This animatic includes spoilers! Be warned 💜

So this took 2 weeks of my life xD the original idea was to make it Astarion centric, but then i saw the potential of making this about the whole main cast ^^

WRITING IS HARD, MAN.

I’m an artist by trade; and it’s rough enough just getting one or two comments on a piece but it’s even worse with writing 😭 I get so many notes but very few comments; and it’s not just me!!! It happens to so many writers…it’s so disheartening and the main reason I haven’t been feeling motivated to write, because it’s just like…who am I writing for? How do others do it, how do some of yall write chapters and chapters and chapters without so much as a comment?

#I dunno maybe my heart is just not in it #writing was supposed to be a fun little escape from the pressures as an artist and instead im seeking the same validation #no blame to my readers of course #i know its harder to comment on writing #but even just a little im enjoying this! “I want more! can go a long way #idk im just having a little ramble #fic #bg3 #writers on tumblr

Baldurs Gate 3 main companion/romances kiss headcanons (no Minthara, sorry😞)

Kind of spicy below the cut, but not super detailed. Reader/Tav is gender neutral.

Astarion

- He loves to kiss you, wherever and whenever. Of course, occasionally he whisks you into his arms in the most passionate kiss you’ve ever had, but he prefers the closeness, the intimacy of a sweet, innocent kiss - gently holding your face in his hands as he presses his lips to yours. A simple pleasure he’d never had.

- His favourites places to kiss are your hands, and of course, your neck. He winds his arms tightly around you, breathing in your intoxicating scent, and pressing a chaste kiss to your collarbone. How did he get so lucky?

Wyll

- Ever the romantic, Wyll often saves the best kisses for the nights you spend together. He’ll take your hand, kissing over your palm, up your wrist, before settling it against his face, utterly adoring as he gazes up at you…the sweetest words spill from his lips.

- He loves your lips, soft and plump and sweet. When the party is preoccupied, he’ll tug you behind a tree or a well placed boulder, and eagerly press his lips to yours, hands on the small of your back. He pulls away with a sweet smile, thumb brushing over your lip.

Gale

- Gale is very much a physical guy; he loves to hold you, kiss you, whatever he can get. Of course, he enjoys your occasional romps in the astral plane, but for the most part? He loves smothering you in kisses, and likewise, being smothered back.

- Your forehead is among his favourite places to kiss, along with your tummy… he presses soft kisses to your temple when you walk together, occasionally murmuring sweet nothings against for skin, before pulling away with a smile.

Halsin

- The man is obsessed with the ground you walk on. Anytime he can have his hands on you? He will, pulling you close for a passionate, fiery kiss…no matter who is watching. He loves being tender with you too, pressing kisses to the top of your head when he wraps you in his arms.

- He genuinely cannot get enough of you, and he adores every inch, but he loves pressing soft kisses over the heels of your feet, trailing his lips along your calves, and over your soft thighs, lavishing them in sweet kisses.

Karlach

- Karlach is the queen of kisses. The first few days after her engine was fixed, there was barely a moment her lips weren’t on yours - or another part of your body. She was a little shy at first, but now? She’ll lift you into her arms, spinning you before planting the biggest kiss to your lips.

- Her favourite place to kiss is your tummy, nuzzling her nose against the soft skin there as she breathes you in, pressing chaste kisses over the skin…she loves how you giggle when she does, happily kissing all the way back up your body and to your lips.

Shadowheart

- Shadowheart usually prefers touching with her hands, rather than her lips, much more comfortable with private displays of affections. She loves holding your hand as you cuddle, fingers lazily tracing over your palm, down your wrist…where she presses a soft, sweet kiss.

- When the two of you are alone? Your lips are her sanctuary, and she often loses herself when you press a firm kiss to her lips…she eagerly brings you closer, hands trailing over the small of your back to urge you nearer, desperate for more.

Lae’zel

- Not keen on prying eyes, Lae’zel keeps her affections quiet until you are alone…then she is eagerly pulling you close, hands running over your body, eager to claim you. While she enjoys kissing you? She much prefers to bite, sinking her teeth into soft skin, only to soothe it with her tongue.

- Your neck is her favourite; namely your collarbones. She inhales deeply, breathing you in with a shudder, before pressing rough kisses over your throat, nails digging into your skin.

Growing up, my family was always close.

Until my brother Merlyn left for some fancy magic school. He gave me his familiar, Faust, and said she’d protect me while he was gone.

