This is my writing/Gale sideblog (@themightynine-nine main)
My name is Bilbo (they/them) and my recent obsession with Baldur's Gate inspired me to start writing fanfiction again after a 12 year break. I'll mostly be writing Gale/Tav but might fuck around with other characters.
Please feel free to come talk to me! I'm friendly I promise :)
A young apprentice approaches Professor Dekarios seeking romantic advice: “Sir? Your partner is so impressive and truly a sight to behold. How did you attract their attention?”
Gale, taking them by the shoulders: “I shall be completely honest and tell you the pure, unadulterated truth… I have no fucking idea.”
I commissioned this lovely piece from @minilev ❤️ and it’s perfection! The perfect balance of soft and domestic 🥰 and is in character for Gale as well… would love to read with him in bed lol
Summary: Tav had imagined that finally confessing their feelings to Gale, and finally being able to touch him, to make love to him, would have finally cured them of their excessive daydreaming about the man. Yet it seemed they ached to be with him even more than before. It had not even been a half day since their night under the stars, and Tav had seriously considered pulling him into a Shadow-Cursed alley at least thrice already.
Gale x Tav, smut, fluff, they're so in love and this is very cheesy, oral, penis in vagina, full bush (not really described I just needed you all to know), canon-typical violence, I love dnd and it really shows in this one, they/them for Tav.

Tav felt the raw elemental power of his spell ripple through the weave around them like a stone skipping on water. When they turned to look, the strands of Gale's hair were dancing around his face, his eyes glowing intensely with energy as icy blue lightning shot out from his fingers with a deafening crackle.
The same fingers that he dragged across their body so tenderly last night. The same fingers that painted a stunning picture of the stars on the gloomy canvas of the Shadow-Cursed sky. For them.
They were on their way to the Gauntlet of Shar to find the Nightsong. And though the suffocating darkness of the Shadow-Cursed lands put a damper on the party's mood in general, Tav felt like they were walking on air all day. The memories of last night were playing in their mind repeatedly. He loved them back. Yes, they were still in the most depressive area in the world, with the constant threat of ceremorphosis looming over them. Not to mention the actual Goddess who asked- no, ordered Gale to blow himself up.
It didn’t matter. Their cheeks were burning with the pain of not being able to stop smiling.
That was until the party was ambushed by a wraith and several undead warriors, right in the center of Reithwin Town. The cursed creatures had lunged out at the group, ready to slaughter them. However, the current threat was not at the front of Tav's mind. Not when Gale was close enough to touch, to kiss, to drag into an alley and-
The harsh smell of ozone filled Tav’s nostrils and they snapped out of their state of reverie when the aforementioned Wizard moved next to them, crouching behind a large, gnarly vine for cover.
Right. Fighting for their life.
They peeked over the edge of the creeping vine to assess the situation. Karlach was standing at the top of the stairs, her body pulsing with animalistic rage, the corpse of an undead half-orc already at her feet. The thick arrow sticking out of her shoulder didn't seem to bother her too much.
Another arrow was about to be nocked, but the archer got blown to pieces by Wyll's well-aimed eldritch blasts before they got the chance to.
An undead dwarf took this moment of distraction to sneak up behind him from the shadows and strike at Wyll. The first attack missed, but the second swing caught his upper thigh, causing Wyll to groan in pain. The warlock turned around to point a finger at his assailant, who was instantly engulfed in infernal flames, and left barely standing.
Tav popped up from behind cover and aimed a spell at the undead dwarf next to Wyll, pulling at the strands of the Weave to manifest an orb of deadly fire. One hit should be enough to end its unlife once and for all.
“Ignis”
Gale's shoulder brushed against their leg briefly.
Miss.
They growled in frustration. “Fuck”
“Are you all right, my love?” Gale looked at them with concern. Tav could vaguely hear Karlach roar ferally, followed by two wet squelches and the dull thud of a body hitting the ground. “Do you need healing?”
They did not process his caring words, or acknowledge his question. Instead, their mind was occupied by his proximity, the love in his eyes. Enough to sustain them forever, probably. What it felt like to have his lips on theirs after weeks of pining for each other was the only thing that mattered.
“Tav!”
The wizard physically shook them from another mid-battle daydream. “Uhh, I'm fine,” Wyll screamed out in pain as the strength was sapped from his body by the wraith that appeared from the shadows. “Hasten me.”
Gale nodded and took a piece of liquorice root from his component pouch and stuck it in his mouth before making a set of complex movements towards Tav.
