#Gale Dakarios

don't tell me he doesn't take naps on his balcony

The way these two are reading books at camp is extremely suspicious.

There are still evidences of what they were doing 10 seconds ago. Glass of wine ? blood on the carpet ? pillows ? romantic set up ? Gale is not even trying, the candle is on the floor, he can't see shit. At this point, Astarion's book is probably upside down.

‘he is so, so afraid of everyone. besides you, who he ought to fear most’ ‘he would forget his god for you. but you won’t for him, of that i know’ are some of the hardest quotes i ever heard and they come from baldur’s gate 3 of all places

I FINALLY have Baldur's Gate 3 to play (courtesy of my amazing husband) but now I'm like....

WHO AM I GONNA ROMANCE??

I was completely down to romance Astarion, Ive been obsessed with the fucker since I first saw him.

But somehow now, by some twist of fate, I'm down BAD for GALE of all people? How did this happen? I guess he grows on you lmao.

But also he's a cat dad, book nerd, and loves red wine. So basically the whole package.

Lending a Hand

Summary: Gale's research accidently reveals his roommate

Tw: injury and blood

A small scream pricked up Gale's ears, he had just been working on a more advanced spell of magic missile when it grew beyond his control and blasted a hole in his wall. Gale wasn't one to worry about the damage done to his tower; he had the money to repair a small hole in the wall and if the damage was done in the name of Gale's study, he wasn't going to complain too much for his mishaps. 

But the borrower who had just moved in sent a wave of guilt over the wizard as he stared at the damage he had just done. 

He had first noticed the borrower one late night In the kitchen. They had ducked behind the towering wine bottles before Gale made it to the counter. He knew enough about borrowers to know they prefer to stay hidden from big people, so he pretended to have never seen them as he went about these last few weeks. If they wanted to talk to Gale, he would patiently wait for them to come to him. 

Unfortunately, the plan would have to change if Gale hypothesis was correct. 

As he peered into the hole in the wall, he could see a moving figure underneath the debris, desperately trying to pull themselves free. However, they quickly froze when they realized Gale was lingering near the wall. He pretended to just glance at the damage around the wall but mentally, Gale was taking notes of the tiny person’s position. It was a miracle they weren't crushed, safely tucked away into a pocket of rubble that only didn't collapse on them due to a wooden beam that held the stones up. Gale feared digging them out from above would endanger them even more. Not to mention if he did manage to free them, they would surely try to hobble away to somewhere where Gale couldn't reach them. If they were hurt, they would definitely need aid. 

If Gale was going to help that, he would have to be quick and smart about this. 

Placing his hand on the wall, Gale murmured a spell to manipulate the arcane energy to slip his hand into the stone structure. A purple light illuminated the inside of the wall, causing a gasp from the borrower. Gale's hand slipped through the portal like butter, it took a little bit of feeling around, but when his fingers brushed against their arm, he quickly curled his hand around their small frame. The borrower screamed and tried to claw out of his grip, but Gale only tightened his grip. He understood their panic but this was the only way to keep them from getting hurt while he dug them out.

Meanwhile, his other hand was elbow deep in the hole, pushing rubble out of the way, tiny jagged rocks scraped at his hand but Gale only pressed on until the small one was loose enough for him to safely pull them out. 

They flailed about in his loose fist, crying out in desperate pleas to be released. Gale couldn't even begin to fathom what they were thinking, so he rushed over to his desk and hastily pushed the papers off the surface, then carefully deposited them in the center of the desk. 

This was the first time Gale could study their appearance more thoroughly. They seemed feminine in appearance but seemed to take on a more androgynous style, with shorter blonde hair that may have had a few lavender streaks around their bangs. Gale gave a faint smile as he wondered if the little one had siphoned some dye from his cabinets to color their hair like that. Perhaps that question should be asked later, when they weren't staring at them with such fear. There were more pressing matters anyways, like the wound on their leg that was caked in dust and blood. 

He slowly raised his hands. “Apologies, I didn't intend to frighten you, but I knew you needed a… hand in that moment.” Gale chuckled at his own joke but it didn't seem to land well with the petrified borrower. 

“Anyways, my name is Gale Dekarios and I am terribly sorry about the inconvenience. I did not expect my experiment to get out of hand like it did. Perhaps I could rectify my mistake by aiding that wound you acquired on your leg?”

That seemed to have jolted the borrower out of their trance, however, they scrambled backwards until their back hit the wall. “No way! I am not letting you grab me again!” 

Despite this not being the reaction he wanted, Gale remained calm, keeping his hands where the borrower could see them. “I know this is not the most ideal situation one your size would find themselves in but we must dress that wound.” 

