Hero worship.
Or, the fey-touched bard who saved a city stays to help Jaheira rebuild and realizes that the nice young man she helped out of a tight spot at Danthelon’s is spending far more time dropping in at the High Harper’s house than strictly necessary.
OC Book Cover: "Her Harper, His Sufferer"
I want to thank @perpetualmaladaptivedaydream for creating this wonderful tag game (here's their original post) and for tagging me, as well as getting tagged by the amazing @deianestormborn, @tynithia, @cep-stories, @spillingteanotpermitted, @dynamicducks, @carnivaley, @thesanguinesonnet, @rdekarios, @litsenn, @saylofwaterdeep, @andromedaancunin, @grandninjamasterren, @cinder-rellish181 - the serious talent all of y'all possess is just....gosh, wow. I feel very grateful to be tagged so I can admire it 😌🥰
As per usual, I am quite slow with these but I'm happy to share what I came up with 😊 Right now, I'm completely burned out from caregiver fatigue and just brutal, bleak, surreal grief. So having this tag game to pour some of my emotions into was really therapeutic for me ❤️ The Silmarillion is my favorite book and I thought it would be fun to come up with a version of one of its covers for Her Harper, His Sufferer. Although I don't have VP of them on the cover like others did, the image in the center represents Elminster the Tree, a key "figure" in the story, and Geraldus (left) and Nienna (right). The elvish text are real lines from the story that I used the Tengwar Feanor Elvish Transcriber for. Not sure how accurate the translator/text is, but I had so much fun finding all the resources and uploading the fonts to Canva, etc. (Note: edited this after posting as I realized the circular elvish was overlapping!)
This was based on my favorite cover version of The Silmarillion, shown below:
Because I'm so late to this, I'm going to do an open tag but also boops for visibility (in case y'all would like to take part, or if you have already, please link me your post as I likely missed it ❤️🩹): @ceremorph0sis, @wasted-sam @wyfyoyo, @onlytavs, @missfortunetherogue, @emmyandthetieflings, @gortashsrighthand @cunthulhu-xo @fireflyeyes @bhaal-battle-beer-bard @miauzuli @toomanyfamiliars @scoldingdarjeeling @nasaiki @theya-art @ele-millennial-weirdo @ellessario love y'all, and with the open tag for anyone else who would like to take part, please tag me when you do so I can see!!)
Y las noches que haya luna llena
Será porque el niño esté de buenas
Y si el niño llora
Menguará la luna para hacerle una cuna
Can I request headcanons for Dark Urge, Geraldus, Wyll, Halsin, Gale, and Astarion reacting to shy GN s/o who always asks for permission even just to hold hands or a kiss on the cheek please?
Dark Urge, Geraldus, Wyll, Halsin, Gale, and Astarion (Sep) reacting to shy Tav who always asks for permission even just to hold hands or a kiss on the cheek
Dark Urge (redeeming)
Towards the beginning of the relationship they do not really understand why Tav asks for permission
Would initially think that Tav is afraid they would hurt them
For the Dark Urge their whole life was to take anything and everything they wanted
As time goes on and Dark Urge starts to learn from / heal from their past trauma they find Tav asking for permission to be extremely sweet and understanding
Dark Urge has never truly got to experience someone who truly loves them for who they are
Tav’s requests for permission and their shyness would be a constant reminder that love and affection don’t have to come from a place of control or dominance
“Thank you Tav, you have shown me more love and understanding than any other soul that exists.”
Geraldus
Not sure how Tav and Geraldus even got themselves in a relationship
Geraldus, himself is on the shy side
However, when he is not blushing and mumbling out his own request for affection, his mind is fired listening to Tav ask for it
Geraldus would never say no to Tav
To him Tav is higher than the Gods, they are perfection
“Why would you ask me such a thing dear… I cannot get enough of you”
“Do you think I would ever turn down a kiss from you?”
Wyll
Total sweetheart about it
Wyll finds this to be among the most endearing things about his Tav
At heart Wyll is a true, traditional romantic, and what is more than romantic than the love of their life looking at you and asking for your love and affection
Wyll is another one to hardly ever deny Tav’s request
“You never have to ask, my dear. But I understand that you want to feel comfortable—let me know how I can make this easier for you.”
Halsin (!Halsin Backstory Spoilers!)
Halsin’s eyes are so full of love anytime he hears Tavs sweet voice ask for him
While is was long ago, Halsin appreciate Tav asking permission before they jump him with kisses and cuddles
From time to time Halsin gets in his head about that time he was used as a pleasure servant
As wild as Halsin is, he is still a mortal with a mortal mind
If Tav hesitated, he’d hold out his hand gently or give Tav a soft kiss on the forehead
“My heart, you are true perfection”
Gale
EATS THIS UP
Gale wants to be wanted, especially by Tav
Gale, who is intelligent and often a bit formal in his mannerisms, would understand Tav’s need for permission but wants nothing more than to hold Tav
He believes in the power of trust and would reassure Tav that there’s nothing to fear from him
“Ah, my dear, I appreciate your thoughtfulness, but there’s no need for permission in matters of the heart.” (Sush Gale we all know you want them to keep asking because you love it so much)
Astarion
Astarion would be the most conflicted in terms of his reaction. On one hand, he would deeply appreciate that Tav’s respect boundaries and asks for permission, as he is someone who has a very sensitive relationship with consent.
However, because of his own traumatic past, his reaction might come across as more self-deprecating or sarcastic at first.
He’d try to tease Tav about it, making light of the situation with his usual charm and wit, but underneath his sarcasm, there’s a genuine desire to make you feel comfortable.
He would be keen to show you that he’d never force anything on you and might even go out of his way to be overly considerate, so you know that you are always in control of the situation.
“You don’t need to ask, darling... but I suppose I do enjoy the thought of you wanting to be sure.”

Oh ya know what, speaking of NPCs who spontaneously got my attention, why did NOBODY tell me about this wet puppy of a Harper???!?!??!? Oh my God
HELLO?? CUTIE PIE.
Another NPC I'm adding to the list and placing into my pocket to carry around with me because I can't kiss them.
