#tav x gale dekarios

[prettyboisteveharrington]

Reformed Durge Headcannons:

After refusing your birthright you have an identity crisis: you had no idea who you really were or who you were supposed to bed.

You still have Dark urges from time to time as you spent all your life with them before being reborn.

You struggle with forgiving yourself for being the cause the grand design, for trying to destroy Baldurs Gate for causing harm to so many people and no heroic deed lightens the load - the one thing that mends the pain is how your found family gets you through anxiety attacks and the guilt that eats away at you.

You struggle to accept that your love interest ( whoever you are romancing in the game) loves you unconditionally and you think you aren’t good enough for them.

After you defeat the elder brain and save the world you spend time away from everyone else because you still feel guilty.

You reluctantly come to Withers gathering because you miss your friends and your (hopefully not former) lover and everyone embrace you in a group hug and your lover vows to never let you go

Over time your Dark urges fade and you learn to forgive yourself

You work every single day to stay a good person

so i'm writing a rowan x gale modern with magic meetcute set in a modern day waterdeep because i'm apparently totally unashamed of being cringey :)

this is the playlist i'm slowly adding stuff to which makes me feel things for this au, if anyone wants to have a look! i'm hoping to have something up before christmas in terms of the first chapter of a fic!! the playlist has some oldies and some pop and some more moody songs on it, but i think it's p good! it's kind of intended to be the playlist that plays in the coffee shop in the au!!

I need help from any fellow Gale romances for BG3!

Spoilers under the cut

I romanced him got all the scenes, thought I did everything right. He became a God but I knew there was a scene when he would ask you to ascend with him but I cannot get that scene. I don't know why. I can't find an answer online so I was hoping someone here could help. If anyone's had this problem or knows how to fix it so I can ascend with him, please let me know!

Astarion knows an easy mark when he sees one 🤣

There are a lot of great “Gale Approves” moments in the game, but I think my favorite might be one of the earliest (or possibly the very first?) one you can get.

It happens right after you ask him about himself and he gives you his “cat, wine, library” dialogue, ending with “didn’t that paint enough of a picture?”

If you press further by trying to peer into his mind via the tadpole and you succeed, you’ll only get a glimpse before he angrily shuts you out, and you’ll earn his disapproval:

He’s pissed, and rightly so.

However! In the next dialogue, if you tell him curiosity made you do it, he not only immediately forgives you, he ALSO gives you approval for it (thereby canceling out his prior disapproval):

I love this interaction for two reasons:

First, because it instantly tells you everything you need to know about Gale—he’s reserved until he gets to know you, he’s curious with a hint of mischief, and he’s very sweet and forgiving.

And second, because the whole interaction can be summed up as:

Gale: How dare you?!

Tav: Sorry, I’m a total nebshit.

Gale: OH! 😃👍 same

Drífa went from no friends to more than 1, so she is pretty happy

It was always funny to me how other companions would just stand there while Gale delivered this rizz lol

So, we all love Gale’s mirror image/simulacrum, and how the ‘certain measure of Gale’s personality’ that he retains is Gale’s sweet, dorky charm…but is Gale himself aware of this?

I don’t believe we ever see Gale actually interact with his mirror image, as it always appears as a replacement when Gale is elsewhere.

It’s possible Gale has always just assumed he’s created this 100% straightforward, serious mirror image who radiates scholarly intelligence…because surely, that’s the aspect of his personality that it would pull from, right?

Imagine if one night, after Gale and Tav are married and living in Waterdeep, they start reminiscing about their romance. Tav brings up their first night together, and mentions how surprised they were to see Gale’s mirror image standing in his place at camp.

Gale is pleased, and says with a gentle laugh that he hopes Tav wasn’t too intimidated by his simulacrum’s stoic nature.

To which Tav responds oh no, not at all! They loved how adorable he was, and they still remember the cute pose he did to represent Gale’s personality!

Gale (perplexed): …darling, whatever do you mean? What pose…?

Cue Tav, perfectly miming this:

Gale:

HE DID WHAT
