the girlies really do be logging in after their professional day jobs to write 20,000 words about their fave fictional raccoon man and it's very important to support that, it's called the duality of woman and must be celebrated at all costs ok

Doomed siblings enjoyers when the one that dedicated their whole life to trying to live up to their parents is still worse at it than their sibling who spent their whole life rejecting them

Durgetash Week 2025 Day 3: Fighting as Foreplay (NSFW) - @bloodsweatandtyranny

Summary: Conflict within the Temple of Bhaal leaves Theron seeking clarity and peace. When he finds himself at the doorstep of Gortash's home one night, will the Banite give him the refuge he so seeks?

Notes: This fic is for Day 3 of bloodsweatandtyranny's Durgetash Week event on Tumblr: Fighting as Foreplay (NSFW). My take on it was them doing a bit of sparring. Also, I was very much inspired by darkurgediaries' headcanon/theory on Tumblr about Stillmaker. I love the take on that so much enough that I wondered how this might come to be with my Durge and Gortash. I know that Stillmaker technically has other abilities, including having paralyzing poison, but I'm working under the theory that those aspects were added onto it later. And as of now, Stillmaker is just a gifted blade without a name.

Snippet:

Their sparring came to a thrilling end once Theron exploited an opening. He redirected Gortash’s force and successfully disarmed him. In the approach, Theron broke his balance and knocked him roughly to the ground. The blade clattered at his side and Gortash looked up to see Theron looming over him now, golden eyes glowing with bloodlust in the warm light. His boot came to Gortash’s neck, pinning him down onto the floor firmly and decisively.

His Urge whispered…

With just the right twist of his foot, his trachea would crumple under the force and his fragile human neck would snap. Gortash watched from below curiously, a hand falling onto Theron’s calf. Theron took him in as he was now, noting a sparkle in his gaze. Gortash glistened with a thin sheen of sweat across his body, his tank clung to him in a way that defined his torso underneath, and his lips parted as if he meant to speak. The thrum of his Urge easily fell away as a whole new set of emotions took hold of him now.

Summary: News of the latest Bhaalist cult leader's rise to power reaches Gortash and inspires him to seek his partnership.

Notes: This is my entry for Day 1 of bloodsweatandtyranny's Durgetash Week event on Tumblr: First Impressions. I'm so happy this little event is happening because it actually gave me the push I needed to finish some of the fics I've been having sitting around for a while :)

The sky that night was clear. Stars danced in the heavens above, and the full moon illuminated much of the path around him, making him forgo a lantern. There were still some very dark areas ahead of him though, where buildings shadowed over and provided the perfect cloak for anyone working to its advantage. This is where Gortash stood now, in the middle of a narrow, empty pathway straddled between several closed shops and residentials.

He was unafraid as he heard the struggle and shuffle ahead, for he was there with a purpose and would not be swayed from it. Furthermore, he had come prepared for any potential confrontation as he kept his crossbow at his back and carried a dagger at his side. Either way, how could this possibly compare to having gone through hell and back literally? There was very little he feared in this world, and a so-called “Bhaalspawn” did not make the cut.

Gortash waited for some time, almost tempted to stride right towards the scream’s direction. Just as he’d made up his mind, he heard the slow, deliberate thud of boots coming down upon stone. Someone was at last approaching him, and Gortash grinned as the individual stepped into the moonlight.

From an initial onceover, Gortash knew this had to be him...

What I might like most about durgetash—at least my take on durgetash—is the idea that no matter how selfish and destructive someone becomes, the desire for human connection remains. Even if you try and fight it. It sounds sentimental, but I do think it’s true.
