“He did miss this…”

Had the great delight of commissioning the brilliant @infernaldaydreams to do these two fantastic illustrations of Manva and Enver! They were in before the patch but this quote fits so well…

I know that @bharv mentioning they wanted smut for their birthday was mostly a joke but... 👀

This is based on their fic Control which you all should *absolutely* go read and then also read all of their other fic

Hearts version and link to full under the cut!

Hey guys! So over the fantastic Gortash Week, I managed to finish my trilogy of Durgetash fics and I wanted to make a collective post about them.

They all sit within my bigger collection of Durgetash stuff, A Jewelled and Bloody Hand, but I think these three fics are the "meat" of that writing and I'm very, very proud of how they all turned out, and I hope you will enjoy them too. They're all rated "M" but mind the tags, these all don't shy away from the darker implications of both characters' pasts.

Part One: Monster, Mine

(art by the impeccable @mooreaux)

There is a beast haunting the city, and there is a tentative reaching of hands across the table. In pre-canon, Enver Gortash tries to find the truth of the Slayer.

Part Two: The Portrait

(Art by the incredible @lokorum)

Lord Gortash requests a portrait of his paramour. The pay is good, the contract legitimate. It seems almost too good to be true... In pre-canon, a young artist takes a job from an upcoming player in Baldur's Gate society.

Part Three: Stonemilker

(art by the infallible @muwitch)

He is always so good with words, erudite and sure. He always knows what to say. She is always so careful with words, until she finds she cannot be. As their relationship becomes more blurred and the lines between friends, companions, colleagues and lovers get ever more difficult to define, Manva Warhelm and Enver Gortash must find new words for each other.

All in all they're about 32,800 words, a little novella's worth, and I have been so thrilled with the response to them and to have been able to both commission and in the case of the final piece to have been gifted art by such incredible creators to bring it to life.

Is your OC ever wrong? Big ways? Small ways? About what?

expose your durge!!!!

She's an obligate necrophile! But hey that's on the GAME, it heavily implies it! She also ate a baby!

I'd say her most "normal" unsavoury detail is that she believes that we all must shoulder suffering and those that don't are weak, pathetic, unclean and unholy. I think that's pretty out of whack.
