Is Karlach's soul destroyed if she explodes?? I'm pretty sure that Gale's is if he blows up the orb (rip) but even if Karlach burns up it would be possible to bring her back with a Wish right? I guess there's no rule on the books (that I've been able to find) about recreating a destroyed soul with wish but it makes sense that a soul that was completely eradicated wouldn't be able to be brought back even with a wish.. I guess it would depend on your dm. Someone get larian on the phone

idk man for xarrai like. the end of the game barely feels like a victory. great the absolute is gone but what now? they watched karlach die and astarion can never see the sun again and the city they love and hate and love again is saved but it’s also in tatters and the life they had before is burnt up with it like. where do they go from here? what do they do? they never wanted to be a savior or a hero.

Tumblr media
The next morning, Bucky was barely awake when the pounding on his apartment door started.
“Open up, Barnes!” Yelena said from the hallway, loud and insistent. He groaned, rolling over and covering his head with a pillow, hoping they’d give up. No such luck.
“I know you’re in there!” Sam chimed, sounding just as persistent.
Bucky cursed under his breath, reluctantly pushing himself out of bed and stumbling out. 
As he opened the door, the cool morning air swept into his apartment, carrying the scent of coffee his friends had bought for him. Sam's grin widened, while Yelena immediately pushed her way in. 
The familiar, chaotic energy the two brought with them was like a damn alarm clock that couldn’t be snoozed. Despite his outward grumbling, a part of Bucky felt… happy. 
For someone who had spent so many years isolated, these intrusions had become a comforting reminder that he wasn’t alone.
“You guys need hobbies,” Bucky grumbled, he had barely gotten any sleep after last night. Between replaying the almost-kiss and mentally planning the second date, his mind hadn’t been able to shut off.
Yelena placed the coffee on the counter, while Sam leaned against the island kitchen with a smirk. 
“So…how’d it go?” Sam asked, curios.
Bucky shot him a glare, walking over to the coffee that had brought. He took a long sip before answering, knowing there was no getting out of this. “It went fine.”
“Fine?” Yelena hopped to sit on his counter. “I saw you all touchy-feely all night. Are you expecting us to believe that you dropped her off and came home?”
Bucky raised an eyebrow, unaffected. “That’s exactly what I did.”
Sam snorted. “I call bullshit. I saw how you looked at her during Monopoly—you had hearts for eyes. Come on, man, give us something. Did you even kiss her?”
Bucky’s silence was telling. 
Yelena’s eyes widened in disbelief. “No. way.” She said, her Russian accent dripping from her mouth.
“I didn’t,” Bucky admitted, his cheeks warming at the thought. “We just had tea.”
Yelena blinked. “Tea?”
“Is tea code for something?” Sam repeated incredulously. 
Bucky shook his head, taking another sip of his coffee. “We talked. It was nice.”
Sam looked at Yelena like he couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Yelena nodded. “Oh this is real. He’s not playing around. This is real.”
“Look,” Bucky said, “She said she doesn’t kiss on the first date. I respect that. But there’s going to be a second date.”
Sam’s eyes lit up. “When?”
Bucky grumbled under his breath, scratching the back of his neck. “Two days.”
Yelena smirked. “You better kiss her then, Barnes, or I’ll do it for you.”
Bucky shot her a look. “Not helping.”
Sam, ever the wingman, reassured him. “You got this.”
Yelena leaned back on the counter with a satisfied grin. “And if you screw it up, we’ll hear about it the morning after.”
Bucky rolled his eyes but couldn’t stop the smile tugging at his lips. 
As much as they teased him, it felt good knowing they cared.
Standing outside your door, Bucky’s heart raced in his chest.
The bouquet in his hand felt heavier than it should have. His leather jacket felt stiff, and he tugged at the sleeves out of habit, hoping to ease the tension in his muscles. 
When you opened the door, all the thoughts that had been clouding his thoughts vanished in an instant. 
You stood there in a simple but stunning dress, your hair falling perfectly into place. 
Your smile lit up the hallway, and for a moment, all he could do was stare. 
You looked beautiful, but he already knew that. 
“Hey you,” you said softly, stepping out into the hallway.
“Hey yourself,” he breathed out as he held out the flowers. I’ve got to stop overthinking this, he told himself, trying to fight the heat creeping up his cheeks.
You took them, your fingers brushing against his. “Bucky, they’re beautiful.”
