Sing, Muse! (yet another raunchy BG3 fic from me)

The post-Absolute reunion party is a joyous occasion, and Kestrel and Halsin know exactly how to celebrate: seducing the bard.

(happy kinktober this is the most shameless thing I've ever written and I hope you all love it so so much)

Round 1 — Match 36 / 77 — Nettie vs. Milil

Nettie is a dwarven druid in the Circle of the Emerald Grove in Act One. Nettie is a student under First Druid Halsin. In his absence, she is the primary healer in the Emerald Grove.

"i think nettie gets unfairly dunked on because people act like she’s being evil, and it’s more like… she’s living in a grove that’s already on the edge, everyone’s stressed, there’s goblins outside, halsin is missing, and suddenly you show up with the single worst piece of information a healer can hear (“there’s a mind flayer parasite in my head”). she’s not doing this because she’s power tripping, she’s doing it because she’s terrified of what you could become in the middle of their home. and the part that sticks with me is how it can go a bunch of ways—if you lie, she panics harder and tries to dose you; if you’re straight with her, she still can’t fix it, but she gives you that awful “last resort” option and makes you swear. it’s such a believable little moment of “good intentions + fear + limited resources” colliding. also, bonus: if you handle it without murdering her, it makes the grove feel more real to me - like there are people here trying to do medicine and harm reduction while everyone else is arguing about rites and borders. nettie’s just… in the trenches."

vs.

Milil is a divine entity encountered in the Epilogue. He is a dour bard who plays a Lute and supplements his music with a band of spiritual instruments.

"i’m obsessed with the idea that milil is a whole deity and still got basically yoinked into the function by withers like “you owe me.” and he’s just there, doing his divine performance, with the floating spirit instruments backing him up like a magical one-man band, and he looks SO over it?? not in a “i hate music” way, in a “i’m an ancient entity and i cannot believe this is how my evening is going” way. it’s the most “gods are real but they’re still employees” moment in the entire game."

This took me three days to finish and I just about lost my mind. I really like the idea of Aiden exploring his faith/religion and eventually doing so alongside Gale. Also he has his own cat alongside Tara, who is just my irl cat Bowser.

Transcript and close ups will be below the cut!

I'm sorry, WHAT!?

You have a) no right to be this talented, and b) no right to make me feel so loved on a Sunday evening.
