One Shot Tag Game!

Thank you @say-lene for tagging me to share a one shot I've written! I am in turn tagging @verbenaa, @bakuliwrites, @flamemittens, and @defira85 to share one of yours!

I wrote ten one shots last year (yes, it was all Durgetash) and I am terrible at picking favorites, but I will go with our strange duet. It has so many of my favorite things: flirtation, fancy clothes, a night at the theater, and murder. 🎭

“Even two years ago, the Oasis was known as a gambling den so unsavory that Ravengard wanted to shut it down. It’s flourishing under its new ownership, however. It’s even considered respectable. A home for the arts.” Her grip on his arm tensed as he talked, and he laughed under his breath. Eventually, they reached the doors, Enver presented their tickets, and they were ushered inside. Even the lobby of the Oasis was a spectacle, with gilded wood framing the doors and beautiful mosaics of green, teal, and white tiles. Large posters depicting this season’s productions were enchanted to sparkle or smile, and soft music filled the air. The tiefling beside him was quiet for a few moments. Her eyes flickered to each of the doorways and the streams of people heading to their seats. “Where will we find them?” she asked, turning her gaze to him. “Patience, dearest.” He patted her hand as if she were a child, knowing it would make her bristle. “We should wait until the second act, if not the third. Besides, we may as well enjoy the show.”   She narrowed her eyes, and Enver grinned and leaned towards her again. “And we will also see our quarry from our seats.”

"Is he not so perfect in death?" the Urge had whispered. They had been staring at it, at its deep blue skin, at the strange handsomeness of its face, and Enver had felt… Jealousy. He had felt jealous of the thing. Of a corpse. The Dark Urge makes an off-hand comment about corpses, and Enver, not to be outdone, makes a plan.

Based off of this comic by @haunted-dot. Sorry I made your funny comic into a horror commentary on how we allow the things we want to control us (+ anal)!

he won’t bite, he's just playing 😌

My favourite bit of BG3 lore is that Withers is legitimately responsible for the Dead Three, but he's probably too embarrassed to tell you, so every time you ask him to elaborate he just gives you a very stern, "Noooo."

I also love that the reason he's responsible for their uprising is because he got bored. He literally got bored of his position as Lord of the Dead and wanted to retire, so when these three morally questionable humans came looking for godhood he was like, "Hmmm. Yes, okay. Here. Take my portfolios. Fight over them. I don't care. I quit."

So after bowling with skulls in a friendly competition to decide who would get what portfolio, they took up his powers and wreaked havoc on the world. Only at that moment did Jergal, AKA Withers, AKA our precious Bone Daddy think, "I'm just now, internally, asking myself, in quite a worried way, whether I might've made an error."

So he joins your merry band and watches your escapades, calmly twiddling his fingers while you clean up his mess. He's happy to lend his aid, even to the point that he'll bring Durge back to life if they reject Bhaal, even though he technically shouldn't. But he's Withers. The rules don't apply to him. If Ao doesn't like it, he can descend from the Heavens and say it to his rotting face.

And the reason he saves Durge isn't necessarily because he likes them or because he's a morally good entity (though one certainly could make that argument), but because he wants to add insult to injury. He steals Bhaal's child with a big smile on his face, dubs them his Chosen, and praises them for rejecting all the power they were promised. But of course, he still doesn't tell them who he is—or rather who he was.

Then, when all is said and done, he throws Tav and their companions a cute little party. No one knows it's probably half a thank you party and half a "Withers is bored again" party. And if anyone misbehaves, he'll get irritated and whisk them away. Because how dare they? He put a lot of work into that.

And at the end of it all, he walks up to a mural of the Dead Three and basically goes, "Lmao. Thou didst fuck around, and thou didst find out." Just savagely roasting them.

And then poof!

He waves them into non-existence.

Gortash is yelling at sewers, because Durge never told him where bhaal's temple is.

Bawi mnie nieskończenie to, że gość ma na imie Mroczna Żądza i tak sie z tym buja całe zycie.

Guilty Pleasure (f!Dark Urge/Enver Gortash)

One bad decision gets Ta'av arrested. Several more get her brought before Enver Gortash and ordered to beg for her freedom. (Rating: Explicit. Word count: 8.4k)

series: sex and violence, one is just the other

The Archduke’s face was creased with irritation and exhaustion, but the heat in his eyes was instantly recognizable. “Perhaps I will make you a collar and keep you beside my throne,” he growled. “Here and then in the Black Keep I will raise. Your insolent tongue can entertain my court.” Ta’av grinned. A small part of her, the wise part, reminded her that she should still be cautious; she still had reason to be afraid. The rest of her, however, whispered that she could have him wrapped around her finger in the same way that he now twisted the fabric of the gag around his metal claw. “You won’t,” she said. “You don’t want to share my insolent tongue.”

Lets talk about Stillmaker, Durge’s other canon blade

Okay, so we already know that Durge had the Bloodthirst dagger which was created from Bhaal’s own blood and carried by his chosen.

But there is another dagger in the game you can find that also canonically belonged to Durge, Stillmaker.

We see Stillmaker portrayed in Dark Urge’s official artwork, and it’s also Durge’s blade in Idle Champions, as you can see.

I’ve noticed that Stillmaker matches Bloodthirst in design, but it is conspicuously green, as opposed to every other Bhaalian weapon I’ve seen which are red.

You know who else’s canon weapon has the same green coloring? Gortash. And who is the color green associated with? Bane. Stillmaker looks like it was made in the same design to Gortash’s crossbow.

I posit then, that being close to one another as they were, Gortash either made or commissioned Stillmaker to match with Bloodthirst and gifted it to Durge. It’s far more his style in looks, and I feel it’s something he would have done as he describes Durge as his nearest and dearest, and we know they worked very closely together and admired one another.

It truly makes my Durgetash heart flutter!

EDIT: Here is a close up of the weapons together in game!

EDIT #2: We were discussing on discord yesterday, Orin would have of course kept the Bloodthirst blade after dispatching Durge because it’s made of Bhaal’s blood and carried by his Chosen, but she would not have wanted some sugary gift from her sibling’s Ex and probably tossed it away and Dolor ended up with it, and that’s how it ended up in his stash.

EDIT #3: @arikandkade made an EXCELLENT addition to this theory and I’m adding it because it’s just such great information, thank you so much for this info!
