Sharing #Raestarion 's first genuine kiss for #BG3FirstsWeek 's first day since it's a scene and a piece of writing that brings me a lot of comfort.

(The kiss continues for longer, but I especially adore these first paragraphs.)

Rae has nightmares of the drider that was involved in Jysral's death. He dreams of his abuse too; he's fine with the ones in which he gets beaten, though he flinches in his trance. The dreams he can't deal with are the ones that lock him up, making his claustrophobia flare up.

Rae'd be a warm, too hot cup of black tea, specifically Assam Gold Second. Harvested in summer, it provides a rich, sunlit colour and an even richer flavour, sweet yet with hints of earthiness.

No idea about the coffee since I don't drink any. Suggestions are welcome. ✌️

Rae once told Alfira that she better not write a song about him, but days after the brain falls her hymn about "The Salving Sinister Sword" becomes the Gate's newest obsession. Unfortunately, it isn't hard to guess who it's about. Henceforth, many books and papers use the title too.

I feel incredibly annoying and like such a waste of space today? Wow!

Like my fucking god, I know this feeling is irrational and stupid and will go away eventually, but it's just so frustrating that it makes me wanna perish.

Rae's fighting style is primal, powerful, and aggressive, and he loves to see the fear in his foes' eyes.
He has honed the mastery of a multitude of weapons—his favourites are greatswords, followed closely by curved, single-edged swords such as katanas and ōdachis. (1/4)

Rae was on his way back to the Gate, returning after three months of travel. He was on a job to procure an item for one of the future dukes of BG, but the task proved to be more tedious than expected. He succeeded though, and was really looking forward to some peace and quiet. Nope!

Emerald, reflecting his natural eye colour.
Often called "Jewel of Kings," an emerald can be more valuable than diamonds, befitting to Rae's materialistic nature.
Traits such as wealth, growth, patience, hope, intuition and truth are associated with them, which—to some extent—fits.

1) With the ultimate worstie and far too strong Ravioli.@sp4rr0wsw3nch.bsky.social
2) With the far too beautiful Lu.@cardigancarm.bsky.social
3) With the far too cocky Darius who had better let Rae down or else—@ishi-amai.bsky.social
4) With the far too tender Kalgrea (IRL friend).

Rae doesn't.
Loss is his greatest fear simply because of how incapable he is of dealing with it. When he lost his father and decades later his lover, Jysral, he lost whom he trusted the most. Grief consumes him so violently that he becomes even more closed off, telling himself (1/2)

#Raestarion steel each other's heart & soul. They share in one another's torment, but also in the joy they find.
To Rae, Astarion is resilience personified. A proof that hope can be jagged and jaded but never destroyed. Selfishly, he finds great comfort in that and thus in Astarion.

Nothing brings Rae more comfort than the solitary walls of his own home—except lazing around in bed with a lover, the world outside forgotten.
That said, a treat to him are new discoveries, especially in history, and unfortunately for that he has to leave his house. (1/4)

Rae's parents. Good and bad. Green and red.
Do their colour palettes reflect Rae's eyes and the push and pull of his good and bad side?
Perchance. Mayhaps.
(Do I overthink everything I put into his lore? Perchance. Mayhaps.)

2 truths, 1 lie.

-Rae loves Astarion's scent. Bergamot also reminds him of his first lover.
-Astarion's parents don't approve of Rae despite his status. They do want them to marry though.
-Rae=big spoon. Alas, he wakes before Astarion and then feels bad for getting up.

And when he needs to shelter from reality,
he takes a dip in my daydreams.

I might do this in a more "serious" manner when I'm on my PC, but considering I have 2K+ reaction images and memes on my phone, this is what ya'll will get for now.

Rae took a blow from the bulette for Astarion and he was, amongst others, thrown against a wall. Shadowheart could heal most of his injuries, but was too exhausted to treat Rae's concussion. Suffice to say, he started acting a little goofy. Unconsciously, but still. An excerpt:

Rae's specialty is giving oral, no matter the gender. He especially loves to start, driving his lovers close to their peak, but letting them fuck his mouth or ride his face for the rest. (Excerpts from my Kinktober fic & from a WIP featuring @ishi-amai.bsky.social 's Darius.)

Nothing like stealing a kiss from your furnace of a lover and grabbing his arse for some warmth. 🌨️❄️
