Sleeping In
Rating: Gen Universe: Baldur's Gate 3 Pairings: Karlack Cliffgate/Wyll Ravengard Characters: Wyll Ravengard, Karlach Cliffgate Warnings: None Major Tags: Fluff, Mild Hurt/Comfort, Cuddling & Snuggling, Lazy Mornings, Sharing a Bed, Wyll Ravengard Needs a Hug, POV Wyll Ravengard Word count: 200 - Double Drabble
Summery: Wyll hasn't slept in a good bed for far too long…
For the: ✦ WyllWeek2024 Day 7 prompt: “Morning”
Read below or on AO3 -HERE-
Tumblr media
Groaning, Wyll rubs his face into the soft pillow beneath his head. So soft and warm.
He digs his fingers into the sheets like a satisfied cat.
It's been just over eight years since he'd slept in a proper bed. He was never leaving it.
"Time to get up, Soldier!"
"Mrrrrmgh," Wyll grumbles, digging his face dipper into the pillow.
"Wyll! C'mon," Karlach laughs. "We got so much to do, so much to see. We don't have time to sleep in. I want to see how much the city has changed. I want to check out the rebuilding!"
Wyll grumbles, rolling away and curling into a ball, his knees tucked up against his chest. "M' cmfy..."
There's a pause.
For a terrifying moment, Wyll wonders if he'd messed up. If he'd hurt Karlach. ...feels like a cold river had opened up in his chest. Maybe he should get up. He's feeling much more awake now.
Then the bed dips. And warmth presses against Wyll's back. Karlach's strong arms are wrapped around him, pulling him close.
"Alright. But this is your idea if your father complains. Got it?"
"Mhm," Wyll mumbles, covering her hand with his and falling back to sleep.
THE END
I imagine that Wyll wakes early in the morning (regardless of if he is a morning person of not), that's just how he was brought up. But I think he should get to sleep in every once in a while... as a treat.

Dancing into Happily Ever After
Rating: Gen Universe: Baldur's Gate 3 Pairings: Karlach Cliffgate/Wyll Ravengard Characters: Wyll Ravengard, Karlach Cliffgate Warnings: None Major Tags: Fluff, Happily Ever After, Established Relationship, Ballroom Dancing, Married Couple, POV Wyll Ravengard Word count: 100 - Drabble
Summery: Wyll and Karlach share a dance.
For the: ✦ WyllWeek2024 Day 6 prompt: “Dance”
Read below or on AO3 -HERE-
Tumblr media
This is it. This is what happily ever afters are meant to feel like.
Karlach's hand is warm against his own. Her skirts swirl and brush against his legs. Feather light and swift as his heart.
They made it, they survived.
Wyll pulls her in for a spin. His heart skips a beat at her carefree laughter.
Avernus was behind them. They were home.
The music slows as the song comes to an end.
Wyll dips her. The crowd is watching them, but all he has eyes for is her.
"Another dance?" he asks.
Karlach laughs. "You got it, husband."
THE END
I thought of having Karlach call Wyll "soldier" at the end, but husband was just so sweet. Is this there wedding? Are they already married at this point? Did they marry in Avernus or did they wait until they got out? Idk…

Deer and Ale
Rating: Gen Universe: Baldur's Gate 3 Pairings: Gale Dekarios & Wyll Ravengard (Gen or maybe more) Characters: Wyll Ravengard, Gale Dekarios Warnings: Referenced hunting animals Major Tags: Fluff, Mild Hurt/Comfort, Teasing, Hugs, Wyll Ravengard Needs a Hug, Blade of Avernus Wyll Ravengard, POV Wyll Ravengard Word count: 200 - Double Drabble
Summery: Wyll prepares to celebrate…
For the: ✦ WyllWeek2024 Day 5 prompt: “Warmth”
I thought about doing something about Karlach keeping Wyll warm, but the next two works are pretty much that (In a way)... so I decided to try to come up with a different idea. More of warm feelings than physical warmth.
Read below or on AO3 -HERE-
Tumblr media
Wyll makes his way back to the camp with a spring in his step and a barrel of brown ale under each arm.
By the fire stands Gale, inspecting the deer that had been freshly caught. He looks up from the dear with a dry expression. "I hear you've usurped my cooking duties tonight," the man says.
"Yes," Wyll says, setting down the ale. "I know you like to be in charge of cooking. But it's just for tonight."
"Don't like my cooking that much, hmm?" Gale says, "I must say this," the man gestures at the deer, "doesn't much look like a vegetable to me."
"You're a great cook, Gale," he says in a rush. "Promise. It's just-"
A grin breaks across the wizard's face, and his eyes shine with warmth. "It's just a special occasion. I know. Tav told me. I just wanted to tease."
Wyll lets out a relieved breath.
"The Blade of Avernus!" Gale proclaims. "I'd say that's worth celebrating."
"A new name for a new me," Wyll says, feeling the smile return to his face.
Gale pulls Wyll into a tight embrace, "I'm glad you've reconsidered the whole warlock thing."
Wyll laughs, his heart warm.
THE END
I loved how excited Wyll was (and fair enough too). I really wanted to celebrate his victory with him. Hail! Blade of Avernus! <3

