♡ little things that would make gale fall harder for you♡

how you join him in stargazing

how you read the books he recommended to you with such enthusiasm (and how you leave cute little notes inside them for him to discover later)

how you make his morning coffee just the way he likes it

how kind you are even if you don't have to be

how you offered him the magical artefact to consume without a second thought

how you always listen to him patiently if he goes on a tangent

how you tried on his wizard cape and hat once (and how positively lovely you looked while wearing it)

how you make ridiculous comments about Elminster

how you are jealous of his earrings or more importantly with whom it connected him...

how he catches you admiring his beard

how you make dirty jokes that leave him acting scandalised, though he secretly loves them

how you've earned Tara's approval (he was really worried about this one)

how you are never trying to rush him when he talks

how well-developed your moral compass is (it might sounds strange but it's truth though!)

how you lose yourself in the music while playing the piano in his study room (especially when you think he's not looking)

how you surprise him with sudden butt slaps, turning his cheeks a delightful shade of pink...

how powerful you are while in a battle

how you kiss his orb delicately

how you are his big spoon when he feels down

how you effortlessly draw him into deep philosophical conversations (your intelligence is so sexy and stimulating for gale)

how you enjoy sunbathing on his balcony, basking in the warmth of the sun

how thrilled you are when he excitedly shares a new spell or discovery with you

how you make him feel worthy

how you place gentle little pecks on his lips

how you match his freak in bed

how you wish for him to stay cuddled up with you in bed "just a little longer" every morning (it's difficult for him to resist of course)

(Pre-defeating the absolute)

(TW: Abuse mention/mutilation mention)

.

.

.

.

⋆˚✿˖° First tadpole experiment conducted on by Kressa Bonedaughter, assumed to suffer most at the hands of her - where most victims would succumbto their injuries. Was found barely alive when Kressa “saved” her after Orin mutilated her.

⋆˚✿˖° When she was finally out of Kressa’s grasp, she was placed on the Nautiloid. Whether it be because of the extreme nature of the abuse and torment she went through or that her brains were just scrambled due to both Orin and Kressa - she only knew her chosen name - Helena. Who she was prior a complete mystery.

⋆˚✿˖°After the Nauteloid, the first people she found were Mimo - A high elf warlock, and Lalith - a barbarian tiefling:

(These are my friend’s tavs). Mimo and Lalith, in a similar position as Helena, immediately decided to join her to rid the illithids in their heads. They met ShadowHeart shortly after.

⋆˚✿˖° Helena meeting Gale:

It was NOT love at first sight. Helena, being extremely suspicious of the strange man she just pulled out of the boulder, was actually about to fight him. He convinced her otherwise.

⋆˚✿˖° Helena and the other companions - the full party sitting down while Gale plays camp cook (I’ll go into go into more details in another post about each of them)

⋆˚✿˖° Helena had a short lived fling in act 1 with Astarion. It didn’t last long, but the two remained friends through the adventure.

⋆˚✿˖° The first thing to come back from her missing identity was her love for flowers, gardening, and herbs.

⋆˚✿˖° She genuinely does not like her face, which is why she didn’t mind sacrificing her eye to a hag in an attempt to cure herself (it didn’t work). Her left eye is a hags eye:

⋆˚✿˖° When she murdered Alfira in her sleep, she was very bothered by it - but worried about repercussions she deceived everyone stating a wild animal killed Alfira. (Astarion didn’t buy it). She does open up to Gale in act 2 but we’ll leave that for a short fanfic.

⋆˚✿˖° Her favorite place adventuring is the UnderDark. She was intrigued by the mushrooms and plant-life. Her and Gale actually bonded the most in the UnderDark.

⋆˚✿˖° She got high off of a mushroom in the UnderDark for fun and on purpose. It took her two days to recover from her trip.

⋆˚✿˖° She is BANNED from camp kitchen. Despite her interest in herbs, spices, and plant-life - she cannot cook worth a shit. The one time she cooked, she attempted to serve roasted dwarf and it disturbed some of her fellow companions. Gale reconciled the evening by actually cooking something semi-edible to everyone else and less gruesome.

⋆˚✿˖° When Elminster charged Gale with the task of ending himself to save the world, Helena was furious and had to prevent herself from unaliving the old man in camp. She was also very mad at Gale for being so complacent. She then proceeded to stay in her tent for the rest of the evening, isolating herself because she doesn’t like it when others see her cry.

⋆˚✿˖° Throughout their time in the shadow-cursed lands, Helena kept stewing with nightmares and PTSD-Induced visions. When Gale was officially romanced, he would stay up at night with her and conjure small illusions of stars to comfort her. This is where she eventually opens up that she doesn’t know who she is.

