I've seen that sparkle in your eye, that extra I-don't-know-what. Even a blind derro couldn't miss it.

I know people tend to forget Wyll a lot in this fandom (I wonder why. What Could Possibly Be Different. Can you spot the difference?/s) but I'm genuinely surprised at the lack of Durge x Wyll content. Especially if you're going Redeemed, there's that inherent flavor of "My lover cannot know the truth, I am horrible and they would hate me, they would be correct to hate me." And with Wyll it's just... so juicy, he's so pure and shining, and Durge is so filled with filth and misery that there's barely a person left underneath.

Idk, as a femme romance reader I've spent so many years reading the "love redeems" arc where a FMC plays beauty to an MMC beast, in every genre, medium, budget, etc. I'm not here to yuck anyone's yum, but beauty and the beast as a story structure has never done it for me.

until it's reversed, apparently, because Wyll as the beauty to Durge's beast needs to be injected directly into my veins like yesterday. All the other companions are good and sweet, don't get me wrong, but their reactions are coded like 'i accept you,' where Wyll to me comes off much more as 'we will heal you.' He doesn't have any funny little quips about you trying to bite him, no innuendos, no "I Will Put You Down" a la Laezel, he's just... so good, and he believes in your inherent goodness, he so easily sees "you" and "your urges" as wholly seperate entities he would step between if he could.

Speaking of which!! The coronation scene, when everyone finds out you're Bhaalspawn? I never see anyone talking about Wyll's reaction compared to other companions getting angry (even Dark Shadowheart will yell at you) because Wyll seems to be the ONLY PERSON who immediately separates you(the person he knows) from you(the person you used to be). Astarion isn't angry, he even appreciates your scheme freeing him from Cazador, but he also kinda falls into the whole "I will talk to you as if you are the exact same person who did these things, this is Your True Nature and I feel positive about it."

Wyll's reaction feels like the only one saying "You WERE that," instead of "You ARE that." It also feels like the only one that kinda-sorta acknowledges Durge's actual amnesia, because he doesn't treat this revelation like a betrayal the way the other "good" companions do. They be saying "The real evil was hiding within our ranks all along" like wym hiding? Durge didn't know either, how tf they supposed to tell you?

Wyll doesn't even blink. Once he knows what you are, his No.1 priority is reassuring YOU about it. The fact you're Bhaalspawn isn't a betrayal; it's a Horrible Burden and he's sorry you have to bear it, but there have been others like you who were good, who overcame, and your blood isn't who you are. His first instinct is to offer hope, to reassure you that there's a way out, he believes so hard that your urges are a defeatable enemy and he's ready to fight them with you.

(I also fall into the Durge And Gortash Fucked camp, and I cannot overstate the tastiness of Durge waltzing into the coronation of their ex, the Worst Man Alive, while bringing along their new boyfriend, the Best Man Alive)

Idk, I've just never engaged in a romance where I played the part of the Beast. As much as people rag on pure, princely archetypes, I don't actually see them that often. I genuinely don't remember the last time I read/saw a male lead behave like Wyll, but I've seen plenty of Astarions, Fenrises, Rhysands, etc. Romance loves a fixable MMC, but so rarely an MMC who wants to do the fixing.

Anyway. Justice for Wyll or whatever. I can only cross my fingers that future DLC will include more romance content, because we all deserve to have a Beauty for our Beast sometimes.

maybe I'm just gay and caffeinated but god. durgewyll story of all time you are the prodigal child you love your father and he asks things of you you'll never be able to live up to.

your father loves you and he demands your life for it. you love your father and it drives you to destroy yourself. you love your father and you sell your soul for the principles he taught you. you destroy yourself and he abandons you. you sell your soul and he exiles you.

you love your father and you would forgive him anything and he will forgive you nothing; any grace you might earn evaporates at the first human failure. your father made you in his image and then he broke the mirror.

wyll lives in the shadow of his father's rejection and his mother's death, and still he quotes him, lives by his teachings, admires him, holds him up as an ideal. the dark urge tried to end the world for bhaal and he took their murder as sacrifice just as readily as any other's, and they spend most of the game desperately clawing back their memories of him - touched by his ideal, whether resisting or not, no choice in the matter.

both of you brought up to your specific purpose, both of you having that purpose snatched away and subverted before you can fulfil it. children brought up to fit in specific roles, unable to return to the fold, unable to shake it off entirely. no wonder you cling to each other.

and of course you're both doomed - except you can save yourselves, at the cost of losing your father.

Dark Urge: Your blood will clot for me like liquid rubies.

Wyll: You are a champion. If this foe demands blood, then tear off its limbs and let it drink its own!

durgewyll is soooo crazy. wyll just looks at bhaal's chosen, a person who has committed countless cruelties and atrocities and says, "you have good deep down, i believe in you." and hes right.

A kind of intimacy

Nobody asked me to elaborate, but I will anyways: So Nightshade wasn't literate for the longest time, she only learned to read within the last 10 or so years (which if you age like a dnd elf really isn't very long at all. I think), and it still isn't her strongest suit. I don't think it would be a source of shame for her, just frustrating, she's a bard, she loves stories, she WANTS to read! And then in Wyll's case, we only really have that one conversation with Shadowheart, but he generally gives me the vibes of an avid reader, so I like to think he'd read to Nightshade. They'd bond over silly erotica or romance novels as well, but Nightshade's just happy to be listening to his voice.

Also important: I think it's so silly how Bhaal tries to make the dark urge kill their lover once and if they don't he just. gives up on it? So none of that, Nightshade has to fight the urge to kill not only Wyll but probably all of her friends at all times, and she especially doesn't trust herself to get physically close to them (which sucks for her, since her primary love language is physical touch ueueue). So I imagine this would be one of the main ways for her and Wyll to still spend time together during acts 2 and 3!

AND ANOTHER THING about Durgewyll, because it deserves its own post.

I love love LOVE the pre-tadpole Durge having a thing with Gortash, and post-tadpole falling in love with Wyll. The absolute Cosmic Leap between those two men. Literally going straight from The Worst Man Ever to The Best Man Ever. Both Wyll and Gortash getting whiplash when they realize their lover’s “other type.” They can’t even process jealousy because they’re just… so baffled. Both of them be like, “This guy? Really?? You’re into THAT??? This is the bottom of the barrel, Durge, like what. You’re so much better than him.”

An Durge just “Idk idk what’s going on, I Am Lobotomized and I Want To Leave, I cannot handle this”
