Raphael: *standing outside of their room in the Elfsong, trying to calm Astarion down* I know.

Astarion: then let me in there! I can’t believe you’re just allowing that monster in there with him after what she did!

Raphael: it was an accident, love. And she’s not a monster… *takes his hand and peers into the room slightly to see Solairen sitting upright, still weak and his eyes still bandaged but smiling so brightly as he hugs Calliope tight and coos a lullaby to her* she’s his daughter. Lathander be damned.

Solairen: *smiling as calliope hugs her wings around him trying to heal where she’d hurt him in her outburst* the bhaalspawns gone, Gale is safe and your daddy’s here, beautiful beautiful beautiful, little laaaAaark~🎶

I got through the Cazador fight (after 2 loses, a computer crash, and abusing game mechanics) and didn't ascend Astarion, so I finally got my graveyard scene and NO ONE CAN TALK TO ME FOR 3-5 BUSINESS DAYS IT WAS SO CUTE.

Solairen: *laying on his side, one wing definitely broken from cushioning his fall but alive* morning lords grace- M-my love? *rolls over and gasps, not at the decapitated head of Mephistopheles glaring at him with milky white eyes, but at the vision beside him* my love…

Raphael: *unconscious with a concussion cocktail of incubus spittle and blunt force trauma from riding his fathers head to the ground after severing it with solairens sword. The wedding gown he’d been forced into and paraded around the court of mephistar in as a final humiliation now torn to ribbons hanging off his naked red body, a final act of humiliation before his wedding to a hoard of pit fiends and lemurs that is* mmnn… *opens his eyes to see Solairen, the Paladin he’d fallen in love with as a drow, now a celestial solar ascended by lathander, glowing like a beacon of hope in the hell he thought would be his eternal tomb* m-my love… are you, o-okay?…

Solairen: *smiles and strokes his cheek* I am, I am my love.

Raphael: *leans into his touch without a fuss* h-Haarlep drugged me… brought me here so father could lure you and Astarion, he wanted to kill you in front of me, he wanted to remind me of my place… I didn’t think, you’d come for me…

Solairen: *blinks and laughs through tears* I married you. Astarion married you. He’s worried sick waiting for me to bring you home! I’d go to the end of the astral if it meant saving you… but you saved me instead. *smiles*

Raphael: *closes his eyes and grins playfully as the leathery membrane of his wings begins to flake away like burning paper* a saviour, that… is for certain. My love… *passes out again as large white feathers sprout from his back and many of his cambion characteristics are replaced with that of a solar celestial, his horns lined with gold framing a halo resembling a burning sun, and the jagged arrow point of his tail smoothing to a gentle heart, before returning to a handsome human man, with a heavenly warm golden glow surrounding him*

Solairen: *looks up to the heavens hearing lathanders words in his mind*

“He has proven himself worthy… and you have proven me wrong yet again… you did see good within him”

Solairen: *smiles and closes his eyes* I saw him… only him. *lifts his husband into his arms, giving him a loving, chaste kiss knowing Mephistopheles is still alive in hus corpse. Glaring at him from seemingly lifeless eyes* … *strokes Raphael’s face* you were always, more than enough… let’s go home my fire… *carries him through the portal back to the devils fee*

Astarion: *pacing back and forth frantically, haarleps blood still coating every part of his magistrate robes* they’re not back yet! Somethings wrong.

Wyll: it’ll be alright.

Calliope: *bursts in through a portal followed by Gale* WHAT DO YOU MEAN RAPHAELS BEEN KIDNAPPED?!

Astarion: I mean I had a bad feeling as I went to kiss him and I stopped in time to realise that fucker! *points at haarleps body* Smells nothing like my husband!! Solairens gone after him and neither of them have returned!

Gale: I’m sure they’ll be fine.

Astarion: HOW CAN YOU BE SO BLASÉ ABOUT THIS?! BOTH OF MY HUSBANDS ARE IN HELL-

Solairen: *steps through the portal holding Raphael, shielding his body with his wing* I’ve got him.

Gale: told you.

Astarion: I- you’re hurt! Gods you’re both hurt!! *hurries over and embraces them both* he’s?… glowing? These markings they look like yours is- what happened?

Solairen: now you have two celestial husbands, my little star.

Astarion: I- you- *sobs* d-don’t be cute I’m very upset! Let’s get him home I need to clean both of you up! You reek of the hells!

*the next morning*

Raphael: *growling as he tries to get rid of the glow on his skin and the halo following him* ARGHH! *grabs it and throws it only for it to reappear* I DIDNT ASK FOR THIS! *hurries to the balcony and looks up at the sun* FUCK YOU LATHANDER!!!

[tee-dohrnii]

Calliope finds herself amongst axolotls and is like "My babies..............."

Gale is trying to explain to her how axolotls are not related to dragonborns at all and-

"Wait, my love, don't try to take them out-"

Edit: for context, this is what she looks like for those who don't know

[mentalmeles]

Based on an interaction with Shadowheart I discovered last night

[leopardmuffinxo]

Karlach, I like you, but we hardly know each other.

Now that I have a new computer, I briefly came back to Baldur's Gate 3 just to see how it feels on the new machine AND OH BABY NO STUTTERING, NO FIVE MINUTE LOAD TIMES, NO TEXTURES SLOWLY LOADING ONE BY ONE!

*Cough*

But uh, since it's been a while since I touched the game, I made a new Tav for the sake of getting reacquainted with everything and because I've had this idea for a while.

Meet Audra, she's a half-high elf storm sorcerer and I can't wait to play out her interactions with Gale. ;)
