2, 6 (someone from their past? Maybe companions you happen to like together? :O) 10, 20 & 28 for Aurel x Wyll :3

heheheeee thank you ♥

Any sleep habits either had to get used to?

Any sleeping arrangements between an elf and a human is already going to be interesting, simply because elves go into a meditative trance instead of sleeping. I take this to mean that Aurel is semi-aware of his surroundings while he goes into that sleep-like trance, so he's a much lighter "sleeper" than Wyll is. And because elves really only need to fall into this trance for 4 hours a day, this usually means that Aurel is both the last to fall asleep and the first to wake up. Which is probably for the best. Aurel is also a dhampir, and dhampirs do not need to breathe, and I am sure Wyll has woken up, half aware of his surroundings, and found Aurel lying next to him cold and not breathing and nearly had a heart attack because of it.

BUT on days when Wyll doesn't wake up early and momentarily forget that Aurel not breathing is okay, I like to think this means that Aurel wakes up early to surprise Wyll with breakfast quite often. Or sometimes snuggles.

I also headcanon that, due to his dhampir nature, Aurel runs a bit cooler than Wyll - especially post devil transformation, being dragged through the Hells probably made that man a humanoid furnace rivaled only by Karlach - so the blanket situation is probably a small point of contention. It usually ends with Aurel absolutely COCOONED in blankets while Wyll's still lying there completely warm. But then on hotter nights Wyll cuddles with Aurel to keep cool, and then on colder nights Aurel can cuddle with Wyll to keep warm. <3

Double Date? Thoughts? Who?

Ok. I don't really have any "canon" pairings between the other companions in Aurel's worldstate (I have a hard time picking favorite pairings w the origin companions bcs i think they all work so well together. i have too much fun smushing them together like barbies), but I think the absolute FUNNIEST option for a double date here is with Lae'zel/Shadowheart. Wyll earnestly thinks this is a good idea. Aurel is fairly certain this is a bad idea but Wyll wants to so he's agreeing. Shadowheart KNOWS this is a bad idea but thinks it'll be funny. Lae'zel begrudgingly goes along. She is endlessly annoyed by Aurel and Wyll spouting poetic nonsense and making puppydog eyes at each other across the table because she and Shadowheart primarily flirt by getting into knife fights. I am sure a fight will eventually break out somehow by the end of this - not between the two couples, but just because violence follows this group.

2nd funniest option is Aurel and Wyll with Lae'zel and Gale. Because now you've got a THIRD poetry nerd there and Lae'zel is simmering there half in annoyance half with fondness she DOESN'T want to admit but these are in fact her nerds. 🙄 Also you know Gale starts to rattle off some theorem and Lae'zel goes "well now i can't not fuck him" and yanks him off somewhere leaving Aurel and Wyll by themselves.

either way. double date failed i'm pretty sure.

How do they deal with the other’s family?

Aurel was SO TORN when he first met Ulder Ravengard. He had a fairly low opinion of the man from Wyll's stories, but held back his opinion for the sake of Wyll. After the rescue from the Iron Throne and Ulder continued to treat Wyll with disdain, Aurel was still extremely displeased with the man, but - knowing how important his own relationship with his father was - put all that aside to try and mend their relationship.

Even after Wyll and Ulder reconciled, Aurel - though he was happy to see Wyll on good terms with his father - was still fairly distant and cold with Ulder. He didn't know what to make of the man, except he was certain that, if pressed again, Ulder would again choose Baldur's Gate over Wyll. It wasn't until after Wyll proposed that Aurel went "oh....oh that's going to be my father-in-law" that he softened in opinion, and then began to earnestly try to make a connection with him. And because Aurel is a well-mannered young man of noble bearing who also had a GREAT many good deeds under his belt by this point, I think Ulder approved of Aurel as a match for his son.

But then, of course, there is Aurel's father.

(assuming this happens in a universe where Aurel DOESN'T become an illithid bcs that would add a whole other layer to this complication)

Aurel would be ecstatic to introduce Wyll to Dragomir - he knows his dad would love him, and he REPEATEDLY assures Wyll of this fact. "Oh he can look quite intimidating but I assure you he's such a softie on the inside!"

Wyll probably has some reservations about meeting this ancient true vampire - especially after their encounter with Cazador - but he trusts Aurel would never bring him somewhere if he thought he would come to harm. He's most concerned about how Dragomir will react to his status as a monster hunter, but once they do meet, Wyll is very quickly assuaged of all concerns. Dragomir - though quite reserved - is delighted Aurel has found someone, and he very quickly decides he likes Wyll. He can tell Wyll care for Aurel just as much as Aurel does for him, and the monster hunter thing barely phases him. "Are you planning on killing me or my son?" "No, of course not!" "Then there is no issue." Also Dragomir has absolutely had his own romantic encounters with monster hunters in the past, which he casually brings up at one point during a dinner with Aurel and Wyll and Aurel immediately goes "Papa please stop telling us about your romantic exploits." Wyll thinks it's hilarious.

I think the biggest potential hiccup would be how Ulder Ravengard and Dragomir react to each other. With how chaotic everything is with the Netherbrain, Aurel and Wyll don't have time to really bring Ulder up to speed on the fact that Wyll has engaged himself to a dhampir, and one whose vampire father is still alive and also very much involved in Aurel's life. Though I like to think Ulder would not be so quick to judge - considering the last time he did so, he became estranged from his son for 7 years - I do think he would look on at a dhampir (and possibly a true vampire) getting close to his son with suspicion. Aurel has proved himself to be trustworthy, but his father...? I think Ulder would have quite a few reservations about Dragomir.

Most cuddly?

Aurel, by far. Zero contest here actually. He gets SOOO clingy. He wants to hold Wyll's hand, he wants to snuggle up against him by the campfire. He will hug him from behind and then smooch him in the middle of a crowd. I mentioned how he only needs 4 hours of sleep and yet he will happily lay in bed for another 4 hours just because it means he gets to snuggle Wyll. He gets a little too tipsy at camp one night and then he just plops himself down on Wyll's lap in front of EVERYONE and you know the others teased him relentlessly about that the next day.

Wyll is slightly more reserved with physical affection, but that's mostly because Aurel initiates it 95% of the time anyways. He loves it, and he finds it so so endearing how touchy Aurel is. And on the rare occasion where Aurel doesn't beat him to the hand-holding or the cheek smooch, Wyll likes to sneak in with a hug or a kiss and Aurel absolutely melts.

Who takes the longest getting ready to leave?

Aurel and Wyll both take very good care of their appearances but Aurel has quite a few more steps in his usual morning routine. That eyeliner requires precision.

But when it comes to formal events? Oh they both take AGES. Because they're not just taking care of themselves, they're also helping each other. Aurel asking Wyll for his opinion on whether to wear the cravat or to show a tasteful amount of collarbone, Wyll asking Aurel for what accessories to put on his horns (and probably requiring some assistance with that as well), fixing each other's overcoats and getting distracted over and over again by saying "Oh you look so dashing my dear, I'll have to fight off swarms of admirers if I want to dance with you" "Please, no one will be looking at me while I have the most dazzling star from the heavens on my arm" etc etc.
