Day 21: Main character does something they don't enjoy
Taken from a snippet that ran a little away. Angsty, arguments, mentions of past abuse and Durge-amnesia, otherwise SFW.

Day 20 - Character doing something they enjoy
Being as sex-positive as Darius is, getting bound, pegged and whipped is pretty high up on the list of things he enjoys.
Written after going unhinged in a @/lunalaplays post.

Day 18: Something scary or a moment of fear
Dipping into the WIP's again.
Scene: young Darius, still named Durge, is thrown into the water and instructed to swim into land. The kid doesn't know how to swim.

Day 17: A moment of failure or embarrassment
Back to this again, and with a WIP this time!
Darius is so exhauted post Bhaal-throwdown he nearly falls over from sitting in a bed.

Day 16: A heroic moment!
Well. Kind of. More anti-heroic, actually.

#bg3 #bg3fanfic #Durge #Astarion
Astarion wandered between the trees, surrounded by the unnatural silence of nature that had been disturbed by too many travellers today, and that sensed the presence of the foreign predator. His anger quickly simmered down in the cold, damp air. The warmth of his lover's embrace seemed miles and miles away, maybe unreachable forever after all he had said. A loneliness he had hoped to never feel again engulfed him. He almost laughed. So he was even weaker than he had thought but instead of being filled with a scornful fire, he felt sad for himself. What was he even doing out here if it only made him feel worse? And as if to mock him, the only prey the gods had ushered across his path was a dumb old rat. His red eyes watched without blinking how the small thing cleaned its little face before it scuttled away and disappeared inside the brushwood. No rats. He'd rather starve than sell his pride for a rat. So, what now? He had hoped for a rabbit or maybe a fawn but without anything out to hunt, there wasn't much for him to do. He might as well go back. He should go back and apologise. Now that his temper had cooled down and he could think again, his words echoed in his head. It was painful. He didn't even want to hurt D'ylân, he just wanted his own hurting to stop. But of course, as useless as he was, he only made everything worse. He ruined the only good thing that ever happened to him by attacking D'ylân for things that weren't his fault. Well, since this was how he treated D'ylân when they first met, it was only fitting he ended them the same way. Really, who'd have thought that poetic justice could taste like bile? He leaned against one of the many trees and looked up. The moon peeked through the treetops, looking cold and beautiful up in the dark sky. Somewhere, from not too far away, water splashed playfully as the river they made camp at wound through the forest.

Day 15: A confession
Well. Sort of.
#Durge #Astarion #bg3fanfic #bg3queer #wip #wipfic #wipsnippet
White text on a black background reads: "It's been a nice evening." Bland, inoffensive. Tidus couldn't think of anything else to say. Yuna hummed in assent and pressed a pale hand to his thigh. Tidus' breath caught. He loved it when Yuna got like this, loose-limbed and restless. If they'd been alone together Tidus would have known where to go next. He looked down at Baralai, who was on his knees at Yuna's feet. Baralai was busy removing Yuna's silk slipper; when the slipper was discarded, he leaned forward and kissed Yuna's ankle. Tidus felt a tremor run through Yuna. He pulled her close and kissed her exposed shoulder. "What do you need?" asks Baralai, with a confidence that made Tidus shiver. Yuna squirmed in his lap.

Day 14: An action/fight scene.
I can't find any fighting; have some foreplay instead.
White text on a grey background reads: The evening was mellow, and Cecil and Edward sat beneath a leafy pergola sipping sweet wine. Cecil leaned back in his chair, sighed, and stretched. Edward, wanting something to do with his hands, took out a silk pouch and a long wooden pipe. He looked up at the west tower as he fussed with the pouch’s fastenings. The tower looked purple in the deepening dusk. As Edward watched, light came on in its solitary window; he looked away and flushed. “You should talk to her,” said Cecil, sounding sleepy. “What?” Edward, alarmed, almost dropped the pipe and the pouch. He placed them in his lap, and tried to ignore the way his hands trembled.

Day 13: A snippet you really like!
Edward, fidgeting. 🥰
White text on a black background reads: "Mika's expecting us within the hour," said Kinoc. Hurry it along, he thought. They both knew that they were there for. He couldn't stand all the teasing. Seymour chuckled, and traced Kinoc's earlobe with the side of his thumb. His long, sharp thumbnail was cold against the soft, pink flesh of Kinoc's ear. Kinoc shivered. "Mika has more time than any of us," intoned Seymour. "You and I both know that."

R: Teen, no warnings, quite fluffy.
White text on a black background reads: Auron was as decisive in this as he was in all things; Kinoc was happy to let the kiss happen. He gasped a little as they broke apart. Yes, it had been exactly the right kind of kiss. Auron stared at him, solemn. Kinoc flashed Auron one of his most winning smiles. He hoped Auron might take his fervour elsewhere; Kinoc’s cock was already taking interest. A small crease formed between Auron's brows, and he looked off to one side. “I love you.” “What?”

Day 17 - A moment of failure or embarrassment.
How about a really badly placed joke from Astarion that really upset Gilnor? (Sorry for the length, I had to include all of it for it to land properly)
Kenta scoffs, “And? Do you think I give a fuck? I watch you get dicked down regularly. You're like the free gay porn I never asked for.”
Day 3. Something funny.
More of a friend's personal selection lmao 😭😭😭

His bruises had slowly begun to heal once again, and Hancho was happy to note that there were fewer and fewer dark red swollen marks on his face now. The shape of his brows and the sharpness of his cheekbones awfully mirror Hancho's. So do the blue locks that began to grow back from the roots of his hair. He had been dying his hair black it seems, but now, he's not capable of keeping it up anymore. A few more days of this and they would truly look like twins, and wouldn't that be funny.
Day 2. Description of the main character.
I don't really do it much since the advantage of fanfics is that the readers already know, but sometimes its nice to see how they look under a character's biased lenses.

I feel like I'm cheating with this one. The sun. ☀️
But it plays an integral part of Astarion and Darius' story and their healing! And it's not playable! 😇

White text on a black background reads: "Clearly, neither one of you has read the tale of Lady Yocun and her seven sword maidens," said Braska, shaking his head. "I'm from Zanarkand," Jecht replied, "and Auron can't read." Auron dug a sharp elbow into Jecht's ribs, and kept walking.

Day 15 - A confession
Gilnoruil confesses that he thinks he has feelings for Astarion.
White text on a black background reads: "Hey, it's not my fault you hit your head." Jecht turned away from Braska. "Don't worry, Auron. He's had a bit of a bump but he should be fine. We should get him an ice pack and some rest, just to make sure it's not a concussion." "I'm fine," said Braska. "I drank one of our potions, didn't I?" Braska tried to climb to his feet and wobbled. Jecht grabbed one of his shoulders and pushed him gently back towards the ground. "Ah-ah."

Day 9: Blood/Injury/Sickness
In fairness to Jecht, he probably knows a lot about concussions...
White text on a black background reads: "Bring me the altarpiece if you would," said Mika, putting his food to one side. The charade of chewing and swallowing could wait. First, Mika had to know exactly where and when he was. The butler bowed, and walked to a small table off to one side of Mika's bed. Mika took a number of slow, steadying breaths as the man folded up the altarpiece and wrapped it reverentially in a square of ochre silk. He then returned to Mika's side, bowed, and presented the bundle to Mika on two upturned hands.
