A green, art-nouveau style graphic with flower accents in the colors of the nonbinary pride flag that reads: Colours of the Gate Vol. 2. DarkZaira20. She/they. Iao3/bsky: darkzaira20. It features a snippet of a fic: His attention is drawn toward a car pulling into the lot, and he frowns when it parks and Dekarios steps out of it. Shit. No time to hide my bag. That thought is quickly decimated by the worry that floods him, a flash of gray streaking ahead as Kevin greets his boss by rubbing against his ankles like a traitor. Astarion makes haste, approaching just as Dekarios acknowledges the cat. โ€œWhy, good morning to you, too, little stranger.โ€ โ€œSorry about him,โ€ Astarion exclaims, watching as olive-toned fingers are presented to his cat to sniff. He fights back the urge to snatch Kevin away from Dekariosโ€™ grubby little hands, to hiss at the man as if he himself were a cat.

A green, art-nouveau style graphic with flower accents in the colors of the trans and nonbinary pride flags that reads: Colours of the Gate Vol. 2. Winterlyre. ae/aer. ao3/tumblr: winterlyre. Snippet from If They Truly Loved Her. โ€œCan you keep a secret?โ€ Shadowheart asks as she leans back, flat on her feet.
โ€œAlways.โ€
Commotion reaches up from the training grounds that are just out of view, the noise rising past separate wings of the castle. Shadowheart releases her, moving unsteadily enough that Nocturne might fear she would fall if she didn't know better. She backs herself up against the far railing, fidgeting with her gloves.
And then she glows as glorious as the sun, golden threads of light spreading out from her in a radial pattern. Nocturne is blinded, but she doesn't look away, watching as the gold molds into silver, taking shape before her eyes. Shadowheart is a flower abloom, as though petals sprout from her back.

A green, art-nouveau style graphic with purple, yellow, and rainbow accents that reads: Colours of the Gate Vol. 2. Lilhumanoid. they/any. I'm a writer, editor, and mod author currently exploring the world of Baldur's Gate 3. I primarily write about Astarion, his vampire spawn "siblings," and my blood mage OC, Jamie. But I have a special place in my heart for all of the morally grey companions (like my beloved Minthara!). Tumblr/AO3: lilhumanoid, nexus: lilhumanoid13. Writer.

A green, art-nouveau style graphic with purple, yellow, and rainbow accents that reads: Colours of the Gate Vol. 2. TurqoiseTiger. She/her. Hiya!! I'm Hannah, an indigenous artist with a love for fantasy, warm colors, and sunflowers. Playing BG3 back in 2023 introduced myself to DnD more properly, solidified my love for the game's fantasy settings and its characters (my favorites being Halsin and Astarion), as well as helping explore my own sexuality. I'm so excited to be participating in a zine for the first time in several years again with fellow queer artists for some incredible charities! โ™ฅ๏ธŽ vgen/bsky: turqoisetiger. Artist.
