When I started playing BG3, I bought it for Astarion. Little did I know that after a couple of months, this grumpy Wizard NPC would become my comfort character (& his sweet blacksmith boyfriend). I love them so much 🥹

Here's Halsin and Cella's first kiss!

The full piece can be read here. There's a chapter before it, Too Many Beds, but both are fine on their own. It's pretty stand alone episodic, the Halsin and Cella stuff, but nice altogether as well.

"You don't have to do all of this," she told him. He smiled patiently as he shook his head. "As you've said, a lot. I will keep doing it though. It's what you need." "I don't need anything." "Ah, my dear heart. You do. Moreover, you deserve it. And we will spoil our friends too when they return but maybe not quite so... intimately," he noted with a chuckle. She let him go enough that she could stand on tip toe as his hands found her elbows. He helped lift her just enough that she could kiss his cheek. His smile softened as he looked down at her, and, with the shyness of a boy faced with his first love, he pressed a light kiss to her lips. It was brief, a query as much as a statement. When he found himself answered with a smile his heart surged and he bent to kiss her again, far more thoroughly before he swept her into his arms. "Come my life, let's eat before this gets cold."

For Day 1 of #BG3FirstsWeek hosted by @whirlinginroses.bsky.social , here's Rolan's first kiss, an excerpt from "Magic Comes from Pain" Ch. 5. This is an older piece and was actually my first time ever writing characters kissing lol.