Softest Touch
Rating: Gen Universe: Baldur's Gate 3 Pairings: Wyll Ravengard & his friends Characters: Wyll Ravengard Warnings: None Major Tags: Fluff, Birds, Mild Hurt/Comfort, Wyll Ravengard Needs a Hug, POV Wyll Ravengard Word count: 100 - Drabble
Summery: Wyll feels a touch on one of his horns during a short rest.
For the: ✦ WyllWeek2024 Day 4 prompt: “Touch”
Read below or on AO3 -HERE-
Tumblr media
Wyll and his companions are taking a short rest. They'd taken on a pack of goblins and were making their way back to the Grove.
He sits with his back against a tree, eyes closed, enjoying the respite.
Then there is a pressure against one of his horns.
Before he can move, his friends are telling him not to.
Wyll holds still. Every fibre of his being preparing to fight. He feels an odd scrapping against the horn, light.
His friends watch- not in alarm, but awe.
Then the thing on his horn starts singing.
A little bird.
Wyll smiles.
THE END
When I was playing the game a thought came to me. Wyll has a lot of feelings about his horns (and some of the other changes done to him)… I wondered how it'd make him feel if a gentle, often skittish, creature (originally I thought about a deer) felt comfortable enough around him even with his horns. If that might help him feel a little better. Not much better, but a step towards healing maybe?

Little Hero
Rating: Gen Universe: Baldur's Gate 3 Pairings: None Characters: Wyll Ravengard Warnings: None Major Tags: Fluff, Kid Fic, Young Wyll Ravengard, POV Wyll Ravengard Word count: 100 - Drabble
Summery: One day, Wyll's going to be a mighty hero of Baldur's Gate!
For the: ✦ WyllWeek2024 Day 3 prompt: “Hero”
I was going to write something different for this prompt, but the image of a young Wyll practicing to become a hero just got to me okay? 😭
Read below or on AO3 -HERE-
Tumblr media
Wyll jumps down in front of the mirror, striking a pose.
He stands tall, back held straight, his mighty sword at his hip. His right hand braced in front of his chest. His cape drags along the floor behind him, and his father's helmet slowly slips down.
"Never fear, good citizen!! For I, the Sword of the Sword Coast, will save you!"
He grins proudly at his reflection.
Then pauses to think.
Something was missing...
A companion!!
Baldur had Ansur. Minsc had Boo.
He needs one too. Nodding to himself, Wyll heads out on a quest to find his friend.

Field of Flowers
Rating: Gen Universe: Baldur's Gate 3 Pairings: Lily Aurora & Wyll Ravengard Characters: Wyll Ravengard, Lily Aurora Ravengard Warnings: None Major Tags: Everything is Beautiful and Nothing Hurts, Family Fluff, Flower Crowns, Flowers, Devil Wyll Ravengard, POV Wyll Ravengard Word count: 200 - Double Drabble
Summery: Wyll enjoys a moment of peace.
For the: ✦ WyllWeek2024 Day 2 prompt: “Flowers”
Read below or on AO3 -HERE-
Tumblr media
Wyll breathes, savouring the moment of peace. In. Out. Nice and slow. He's loose and relaxed, his body moulding to the soft soil beneath him.
His clothes might need a wash, but he does not regret the time he's spent here lying among the flowers.
The sun was warm on his skin. The breeze, a cool balm carrying the soft scent of the flowers surrounding him.
He opens his eyes to gaze at the sky, at the slow, fluffy clouds above him.
A loud cry splits the air- "Father!"- followed by boisterous laughter.
It's all the warning he gets before Lily Aurora Ravengard throws herself into his arms. Her smile is bright and infectious.
He does not fight the smile he feels spreading on his face.
Wyll takes his girl into his arms, laughing as she squeals with delight.
"Father, no!" she laughs. "You'll ruin it!"
"Ruin what?" he asks.
Lily sits back and presents her hard work. A long chain of various flowers strung together from the field. "I made it for you," she says.
Wyll ducks his head, letting her wrap the flower crown around his head and horns.
He gives her forehead a soft kiss in thanks.