“Provolo!”
A restless warmth like a stampede filled their body as the spell took effect. Tav practically vibrated with energy and sprinted from behind the tombstone, up the crumbling stairs at the center or Reithwin Town, blasting multiple high level magic missiles from their hands. The projectiles impacted on the shadowy form in rapid succession, and the wraith dissipated with a bone chilling screech.
One corrupted Harper left.
“Dolor”
Wyll's blasts sent the Harper flying back, right into the range of Karlach's hammer. She swung her weapon in a mighty arch, and the sound of crushing bones echoed throughout the square. One more hit should be enough to kill it now.
Tav approached the Harper, ready to evoke the power of lightning -just like Gale had done earlier- in one last devastating shocking grasp.
Miss. Miss.
Again? Was just the brief thought of him enough to render them completely useless?
Tav had imagined that finally confessing their feelings to Gale, and finally being able to touch him, to make love to him, would have finally cured them of their excessive daydreaming about the man. Yet it seemed they ached to be with him even more than before. It had not even been a half day since their night under the stars, and Tav had seriously considered pulling him into a Shadow-Cursed alley at least thrice already.
The undead creature tried to stab Tav with its sword, but before the blade could find purchase in their gut, it screeched horribly as it burned into ashes right before their eyes, ending the fight instantly. Gale's fire bolt had finished the job.
The party looted the bodies for any valuables and regrouped around Tav. The looks of concern on everyone's face mildly annoyed them. Karlach put a hand on their shoulder. “You alright, soldier? Looked like you were having a hard time out there.”
“I'm fine.” They snapped.
“Karlach is right, Tav, you seem out of it somehow, are you sure we can't help you?” Wyll's smile is kind and reassuring, and Tav was about to apologize, explain themself. Instead, the world started to spin and their legs gave out. They stumbled as a wave of exhaustion washed over them.
Lethargy.
Gale caught Tav before they could hit the ground, allowing them to lean on him until they regained their senses. “I imagine this encounter has taken a toll on all of us. Perhaps it would be best to take a brief respite.” He gently moved a strand of Tav’s hair back into place, and traced their cheek with his thumb, lingering on the corner of their mouth. Gale’s breath hitched.
His heartbeat quickened audibly.
“Or we could return to camp and end the adventuring day entirely. For,uh, tactical reasons.” His eyes didn’t leave Tav's. “To make sure we are as fresh as can be for the rest of the journey to the Gauntlet, tomorrow”
-
If it would have been up to Tav, they would have dragged Gale straight into their tent the very second they arrived at camp. Unfortunately, there were wounds to be tended to, potions to be brewed, and dinner to be made. Why did they have to become the unofficial leader of the group?
The wait was excruciating, and both wizards had to resist the urge to forsake their responsibilities and just get naked right in the center of camp. Supposedly, everyone had seen them kiss each other this morning, and their mutual infatuation had been extremely obvious to everyone long before that. Karlach had shot Tav a knowing look and a wink while walking back to camp. Still, some privacy would be required for the things They had in mind right now.
It took forever for everyone to retire to their tents for the evening, or at least it felt that way to Tav. Did Astarion always take seven whole minutes to clean his teeth? Did Lae'zel have to clean every separate piece of equipment she owned, even though she didn't leave camp today? How long did Shadowheart truly need to pray to her Lady? Surely 10 minutes would have sufficed instead of the whopping ninety it actually took.
Gods.
After one final conversation with Halsin on battle tactics against undead, everyone finally retired to their respective beds.
Tav slipped into Gale's tent, and found him on his bedroll, propped up on one elbow with a thick tome in front of him. His concentrated frown softened the moment he laid his eyes on his fellow wizard. “My love-” The distance between them was instantly unbearable and Tav rushed to get close to him. Gale discarded his book without second thought and sat up while opening up his arms for them.
They dropped down to their knees in front of him, and reached out their hand to cup Gale's face, pressing their forehead against his. The warmth that spread through their body was like feeling the first rays of spring-sunshine on your face after a long, gloomy winter. He smelled like home already.
“Every moment without your touch has been a torment unparalleled by what even the most cruel devils of the Nine Hells could conjure. To taste your lips again would be a blessing greater than any god or goddess could bestow upon me.”
Tav smiled. A wave of butterflies rumbled in their stomach, and they kissed him tenderly.
