we can gift Shadowheart a night orchid but imagine if we could give something to the other companions as well. giving Astarion a realistic portrait of what he looks like. giving Karlach fireproof plushies. giving Lae'zel important gith relics (maybe something we find inside rosymorn monastery) or a little dragon statuette. giving Wyll a family heirloom or something his dad kept as a reminder of wyll (maybe something he dropped when they were tadpoling him at the end of act2 and we could find it on the ground). giving Gale a book titled "how to take care of your tressym's fur and wings" or other books or cat toy, cat hairbrush, silly things like that.

I have a serious love-hate relationship with Night Orchids. I shake from frustration from the sheer thought of drawing them but I love it when they turn out like they're supposed to. So many shapes there. Everything for the wife.

Would you do prompt 48. (…out of habit.) for Violet and Shadowheart :D pretty please!

Thanks for the challenging prompt @bonechillen!

Bad Habit

Violet was a predictable creature. She was the first to rise each morning, well before the sun – that is on mornings Shadowheart herself had not kept the half-drow otherwise occupied till such time, which had happened on several occasions since the tiefling party. The memory of their encounters brought an undeniable warmth to her cheeks, even now that the recollection was accompanied by a pang of remorse and the all too familiar ache of loss.

I can’t recall the last time I shared so much with someone – maybe I never did before. It meant a lot to me. You mean a lot to me.

Violet had looked so sweetly surprised by her admission, which was fair. Shadowheart had gotten cold feet the first time, distancing herself with great discipline only to throw caution to the wind the night of the party and reel the other woman right back in. Shadowheart’s heart soared to hear in spite of the false start, Violet reciprocated her feelings in the light of day.

Though I'm not sure what kind of courtship will be afforded, given all that we're facing. But if you want to see where this goes, I do as well.

Shadowheart took herself by surprise as the word left her lips. Courtship. During the party and up to their time at the waterfall, Shadowheart had been trying to rationalize her attraction to Violet. She told herself it could stay casual between them, that Lady Shar would permit her to satiate the cravings of the flesh, and that at the very least Violet’s time was better spent in a Sharran’s bedroll than singing praises to her Moonwitch. It was with these thoughts in mind she invited Violet to share a bottle, and one intimate night later there she was, already faltering. 

If there was a spectrum between casual sex and courtship, Shadowheart had certainly let what they shared slip woefully to the wrong side. Sharing a tent more often than not, noticing the tug of her heart each morning she felt Violet stir from sleep, stretch out with a soft groan and plant a gentle kiss upon her cheek. Shadowheart would pretend to stay asleep until she’d slipped out into the morning air, but the moment Violet was gone she would roll over and place a hand longingly on the empty space on her bedroll until she felt the woman’s warmth fade from the leather.

Violet never realized just how much Shadowheart adored that morning ritual, a chaste kiss on the cheek – or the way every night as she pressed her body back into Violet’s, their every curve melding together comfortably, Shadowheart would crane her neck back to look at Violet inviting the kiss goodnight that had become as automatic as drawing breath. Every night, one last touch of lips. Always the same – firm, resolute, seeking absolutely nothing more than a reminder of gentle shared affection before sighing into contented sleep. It was one of these tender kisses of habit that finally snapped Shadowheart out of the fantasy she let herself slip into with Violet.

Once they were bathed in the dark magic of Lady Shar, it was impossible for Shadowheart to pretend that Violet hadn’t become a dangerous diversion from her worship. She could not risk Lady Shar’s ire. Not here. She hadn’t called it all off entirely, but she curtailed their shared sleeping arrangements without a word. She let distance settle between them once again. She spent every resting moment pouring herself into prayer and meditation, leaving no room at all for Violet to occupy. 

Violet was a predictable creature. Shadowheart knew the half-drow would be stirring from sleep this very moment, stretching out with a familiar groan. Did she ever find herself leaning forward, lips poised to meet a cheek that no longer awaited them? Shadowheart’s fingers lingered idly on her own face, a poor substitution for the touch she craved.

Her Mistress’ power stirred deep within her chest, however, an undeniable blessing bestowed in the hollow place of loss Shadowheart painstakingly carved out in Her name. Was that power worth what it had cost? For now it would have to be.

HC blurp

We all know Halsin doesn't mind having multiple partners and probably has had a bunch of romantic encounters through-out his very long life (many lovers, as he says). AND we've also heard him implicitly say how he's sad he doesn't have a family (when Jaheira talks of hers). So, how is he not a dad yet if he plants his seed everywhere?

Introducing, Plan-B tea! Because of course he knows how to prevent pregnancy with a potion/tea! He's an archdruid. And in my headcanon, he brews it from Night Orchids, giving the beautiful flower another reason as to why it's Shadowheart's favourite! She strikes me as a plan-b queen.

Today's showerthought turned hc lore.