Getting Ready
Rating: Gen Universe: Baldur's Gate 3 Pairings: Tav/Wyll Ravengard, Gale Dekarios & Karlach Cliffgate & Wyll Ravengard Characters: Wyll Ravengard, Karlach Cliffgate, Gale Dekarios Warnings: None Major Tags: Fluff, Very light Hurt/Comfort, First Dates, Devil Wyll Ravengard, Unnamed Tav, Tav's gender isn't brought up, POV Wyll Ravengard Word count: 100 - Drabble
Summery: Karlach and Gale help Wyll get ready for Tav.
For the: ✦ WyllWeek2024 Day 1 prompt: “Date”
(I only just discovered this event. Hours before it's end. AHhhhhhHhhhH!!! But I love Wyll. Not enough time to do art, but time enough for some drabbles? I hope I'm not too late. Regardless, I can't say I regret writing a few drabbles for Wyll.)
Read below or on AO3 -HERE-
Tumblr media
"Keep still, soldier!" Karlach admonishes lightly, swatting his shoulder with the cloth she'd been using to polish his horns.
Wyll holds up his hands in surrender with a small laugh. "Sorry."
"No. You're not," Gale says, opening up a jar of something glossy and sparkly.
"No," he admits, feeling his face heat, "I'm not." He hasn't smiled this much for a long time. His cheeks were beginning to hurt.
With careful fingers, Gale applied the gel to his face.
"Tav's gonna love you," Karlach says proudly.
For the first time in weeks, Wyll looks into the mirror... feeling good. Happy.

Choking Misunderstanding
Rating: Explicit Universe: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Pairings: Edgin Darvis/Xenk Yendar Characters: Xenk Yendar, Edgin Darvis Warnings: Sexual Content Major Tags: Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Humour, (Failed) Kink Negotiation, Choking, Miscommunication, Top Edgin Darvis, Bottom Xenk Yendar, Omega Xenk Yendar, Post-Movie, POV Edgin Darvis Word count: 400 - Quadruple Drabble
Summery: Edgin tries to bring something new to the bedroom. …There is a slight misunderstanding.
For the: ✦ @afgomegaversebingo prompt: “Look, I'm not into choking, but I wouldn't mind if you grabbed me by the neck every once in a while” [I2]
Read below or on AO3 -HERE-
Tumblr media
Xenk groans beneath him, calloused hands desperately pawing at Edgin... needing to touch and be touched in turn. Those lovely hands. Generous, sure and strong.
Edgin lets go of Xenk's hip, earning a whine in response, and takes one of Xenk's hands in his own. Pressing it to his chest.
There's something that's been on his mind for some time now, but he’s unsure how to broach it. Xenk wouldn't reject him harshly if he’s not interested. He takes a chance. "Look, I'm not into choking, but I wouldn't mind if you grabbed me by the neck every once in a while," he says. Watching Xenk as he waits for his response.
Xenk stares up at him, flushed and needy, his face slack with pleasure. He can see the wheels turning behind Xenk's eyes as he works through Edgin's request. His pleasure-hazed gaze keeps falling to where his hand lay on Edgin's chest. He nods.
Edgin grins, excited. He lets his eyes slip closed and continues thrusting within Xenk's tight heat. Licking his lips, he feels Xenk's hand slide up to his neck, dragging across his mating glands. A slight pressure to his touch. So smooth! So good! Gods!
With his free hand, he grabs Xenk's thigh. Digging his fingers into the firm, thick flesh there. Pleasure tingles through him as his omega groans lowly at his touch.
His lover's hand reaches his neck. Edgin leans forward, giving Xenk a better vantage.
Xenk then cups the back of his neck like a friendly greeting between friends. Firm but gentle.
Edgin opens his eyes and looks down at Xenk, his movements faltering.
The legs around his waist tighten as Xenk's wriggles in his grasp, displeased at the pause. "Edgin..." His mate gazes up at him pleadingly.
"That's-" Edgin stares at Xenk, trying to work out what was happening. He takes a moment.
Xenk's squirming ceases.
Edgin quickly realises that there has been a small miscommunication between them. Not uncommon, certainly not the worst. "That wasn't exactly what I meant, honey," he says softly, reaching up to take Xenk's hand, cradling it gently.
"I'm confused,"
"Darling, I wanted you to choke me," he says, "Just a little."
"You explicitly said that you were not into choking." Xenk frowns, "That you wished for me to grab you by the neck. Is that not as I have done?"
"No. Yes. I mean..."
Edgin sighs.