Lia rolls her eyes melodramatically. “Ugh, gods, Rolan, you’re such a priss sometimes. I’m just daring you to give one person a little peck on the lips, not take them home and ravish them. I was even going to be helpful and point you in the direction of someone who I think would be very willing to kiss you, but since you’re being such a big baby about it you might as well just forfeit and buy me another round. Barkeep! ” Rolan covers her mouth with his hand to keep her from ordering anything else. “What do you mean, you think there’s someone who’d be willing to—you weren’t going to send me over to a prostitute, were you?” Lia huffs in outrage and starts to argue, her voice muffled by his hand. “MMphh MMMPH mphf!” Rolan uncovers her mouth. “They’re not a prostitute, you moron, there’s a cleric over there that’s been eyeing you ALL NIGHT, and I just thought I’d help move things along for you by daring you to kiss them because otherwise you’re going to be rotting alone until you’re a sad, shriveled old man, but if you want to be a miserable wrinkly hermit for the rest of your life then be my gues–MFPPH!!!” He silences her again, suddenly terror-stricken that whoever she’s talking about (in addition to everyone else in the tavern) has heard her. Trying to maintain as much of his dignity and calm as possible, Rolan casually leans back on his stool, glancing sideways in the direction Lia had been gesticulating towards, and— Zurgan, they’re looking right at him. He snaps his eyes forward, hoping they didn’t spot him sneaking a glance. From the brief glimpse of them Rolan was able to catch, they at least do seem to be an actual cleric and not a prostitute (he wouldn’t have put it past Lia to lie about that as a prank). They also are…fairly attractive? In the split second before he looked away, he was able to make out a head of reddish-brown ringlets, green eyes, and a mouth quirked up in an inviting smile. An invitation…to me? A fluttery feeling floats up his tail and sp… “Would you please hush,” Rolan snaps irritably. Half of him wonders exactly how his sister is so knowledgeable about things like come hither eyes when he’s the one who’s supposed to be older and more worldly. The other half of him has begun to think that the prospect of kissing the pretty cleric isn’t entirely appalling. It’s irksome to admit, but Lia’s right—he’s never kissed anyone, or for that matter, had so much as a crush. The years he’s given to the single-minded pursuit of his dream haven’t left him much time for romantic entanglements (or even just friendships). Although there have been a few times when a girl with fetching dimples or a boy with a charming laugh turned his head, he’s never given much thought to being with anyone, even just for a moment of pleasure. If the person across the room is really interested in him—and Rolan thinks they might be—what’s the harm in a little kiss? Before his brain has a chance to reconsider this, Rolan knocks back a large gulp of wine for courage and forces his feet to carry him to where the cleric is sitting (Lia mock-whispers “you’ve got this Rolan!” as he stands up). Up close, Rolan can see they’re not just fairly attractive , but legitimately stunning. Their russet curls accentuate the soft brown of their skin and frame a sharp, clever face; their eyes are the greenest he’s ever seen, a deep color that reminds him of uncut emeralds. They grin up at Rolan as he draws nearer and he thinks he might dissolve into the floor. This was a horrible idea I’m going to murder Lia I cannot do this. “Want to sit down?” the cleric offers, affably scooting over on their bench to make room for him. Rolan stiffly obliges, willing every muscle in his body to be as still as possible and not betray the fact that his heart seems to have relocated itself to somewhere in his throat. “I’m Kells, cleric of Tymora, at your service.” He nervously shakes Kells’ proffered hand. “I’m…Rolan. Wizard.” Oh how eloquent, Rolan, you’ve certainly sh… “Well Rolan, Wizard, do you live here?” For a split second of inane stupidity, Rolan thinks they’re asking if he lives in the tavern , but fortunately catches himself in time. “Yes. I do. I mean. I’m from Elturel, yes.” What else should he say? “And…you?” “Nope! I’m from Baldur’s Gate. I’m on a pilgrimage to see the Companion and your shrine to Tymora.” Rolan cycles through what he knows about Tymora for a possible topic of conversation. “You must be very…lucky.” He instantly cringes at his banality. I probably sound like a halfwit. Kells laughs, but it’s not a mocking or disbelieving snicker; it sounds like the bright tinkle of bells on a crisp winter’s morning, and Rolan’s stomach does a backflip. “You could say that! Though I think my luck’s gotten even better since someone handsome like you decided to come sit with me. I’ve been trying to get your attention for hours.” There is far too much shocking information in this sentence for Rolan to process. Handsome? Who, him ? They’ve been trying to get his attention? Has Lia put Kells up to this? He scowls over at his sister, who just flashes him two thumbs up in response. “I…see.” “Also, I couldn’t help but overhear what you and your sister were talking about.” Rolan’s heart sinks. This will be when Kells tells him to shove off—or worse, says something like ‘I’m flattered but not interested.’ “I don't mind helping you win your dare." That’s…not the answer he was expecting. "You really don't need to. Lia's just drunk, I wouldn't take her to heart." "No no, I think she's sweet! You can tell how much she cares about you, to try and set you up with me. And it's not like I won't benefit from this little…exchange." Kells saucily raises an eyebrow and smirks. "I'm not going to pay you to kiss me if that's what you're asking!" The humiliating indignity of this entire exchange is straining Rolan's tolerance. Kells bursts into laughter. "What?! Oh gods , no, that's not what I meant at all! I just meant that it’d be a sort of…mutually agreeable thing for both of us: you’d beat your sister’s dare and get to have your first kiss, and I’d get to kiss the prettiest tiefling here.” Rolan’s face burns up so much he could swear he’s on fire. “I-– It’s not my first kiss!” Kells raises an eyebrow. “I mean—I’ve kissed many people before, just not strangers in taverns, I’m not that kind of person!” He’s sure they’re going to call him out on his obvious lie, but instead Kels just smiles kindly at him and laces their fingers with his. Their hand is warm and soft and fits perfectly locked with his own. “Well, then that makes this easier, doesn’t it? Since I’m just a stranger in a tavern there’s no pressure to make it perfect. If it’s bad kiss it doesn’t matter, because after tonight we’ll never see each other again. And if it’s a good kiss, well,” they lower their voice in a way that makes Rolan shiver, “it’ll be a good memory for both of us.” Try as he might, Rolan can’t find any flaw in this logic. He’s weary of trying to persuade himself that he doesn’t want this, that he’s not curious to find out what Kells’ lips would feel like pressed against his. There’s no expectation on him to make this storybook-perfect; the only thing he has to do is lean in and close the space between them. So he does. Unfortunately Rolan’s eagerness has completely ruined his depth perception. His horns smack straight into Kells’ forehead before their lips can even get close enough to touch; they flinches in pain. Rolan immediately draws back, apologies spilling out of his mouth like water. “Zurgan, I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to, are you hurt? I’m sorry, let’s just forget about this and—”

Got my first hansry romance dialogue option 😭

I loved their dynamic by the end of the first game and to get to see it develop into romance is very rewarding!

I really think I chose the best possible time to get into these games, because god this is exactly the type of escapism I need right now

(Pebbles and I are on speaking terms again because she finally stopped dumping me at the mercy of bandits and getting me killed)