They took a short moment to mentally apologize to all the lovestruck bards they had made fun of in the past. Tav had always thought that the lyrics of most great love ballads were a bit, well, dramatic. Surely none of these writers were actually sick with love, and not a single person could actually compare to the blessed fields of Elysium. No one had ever made Tav feel that way, thus they had always assumed these bards were exaggerating.
But, fuck, had they been right. Every stupid cliché was true, Tav truly ached with love, and the blessed fields of Elysium would seem a barren wasteland in comparison to Gale of Waterdeep. They would walk through every layer of the Hells just to make him smile. He was like the moon and stars, the sunrise every morning and the sunset every night. He was the smell of fresh bread and the excitement of a good book. The morning dew, laughter, beauty, and love. Love.
“I think we might have made a mistake, Gale.” They felt his frown against their forehead but firmly pressed their lips against it in reassurance. “W-what do you mean? Surely you don't regret-” Tav cut him off with a soft kiss on the lips, hands still cupping his face.
“Not ever, Gale, I love you.” They looked him in the eyes. “I meant that I've been incredibly distracted today, because you have occupied my every waking thought.” Another kiss.
He relaxes, and his hands snuck up to Tav's waist. The whirling sensation of desire it ignited was a distraction in its own right.
“I doubt that I could've hit a building with a fireball today.” They continued kissing his cheek and down to his neck, along the dark lines of the orb, and moved to straddle his hips, earning a low grunt of approval from Gale.
“That sounds like a serious problem, my love.” His hands were roaming freely across their back and one reached up to caress the nape of their neck while his head fell back to grant Tav better access to his neck. “Perhaps it would help to share some of these distracting thoughts of yours?” His other hand gripped their upper thigh, sending another shock of arousal through Tav. “Or, if you prefer, a demonstration?”
“You are wearing way too many clothes for a demonstration.”
With that, they pushed him down onto the bedroll, and sent their lips crashing down on him until they were both gasping for air. They could feel his heartbeat through his chest. Gale used the brief break between their lips to clumsily pull his shirt off over his shoulders.
He pulled Tav back down to meet his lips again and kissed them firmly but tenderly, pulling them flush against him. One of his hands slid down to grab their ass, humming in delight as he did. Tav reveled in his warmth, and felt their nipples harden as they rubbed against his hairy chest while his tongue slipped into their mouth.
The rough hairs were soon replaced by Gale's hands. He rolled the stiff nubs between his expert fingers, causing Tav to break the kiss and arch their back.
Gale's open-mouthed staring was interrupted by the movement of Tav's hips along his hardening length. A moan escaped them both. Tav blushed at the sound and felt the increasing wetness between their legs. Gale used the grip on Tav’s ass to guide their movements, increasing their speed slightly.
“Could I take these off of you?” They asked impatiently.
Gale was not known for being at a loss for words, quite the contrary. But the sight of Tav blushing while they straddled him, practically humped him, eliminated his remaining verbosity and all he could do was nod.
A mischievous smile crept upon Tav's face. They said a brief incantation, and with a flick of the wrist, they were both completely naked.
The sudden sensation of bare skin against bare skin sent shivers down Tav’s spine, yet the desire to be even closer to him burned through their body. Tav was dripping with need.
Gale's hard cock twitched against them. “I love you.” He said almost deliriously.
“I love you too.”
He flipped Tav on their back, and they wrapped their legs around his waist instinctively. They were a mess of grasping hands, pulled hair, sloppy kisses and grinding hips. The way Gale's erection rubbed over their clit with every move was driving them insane.
“Gale please.”
They didn't know what they were asking for, exactly. Hells, they probably didn't even know their own name at this point. Thankfully, Gale understood the general idea and moved his attention to the wetness between Tav's legs. They whined when he started to teasingly kiss along their lower stomach, down to their inner thighs.
Tav's patience ran out fairly quickly, and they guided his head to where they wanted him- needed him. The warm breath of Gale's laughter against their pussy made them squirm.
He wrapped his arms around Tav's legs firmly, and slowly dragged his tongue over their clit. The sudden contact made them shudder with delight, and they gripped the wizard's hair even tighter. Tav bucked their hips slightly and opened their legs as far as possible, eager for more.
Gale started out slowly, taking notice of every movement that made Tav gasp and moan. He circled their clit with just the right amount of pressure and a tense heat started to build in Tav's lower stomach.
