One thing that just doesn't get talked about enough with Halsin is the implications scattered throughout that deep down, he is afraid of himself. He is afraid of becoming a violent person who could harm the vulnerable, even children, if something went wrong and his inhibitions were removed.
Which leaves two possibilities.
He once DID get violent where the situation didn't cause it, to disastrous adults (I think this possibility, makes sense for the cut story where he killed Isobel [even if it was in self-defense, he clearly thought he acted disproportionately] but not as much in canon)
This is an extension of his guilt complex giving him irrational fears about himself. There is no reason for him to think he could do such awful things but he fears being Bad so much that he can't stop thinking about it.
Both possibilities are heartbreaking.
The birthday gift - Part 2
Halsin x f!Tav/Reader
Title might be replaced in the future
-> A/N: Guess what people, I have written more-!
Halsin really does bring out my creativity like nothing else and I even have ideas for a third part **huhoo**
Please be aware that I might change some of this in the future to fit the next part and that i wrote most of it while sleep deprived; if i missed any typos or the likes hit me up with a private message or something
So yeah anyways, about the story:
Halsin and Tav (= You/ Reader) wake up the morning after their first night together (see here for details) and go about their days doing hero stuff. When things turn stressful for you, Halsin comforts you and takes you to Bloomridge park to unwind, not anticipating the effect some simple honey eating has on your desire to suckle ... other things.
-> Genre? Fluff & Smut/ Porn with Plot, some hurt/comfort
-> Tags? Oral + handjob (m!receiving), food play, praise kink (for reader), public (kinda) sex/ outdoor sex, dom!Halsin (but he is still a sweetie pie ofc), uhh yea if i missed anything let me know :)
-> Words? 5.7 k
-> Reblogs & Comments? Greatly appreciated <3
-> Hotel? Trivago
I am once again screaming inside because at his core Halsin is a deeply PLAYFUL person!
His playful, sarcastic "I AM?!" when you say he's big for an elf! He has banters where he teasingly roasts Shadowheart AND Gale at different times! He teases that you might be a lunatic for freeing a bear without knowing if it would attack you, he indulges the Drow twins by changing into a bear and letting the player ride him around, he loves bear puns (or really animal jokes in general), the way he flexes his muscles if the player mentions him moving things three grown men couldn't...
He wants to PLAY!!! The reason he's so serious for most of the story isn't because he's just the "sage wise archdruid" but because all the trauma he's faced FORCED him to be. Given the slightest bit of a chance to be himself (like traveling with a camp full of weirdos), he instantly shows his playful side, and it only comes out more in his epilogue.
He just wants to play!!
WHUMP THAT BEAR
The game gives seriously so many whumpable ideas for Halsin.
He has been kidnapped two, possibly three times by the end of the game. One of which involved him becoming a sex slave and one of which involved him being tortured by goblins.
He can't always control his bear form. Has transforming at the wrong time ever hurt him?
He doesn't fit in at his Grove, and especially he hates being leader of his Grove. He must be awful lonely.
He saw almost all his friends and his mentor die in battle. Imagine him wearily leading the survivors to safety.
He has abandonment issues! Literally any time you break up with him, split the group up in the end, etc he says he knows nothing lasts forever. He is SHOCKED you want to go with him to his commune, and if solomanced he is fully convinced the party will remind you how much you loved adventuring, causing you to leave him.
He used to have a drinking problem! Imagine all the angst there!
That scar on his face. He must have gotten FUUUUCKED UPPPP to be so badly scarred that magic couldn't fix it.
His entire family is dead, and died when he was young at that!
His reputation from when he was a sex slave is such that the Drow twins had already heard of him.
The player has the ability to threaten to sell him back to his captors- imagine a whumper doing that to him.
The Grove raid! Imagine his agony at realizing all the Druids he cared for are dead.
Similarly, the Rite of Thorns- his knowledge that his Druids wanted him gone.