⋆˚✿˖° She recognized Kressa Bonedaughter when they met her in the colony under moonrise, but she wasn’t sure from where. When they went up against her, instead of using spells to take down Kressa when weakened - Helena used her bare hands to tear her apart - it was overkill. It was similar vibes of when Astarion killed Cazador. Gale had to physically pull her off the dead woman.

⋆˚✿˖° After defeating Kethric Thorm, Helena knew she was at risk of harming Gale. - the urges becoming more intense. He stayed up with her while she was tied up resisting the urge to maim him. After that, that’s when she came clean about killing Alfira.

⋆˚✿˖° When she found out who she was actually, she vomited. It was not who she was anymore and she vowed to never be that person again. Mainly because of the friends she had and the bond they all grew to have. She wouldn’t trade it for Bhaal or anyone

⋆˚✿˖° She spent a lot of nights talking to ShadowHeart about memory loss and being used by evil-aligning Gods. The would get drunk on wine most of the time during these convos

⋆˚✿˖° Helena was hungover in camp multiple days during their adventure. She enjoys her wine and celebrating even the smallest wins.

~~~~ that’s all for now. I will add on at a later date~~~~~~~

Wedding ask game! Can I know your 1, 2 & 19? whichever ship you feels like, Lyra and Liliana are both very lovely! ♡

Thank you for the ask!! And thank you so much for my girls! 🥰 (I did a little re-design for Liliana tho, so I'll give her a proper introduction, before we can get a lil sneak peek into her not-so-distant future!) In the meantime! Here's some Galemancer fluff!

1. Wedding, or something else? - What do the characters think about weddings or marriages? If not a wedding, would they acknowledge their relationship in a different kind of ceremony?

Liliana has a little history with marriage. She was on the run from an arranged mariage when she was caught by the nautiloid. The idea of being sold out, traded for gold or influence, entrapped in a loveless union for the benefit of others appalled and terrified her.

But with Gale, marriage did not feel like an entrapment at all! It was a beautiful evidence! So when the wizard got down on one knee and asked if she wanted to become Lyra Dekarios, how could she ever refuse? 🥰

They have earned a certain status – heroes of Baldur's Gate, saviours of Faerûn, every student's favorite teacher and their resplendent betrothed – so I expect there would be quite a lot of well-wishers and distant relatives gathering round for the occasion.

But after the ceremony, when the sun sets on the celebration, they gladly leave their guests to their libations and retreat to the calmer heights of the tower they call their home, to the small company of their closest and dearest friends.

2. Proposal - Who proposed to whom? Were there rings or other gifts involved?

Gale proposed on the night they all reunited, six months after they had saved Baldur's Gate, and moved in together and endeavoured to restore his tower – not to its former glory, but to something in its own merit even more glorious! A home. Their home.

'What a difference a day makes', he had once reflected. Six months together had made all the difference in the world. And Lyra couldn't wait to see what a difference the next years, the next decades – the next centuries if they were ever so lucky as to reach Elminster's lifespan! – would bring.

They did not exchange rings then, did not speak of their engagement during the party, but a keen eye would notice Gale did no longer wear his silver earring, but instead, an emerald set in gold – the same that adorned Lyra's neck.

19. Guests - Who else is there? Are there any special details about how the guests are arranged, what they are wearing, or what they are doing?

The arrangements for some of their friends' coming were quite arduous. The journey was long and difficult for some. Others required some accommodations to even be able to attend. But it would be no party without the entirety of their merry band sharing a bottle (or a crate!) of wine and relishing in each other's company for a few hours or a few weeks if they could spare them, sharing memories of their adventures together and exchanging anecdotes of their new lives.

♡ @headsmansax

the executioner's axe hovers over his neck, the blade sharpening with every passing day. death is part of the circle of life. it would always catch up to him, though he hoped to lessen the casualties whenever the ticking time bomb above his heart would decimate. the group is taking a small reprieve at camp. all of them attempting to rest and perhaps wrap their minds around the current horrors that threaten them. elminster's arrival had been a shock, and even more so were the words that left his talented tongue. mystra's demand that he play sacrificial lamb has his mind in knots. forgiveness is something he had been yearning for, but he had hoped to still be around to embrace mystra once more.

there's a heaviness that hangs over his tent, as the wizard stares at his hands silently, thinking. he doesn't notice tharia's arrival at first as his mind is scattered. moments pass before lifting his head, eyes widening at the sight of his companion. ❝ oh, forgive me. how long have you been standing there? ❞ he shook his head and stood to come face to face with the other. ❝ doesn't matter. i am burdened with thoughts about my . . . sacrifice. i admit that i am - afraid. a word i do not often use, but i believe it suits the current situation. what are your thoughts on mystra's command? if you were me, would you see this through to the bitter end? ❞
