Does Gale/Karlach have a ship name yet? Because if not then I propose #BombSquad
And wow, they're such a rarepair that I can't even find any screencaps of them together to illustrate this post! Guess I know now whom I'll be romancing in my upcoming Gale origin run. Need to figure out how to take screencaps and make gifsets and such.
I feel like Gale and Karlach could be a fun pairing in both an "opposites attract" way but also in a "if I had a nickle for every touch-starved Team Tadpole member facing imminent death from a bomb in their chest, I would have two nickles -- that's not a lot, but it's weird that there's two of them" way.
Plus -- major endgame spoiler alert below the cut --
Given that one way to save Karlach is to have her volunteer to become an illithid, and Gale canonically is down to marry an illithid, they could actually live happily ever after together.
No because BombSquad. Karlach x Gale. Two beautifully kind people with big ol nukes in their chest. Need more content of them. Bad. Real bad.
Thinking about it because I got that banter line in the Dancing Axe where Karlach is like “wish i had one of those” and Gale goes “I can make you one, would you want that? :3” and she goes “YES I WOULD WANT THAT” and gales like well shit it’s settled, i’ll enchant one for you once our adventure is over.
Once our adventure is over .
once their adventure is over. where then Karlach has two options. and neither are very good places for a dancing axe. Devastating.

Summary:
“Because, you know,” Karlach continued, “My body could burn you right up.” She drew a scorching finger across his shoulder to emphasize her point. To his credit, Gale didn’t even flinch. “I have to use certain… tools to be with my partners. And if they can’t be in me, well… Is that what you want me to do, Gale? To take you?” Karlach leaned down closer, now inches from his face.
Gale licked his lips and slowly, deliberately nodded.
Karlach grinned.
I wasn't planning on writing a second chapter, but then I thought about how many possibilities there would be when Karlach could touch again... so that’s ch 2!
Well, here it is, the epilogue for Gale x Karlach where they’ve been fighting in the hells, and…it’s incredible 😂 Not only because we get to see Gale in his demon-fighting outfit, but also because his cheerful take on Avernus is everything I’d hoped it would be and more. Video below:
I don’t even know what the best part is, the fact that he dragged Karlach to the Barnes & Noble in Hell, or the fact that Tara still pops in to visit them occasionally 😆
