Karlach was really the first one to clock that Ravahana was in love with Astarion, after listening to the two of them bickering while they were in the swamp.
“Awww…that’s so sweet! You guys sound like an old married couple!”
“WE DO NOT!!”
That comment caused Astarion to stomp away & Ravahana

#TAVQOTD What was your companions' reaction to finding out your tav/durge was in love with their LI? How soon did they know? Did your tav/durge confess it to any of them before confessing to their LI? Give me the deets!

The companions knew pretty early on that #Raestarion were fucking since Astarion told them so during the tiefling party. They said they had private matters to attend to, and Karlach really wanted to join them. Astarion, having lost his patience, "very subtly" clarified things. (1/7)

Vanya confessed it while on a girls’ trip to the crèche (the gang had split up, and the boys were scouting out a way to the Shadow-Cursed Lands).
Lae’zel: Chk. You could have had me and you chose the elf?!
Karlach: I KNEW IT!
Shadowheart: Everyone knows that
Vic: Ew

Courage never MEANT to confess her feeling for Astarion to Wyll and Karlach. After Mizora gave him horns, they would spend time with Wyll to teach him how to care for them. She blushed when she mentioned Astarion’s name in passing, and Wyll instantly clocked her. She was mortified.

Thalra’s relationship with Astarion is that they are cautious friends with the potential for more, if they ever get over being wary of each other. They both see & are appreciative of the power that each possess, but they also *see* each other too.

Thalra will generally get up and stay up after having a nightmare, regardless of what it was about, and will occupy her time reading whatever books are on hand if everyone is sleeping, or will go further away from camp to find something to kill.
Once they get into the Underdark, the nightmares

#tavqotd How does your tav/durge recover/calm down after having a nightmare? What helps them most to get back to sleep/trance?

After a nightmare

If it's bad enough Darius is up, walking the nervous jitters off.
He's not relaxing before his heart-rate has calmed down and only then does he either return to his shared bed or finds Halsin's herb-stash for something relaxing.
He hates that out of the body+

I just managed to bang out #BG3FirstsWeek Day 2 in the space of roughly half an hour. I like this one a lot more.
It takes place during Act 1, before the goblin camp. Think of how overwhelming it must have been for Tav/Durge at the beginning (aka Act 3).

Ravahana recovers/calms down after the worst of her nightmares with Astarion’s help. Usually just being held by him in bed is enough to lull her back to sleep, but there are times that they have been so bad that she is too restless even after he has held her that she waits until he is trancing

Fionn, Dandy and Astarion's son, is an alchemist and artificer with a fondness for carnivorous plants. His favourite is a highly aggressive specimen that he's raised since he was a child. It really is a miracle he still has all his fingers.

My writing has gotten so damned rusty, it isn’t even remotely funny to me.
I used to write so much. Mainly stuff for college classes, with one SPN fic I started after season 5 being the exception, but it definitely feels like I have lost my touch with words.

Happy Birthday to me! 😁😁🎉

So much for getting my first writing prompt done by 11:59pm on the 10th. It doesn’t help that I started with Irann & switched to Ravahana after changing my mind.
Then work picked up and now I’m waiting for the last driver to turn in paperwork.
Fvck me sideways, I hate days like today.

I may actually have enough time tonight. 🤞🏻

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.)