Their eyes darted back and forth from Gale to their leg. The wound was a rather nasty gash but not serious… so long as they could get it cleaned up properly. It took a moment before the borrower finally stared back at the wizard with pleading eyes. “Do you promise not to touch anywhere but my leg?” 

Gale nodded. “I will do everything in my power to make contact as minimal and delicate as I can.” 

He took a seat at his chair and inched his hand closer to the borrower's leg, yet he waited for their permission before continuing any further. There was a moment of hesitation from the borrower, still contemplating whether this was even a good idea but they relented and moved their leg outwards for Gale to examine. 

Gale wasted no time conjuring a couple mage hands to fetch supplies to treat the wound, while he gently nudged the bloodstained trousers up to their knee. There was a nasty gash running down their calf but fortunately it didn't look life threatening. The disembodied hands flew back, setting down bandages and elixirs that would certainly aid the small person. 

Dabbing a handkerchief into the elixir, Gale shot an apologetic look their way. “This may sting a bit.” He warned before pressing the cloth to the wound, the borrower winced no matter how gentle Gale was being. After bandaging them up, he gave the tiny person some space. They immediately skittered backwards until they backed into the wall, their blue eyes widened as they stared up at Gale. He couldn't help but feel sorry for them,

“I'd say my craftsmanship wasn't all that bad given how delicate my subject was.” He flashed a grin, hoping this joke would land; sadly, it didn't. “Anyways, my name is Gale, and you?” 

“Vexis… or Vex, which um… ever you prefer.” 

“Pleasure to meet you, Vex.” 

Their eyes lingered on Gale, then to his hands that rested on the desk, it was obvious they were still afraid of being grabbed. “So… what happens to me now?” 

“Well, I'd say you should head home to rest but I'm not so sure you can make it back given your status right now.” Before Vex was given a chance to panic, Gale smiled softly. “Nevertheless, once that leg is healed, you can retreat into the walls and go back to scurrying about pretending this encounter never happened.”

“You knew about me?!” 

“Well yes,” Gale shrugged. “You slipped into a wizard's tower, my small friend. It's not easy to keep hidden when I am most attuned to my surroundings in my own home.” 

Vex’s face went ghost white as shaky hands grasped at their hair. Perhaps it wasn't the greatest idea to mention that Gale knew of their presence if he wanted them to calm down. 

“Please, you mustn't worry yourself about that. I have no quarrel with a borrower Living within my tower. If anything, I rather enjoyed the company.” 

Vex raised a brow. “But I never even talked to you?” 

“True, but knowing that someone was around was enough of a delight for me.” His cheery tone filled the room. “But now that we have properly met, I think giving you a properly cooked meal is in order!” 

“I mean… it's not necessary.” They said sheepishly.

“Nonsense, this is the least I could do after unknowingly causing your injury.” His mind was already racing with ideas for a cuisine that would win over the borrower. “How about I cook some quipper fish and use my homemade hundur sauce? I promise you, you'll love it!”

“If you're that dedicated to going through the trouble.” Vex let out a sigh. “I just… don't want to be picked up anymore today.”

 “But of course, you've been through enough already, just sit tight and I will start up dinner.” Gale eagerly stood up, forgetting that quick movements like that can easily startle borrowers. He offered Vex an apologetic smile and backed away from the desk, not bothered by the skeptical look from them. They may be a closed book, but Gale knew that time would help Vex open up more.

Tavember Day #2 is Lover I don't have direct shipping names for any of the pairings, but something that could perhaps be called a working title? Especially as I'm trying to write a few little things under these names. But I have no idea how to write almost whole books....and I am slow!!

A'amonduth and Lae'zel

Path of Silver Steel and Copper Scales

Lae'zel likes to call him My Dragon, My Silver, Scale-Boy or even Old Man. A'amon would call her My Fury or My Queen. But he also likes to use the simple, affectionate names like Darling, Love, Dearest. And in some situations Mistress.

Tronoth and Halsin

Tranquillity under the Oak tree

Halsin uses the usual terms of endearment such as My Love, My Heart or Darling. But he also likes to use Little Wolf, My Wolf or My Ranger. And very rarely Honey pot. Tronoth doesn't use many pet names, but he likes to call Halsin Big Bear or Honey Bear.

Dederich and Gale

Pages of my Heart's Potions

I think Gale, as well as Dederich, have a wide arsenal of pet names for each other. Dederich in particular almost always has a different pet name for his Gale. But there are a few that always come back. For example, Dederich likes to call Gale My Apple or Apple Mine, My Volley, My Tempest. And Gale often uses My Rose, My Spark or Sweetheart.
