✨Hi Darling!✨

I am Hanna. Two years in, still lost in the Baldur's Gate brainrot.

If you are a follower/moot, please let me know if you want to be part of ✨the tag crew✨

I write about Gale, Halsin, my redeemed Dark Urge Celeste, love, acceptance and polyamory. And angst. Lots and lots of angst.

And the occasional smut, neatly collected in....

You played a lot of BG3 and dreamed a lot about the wizard. A little too much. Right?

I have known you ⬩ Gale x you ⬩ one-shot

I love(d) working on this and hope to keep it updated. I found the prompt via @optimisticgrey and their feed. :) I guess I should write their bio now, yes?

What a fantastic and funny idea @bhaal-battle-beer-bard! ╰(*°▽°*)╯ Thank you so much for tagging me. You can find the original post here.

Rules BG3 tag game: Create a VP of your Tav as the superhero or villain that suits them best. Tag your friends, challenge them to a vs. or decide who would win a fight between your own Tavs. Have fun! rules: tag @bhaal-battle-beer-bard! as the OG creator, and link to the original post here!

I’m a bit late to the party and not entirely up to date, since I’m currently taking more or less a break from the BG3 fandom.

A Marvel comics fan myself, one of my favourite superheroes is Ororo Munroe—Storm from the X-Men.

I think most people have already done this, so I’ll leave it as an Open Tag. <3

big shoutout to @perpetualmaladaptivedaydream, an extremely kind, creative, and hilarious person of incredible talent. A blessing she be to the dash and the community at large.

hi! @rdekarios is very kind, has wonderful pose mods and takes beautiful VP. One of my favorite people in the fandom.

@wildmagickatie ‘s renders are absolutely delicious , a work of art 👌.

Both of them are gifts to the Galemancer community, terrific people to have around. I hope they keep creating so we can keep (disrespectfully) looking at the wizard

Love me some @bladesingerlily

Hell is empty and all the Devils are here Book One: Dawn

Chapter 9

I followed her willingly—into the warmth of the bath she had prepared, into her embrace, and later into her bed—and the details themselves matter less now than what I discovered there, which was not desire, since I had known desire for years, and not pleasure, since that too was familiar, but love. Affection, and the realization that intimacy could exist without urgency and without conquest and without either person attempting to prove anything at all. Two people could simply be present with one another and find it fulfilling.

As you are so clued in with the BG3 world, I was curious if you could recommend any fics or writers to read. Preferably Gale/Tav or OC. I don't mind genders but I dont want bloodweave

Im a bit of a sub for angst and no comfort

Hewwo :3 Ahh, thank you for asking <3

Ok, full disclosure: I am “the other wizard” girlie 🤣, so I am not actively seeking out Gale-centered fics 😅 BUT I follow many people who are writing about Gale, so I can recommend them for sure! Unfortunately, I didn’t get to reading all of their works yet, AND MOOTIES, I AM SO SORRY FOR THAT 🥺, but I went through them and gathered information on their works for you :3 For some of the them, I began reading snippets or newer works, and I definitely might be missing out on some of their older works :( But honestly, like, I am 1000% sure their writing is good even if I haven’t started reading their works yet, and you, anon, can choose for yourself whose style you prefer :3

This is also an invitation for mooties and ANYONE really to reblog and add your list of Gale writers for the anon <3

@optimisticgrey For ME, this is the first Gale writer that comes to mind, as I’ve read their works the most :3 You can check the full master post here, but there’s one fic in particular I read in preparation for this question because I’ve been eyeing that one for a while. It is “In the wake of your departure”. OH MAN, this is such a great hurt angst, as a Gale fan, you will be left gutted for sure! And I also loved the “I have known you”, I wouldn’t say it’s SAD sad, but likee… you do feel your heart tingling at the scenario :(((

@warmsummersday “In every universe“ OH MY GOD. I’ve read it so long ago, and I still remember it, it hurt me. :( It is short, but it made me cry hardcore at the scenario. Also, they have a longer fic “Don't forget me”, if you want moarr from them :3

@deianestormborn , a newbie (affectionately <3333), but I know you can expect great things from them <3 Please check the whole AO3, it has HAWT smuts, HOWEVER, considering you need sadder/angstier, I really liked the “Golden hour” - bittersweet and very tender for sure :3

@alpydk has a big collection of Gale works, including great angst and interesting ships! <333

@bhaal-battle-beer-bard - turns out my dearest also has a Gale fic!! I love their writing so much, you will definitely enjoy! <33 Gale x FTav, angst, hurt, sadness "Visions of Gale".

@cep-stories "Threads of fate" - angsty and fluffy Gale x Ftav :3 Also pre-canon, definitely an interesting setting!

@carnivaley "Terms of affection", Gale x F drow bard, and has elemets of angst + pretend relationships, like??? that's cool af!

@heartsong94 has both lighter and darker stories which are very vast, M!Durge x Gale <3, includes post-epilogue sneaky God!Gale content. :3

@renofdragons has a great collection of Gale pairings with other characters, including Karlach, Halsin, Wyll, Astarion AND Rolan wewewwwww :3

@gortashsrighthand "Gale's folly" with dark Gale?? Oh hell yeah! On my reading list! But check their complete mastepost for Gale as well, very versatile.

@sol-el writes Gale and MTav, their writing style is etherial and stories are quite unique <3

@shewolfofvilnius and their great, unique fic with Gale x Lia (yesssss, the queen!!!). Fluffy, has angst, and goes unexpected places for sure! <333

@rdekarios - certainly on a sweeter side, but still very worth to check their AO3, because I know for a fact that their Tav, Seraphina, is absolutely lovely!

I cannot NOT mention dearest @kimberbohwrites , who apparently cheats on OUR wizard with Gale :P They have 2 delicious stories with Gale x FTav! "The raven's risk" and "Mistake by Moonrise".

@perpetualmaladaptivedaydream and their AO3 with shorter stories about Gale/Tav, but it has a lot: angst, yearning, sexy times, fluff, and more! <3

@saylofwaterdeep has an absolute goldmine of FDurge x Gale writings, has mystery, dynamic plot lines, and even horror! :3

@asorceresswrites -another great, versatile collection with angsty and sweet stories :3 FTav/Gale

@ashprince-of-bel-air writes a lot about different characters, including Gale <3 Check the full masterpost, their writing is so tight! <3

OK, I think that's it. If I missed someone, please let me know <333