He gave a small, relieved smile. “I wasn’t sure what kind of flowers you liked, so I just—"
“I love them,” you interrupted him from his anxious train of thoughts, smiling up at him. “You ready to go?”
The restaurant was even more lovely than Bucky had hoped. The warm lighting gave the small space an intimate glow, casting soft shadows on your surroundings. 
The quiet hum of conversations around you created a sense of privacy, as though the world outside didn’t exist. You sat across from him, leaning forward slightly as you asked for his most embarrassing stories. 
Bucky chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his neck. The heat from the candle between you flickered, radiating your smile. 
"Okay, okay," he sighed dramatically, but the laughter in his eyes gave him away. "But you better share some of yours too."
"Deal," you agreed with a wink.
He leaned back in his chair, thinking for a moment. "Alright, here’s one. I was way too old when I found out the tooth fairy wasn’t real."
You blinked at him, then giggled. "Wait, how old are we talking here?"
Bucky’s grin widened, and he looked a little sheepish. "Like… fourteen."
Your eyes went wide, and you clapped a hand over your mouth to stifle your laughter. "Fourteen?! How did that even happen?"
Bucky shrugged, chuckling. "I don’t know, I just… didn’t question it. I’d lose a tooth, and a dollar would show up under my pillow. Magic or whatever."
“Oh my God, Bucky, fourteen?!” You were stifling a laugh so hard you could barely catch your breath. "Did anyone ever try to tell you?"
"My ma did, actually," he said, shaking his head at the memory. "She sat me down and said, ‘James, there’s something we need to talk about.’ I thought I was in trouble. Then she just blurted it out— I was crushed."
"You must’ve felt so betrayed,”  you laughed, wiping a tear from the corner of your eye. 
He smiled. "Yeah, a little."
“That’s adorable.” You shook your head, still grinning. "I’m never letting you live that down."
"Fair enough," he said with a chuckle, leaning forward slightly. "Now. Your turn.”
You took a deep breath, gathering yourself. You told him a story about how you used to get in so much trouble as a kid, how you injured yourself every now and then. 
As you told your stories, Bucky found himself completely mesmerized—not by the little anecdotes, but by the way the sound of your voice made everything sound so fascinating.
The conversation eventually drifted from light-hearted teasing to deeper topics, both of you sharing bits of yourselves you hadn’t before. 
Bucky found himself laughing more than he had in a long time, and you seemed just as captivated. You leaned in every time he spoke, eyes sparkling with curiosity.
As the night began to wind down, neither of you were in a rush to leave. Eventually, after paying the bill, Bucky stood and helped you into your coat, his hand lingering on your back for just a second longer than necessary.
The walk after was filled with soft conversation, with no particular destination in mind. 
The city lights reflected in the puddles on the sidewalk, your arm brushing against Bucky’s every now and again.
Bucky found himself watching you a little longer than he should, memorising the way your face looked when you were lost in thought. The gentle glow of moonlight wrapped like a blanket around you both.
He slowly reached out, taking your hand in his. You smiled up at him, squeezing your interlocked fingers. There was something perfect about everything —natural, unforced, as if the world was giving him permission to just enjoy this fleeting moment.
The streetlamp overhead flickered slightly as you stopped for a brief moment, turning to face him. The soft, golden light casted a gentle halo around you, illuminating the curve of your smile.
“I had a great time,” you said, your voice quiet, but your eyes full of warmth.
“Me too,” Bucky replied, his heart pounding a little faster than it should.
The world seemed to grow quieter, as though it knew something was about to happen. Bucky stood there, his heart pounding against his ribs like it had on the first date. He could feel the gravity of the moment pulling him closer to you, his breath hitching as you took a half-step toward him, your face tilted up. His gaze flicked down to your lips, and then back to your eyes.
This time, when Bucky leaned in, you didn’t stop him. His lips hovered over yours once again, soft and tentative at first, testing the waters. He pulled away before he could kiss you. “Do you want to head back to my apartment?”
Oh, that little tease. 
You nodded, feeling that familiar flutter in your chest. 
Once you and Bucky reached his place, the air around you was shrouded with anticipation. 
“You want something to drink?” Bucky asked, trying to ease the nervous chills creeping up on him.
“Whatever you’re having is fine,” you replied, offering him a soft smile.
He gave you a nod and disappeared into the kitchen, leaving you to take in your surroundings. His apartment was just like him—cosy but strong, dark with hidden depth. 
Bucky leaned against the kitchen doorframe, watching you from across the room as you absentmindedly touched the spines of his old books. There was something surreal about seeing you in his space, like you belonged there. 
