Astarion and Mauria

While technically a scene from Ch9 of Star Crossed, this is who they will always be in my heart. No matter what other directions I might take them in. 💕

✧ ˚ · . About Me: Oh hi! I'm GinaTeeth aka Zaftigg von BonBon. I'm a (mostly) former burlesque/pole performer and instructor and currently mom to a toddler, brand new to a lot of this (tumblr, fanfic, fandoms), and slightly obsessed with Baldur's Gate 3.

I major in Mister Dekarios and minor in Astarion and Jaheira. My writing tends toward kink-positive, intimacy-forward, angsty and crack treated seriously.

Catch Me If You Can: Autumn in New York - upcoming clothing mod

So the reason I learned how to mod was to be self-indulgent and bring outfits from my fics into the game. And I'm finally able to do that, so what better way to inaugurate it than with my pride and joy, Catch Me If You Can. As one friend put it: "I've bled for this fic" and it will always hold a special place in my heart. Because of this story, I have also made some dear friends, the first of whom was @arafel0194 . Our shared love for noir and '50s fashion was the catalyst for our friendship, so I'm very excited to create this mod as part of a collab with her, who has also taught me everything I know.

[lolthwoven]

*gasp* guys, LOOK AT THIS

I'm not even joking, this is so damn good and I haven't been able to stop staring at it 🫪

That linework, that lighting... just unreal. @yevyanko is ridiculously talented and really knocked it out of the park with this one ♥️

No More Words

Rating: Explicit 18+ Pairings: Jaheira/Khalid Summary: Inspired by the nameday note from Khalid found in Jaheira's basement in BG3. Before the Shadows of Amn, before Gorion's end, there was only them. When Jaheira discovers Khalid has been secretly rewriting their life through poetry—erasing every moment his stutter stole from him—she decides words are stealing her husband away. A raw, tender, and explicit exploration of love, acceptance, and living in the imperfect present.

OneShot Word Count: 2,610 Full fic on AO3

A spotless sky with sun to light our way out of shadows, we rise to meet our dawn. I faced you, love, and spoke unblemished, true, that always haunts my waking memory. “By leaf and root, by moon and mortal fire, I pledge my blade, my breath, my quiet faith. As elven hearts have joined through ages deep, so do I bind my days and nights to yours. No shadow, no cruel blade, no whispered doubt shall part what we have planted here in trust.” You answered soft, and all the world grew still.

Jaheira’s thumb worried the dried teardrops on the parchment, tracing a faint circle into the ink. She could almost see him hunched over the page by candlelight, eyes glistening, lips moving silently as he practiced the flawless words. The image made her chest ache with fierce, protective love.

This was the fifth poem she had found. A reimagining of their wedding day and his vows, unmarred by the exhausting physicality of verbal blocks and repetitions.

The first one, discovered months ago beside a dying campfire, had been a revision of one of their fiercest arguments about the Harpers. She had treasured it then—a rare, unfiltered window into his beautiful mind. But by the third, the pattern had become impossible to ignore.

Her gentle warrior, her quiet storm, her blushing blade was rewriting their history wherever his tongue had failed him, gilding every imperfect moment in false, painless sunlight.

That third poem—the night he first tried to tell her he loved her—had lodged in her like a thorn. In Khalid’s version, the words flowed effortlessly under starlight, his body entwined with hers. In reality, he had trembled against her, mouth opening and closing, the declaration dying into frustrated silence until he hid his face in her neck. She had held him then, patient, aching for him, and whispered that she already knew.

Were it not for the struggle, his blocks and stammers wouldn’t have bothered her in the slightest. If anything, he was her reminder, as if from Silvanus himself, to slow down and listen.

But the sixth poem was what finally drove her to act—the one that reached forward into a future they had not yet earned.

WIP Wednesday

Thank you for the tags, @optimisticgrey, @archduchessgortash, @burnt-by-marigolds, @scoldingdarjeeling, @perpetuallymaladaptivedaydream, and @gortashsrighthand!

In turn, gentle tags for @endermal @lilhumanoid @cinder-rellish181 @chaushaus @elceewunjo @spillingteanotpermitted @litsenn @theya-art @lucretiouswept @bladesingerlily @careful-l-bite @cursed-nyxan @riddlerosehearts @lottavilja and @r3drozebud.

I've been so swamped with work and life stuff that finding enough solid chunks of time to get writing has been tough the last week or so, leaving me mostly fiddling around with VP projects since I can pick at them here and there. This is a duo of pics I did up for a writing exercise I'm working on that will be accompanied by a written "audition tape" of Miss Fortune's video audition to Lucretious's Drag Race for an eventual drag race modern AU fic in very VERY early development.

Putting them under the cut as the first one contains CW: derogatory terms/insults for LGBTQIA+ folks, sex trafficked persons, and sex workers (as part of a larger message being made)

If you'd like to be added/removed from my tag list for WIP games, let me know here. Always a struggle worrying if I'm spamming or excluding folks unintentionally.

Well, this is awkward - Part 1

This is why you never give the chaotic's time to get bored...🤭

Poor Astarion is going to have a nervous breakdown keeping Ishta alive long enough to reach Baldur’s Gate.
