Hello! Welcome to my Tumblr!
This is my semi-secret corner of the internet where I can go bananas about my interests. I am full of feelings and I never shut up. Currently brainrotting over Gale Dekarios, bloodweave, and a handful of other Gale ships!
I draw and also do a bit of writing! Happily indulging in the former, trying my best with the latter- fic links are below, and I've got a handful of WIPs that I'm pretty excited about.

Links to my fics! In progress fics are at the top ⬇
Feel the Breeze and Deeply Breathe - (Bloodweave // E // 21.9k+ words) - Astarion's existence is simple: eat fish, collect trinkets, and always listen when the master calls. After centuries of dragging sailors down into the dark, it only takes one fateful encounter to remind him of something long-forgotten: he was not always a monster. For day 4 of Bloodweave Week 2025 - AU Day! IN PROGRESS
The Warren - (Bloodweave // E // 4.2k+ words) - A one-in-a-million encounter crosses the paths of Astarion, an Alpha finally getting his life together after a directionless decade, and Gale, a community college professor by day and an entertainer at an omega club by night. Or, an extremely self-indulgent fox/bunny omegaverse longfic in which Gale suffers, Astarion vibes, and they also happen to fall in love.
Hop to it! - (Bloodweave // E // 3.4k words) - Gale decides to take a step outside his comfort zone and dip his toes into aesthetics once thought abandoned. Of course, this is Gale so it's less a dip and more a full-body dive. OR! Gale gets dolled up in bunny lingerie and has a lot of feelings about it. Good feelings. Hooray! 🐇🐇🐇
In Case of Death - (Bloodweave // E // 4.2k words) - AKA The Nine Lives of Gale Dekarios - written in celebration of Dead Gale Week with a little Spell Rot treato to suit Day 5
Dragonscale Bonds - (Gale/Minsc & Bloodweave // E // 5.8k words) - The day after defeating Orin, Gale is left at the Elfsong in the care of Minsc to recover from the ordeal. Unfortunately, the process of healing from being a Bhaalists's pincushion for a tenday is only a fraction of what's eating away at him. Now he's stuck at camp, hopelessly pining after their rogue, and grappling with just how damnably burdensome he is on the rest of his companions... Or- Gale gets a perspective change and a lesson in love by being folded by the big dumb ranger. Yippie! 🎉
Perfect - (Bloodweave // G // 4.8k words) - There's no denying that Gale and Astarion met under... strange circumstances, so what better time than Lliira's Night to meet as strangers and treat each other to something sweet and ordinary? For day 7 of Bloodweave Week - Masquerade & Stargazing
Let Me Be Your Own - (Bloodweave // M // 1.7k words) - The night Gale changes from dark consort to vampiric bride, and what a relief it is. For day 1 of Bloodweave Week 2025 - Post-Canon & Sunrise
Hold Person - (Bloodweave // E // 28k words) - Astarion has a complicated relationship with physical touch. It brings up a wellspring of memories best left forgotten, and he doesn't even know if he could enjoy it anymore should he ever let anyone close enough to try... or five times Astarion sees Gale being held and has a lot of difficult feelings about it + the one time he does it himself and knows exactly how he feels about it.
To Be Good - (Bloodweave // E // 1.5k words) - Fixing caveman Gale's horrible self-worth issues by (consensually!!!) hunting him for sport! For the Baldur's Cave monosyllabic writing challenge 💜
With Silver Tongue - (Bloodweave // M // 11k words) - Astarion decides to pay a visit to Waterdeep (and his favorite wizard), only to intercept Gale just as he is about to embark on a mysterious journey into the Sword Mountains. Done for a fic exchange! Features silver dragon Gale, a whole lot of pining, and a non-linear timeline!
Double Date - (Bloodweave // T // 5.7k words) - It's the night of the Rivington Public Library's annual fundraiser dinner, and though Astarion has come to enjoy his new, quiet life as a librarian, tonight has proven rather challenging... and it's all Gale's fault. Done for a fic exchange! Features miscommunication, some light emotional hurt/comfort, and snowy smooches!
I'm Smitten, Kitten - (Bloodweave // M // 12.8k words) - Astarion is the deeply under-appreciated social media manager for ProFang Ascension, an online media company, where he is constantly trying to put out the fires started by his terrible boss. Fortunately for him, his dear friend Shadowheart has just the thing to help him decompress- a voucher for the sleepy little cat café she works at. --- Or, a slow-paced, laid-back, extremely fluffy first meeting between an Astarion who is trying really hard to have a bad time, and a very tired Gale who will ensure that does not happen.
At Last - (Bloodweave// T // 4.7k words) - The orb is stabilized and Gale gets to have a big ugly cry as a treat. Please heed the tags and proceed with caution- there is some non-graphic rumination on Gale's mission from Mystra/Elminster.
Song of Rest - (The Dark Urge/Gale // T // 3k words) - Gale aches, and the Dark Urge has a means of alleviating it, if only for a little while. Pining and ruminating on the similarities between their plights from the POV of my human Dark Urge bard, Paris.

You may know me as SamOnCD-ROM on Bluesky! I intentionally do not link my Tumblr or AO3, nor talk about my fics much on there, and I'd appreciate you doing the same. I do a lot of commission work on my main Bsky and keeping light separation makes it easier for me to relax over here 😊
I am also quietly lurking in a few BG3-related Discords 💜