Gale positioned a finger at their entrance and slowly pushed it inside, making them clench around his finger instantly. He slowly moved his finger in and out until another slipped in with ease. He started to curl his fingers rhythmically.
“Fuck, Gale, that feels so good.”
The feeling of Gale's moan against them only added to the pleasure. Both of Tav's hands were grasping at his hair now, their body vibrating with pleasure. The heat that pooling in their body was close to overflowing.
“I'm s-so close”
Gale kept going steadily, his mouth firmly circling their clit and his fingers pumping in and out of them until the tension in their body built to its peak until it snapped. Waves of pleasure were washing over Tav. Their thighs clamped around Gale's head, and Tav started to convulse underneath him as he kept fingering them throughout their orgasm.
The feeling started to overwhelm, and Tav pulled Gale off of them by the hair in a not-quite-gentle way, panting heavily. Tav let their head fall back onto the soft pillow, legs twitching again as Gale pulled his fingers out gingerly. They felt light and warm, blissful.
It took some time for Tav to realise that Gale had sat back up, still fully erect, and was staring at them intently, as if waiting for something.
“I asked if you are okay.”
His words snapped them back into reality. “Oh, yes, very much so.” The tent was too cold without him close and the sight of his stiff cock re-ignited their arousal instantaneously. “Come here.”
He crawled his way back up and kissed them passionately, his beard was wet with their slick, and the distinct taste of them was heavy on his tongue. It made the desperate heat return to Tav’s stomach fully. They dragged their hands along his chest, down his stomach, and wrapped their hands around him. They started to pump him slowly, dragging their thumb over the head and twisting at the base until he was moaning into their mouth.
“T-Tav.”
They made a mental note to tease him until he was desperately begging to be inside of them another time.
Instead, they dragged his head through their wet folds, and aligned him with their entrance. He looked into their eyes and slowly pushed in until he bottomed out entirely, gasping at the ecstasy of being inside of them. Tav wrapped their legs around him, and he dug his fingers into their thighs while his other hand cupped Tav’s face lovingly. They gripped his biceps and whined softly at the way his thick cock stretched them out so deliciously.
The moment was intimate. Their foreheads touching; breathing in each other’s breaths; impossibly close.
Tav’s hands found their way to Gale’s thick hair, and they kissed sloppily as he started to thrust. Gale found a rhythm that extracted a near constant string of moans from them. Their legs wrapped around him tighter, they snapped their hips up into him, and their nails clawed into the skin on his back in pleasure. Another orgasm was getting closer with every thrust. Gale felt them twitching and tightening around him, and snuck his hand between them to rub their clit with his thumb.
His movements were becoming more erratic as he too was getting close. Every snap of his hips sent another wave of pleasure through Tav, making them squeeze around him. The tension tightened until they found release once more. Their legs were shaking, head thrown back, and nails digging into his sweaty back. Tav moaned his name into his ear. Gale buried his head into Tav’s neck and fucked into them a couple more times as Tav clenched around him in pleasure, his release following theirs shortly after.
They were both sticky with sweat, breathing heavily against each other. Gale pulled out with a soft groan, and used prestidigitation to clean them up before settling back on top of Tav’s chest. Tav placed gentle kisses on the crown of his head while their fingers lazily drew sigils of abjuration on his back. He was theirs, and they were going to keep him safe. Forever.
“I love you, Gale.”
A muffled, sleepy voice answered: “I love you too, Tav.”
Summary: Tav is tempted to take up Gale's offer to intertwine in the Weave, but decides to fuck him in this plane of existence instead.

Tav’s heart felt like it was trying to leap out of their chest. Their body was vibrating with a nervous tingle, from the crown of their head down to every extremity. He was close. Close enough to feel the heat radiating off his body and to smell the soap that he used. The shimmer of a thousand stars illuminated Gale's visage, accentuating his nose and the arch of his lips. He looked nervous, tense. His hands gripped into the blanket that they sat on and his eyes avoided theirs until he found the courage that he needed.
“I'm in love with you.”
A spark of intense warmth grew from behind their sternum and spread throughout their body quickly. They couldn't help but smile and lean into him slightly.
“I’m in love with you too.”
The serious look on his face softened into a careful smile. “That’s a relief. It would be a shame to spend my final hours making an ass of myself.”
He could never. Not to them.
Tav laughed and pushed a strand of hair behind Gale's ear as he closed the distance between them. He gently pressed his lips against theirs, though his movements were somewhat unsure. Tav reciprocated almost too enthusiastically, and their teeth clashed slightly, since Tav's lips were still tightened into a wide smile. Still, nothing could render the moment into anything less than perfect. It was him, finally, after all this time. His lips, his hair, his hands, him.
