Tumblr media
Like Shadowheart, he is very cautious at first
We all know the story, at first he sees your personality and good nature as the perfect target
How easy it must be to take advantage of you!
And his plan worked at first, of course
And of course, the only kicker was he couldn’t allow himself to actually fall for you
But that little rule was quickly broken
His words not mine
It’s takes him a while to warm up to you, I’ll admit.
Your personality takes his pet names to a whole different level, they actually fit with whom he is talking to
“Darling, Sweetheart, Cheeky pup.” Etc etc
Moral of the story: Finds you easy going and simple at first,
But by the end, he finds he was so, so impossibly wrong
Tumblr media
Thanks for reading!!

protective hc for Astarion x Tav bg3 please?
Tumblr media
Protective-BG3
Hiii! Thank you so much for the request! Hope you’re having a great day! I love requests like this (and I assume you mean protective reader rather than a protective Astarion, if I’m wrong I’m happy to write the other way around too 🤭)
Before reading: protective!gn reader, Astarion x reader
Astarion:
Tumblr media
At first, he doesn’t particularly appreciate it
He’s had to rely on himself and his own skin in order to take care of himself
He’s never once felt the ecstasy someone else wishing to care for him
Because, well, nobody ever has
However, I will say there is a fine line between being protective and possessive
If you at one point begin to speak for him, he will very quickly shut it down
He’s had enough of people speaking for him and controlling his every move and word
But if you do the opposite, if you’re protective of his individuality,
Then that’s a wholeeee different story
He cannot help but appreciate it, he’s been an object for far too long
If you insist that he is his own person with his own thoughts and ideas,
Bro falls in love more and more omg
Tumblr media
Thanks for reading!!

hi hi hi!! i just read your bg3 headcannons and the way you write astarion and gale is so on brand!! i love the way you write! its a follow for me :> my older sister is the one who is into bg3 (i only know basically everything due to her rambles LMAO) and i read them out loud with her listening while she did her laundry and she loved them sm! thanks for being the source of my sister's serotonin
i also saw that your requests are open, and my older sister would like to make a request :)) she was wondering if you could write wedding planning/wedding ceremony headcannons for the characters?! She was so sad she didn't get to see any wedding related scenes with Gale after the game events ;-;
Tumblr media
Wedding preparations-BG3
I’m literally going to cry that’s one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me 😭 I’m so happy your sister and yourself like my writing so much, it gives me so so so much joy that you both enjoy it. Also I agree, Larian Studios should add a wedding dlc or something 🙏🏻 (Also since you weren’t exactly specific, I’ll do Astarion and Gale because it sounds like those are your favs!!)
Before reading: Fluff, gn reader, Astarion x reader, Gale x reader
Astarion:
Tumblr media
After his journey with you and the other companions, he’s sure that he wants to spend eternity with you
He’s never thought of romance, he wasn’t able to when he was a slave to Cazador
But now that he’s free, and now that he’s with you, he’s sure that he shall never love again if he loses you
You’re the one who has to actually bring up the thought of marriage,
He knows he will forever stay with you wether you marry or not
He lets you do all of the planning, as long as he gets to pick the guests
He doesn’t want anything too extravagant, shockingly
Just you, your eternal bond, and your closest companions
That’s all he really wants for a ceremony
He doesn’t ask for much, because he’s never put any thought on marriage or anything like that
He asks you if it’s alright to take your surname, for he wishes to part with his old life and start anew with you at his side
Planning is easy with him around, but expect him to jokingly complain here and there lol
Gale:
Tumblr media
Bro has never been more sure of anything in his life
He wanted to marry you the moment he laid his eyes on you
After your long, dangerous journey rehearsing the Absolute, he makes it his mission to propose to you
He just wants to take you back to Waterdeep, have you meet his mother, and finally settle down
He’s been through so much, a comfortable life with you would have him die a happy man
When it comes to the actual planning, he would like to keep everything equal
As long as you agree with everything, he’s happy. (and vice versa)
Like Astarion, he doesn’t want anything over the top or extremely fancy
A simple, fun wedding with the traditional dancing and close friends and family is all he really wants in a ceremony like this one
Also you cannot convince me he doesn’t bring Tara (his cat) to the wedding omg
He just wants to make this day special for the both of you
It’s a day he shall never forget, after all
Tumblr media
Thanks for reading!

Hello!! Is it okay if I request Astarion and Shadowheart with dark urge reader ට ̫ට ;just like what they think of them and stuff!! Feel free to ignore!! ( ・`ω・´)✨
Tumblr media
Dark Urge-BG3
Hello!! Thank you sm for requesting! You have officially become my first Baldurs Gate request 🤭 I was actually wanting to write something like this, so if anyone wants a part 2 with other characters I’m very happy to respond!
Before reading: Angst(if you squint)/comfort, Mentions of blood and death (It’s dark urge, so…), Astarion x reader, Shadowheart x reader (separate)
Astarion:
Tumblr media
Probably the most understanding of all of the companions
He knows what it’s like, to have a hunger for bloodshed, and to be forced to take lives without your own will
Depending on how you fair, his reaction to your unwilling murders and bloodlust will change
If you wish to embrace this curse of yours, he’s right beside you, desperate to become the most merciful and powerful couple in all of Faerun
But if you wish to resist it, he’s there every step of the way
He cannot help but pity you, seeing his own fears and years of being controlled in your eyes
You find he’s one of the only people able to calm your killing frenzies and unconscious killings
He’s more than willing to stay up all night, watching your form, making sure you don’t act off when the others are asleep
He knows you’re more than this, he knows you are more than your desire to kill
So no matter what you say or choose to do,
he’s going to continue supporting you
Shadowheart:
Tumblr media
As much as I adore Shadowheart
Miss maam is definitely not as understand as Astarion would be
At least, not at first
Perhaps I’m being a bit too harsh, because she definitely understands the urge to kill
The urge for revenge on those who have wronged you
So when it comes to that, she cannot help but support you
Like I said, at first she becomes extremely cautious around you,
She finds herself struggling to sleep in your company, the idea of you awaking and unknowingly slaughtering her or someone else haunting her
But when she sees your sadness around the situation, your yearning to be rid of this bloodthirsty curse
She pities you, and she wishes she could do something to help you
So she swears upon herself and her goddess that she shall work with you to find the cure for this curse
That she shall forever stay by your side, no matter the cost
Even if it takes her life away
Tumblr media
Thanks for reading!!