His apartment had always felt a little too quiet, a little too bare. With you, it felt complete— alive. 
Then it struck him: just how much he wanted this— not the moment, not the date, but you, and how you represented the kind of connection that made him feel like he was truly home. 
He finally handed you a glass of sparkling water. “I don’t have any fancy tea,” he said with a small laugh, his eyes flicking to yours, checking to see if you were comfortable.
“This is perfect,” you reassured him, sipping from the glass. You both settled on the couch, not quite touching yet.
For a while, you just talked. The conversation was easy, the kind that made you feel like you were learning something new about each other every minute— you talked about your studies, talked about how the interview with Clint went yesterday. He told you about his latest mission, and how he was waiting for his next. 
There were moments where Bucky would say something that would make you laugh, your hand brushing his arm without thinking, and you’d catch the way his eyes softened with affection.
As the conversation slowed, the silence between you was anything but empty. It felt heavy with with the tension that had been building since the moment you walked through the door. 
Bucky’s heart was pounding so loudly in his ears that he almost missed the way you whispered, “You can kiss me now.” 
His eyes widened, and for a split second, he hesitated. But when he saw your breath hitch, and he saw the way your eyes fluttered closed, your lips slightly parted, and all his hesitation melted away. 
He leaned in slowly, savoring every second before his lips met yours. Finally, he felt the softness of your lips against his, the warmth of your body pressed close.
He pulled you closer, his metal hand resting on the small of your back. It felt like the world had disappeared, leaving the two of you tangled in a movie that neither of you wanted to end.
When he finally pulled back, he rested his forehead against yours, his breath a little shaky. The soft glow from the nearby lamp casted gentle shadows on your face.
He moved back slightly, just enough to see your eyes, a small smile tugging at his lips.
“You’re beautiful,” he whispered, his voice low and sincere. He could barely believe what was happening.
A soft laugh escaped your mouth, and you pressed a gentle kiss to the corner of his mouth. “And you’re perfect,” you murmured, the words full of affection and admiration. 
“Far from perfect,” he replied, his fingers brushing lightly against your cheek, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear.  
“Feels pretty perfect right now,” you teased.
He grinned, and before you could say another word, he pressed his lips against yours again. This time it was soft, but with more certainty, like he was tasting every drop of you.
You both smiled into the kiss, unable to help the giddiness within.
“I’ve been waiting for this for so long,” Bucky admitted in between kisses.
You whispered, “How long?”
His thumb traced the edge of your jaw. “The week after our interview? I went to the same cafè every day hoping I’d run into you. And I did.” he said with a sheepish smile.
You recalled that moment you were pleasantly surprised to find him there. He had played it off so casually, saying he just liked the coffee. That day, you ended up talking over coffee for two hours, both of you oblivious to each other’s intentions.
You felt your heart flutter, the weight of his words wrapping around you like a blanket. “Me too,” you confessed, your voice almost shy. “I’ve had a crush on you since the interview. I just… never thought you’d feel the same.”
Bucky’s eyes softened, the icy blue of his eyes filled with nothing but warmth. “You have no idea,” he murmured, his lips brushing yours again to prove just how wrong you were.
The kisses got more heated as your hands slid up to rest on his chest, feeling the strong beat of his heart beneath your palms. 
His hands found your waist, pulling you closer.
Bucky’s lips trailed from your mouth to your jawline, then to the sensitive spot just below your ear. 
You shivered, a quiet sigh escaping your lips.
Your fingers curled into the fabric of his shirt, and he responded with a soft groan.
The kisses became more intense, his mouth claiming yours again. The space between you seemed to disappear entirely. 
When he finally fully pulled back, both of you were breathless. 
His voice was low when he asked, “Do you… want to stay the night?”
“Of course,” you whispered without hesitation, your voice steady and sure.
The smile that spread across Bucky’s face was a mix of relief and desire. He pressed one more soft kiss to your lips, his hand lingering on your waist.
For the first time in a long time, everything felt just right.
Epilogue : 
The next morning, the sun was barely peeking through the curtains when the pounding on Bucky’s door started again.
You stirred under the covers, blinking sleepily as you registered what was happening. Bucky groaned beside you, burying his face into the pillow.
You laughed softly, sliding out of bed. “I’ve got this,” you whispered, grabbing the first thing you could find—one of Bucky’s old shirts—and pulling it over your head. It was too big on you, the fabric hanging just past your thighs. 