Wanted
Rating: Teens Universe: Black Sails Pairings: Captain Flint | James McGraw/Charles Vane Characters: Captain Flint | James McGraw, Charles Vane, John Silver Warnings: Implied Sexual Content Major Tags: Flirting, Humour, Pre-Relationship, Queer Captain Flint, The Walrus, Post-Season 02, POV Captain Flint Word count: 300 - Triple Drabble
Summery: Flint hangs a wanted poster in his cabin.
For the: ✦ @anyfandomgoesbingo prompt: “Free Space” [N3]
Read below or on AO3 -HERE-
Tumblr media
With careful fingers, he holds the nail in place, readying the hammer in his other hand. The door to the cabin opens, and James sighs. Yet another unwelcome visitor. Great.
Uneven steps approach from behind. "What's this? The men already fear you," Silver says, "A poster is not going to add to that in any measure. Not any more than your usual... presence - at any rate."
James keeps his gaze fixed upon the wanted poster, his visage staring back at him with cold, dead eyes.
"Why bother?" Silver asks.
Ignoring Silver won't make him any more likely to leave. So James responds. "It's nice to know someone wants me."
A pause.
"DEAD!" Silver exclaims, "They want you dead!"
"I don't think I can be too picky these days," James responds, bringing the hammer down upon the nail in two sharp strikes. He runs his thumb over the head of the nail, ensuring it's flush with the wood.
"I want you- alive! -captaining this crew!" Silver says, stepping forward.
James laughs hollowly. "It's not the same though, is it?" he says, accessing his work. The poster looked to be hung straight. "That's a need, not a want, borne from necessity." He sets the hammer down and turns towards Silver, "England wants me dead." He approaches slowly, each step deliberate and heavy. Staring the man down. "Desires to have me swinging by my neck." He stops. Grins. "A touch morbid, perhaps, but it's nice to be desired."
The original interloper pipes up from his occupation of James' chair. "I have a burning desire for you, Flint," Vane says, a satisfied smirk tugging languidly at his lips.
"If it burns," James drawls, letting his gaze drop purposefully to Vane's crotch, "should I dare go near it?"
Vane's smirk melts quickly into a frown.

Xenk’s hair was being twisted lovingly. The fire amplified the fragrance of the oil. Edgin's fingers rubbed over his scalp, slowly. Xenk closed his eyes. 
"You know I do not allow anyone to touch my hair." 
"Duh. Do you think I allow just anyone to sit between my legs?"
"You give your permission to Kira, Holga and-"
"Wha--they don't count!" Edgin's hand tightened around a lock.
"What about me?"
"You-"
Xenk gave a sharp inhale.
"Shit, sorry!"
Xenk took the fingers that were stroking his skin. He pressed them to his lips. Edgin sighed. 
The oil had never seemed sweeter.

[That love is like a star
It's gone, we just see it shining
It's travelled very far]
I have sat in rendering hell on this piece for like. A MONTH!! So worth it. Consider this a manifestation for my love of Wyll Ravenguard (and I haven't even completed a romance route with him yet!)
(Below is going to be me ranting about the state of his route/content in the game. If you don't want to read that, feel free to just stare at the pretty colours and move on :])
But WOOF. So many frustrations with how his route plays (as of patch 4, the last run I completed!) I've seen people comparing the lack of his development Act 3 with Karlach, and I honestly don't think they're comparable at all. Yes, it's obvious there was more planned (I can't even remember how much extra infernal iron we have at the end of act 3), but she at least has a cohesive narrative emotionally. She resonates! Wyll (by no fault of Theo, whose voice acting is stellar).. did not, for us. At the end of everyone else's personal quest, we were practically crying, but by his? We were mostly confused - due almost entirely to the very convoluted and buggy implementation of his story beats. Let alone that the whole wyrmway sequence becomes way more about the Emporer than him, or that his final speech triggered three seperate times for us consecutively, or the mess with Mizora, the Grand Duke, and Florrick after we defied her to save his father. He's given no agency as a character over his own choices compared to the other companions (at some of his most pivotal moments, as tav you choose his future for him without even a roll!) It was so, so disappointing. I love Wyll, especially Act 1 - but you can seriously feel the lack of polish or finish for his character in the game right now. And regardless of the team's intentions, he's the only Black origin character. That shit has an impact (doubly so when you consider how bg3 imports dnd/forgotten realm's well-discussed racism pretty much wholesale). He deserves as much agency and autonomy over his own story as every other origin character, and I seriously hope he gets it, soon. 'Til then, that's the majesty of fandom, right?

I was very much vomiting, screaming and crying when they showed Xenk’s traumatic origin story so of course I have to draw a self-indulgent Edgin using his bardic abilities to sing some dreamless and restful sleep for Xenk OnO
