Beginning May 2026 join the month-long BG3 fanworks event celebrating all things floral to bring in spring! From tender bouquets to deadly petals, crack AUs where your tadfools are literally garden plants, and everything in between. Fanfic, fanart, edits, and anything in between are all welcome.
All pairings or no pairings are welcome.
Should go without saying but we are an AI free community event

Everything is up to interpretation - but here are a few descriptions to get your noggin runnin'. Looking forward to seeing everyone's works. <3
May 1 & 2 — "Wildflower" — Dealers choice, your floral themed wildcard.
Week 1 — In Bloom
Weeds — Light them up or pull them out but make it yours.
Floral Fest — Bring in spring with a festival: cherry blossoms, tulips, or any seasonal celebrations in full color.
Pollination — The birds, the bees, and the creatures spreading the pollen and nectar… through any means.
Flower Symbols and Representation — Let the flowers talk; every bloom, color and thorn means something,
Week 2 — Dark Florals
Pushing Daisies — Act of dying, grave sites, and the flowers left behind for the dead.
Deadly Petals — Beautiful but lethal; carnivorous, toxic, and dangerous blooms. (Sussur flower welcome!)
Take a gander, feast your eyes, and get creative! Open to any ship!
As stated before, you can do a mix of your choice as a creator and provided prompt, go with the pre-existing prompt or just do your style! (small edit: this was on me for forgetting - it's omegaverse for the alpha top prompt. I was very silly and forgot to add)
I want to give a big thanks to @kalaidekalou and @queen-of-the-dots for helping with prompts and giving advice as this is baby's first event lol
Here's the AO3 collection: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/Top_Gale_Week2026
I can't wait to see what everyone will create! Be sure to tag # topgaleweek on BlueSky for any art and fic sharing! I'll be doing my best to keep an eye in the tags, but probably the best way for me to see art pieces is to simply tag this blog on Tumblr!
It's been wonderful to see the love for this event!
More than excited to share the prompts with you (literally want to share early, but promises promises 🤭)!
Here's how it's going to go for prompts:
There will be the main theme for that day, and a pre-selected prompt and a creator's choice! So if you'd wanna add a bit more to the provided prompt with whatever you want to add in, or want to stick with the prompt, or go your own way, all of that is up to YOU!
Can't wait to see what you come up with once the prompts are released!
Top/Dom Gale needs more love, and it's amazing to see the support! Thank you!
I finished the last piece for #BG3MayFlowers (on my NSFW alt) for the Wildflower prompt.
What do you do with a tense wizard set to explode? You take him to an anti-magic tree, remove any armor, and hope that you cleared out all the hook horrors.
(There's gonna be a comic to go with this >:3, just some fun non-canon stuff for Thorn's story to examine their dynamic when they aren't in love and also aren't aware of the very imminent Nether-brain threat)
Blergh, next piece of #BG3MayFlowers with Lae'zel waking up after a night of passion, with some flowers that fell onto her as she slept, fulfilling the "Adorned with Flowers" prompt.
...every time I have to draw a BG3 character nude, I have to double check bush status.
a slightly late entry to week 4 of @bg3mayflowers for the prompt:
Adorned in Flora
Peonies for resilience and chrysanthemums for endings and new beginnings. This was supposed to be a quick one and then I went a little too hard on the tattoo lol
I can see why Ketheric had so much trouble. Aylin adheres to no man, and that includes me trying to render her.
This piece is based off of Don Bluth's adaptation of "Thumbelina", where a young woman is born from a magical flower, falls in love, is separated from her mother, proceeds to deal with a bunch of men who do not listen, and is reunited with her winged love who she previously thought was dead (EHH???? EHHHH?????)
NSFW entry for #BG3MayFlowers "Folklore and Flora"
This piece is based on the myth of Narcissus (note: this is not meant to be speculation on whether or not Astarion has NPD, moreso the focus on reflection and identity) Also Asstarion, heheheheheheheheh
THIS. She is the ULTIMATE representation of Fool's Flower. This shape shifting baddie. She's either a shroom disguised as a flower or one of those meat stanky smelling flowers. 🤣
Well well well...you're about to be annoyed with me for some of these things that I was tagged in *cough*monthsago*cough*
But! I neglected to ever post any of my Dead Gale fics, which is a shame because I loved* them! And I did some other events! So I'll organize by event and numbers. And then one random one...
*Ok just not all of them, but some are my babies.
Thanks @patheticfangirl and @nyxueaurelia for the tags.
Rule: List the first line of your last 10 fics (posted or WIP) and see if there’s a pattern. If you don’t have 10 fics, then as many first lines as you do have.
BG3 May Flowers
1. Astarion hummed while setting up the familiar circle and sigils on the ground, grateful that Gale was kind enough to set up a teleportation circle in the Underdark before he moved back to Waterdeep. But We're Sunflowers in the Rain
My WIP That I Never Remember Teehee
2. "Ah, there go the first escapees of the night," Astarion smirks into his goblet. I Thought I Was Someone Else
EG Stick Fics 2026
3. "Ugh, Selûnites." Réponds à ma tendresse (omg, a non-BW fic!)
Dead Gale Week
4. "That's it!" Gale exclaims. He Is The Messiah
5. She holds out the gilded dagger, an unassuming blade imbued with untold power. The Golden Age (my labor of love <3)
6. "I was cursed with hanahaki disease? What is that?" Gale asks, walking back to camp. Flower Power
7. Gale is barely coherent when his companions come to rescue him from Orin. Victory Ride
8. How dare she cast me out after everything we went through? Break Your Soul Apart
9. She prowls the cage, watching, waiting. Kitten Thinks of Nothing But Murder All Day
10. "This is our guest, Gale of Waterdeep. He will be staying with us," Cazador announced. You Just Don't Know It Yet, But You Love Me And I Love You The Same (a rare dead dove from me)
Well there it is. Consider this an opportunity to tag yourself and post your 10 fics if you're so inclined.