Tav whined softly when he pulled back from the kiss.
Gale stood up and offered his hand to Tav, helping them to their feet as well.
“I want it to be perfect- to bond in the way the gods do… intertwining our spirits in visions of the Weave”
Tav considered the offer. It had been weeks since Gale's ‘magic lesson’, when they had channeled the weave together, and had felt so close, so deeply connected to Gale. As a wizard, they were -of course- intimately familiar with the Weave, but channeling with Gale was like experiencing it for the first time again. The magic of that day had tasted differently, almost felt like it belonged to a school of magic that didn’t exist.
Intertwining their souls in the Weave would provide a whole new level of intimacy, and would be more impressive than anything their physical forms could do. The possibilities were truly endless, only limited by their combined imaginations. Their love could transcend.
And yet.
“I appreciate your truly impressive offer, Gale, and I would love to-” Gale started to cast his spell, but the somatic component was interrupted by Tav, grabbing his wrist. “I would love to connect in the weave with you one day. But if this is truly our only night together,” Something they did not want to think about right now. “I would like the physical you.”
Gale looked at them with slight disbelief. “Are you sure? I could conjure up any sight that you could dream of, and a few you could not. I could use the weave to make us feel sensations beyond reckoning. I could do more than woo you. I could wow you.”
Tav brought his hand to their lips and kissed the palm gingerly. “I have studied the weave for more than a decade, I use it every day to cast my spells, I sense it around me at all times.”
They kissed his wrist. “You have wooed and wowed me already, thoroughly. All-consumingly.” They closed the remaining distance. “But I do not know your lips half as well as I would like to.” They released his hand and cupped his face. “I would like to know the touch of your hands and the feel of your body against mine. I want to study the sounds you make… and the scratch of your beard against my thighs.”
Gale inhaled sharply and pulled them closer by the waist.
“Anything, Tav, so long as it’s with you.”
The smile on his face was so wonderfully sweet, but his eyes betrayed his lust. Tav pressed their lips against his once more while their thumb traced his bearded jaw. Gale’s arms wrapped around them more tightly, deepening the kiss. The way their bodies pressed together made them feel like they were on fire, a delicious heat blazing across their skin.
Gale pushed them backwards a couple of steps until their calves hit the edge of the bed, and Tav fell onto the plush mattress and pillows that he had summoned. Silk, notoriously hard to conjure properly because of the prism-like shape of its fibres, they vaguely remember.
“Showing off, aren’t we?” Tav said cheekily.
His slight smirk made Tav’s heart beat faster. “Oh, I’ve barely even started.”
He slowly crawled onto the bed, one of his knees sliding between their legs while he hovered above them. The pressure of his hands dented the fabric next to them, and his thigh was so tantalisingly close to where they wanted it. Tav caressed his cheek with one hand and combed through his greying locks with the other. The air was heavy with anticipation as they softly rubbed their noses together, breathing each other’s air until their lips met once more.
They kissed as if they had all the time in the world, not a single thought of orbs, parasites, and the end of the world. It wasn't as clumsy as their first kiss, and they both moved with more confidence than before. Gale's tongue slipped past their lips curiously, and Tav was torn between relishing the gentle sweetness and indulging the insistent arousal that was growing within.
Thankfully, the kiss soon grew from tender to urgent quickly. Two sets of hands slowly became confident enough to explore and were soon rubbing, grabbing, and squeezing at will. Tav spread their legs slightly to allow Gale more room, and he instantly seized the opportunity to slide his thigh against their core.
Gale’s open mouthed kisses swallowed Tav’s soft moans as they rubbed their pussy against his thigh. Their fingers grabbed at the hem of his shirt and started to peel it off of him, desperate to feel his bare skin against theirs. The purple shirt was tossed to the side, and Gale started to unbutton Tav’s shirt with great focus. Once the blouse was removed as well, Gale groaned at the new sensation of Tav’s soft skin against his palms, and moved his attention to the newly exposed skin of Tav’s neck, kissing, sucking, and licking at every sensitive spot until they were trembling beneath him.
One of his thumbs slowly circled a nipple, while his mouth kept working on leaving wet pecks on every piece of exposed skin he could find. Tav’s hands were everywhere, running along his back, squeezing his arms, and grabbing his ass. They dragged their nails along his sides and teased a finger just underneath the band of his trousers, earning a shiver as they whispered:
“May I?”