She became my best friend. We did everything together.

Then one day, the Fist came and spoke to Papa.

He told me Mama was gone… He cried and held me for a long time, and promised he’d protect me.

He said we have to be careful, that I can’t go outside without him. Every time I asked? He said it still wasn’t “safe enough yet”…

…I stopped asking after a few years.

Made a little comic based on my Tav Melana’s backstory. Little context:

She grew up with a tight knit family, and was very close to her brother Merlyn until he left for school (he was a very powerful sorcerer) and left his familiar to her. She filled the hole Merlyn had left, and in turn became Melana’s familiar instead. A few years after Merlyn left, their mother was killed by some thugs. Overcome by grief, their father locked and isolated Melana away from the world in order to protect her. He kept her hidden away for almost 100 years, and at her 100th birthday, she found to courage to run away, leaving Baldurs Gate completely. She stayed with a small Druid circle for the following 20-ish years, and just before the Nautiloid picked her up, she’d been heading back to Baldurs Gate to find her brother and hopefully? Reconcile with her father…only to find out she was too late.

🔥Karlach/Fem!Tav NSFW🔥

Karlach thinks she can handle just cuddling with Tav after getting her engine fixed… she cannot.

promise I’ll have a go at some gender neutral reader/tav soon! Also let me know if yall want a part two???

“Soldier?”

Tav stirred from her sleep, giving a soft grunt as she blinked around in the dim light of her tent. She’d really only just passed and so was admittedly? A little annoyed… until she saw Karlach kneeled in front of her tent, eyes blazing.

“Mmh? What’s up?” She croaked, voice hoarse from sleep… it wasn’t unusual for Karlach to seek her out for comfort in the night…but something felt different. Karlach stared at her, her body almost glowing from the soft flames that engulfed her… she looked more like an animal than a woman as she inched into the tent. Figuratively speaking; of course. (as sexy a concept as werewolf Karlach may be.)

“Everything okay?” Tav asked, quickly sitting up now, worried for her friend. Karlach had only just gotten her engine somewhat fixed, and she half wondered if it had started to play up again. “…Do you- can we-…could we cuddle?” Karlach asked, breathing a little heavy as she settled inside. She knew Tav wouldn’t say no - and if she did, she leave in an instant.

She just needed to be held.

Tav blinked, a little shocked at the request. She’d spent many nights curled up by Karlach’s side, either comforting the other woman or seeking comfort. But they’d never been able to cuddle, or even hug until today…Karlach had squeezed her tight, totally melting into the warm embrace. It had taken her a few minutes to actually let go, apologizing and thanking her all at once.

“…Mmh, sure.” Tav hummed, adjusting on her bedroll, lifting the blankets. Karlach was by her side in seconds, arms winding tightly around her, tail following suit. Tav gave a laugh, snuggling in…the warmth was definitely welcome.

Karlach quickly buried her face in her neck, breathing in her scent. Safe, comforting… home. She felt herself grow hot at the thought, lifting her head to gaze at the sleepy Tav. Her mind raced as she stared her down, the other woman looking a little confused. Right. She likely wasn’t even considering half the things that were rushing through Karlachs mind.

“…Are you okay?” Tav asked, giving a soft laugh as they reached to give her hair a comforting pat. Karlach gave a soft groan in response, leaning into her touch. “Mmhm…” she sighed, flustered as she peered at Tav.

She looked so gorgeous in the soft glow of the lanterns light, her lazy smile, her eyes struggling to stay open… why hadn’t she made a move? Before she could even process, the words were leaving her lips. “Touch me.”

Tav stared at her, a little dumbfounded. “Like- you want me to keep touching your hair, or—“ “Touch me, please. Anywhere.” Karlach begged, feeling utterly helpless; totally at her mercy.

Tav, on the other hand, was totally flushed, her body quickly heating up…Karlachs was, too, blue flames licking at her skin. She felt like molten lava was bubbling in her belly, threatening to spill.

She gave a sigh of relief as Tavs cool hand ran over her cheek, gently caressing her for a moment…before slowly tracing over her neck, Karlach giving a shudder. She took it slow, figuring out exactly what it was Karlach wanted. Of course, she could guess.

“Tav…” her voice came out in a breathy whisper, tinged with desperation and eagerness.

She’d been so desperate for this — hadn’t found the courage to ask Tav out earlier; she wondered now, would it have been worse? Knowing that she could have her, but couldn’t even lay a finger on her? Laying awake at night, knowing that someone was just as desperate to fuck her as she was them?