If he's kidnapped by Orin, his reaction to being rescued- or to Speak With Dead being used on his corpse- makes it clear he never expected to be saved. How does he get to THAT point?
He mentions people have tried to start fights with him before because he's big and they want to prove their strength like how sad must that have been for him????
The Orin abduction scenes hint that he is actually terrified of losing control of himself and harming innocents. Imagine what must have happened to make him afraid of that- either having done it before, OR thinking so lowly of himself that he thinks it actually could happen despite the lack of evidence.
And that's not even getting into all the cut early game build whump...

Maybe it's the new year's alcohol talking, but I find myself thinking about... Halsin who genuinely and truly enjoys people coming on to him, and being open and forthcoming about their inclinations and desires (see his dialogue with a duergar when they hit on him - "are you coming on to me? Let's skip straight to the sweaty stuff" "you are not bound by social niceties... I like that" and him reassuring the player that he "would have done the same" if they hit on him @ the tief party and then apologize the next day) vs Halsin who... Approves and sees it as a romance flag if you /do/ apologize the next day. He likes it when you come onto him, but he also likes it if you.. apologize for taking it too far. He likes it when people consider his boundaries, when they think about his feelings. I think he's so used to people "imagining his feelings can't be hurt" and seeing him as a conquest that part of his romantic feelings for the player stem from a place of genuinely feeling heard and considered by them.
Anyway Halsin with feelings...
Halsin with a partner who was a parentified child and had to claw their way out of that caretaker role, and who sees a lot of their old self in Halsin and wants to help him remember that the entire world is not his burden to carry, that he exists as a person outside of that leader role. Or if you want some sadness, a parentified partner who gets triggered by Halsin's (sometimes unhealthy) "I will fix everything" attitude.
Bye ❤️ Love what you do ! ❤️
No no you're so right because he really does need someone to tell him it's not his job to take care of the entire world. I need him to learn the line between helpfulness and burdening yourself with other people's responsibilities. Sometimes bad things will happen, sometimes they aren't your fault and it isn't your responsibility to do anything about it, sometimes you can't save everyone. I need someone to tell him to take care of himself and I need him to not understand what that even really means. Oooooh this is so painful
This is far and away one of my favorite screenshots I've ever taken. Al'vrin and Halsin are so fed up. Like they are absolutely READY to tear this guy apart. It's one of the very few situations where either of them get genuinely pissed it's hilarious
Karlach, Shadowheart and Astarion Helping Tav Through a Nightmare
{~Masterlist~}
Word Count: 3.1k
Karlach
The lightest sleeper you’ve ever met. A pin could drop and she’d wake to it. Spending ten years at war amongst back-stabbing devils will do that to you. Though she’s found sleeping with a partner had helped, a luxury she only allowed when she was sure she wouldn’t burn you alive at night. Still, sleep is a rather fleeting gift you give, and even if you calm her enough not to wake at a mildly aggressive crackle from the distant camp fire, it doesn’t stop her being immediately torn from sleep when it sounds like you might be in trouble.
Her body shoots awake at your first caught breath, eyes blinking at the strange emptiness of you not safely tucked into her arms. She sits up quickly, finding you a few inches away. Shivering from the cold, she initially thinks. But the whimper of something distinctly worse seizes her infernal heart for a long moment. She leans over, studying you, hoping that she wouldn’t find a horror scene on the other side. Her mind flits to old memories – bloody memories. She is thankful to find you still in one piece, though your distress doesn’t make it seem so. Your face contorts into something wrong, choked breathing the sign of silent cries. Yet your eyes stay screwed shut, mind somewhere else entirely.

Gale with a partner who refuses to let other people dictate their life and him thinking that they just haven't met a person worth serving yet. Him slowly realizing through them that he doesn't actually have to worship and serve for the hope of being loved but that he can be loved even when he isn't giving a part of himself away.