Their voice was raspy, needy.
Gale nodded against them, briefly pausing his work on their neck and chest to let out a breathy “Yes.”
He was half-hard already when Tav unlaced his trousers and started to palm him through his briefs. Gale’s lavishing of the neck had stopped and was replaced by heavy breaths against their skin, lost in the way their fingers wrapped around him so perfectly. He controlled the urge to fuck into their tight fist, and moaned into their neck, fully erect within seconds.
They started to undo the lacing of his briefs, but Gale moved his hips out of reach, much to the disgruntlement of Tav, who whined at the loss of contact. They felt him smile against their neck before trailing soft kisses down along their torso. He positioned himself between their legs, massaging their thighs and kissing along their lower stomach.
Tav was trembling with desire, hips jerking up every time his hands came teasingly close to where they were needed.
He finally removed their pants, and the cool air against their damp underwear sent a shiver down their spine. Tav was propped up on their elbows, meeting Gale’s dark gaze.
“Touch me. Please.”
Ever the eager student, Gale dragged his thumb over their slit, slowly circling their clit through the fabric.
“Gods, you’re so wet for me.”
Tav swallowed a moan.
“Well, you have been edging me emotionally for several weeks now.” They joked.
He laughed and, by the gods, was he gorgeous. “I shall try my absolute best to make it up to you.” The promise was emphasized by a firm kiss on their clit and Tav gasped at the pressure.
He pulled the last layer off of them more impatiently than he had intended, but the roughness of his hands was contrasted by the tenderness of his lips as he pressed a constellation of kisses on the inside of their knee and along their inner thigh. They had been right to fantasize about the feeling of his beard against their thighs, softer than they expected, but no less arousing.
He softly kissed around their clit before dragging his tongue along their slit, eliciting a needy moan from them. Their head fell back in pleasure as he continued to circle their clit with focused precision. He picked up the pace, licking and sucking until Tav was grasping at the sheets. The relief of his mouth on them was divine, but they soon started to ache for more, clenching around nothing as Gale’s clever tongue sent waves of pleasure through them.
“More.”
That was all the encouragement he needed to push his finger into them, his tongue never stopping its work. The wet sound of penetration was obscene, as was Gale’s hum that sent vibrations through Tav’s core. He slid in and out of them easily, and Tav felt the pressure build in their body, hands grasping at Gale’s thick locks when he added another finger with ease.
Tav let out an almost constant stream of gasps and moans, the only comprehensible word was his name. He curled his fingers into them rhythmically, and Tav’s back arched in ecstasy. The tension in their core was spreading with every move of his fingers, everly flick of his tongue, until every part of them was trembling with pleasure. They stilled blissfully for a moment, floating around their peak until they came crashing down, clenching around his fingers and grinding against his mouth.
He continued the movements of his fingers and tongue until Tav was a twitching mess, and had to push him off of them.
“Too sensitive.” Was all they managed to get out. They were breathing heavily, shiny with sweat. They groaned as Gale pulled his fingers out gently.
The sound of Gale sucking his fingers clean was unmistakable, even with their eyes closed and the blood thumping in their ears.
It took a moment for them to recover, and when they opened their eyes, they found Gale staring at them with a look that was somehow loving and deliriously horny at the same time. His hair was a mess and his beard was glistening with their arousal. Tav glanced over the rest of his body, he too was breathing heavily, and the outline of his throbbing erection was clearly visible through his briefs.
“Would you like me to go again?” His voice was low, and his offer tempting.
“I would like you to be naked.”
He spared no time shoving his trousers and underwear down and dropping them off the edge of the bed. The sight of his cock springing free made them content in their choice to do this the old fashioned way.
Gale crawled back over them, and Tav rolled the other wizard onto his back, straddling his hips. They kissed him deeply, the taste of themself still on his lips. It was their turn to cover him in kisses, and suck at sensitive spots along his throat. He grabbed a handful of their ass and pulled them against his hard cock. Tav nibbled on his ear while sliding their wetness along his shaft, returning the familiar spark of arousal. The way he felt against their dripping pussy was exciting, but quickly failed to truly satisfy the growing need inside of them.
They pressed their foreheads together and lifted their hips slightly, creating space to slide his tip through their wet lips before aligning him with their entrance.
“Ready?”