Karlachs thoughts were interrupted when a hand moved over her chest, slipping under her bra to squeeze at her breast. “Tav, shit…” Karlach sighed out, head falling forward, forehead pressing against hers…they were so close, bodies pressed tightly together.

She gave a loud gasp as fingers massaged her breast, softly pinching at her hardened nipples. “…You have them pierced?” Tav laughed breathlessly, face flushed with her own desire. “High pain tolerance, remember?” Karlach grinned and knocked on her chest, though her cocky demeanour quickly melted away when soft lips wrapped around the sensitive bud, tongue languidly swirling around it.

It was only made worse when Tav settled her knee between her legs, Karlach’s thighs immediately tightening and drawing her closer to her heat. “Tav…” She groaned, fingers running through the other woman’s hair…she desperately wanted to pin her down and fuck her brains out, but Gods, if she didn’t just want to bask in being /touched/.

Her bra was soon fully tugged away, Tav settled directly over her now as she lavished her breasts, fingers massaging whatever she couldn’t fit into her mouth, knee settled firmly between Karlachs legs… her mind was swimming with pure desire, the sleepiness she felt before totally overrun by lust for the tiefling with the heart of gold…well, infernal iron.

Tav slowly pulled away from her breasts, panting hard as she stared down at her, eyes glazed and lidded with lust. “Karlach…” she breathed out, kissing over the scars and tattoos on her chest, down her belly. Karlach took a breath, blue flames licking at her shoulders as she watched her intently, body trembling below her.

Within moments, her pants were being tugged away, and Karlach gave a gasp as kisses were pressed to her thighs, underwear pulled away with her pants. Cold air brushed against her aching heat, but nothing could prepare her for the warmth of Tav’s breath.

”Fuck…” Karlach gasped, body arching into her touch. The anticipation was killing her, and it seemed Tav was intent on taking her sweet time. The woman in question softly kissed at her inner thighs, hands squeezing at soft hips as she gazed up at Karlach, eyes full of desire.

”Are you trying to kill me faster? Because at this rate, Tav, I--” Her words fell into a loud cry as Tav finally pressed a kiss to her heat. That simple gesture almost had Karlach cumming right then and there, she was sure of it. How utterly embarassing.

”…You’re soaked,” Tav whispered, laughing a little breathlessly, face flushed as she gazed up at her. She lifted her hand, using it to gently spread her… swallowing a little at the sight of her hot, wet cunt, and a little surprised by her sizeable clit, erect and eager for her touch.

“Fuck,” She gave a shudder as she leaned in to run her tongue through her folds, Karlach giving another loud cry…it was taking all her strength not to tangle her fingers into Tav’s hair and fuck her face.

Somehow, by a miracle of the Gods? She managed to stay somewhat calm, still lazily bucking against her as Tav wrapped her lips around her clit, groaning against her. “Good girl, Tav, shit…” she breathed, hands tugging softly at her hair. After a moment, Tav adjusted to run her fingers through Karlach’s folds while she lavished her clit, slowly pressing the digits inside her.

Karlach was sure she’d died and gone to the heavens. It had been so long — her thoughts were quickly broken when Tav curled her fingers, fucking her with practiced ease. “Tav, I— Shit..!”

The knot in her stomach quickly grew tighter and tighter, until it finally snapped, her body arching and hands desperately tangling through hair as her orgasm hit… she was seeing stars as Tav slowed to a stop, pulling her fingers away as she lifted her head to gaze at her, hair a mess from Karlach tugging at it.

It had truly taken all of her strength not to squeeze poor Tav’s head between her thighs. She panted hard, breathless and adoring as she lifted her head to gaze down at the woman so sweetly settled between her legs. Tav blinked up at her, head laying against her thigh, pressing sweet kisses to the skin.

Karlach gazed to her, filled to the absolute brim with utter adoration… how had she gotten so lucky, even to just meet her, to be blessed with her friendship? And how, hopefully? Her love. She hoped she wasn’t getting ahead of herself.

“…Was that enough touching?” She grinned, Karlach giving a loud laugh. “…You are ridiculous, Tav. Now, get up here… I want to return the favour.”

Tav’s eyes instantly lit up, and she was desperately scrambling up her body, the two allying back against the bedroll in a tangled mess of limbs. She’d certainly not be getting back to sleep tonight…

to be continued maybe???