Shadowheart with a partner who's an open book. Her thinking them naive and helpless, perhaps even unable to control themselves and their loose tongue. Her slowly realizing that hiding away emotions and parts of herself isn't actually all that healthy and that what she mistook for brazen foolishness was actually just them being comfortable with themselves.
Astarion with a partner who is genuinely kind. Him assuming them to be just another fool to swindle that would waste their time on anyone and thus wouldn't make it very far. Him watching their helpful nature get them farther than he would have thought and him being a little bitter about it. Him having to come to terms with the fact that the world of misery he lived in before played by different rules, and now he has the chance to genuinely choose kindness rather than reject it outright.
Karlach with a partner who is stoic and unbelievably calm, an unusually steady force in her whirlwind of a life. Her quick anger and impulsive nature getting her into constant trouble that they sometimes have to pull her out of. Her insane guilt the first time this gets them hurt. Her struggling to stay calm and think ahead when nearly her whole life has been a struggle to stay alive for just one more day.
Lae'zel with a partner who's curious and eager to learn about the world. Her having to grapple with just how little of the world she's actually experienced, and how half of what she does know of it are lies or half truths filtered through propaganda. Her either becoming insanely curious herself to make up for it, asking her partner constant questions and being eager to learn from them, or her shutting down and feeling overwhelmed as her world view completely shatters, causing her to become distant and more abrasive towards her partner as they constantly remind her of her suddenly very obvious lack of knowledge.
Minthara with a partner who doesn't have any large grand ambition or plan for their life and her struggling to understand how anyone could go through life without throwing themselves entirely to some greater cause. Her trying to force ambition onto them for a while, hoping they might find the spark she is so sure they are missing. Her chasing fulfillment, never satisfied with her station, and having to grapple with a partner who is genuinely happy no matter where their life leads.
Halsin with a partner who's grown bitter and angry at the world. Him arguing for the beauty still left in it but secretly fighting himself to not agree after all the darkness he and his lover have lived through. Him struggling to restore hope to them when they were the first to give him any hope in decades. Him not admitting any of this.
Wyll with a partner who is a homebody at heart. Him wanting to go on grand adventures with them and having to understand that they just want peace. They don't want to be in constant danger fighting off evil, but at home with the people they love and a warm bed to sleep in. Him feeling conflicted, his sense of duty to others denying him that peace for a long time. Maybe slowly coming around to the idea, tired and world weary after years or decades of chasing glory and helping all he could. Him finally allowing himself the time to be himself instead of whatever latest moniker was bestowed upon him. Him learning to let go of the guilt and allow himself the peace he tries so desperately to give to others.
Falling in love with their opposite and it forcing them to rethink fundamental parts of themselves.
the spirit is willing but the flesh is so fucking out of it rn. actually the flesh would like to pack it up and leave. it's done with the horrors.
My little brother just said that Gortash looks like an 1800's peasant during wartimes and I can't stop laughing
The image he saw, if any of you were wondering

no, my type is not “bad boys”. my type is emotionally repressed, morally principled, devastatingly loyal men with unresolved trauma and one (1) insanely tender smile.
Gale falling into obsessive, almost worship like tendencies with his partner, sometimes forgetting they are just as human and thus just a fallible as him.
Shadowheart having trouble talking about herself and how she's feeling, keeping unnecessary secrets that sometimes spiral out of control.
Halsin falling back into a leadership mindset, removing his own emotions/wants/needs in favor of the greater good of the group, sometimes to the determent of his own relationships.
Karlach who is so afraid of being alone again that she becomes desperately clingy and protective, to the point of smothering.
Astarion who is so deathly afraid of being trapped and controlled again that he sometimes refuses to listen to his partner just to know that he can.
Lae'zel feeling so vulnerable when around her partner that she overcompensates by performing an even tougher exterior, especially around other people.
Wyll struggling to find peace in the small intimate moments when his hero fantasies and hopeless romanticism push him to make constant grand gestures.
Minthara being so down to the bone loyal that she loses a part of herself with each lost partner.
Broken people trying to love in spite of themselves...