Gale kissed them deeply and nodded. They moaned in tandem as Tav lowered themself onto him slowly until he filled them entirely. His cock stretched them perfectly, and they were eager to start moving, but their hips were stilled by the bruisingly tight grip that Gale had on them.
“Wait. Please.” His voice was strained, and his face was contorted in concentration.
“What's wrong?”
He scoffed. “Nothing is wrong, quite the opposite.” He swallowed. “It has been a rather lonesome year, and you feel…divine.”
The devotion in his voice made Tav clench around him slightly, which made Gale groan in turn. He looked breathtaking like this, and they were tempted to make him come right now.
“Do you want me to stop?”
“Gods, no, please.” He was breathing heavily. “I just need a moment.”
“No worries, my love, you're doing so well for me.” They whispered into his ear hoarsely while squeezing his biceps. “You look so good- you feel so good inside of me, Gale”
The wizard tightened his grip even more, and all but whined at Tav's words. They duly noted that their praise probably would not help Gale last longer, and they bit back the rest of their adoration on how long they had wanted this, how they had thought about him every night, and how nothing could compare to this exact moment with him.
Gale grabbed the back of their head and pulled them into a sloppy kiss. The hand that was still on their hip started to guide them up until just his tip was inside of them, and back down onto his impressive length, moaning into each other’s mouth. They increased the speed until the sound of skin slapping against skin drowned out the sound of their moans. Gale’s thumb found their clit again, and he started to fully thrust up into them.
It didn’t take long for Tav to get close to coming again as Gale was hitting their sweet spot with every thrust. They felt him get closer as well, his cock hardening and twitching against their walls, the snapping of his hips more erratic. Tav clenched around him and felt his hot release deep inside of them, pushing them over the edge as well. They rode out their orgasms together until they were both totally spent.
Tav buried their head in Gale’s neck, the full weight of their sweaty body collapsed on top of him. He pulled out with a groan, and Tav settled at his side, still nuzzling his neck and shoulder, draping their arm across his chest and a leg slung over his thigh. Gale waved his hand and cleaned up the trail of cum that had started to trickle down Tav’s thighs.
The silence was comfortable. Anything that they could say was already expressed by their actions. Besides, Tav felt peaceful for the first time since they had a parasite inserted in their eye, and they did not want to shatter that fragile bliss by speaking right now.
Tav lifted their head to look at Gale. His soft locks were draped around him like a halo. His eyes were closed in a way that reflected Tav’s own sense of peace. They felt like they saw him for the first time again. Beautiful. He looked younger without the frown that had crowned his face ever since Elminster’s visit. The memory produced the sour taste of anxiety in their mouth.
So far for peaceful.
They tried to swallow the taste away and kissed him solemnly on the lips. He smiled in response and groggily opened his eyes.
“Apologies, I was close to dozing off there.” He brought their hand to his lips and kissed each knuckle with reverence.
The anxiety melted away with his every touch. “I’ll take that as a compliment.”
“As you should. I doubt even the finest bards of all the realms could do you any justice.” He sighed deeply. “But, even though I could go on about your transcendent beauty for the rest of the night, perhaps we should get some sleep. We will need to be well-rested tomorrow…”
Tav smirked. “I have a better idea, call it wishful thinking, but I came prepared for a sleepless night.”
When Gale’s mirror image had invited them, they had merely hoped to talk through the night, to convince him to make a better choice than blowing himself up, once they found the heart of the Absolute.
They leaned over the edge of the bed to pick their trousers off the grass, giving Gale an excellent view of their ass in the meantime.
“Two potions of Angelic Slumber!” They presented the two small vials proudly. “We won’t need any real sleep as long as we take these at the end of the night.”
Gale chuckled as a warm wave of affection washed over him. “You have expensive tastes, Tav.”
“One night with you is worth much more to me than all the gold in the realms.”
They crawled over to him and settled their head back on his shoulder and started to slowly drag their nails up and down his torso. Gale hummed in enjoyment and pulled them closer. Warm and alive. The slight scratch across his chest felt incredible. Tav continued their exploration up his neck and along his jaw. They traced the shell of his ear, eliciting a shiver from him that lit a new spark of arousal in their lower abdomen.
They moved their hands back down his chest, brushing over his nipples and smirking at his reaction. They glanced down Gale’s naked form and was delighted to see his cock harden slightly. Time to prove that Gale wasn’t the only one with a talented mouth. Tav dragged a finger along his hip bone, close enough to his groin to tease. Gale started to shift restlessly, attempting to get some friction, and when Tav looked up to him, he was staring at them with enlarged pupils.
