✨Double Penetration✨
“Karlach and I have been talking and we want to offer you, well, us, as a distraction, from the curse. To make you forget everything but our names!"
Tav bit their lip as they contemplated Gale’s words…

Photo of a black and white pencil sketch (art) with a mechanical pencil laying on top of the off-white paper of a threesome between Karlach, Gale and my Tav. Over the lovers’ legs is the word “wip” in low opacity written in a light red

Gale kisses Tav while holding their face in his hands who sits on Karlach's lap whose hand goes in-between Gale's and Tav's bodies as well as her tail.
Tav holds on to Gale's waist. Movement lines suggest double penetration by Gale and Karlach's tail.
Karlach lets her chin rest on Tav's shoulder with a happy little laugh. She has her vents and scars on her arm but not yet her tattoos.
Tav is a plus size human with medium length curly ginger hair with victory rolls (vanilla in-game hair ramhorn cascade). They have back rolls and a plush tummy. Gale is shown as chubby/plus size as well, with thick thighs, back rolls and a supple tummy. He has the orb mark on his chest and a good amount of hair on his body. Tav has hair on their legs as well, tho lighter.

Black text on white ground with two black framing pillars

Gale crawled over Tav between Karlach's legs and cupped their face in his hand, just admiring them for a moment. How Tav looked up at him, skin hot and flushed, eyes half-hooded, burning with untamed lust, lips parted, softly panting as they rocked against Karlach's body and hand...
"More?" he asked, and Tav nodded with half a grin, half a moan, tilting their head up to pull his lips between theirs, the kiss hungry, deep and urgent. Both groaning into each other's mouths, a deep, relieved guttural sound, as Gale finally slipped down to the hilt inside Tav and began to thrust, controlled and calculated.
Gale...
What a sight he was!
How he he held onto the headboard in front of him, knuckles straining white, hair falling into his face with each thrust, eyes glazed over with lust, refusing to let them close, refusing to lose sight of Tav. How his free hand rested either on Tav's cheek or gripped their shoulder tightly for leverage, making them arch into him, pulling him in for a kiss or two or three or four.
Making his delicious, strained sounds of pleasure theirs as Tav wanted everything their lovers gave by trying to meet both of their movements simultaneously,
To meet Gale's long, nearly torturously lavishing thrusts and the continuously well-calculated twists of Karlach's tail inside them accompanied by her fingers' teasing dance over Tav's breasts, nipples and clit.
All while she held Tav's legs wide open with her own hooked around Tav's, rubbing herself against them, hot and slick.
Tav was not a bard, certainly not, but how they let Karlach and Gale hear how good they made them feel was a symphony of unparalleled beauty, a never-ending stream of strangled, strained gasps between high-pitched moans.

BG3VP of Gale, Tav and Karlach.

Gale and Karlach hold Tav, who leans back with closed eyes into their lovers’ touches.

Gale comes in from the right side, kissing their neck, wearing a blue dyed ice bite robe. Karlach holds Tav, looking down to their shoulder. She wears the adamantine scale mail dyed in watery shades of blue.

Tav is a white human with medium length curly ginger hair with light blue highlights styled into victory rolls. They wear the Sharpened Snare Cuirass

#bg3zine #bg3 #bg3queer #cotgzine

A circular navy and yellow art nouveau style graphic, with a frame in the colors of the aromantic flag. There is a preview of a fic that reads: The terrible thing about old habits was how hard they were to break. It was too easy and comfortable to fall into the act of seduction, but the honest and earnest friendship of a man who valued Astarion simply as he was, without need or expectation, without looking at him like a piece of meat ripe for the grill...

"Boo says your face suits that smile better," Minsc found his hand beneath the table, lacing their fingers together.

“We meant what we said; we want you to forget the curse entirely, beginning with not having to see it any longer. And you know how by shutting one sense out the others are heightened…” 📝 Fire, Stars and Sky for @coloursofthegate.bsky.social
#fireconstellationweave #bg3kinktober

Black text on white ground with a black frame

"Do you trust us?" Gale asked.
"Yes!" Tav's answer was immediate which earned them a satisfied chuckle from both of their lovers.
"Excellent!" Gale hummed in appreciation as he carefully tied the smooth, cool scarf over Tav's eyes and head where it quickly warmed up.
"How many fingers am I holding up?" Karlach's cheery voice was close.
Tav shrugged. "I don't know... Three?"
"Wrong," Karlach said lowly, voice coming even closer. "None."
Tav felt her hot hands firmly take hold of their face, tilting it upwards to kiss them, savouring, lazy and deep. Tav kissed her back, drinking the warmth from her lips, inhaling her fire, her life. When they had to part for air, Gale was already there with a much less idle kiss than Karlach's.
His kiss was greedy, hungry and filled with a revering devotion that made Tav's head spin in the best way possible as they kissed him back, equally greedy, hungry and revering.
"That was only a taste. Do you want more?" he asked once he caught his breath after letting go of Tav.
"Oh yes!"
And Tav didn't have to see his eyes to know what they looked like. Confident and sincere, shining with contentment laced with a smugness that had no business being as irresistibly sexy as it was.
Karlach groaned.
"Can we then get you out of this armour now? This covers way too much of you for my liking..."
"Please!" Tav agreed, uncomfortably aware of every layer of fabric, fur and leather on their body that definitely shouldn't be here right now.
Tav heard Karlach hum at their eagerness, a happy little humming chuckle, pecking the tip of their nose before she flattened her hands against their thigh, sliding it upwards with relish until she found the first set of laces to open.
And four hands - two cool, slender and smelling of wood smoke, herbs and books, and two hot, big, calloused and faintly smelling of machine oil and summer nights under a starry sky, air alive with laughter and the scent of night blooming

Around them, their friends danced and laughed, highlighted by the flickering lights pulsing to the music. The background of the club blurred as Elophiel held tight to Lae'zel, absolutely immersed in their movement.

stand down, Lae'zel widened
her stance, planted her feet firmly
on the ground, and curled her hands into
loose fists. Blood from where Faen cut her
arm began to flow, dripping to the ground.

Faen licked her lips, eyes tracking the
droplets as they fell.

Lae’zel deftly leapt at the rogue,
catching her off guard with
the speed.

my part in the NSFW add-on @coloursofthegate.bsky.social 🥳
AKA a druid suffers greatly under the shadow-curse and their lovers are ✨selflessly✨ (kinda ^^) offering themselves as a distraction — Wizard-Druid-Tiefling sandwich ensues…😌
#bg3fic #fireconstellationweave

White text in grey-ish blue ground in a yellow and turquoise frame in an art nouveau style with a fanned out rainbow on top.

Over the text is golden font saying “PRE-ORDER SEPT 12-9CT 10”
And underneath “Colours of the Gate”

The text: And four hands - two cool, slender and smelling of wood smoke, herbs and books, and two hot, big, calloused and faintly smelling of machine oil and summer nights under a starry sky, air alive with laughter and the scent of night blooming jasmine — began at once to untie and remove Tav's armour, piece by piece. And two mouths occasionally stole kisses and sucked on skin that the hands had revealed.
Hands that took their sweet time to to caress warm, supple flesh and follow the swell of breasts and the enticing curve of a waist and hips that finally laid bare.
Tav arched into their lovers' touches, groaning lowly and trying to swallow down their whimpers as Gale began to kiss and suck all over their belly and hips.
Their legs were held securely open by Karlach, who has gotten settled behind Tav as they squirmed and writhed under Gale's agile fingers and clever tongue.
