Like moons make swell and wane the nescient seas, so too the sky-strewn gods ordain the tidal fates of mortal days.

And yet - a notion born in lonely hours - come ebb, come flow, come all that is beyond the breadth of our dominion: be a moon unto yourself.

Even the waves of fate can break upon the shores of will.

Confession: Foursome with all three of Mysta's Boys (Gale, Volo, Elminster). Partly for me (mostly for me), and partly just to piss her off as much as possible. By the time we're done, none of them are even going to remember her name.

Also I'm like 98% sure someone at the pet shelter plays bg3 because they have cats called Wyll, Jaheira and Elminster.

I started out just wanting to write a "Modern Girl in Faerun" author self-insert fanfic of BG3 in the tradition of all the "Modern Girl in Thedas" fanfics I've enjoyed over the years in the Dragon Age fandom. You know, someone who has played the game gets transported to the world of the game and uses her foreknowledge of events to steer for the best ending and pursue her favorite romance, yadda yadda yadda.

And then I thought, oh, I should also write a sequel from Gale's perspective that runs parallel to the first story that's about him trying to figure out if she's just crazy or what.

I decided that while my MGIF character will be successful in using her foreknowledge of events to achieve the best or even better outcomes for the main events of the game, it would be hilarious if that same foreknowledge of events also led to her inadvertently flubbing every single scripted romance progression scene with Gale so that it ends up being an even slower burn than canon.

Meanwhile, most of the companions (including Gale) don't believe her story about how they're fictional characters in an interactive story she's played as a game because there are so many other plausible in-world explanations for why someone would have her foreknowledge of events. So Gale thinks she's mentally unwell, and he struggles with the ethics of pursuing a romantic relationship with someone whose interest in him is at least partially predicated on (what he believes to be) delusions.

It works out in the end, but Gale's perspective of what the fuck is going on is so divergent from hers that it would be a fundamentally different narrative.

And then as I was researching Forgotten Realms lore for the first set of stories, I realized it would be hilarious if I wrote a post-canon sequel about Gale and the MCIF trying to plan their wedding in Waterdeep while the events of the D&D modules Dragon Heist and Dungeon of the Mad Mage are unfolding in the background.

And then while I was researching stuff for that, I learned that it's Forgotten Realms canon that Elminster knows about Earth, has a portal to Ed Greenwood's house, and regularly visits Ed and few other D&D authors to give them more lore to write about.

So then I realize that while the Elminster we meet during BG3 is actually a Simulacrum and thus wouldn't be privy to anything Elminster didn't think it needed to know for its mission, presumably the real Elminster would show up for Gale's wedding. So if Gale happened to mention his new wife's unfortunate "delusions" to Elminster, Elminster could rock Gale's world by confirming no she's been right all along. Thank you, Elminster, for the best gift a bride could ever receive: the opportunity to say "I TOLD YOU SO!" to her husband. Lol.

And then I thought if Elminster has a portal to Ed's house in Toronto, what if Gale and the MCIF eventually used that portal to flee to Earth for some reason? Either to escape the reach of Mystra, or maybe because their child has a condition that's treatable on Earth but not with Faerun magic/medicine ala Outlander?

Then we could have another story in the series that's a reversal of the first story's trope -- a "Faerun Character in Modern Earth" story of Gale going through culture shock while also losing his connection to the Weave and thus losing all his wizard powers AGAIN. Mmmm angsty.

This is my first time writing fanfic, I've only written a fraction of the first story so far, and I've already come up with at least three sequels I need to write too.

What.

The.

Fuck.

I now fully understand what fanfic authors mean when they cry about "the plot bunnies are multiplying."

Gale: “I can’t believe Elminster said Mystra told me to kms :’( … Tav?”

My Tav, muttering to themself around the camp: “‘Even the waves of fate can break upon the shores of will,’ did you hear that part? Elminster’s out here dropping straight bars over a plate of cheese and wine. ‘She’s considering what she considers forgiveness’ someone get me a notepad right now I gotta write this down-”

[lunarreverb]

So incidentally I found out today that the Elminster that shows up to your camp is some kind of projection or simulacrum wizard? I guess if you examine him, he’s a ‘level 1 construct’ instead of a ‘human’, and if you battle him in camp (by switching to another character that’s not in conversation with him and aggroing him), he leaves a puddle instead of a corpse.

And it makes sense that he might use his wizard powers instead of making the actual trip, but then why lie about it and make a fuss over his walking a long time? How does it eat all the cheese? Is it just a better, more creepily accurate copy of him than Gale’s Mirror Image? Does it think it’s the real him?

Or, am I reading too much into the game mechanics of this, and should I instead assume Elminster is really there himself, and only switches out with a decoy wizard if you attack him?

Tricksy wizards…