His obvious desire made them grin deviously, and they kept teasing the sensitive spots on his lower body until he was fully erect again. They reveled in the soft gasps that escaped him. Gale pushed the hair out of Tav’s face as they started to kiss his chest. He stifled a moan when they circled his nipple with their tongue and he jerked his hips up in search of relief. They started to roll his other nipple between their fingers while sucking on the other. He was breathing heavily underneath their mouth and he grasped at Tav’s back desperately.
Every inch of Gale's chest was kissed and caressed, and he was dripping precum by the time they finally reached down and palmed him firmly. They wrapped his fingers around the base of his cock and slowly started to pump up and down his length. Tav was salivating at the sight of their lover writhing beneath them, fucking up into their fist slowly but eagerly. They moved between his legs without letting go. They licked and kissed his inner thighs and stilled their hand to press their lips against his tip.
“Gods…Tav… you don’t have to-”
As if the thought of going down on him hadn't been on Tav's mind every night for weeks
They pushed the head of his cock past their lips and took him as deep as they could, until thick dark hair tickled their nostrils. Gale wove his fingers through their hair as gently as he could, but his grip tightened in pleasure when he hit the back of their throat. The sound of fingernails scratching at fabric mingled with Gale’s heavy breath. He was mostly incoherent, a mix of moans, ‘gods’, and ‘Tav’ escaping him.
They hollowed their cheeks and wrapped their hand back around the base of his cock, twisting and squeezing along with the movements of their mouth. Tav pressed their tongue up slightly as they started to bob their head, taking note of every suck, swirl, and squeeze that made him react. They found a rhythm that made him moan constantly, they could feel him harden and twitch, and they could taste his precum on the back of their tongue. Tav looked up to meet his gaze briefly before his eyes closed and his head fell back.
“I’m… gonna come.”
Tav continued their movements until, soon after, Gale’s body tensed and twitched and they felt hot spurts of cum shoot down their throat. Their name was on his lips, repeatedly and deliriously, as they swallowed his release.
Gale pulled them up into a kiss, tasting himself on their tongue.
“Allow me to return the favor, please.” He practically begged.
“You already have, and I think I need around ten more minutes before I can go again.”
“I shall be counting down the seconds.”
He pulled them close and kissed them deeply. His hands cupping their face. They closed their eyes and touched their foreheads together and rubbed their nose against his. They felt light, content. In love.
“I love you, Tav.” Gale whispered, as if he had read their mind.
“I love you too, Gale.” They whispered back.
They rolled onto their sides and pushed their bodies as close as possible, legs intertwined, chest to chest. They stared into each other’s eyes in comfortable silence. Gale played with their hair while Tav lazily scratched his back. He placed soft kisses on their forehead and nose, and laughed when Tav scrunched their nose at the tickle of his beard. He looked at them with such deep adoration that it almost made them shy.
Gale was always beautiful in Tav’s eyes, no matter how tired or bloodstained, but right now, he was stunning. The glittering sky of his creation shone a dim light on his complexion. His dark hair fell softly around his face, with those pretty streaks of gray. His strong nose. Tav couldn’t help but trace the arch of his lips, still slightly swollen from their kisses. He kissed the pad of their thumb in response. The creases around his eyes when he smiled filled them with an overwhelming warmth.
The bliss was shattered when their eyes fell on the small tendril of netherese blight on his cheek that reminded them of the ephemerality of their love. Tav gripped him tighter, wrapped their leg around him possessively, and tried to ground themself in his physicality. He was here. Right now. Warm. Alive. Alive. Alive.
For now.
Gale kissed the frown that had subconsciously formed on Tav’s face. “What’s wrong, my love?”
It felt like a childish plea, but one night wasn’t enough, and it was not fair. They needed many more nights like this, and days for that matter. They needed to go book shopping together, see a play, have dinner that wasn’t cooked on a campfire. They needed to combine their books, creating a collection that would rival Candlekeep’s.
They needed him to live.
“You don’t happen to have a scroll of Time Stop in that pouch of yours, do you?”
“Ah…” One small word, heavy with understanding. “Alas, I do not.”
He pressed soft kisses all over their face until they relaxed a little.
“Promise me you won’t do it, Gale”
Tav knew it was an unfair request to make of him, and it took a long time for him to respond.
“I promise.”