The pounding on the door continued. Did Bucky order something? It must be mail, right?
You sleepily trudged out of the bedroom towards the front door and opened it. Yelena and Sam froze mid-knock, eyes as wide as dinner plates.
“Oh,” Sam said, his eyebrows shooting up. 
Yelena’s jaw loosened, “that was unexpected.”
You leaned casually against the doorframe, crossing your arms with a tired smile. “Good morning to you too.”
Yelena broke into a grin. “the second date went well?”
Before you could answer, Bucky’s groggy voice called from the bedroom. “Who’s at the door?”
“Your nosy friends,” you called back with a chuckle.
Bucky appeared behind you, rubbing a hand over his face. “Can you two not?” he grumbled, clearly still half-asleep.
Sam pointed at you again, now looking between you and Bucky. “You owe me 20!” He said to Yelena.
“Settle your bets somewhere else,” Bucky grumbled, though he could not stop the shy smile forming on his lips.
Yelena elbowed Sam. “Yeah, yeah. We’ll leave you alone... for now.”
As they walked away, Bucky quickly closed the door and wrapped you in his strong arms. 
You grinned, “I kinda really like your friends.”

Sneaky God Gale Still Loves You
I want to take a moment to offer some reassurance to any of my fellow Galemancers who got the worst Gale romance ending—the infamous ‘Sneaky God Gale.’ (credit to @airydandelion, who I believe first coined the term and who did a ton of valuable research as noted at the end of this post!)
This ending happens when you think you’ve convinced Gale not to ascend. You turned down his offer for godhood in the boat! You didn’t push him towards the crown at all (or so you thought)! And most importantly, he seemed convinced!!
Then you get to the ending on the docks and suddenly he’s all: “that crown tho…🥵��� And he leaves.
Worst of all, he won’t even offer to ascend you at the epilogue party.
So what gives?!
Putting aside that this happens because 1. There are some extremely subtle and not-great dialogue options pushing him towards the crown which should’ve been better written/more obvious, and 2. Gale ‘I’m-many-things-but-not-coy’ Dekarios should have been clearly displaying his intentions towards the crown in order to give fair warning to the player, I do still think we can explain his behavior.
The most important thing to remember is that he is not gaslighting you! He’s not smooching you and giving you those big lovey cow eyes while smugly thinking about how he’s going to dump you.
When Gale offers you godhood in the boat, it’s literally called the ‘Be My God Proposal’ in the data files. It’s a proposal. And what a proposal! Because he’s not just offering you a marriage where it’s a short span of mortal years together until death. He’s offering you a literal eternity together.
…and you turned him down.
You did it for all the right reasons, your heart was in the right place, BUT…Gale is uncertain. He loves you, but do you really love him? Just him? He’s still not sure he’s enough for you. You weren’t vehemently against the crown, you seemed to waffle. And you turned down his proposal…an eternity with him was something you did not wish for…
So when he gets to the brain stem, and then the docks, and he still feels uncertainty in his heart, well—it makes him very easily swayed by the orb’s hunger for the crown.
But he still loves you.
When you get to the epilogue, he doesn’t offer you ascension for the simple reason that you already turned it down. He respects your choice, and he’s not going to try and coax you into it; your desires are different than his, and that makes a life together impossible.
But he still loves you.
Well, but, you argue, why can’t we be together as a mortal and a god? Like Gale was with Mystra?
Tumblr media
He would never expose you to such risk, because he still loves you.
‘Ok fine,’ you say. ‘Sure, he’s still got his kind heart buried underneath the arrogance. But even so, he chose to leave. There’s no absolute, definitive proof that he still loves me!’
Tumblr media
Sneaky God Gale absolutely, 100%, still loves you! So go do yourself (and him) a favor and fix that ending:
You can use this amazing, incredible, fantastic guide created by @airydandelion to ensure you pick the right dialogue choices to get the Gale ending you want!
If you are on a PC and do not want to go back many hours of gameplay to replay/redo the dialogue choices, you can use this mod to convince Gale to stay human with the dice roll at the brain stem.
If you’re on a PS5 (which does not currently have the above mod) my best suggestion is to use the cheaters ring. This is a PS5 mod that essentially lets you cheese all combat and speedrun the game, saving you a ton of time if you need to replay Act 3 in order to get your human Gale.
Whatever you decide to do, you can go forth secure in the knowledge that Gale was 100% truthful when he told you this:
Tumblr media
(One final shoutout: credit to @galebrainrott for their post sharing Gale’s datamined files!)
