Another one for #OCTakeoverWeek2026 Day 6, "Another's OC!" I got to use a new-to-me clothes mod for @saidrawsstuff.bsky.social's ranger Cricket, and I think Halsin's into this look ;)

One of the prompts for #OCTakeoverWeek2026 Day 6 is "Another's OC" -- and coincidentally, I've spent a chunk of this week borrowing my friends' BG3 OCs to play with PS5 pose mods! Here is @qoboe.bsky.social's Durge Elerra wearing her favorite orange and dancing in the Underdark with her Astarion.

Astarion has an arm around her shoulders and they are leaning their faces towards one another; the vibe is soft and intimate.

#tavqotd #nlansOCs Wyll and Nuri go to Avernus with Karlach; they are joined later by Nuri's bestie Rowan, who helps them successfully steal from Zariel's forge and fix Karlach's heart. Nuri and Wyll travel side by side as heroes of the Sword Coast and eventually have three kids. (1/2)

QRP with your pinup art #tavqotd #nlansOCs

I feel a bit sheepish posting these screenshots for an "art" prompt, but I was going for a pinup vibe so what the hell, here we go.

For #WIPWednesday, I am finally dipping my toe into a Wyllstarion Regency AU I've had rattling around in my brain for ages. It's early days and we'll see if this ever makes it onto AO3 but it is fun to imagine Wyll in a Regency cravat. #bg3
Image text reads: (in italics) The fires of Avernus burned searing light into Wyll’s eyes. He was used to that by now, of course. There was nowhere in Avernus where one could go to avoid heat or flame or the burning scent of ash in your nose. But Wyll did not think it was merely his imagination that the fires burned hotter here in Zariel’s forge, as he and his friends fought for their lives. At his right, Karlach’s axe rose and fell as she bellowed her battle cries. On his left, Gale cast spell after spell, some designed to damage their foes, others to protect their small team. And in the middle, Wyll’s blade danced and eldritch blasts flew from his palm and he hoped that somehow, the gods would be kind today and they would escape with… (italics end) “Wyll? Are you listening?” Image text reads: Wyll startled and drew a sharp breath—one blessedly free from ash and hellfire. He was, of course, not in Zariel’s forge any longer. He was sitting in the Ravengard dining room, with a full dinner spread in front of him and a glass of wine in his hand. The only flames in the room, the ones he had been staring into, came from the merrily crackling fire at the other side of the table. “My apologies, Councillor Florrick,” Wyll said, for he knew his reaction had been too obvious to deny. “I fear my mind was back in Avernus for a moment.” “Understandable, given what we just asked of you,” the Councillor said easily, waving away Wyll’s lapse in manners. “I know it must be tedious, recounting your stories for these audiences at every function. But the ton have hung on your every word since your return, young Wyll. We need that sort of attention if we are to achieve our goal.” Image text reads: At the other end of the table, Wyll’s father, Duke Ulder Ravengard, nodded and sipped his wine. “The Blade of Frontiers does the Ravengard name credit. I would not ask you to make a spectacle of yourself under ordinary circumstances, my son.” A shadow crossed his face. “But Lord Gortash has made far too much progress in convincing the city’s leaders to invest in his Steel Watch. We must remind them that Baldur’s Gate has heroes ready to defend it.” Wyll flexed his hand half unconsciously. He knew that, no matter how he tried, he would no longer be able to summon the eldritch blasts and dark gateways of his days as Mizora’s warlock. He did not regret that loss; he had braved Hell itself (or one of the Hells, at any rate) to be free of his patron. But as a fighter, he felt a shadow of his former self. A hero. He could not say he felt like one. But if his time as the Blade of Frontiers could be of use, he would use it.

🎶Today was a fairytale 🎶

The amazing @nyxpixarts.bsky.social, who has drawn some of my all-time favorite Wyll art, drew Wyll and Nuri together looking into each other's eyes (their favorite hobby). I am so in love with this piece!! 😭

I am delighted to share this preview of a Mercedue fic for @bluelionsbb.bsky.social, with art by the amazing @tamaryllis.bsky.social ! This idea had been bubbling in my head for ages and I couldn't have asked for a better reason to bring it into reality -- or a more awesome artist to work with!
A preview graphic for the Blue Lions Big Bang. On the right is a narrowly cropped preview of an image of Dedue and Mercedes holding hands. On the left is a fic preview. Image text reads: for duty... and for love A Mercedes/Dedue arranged marriage fic 12K | rated E (NSFW) Mercedes was quiet for the space of several breaths. “Dedue… are you sure? This is so much to ask of you.” “It is no less to ask of you.” He looked down at their joined hands. “But for my part… yes. I am willing. More than willing.” He wondered if he should confess then. But before he could find the words, Mercedes spoke. “I’m willing too. It’s… settled, then?” she said hesitantly, tightening her hands around his. “It is settled.” Dedue drew in a deep breath, trying to ignore the way his heart had begun to race. “I suggest we open the door and accept our friends’ congratulations on our engagement.” fic by nlans, @nlanswrites.bsky.social art by nacky, @tamaryllis.bsky.social

Lia would go for a Colombina (half) mask with lots of feminine details -- feathers, flowers, jewels. More is more according to Lia. #TavQOTD #nlansOCs

I really love Lia's story arc. At her core, she's an ordinary person who got caught up in events much bigger than she is, and she never would have volunteered for this. But she finds her courage, improves her skills, and helps save the world. #nlansOCs #TavQOTD

A hornless tiefling with long purple hair, grey-blue skin, and freckles looks up into the distance with a peaceful expression on her face. She is wearing a teal v-neck shirt underneath a corset; we see a spell book fastened at her waist. Watermarkered with the VP’s handle: “Obsessed? Why, Yes”

I was not able to get it together to write new AU drabbles or fic for #bg3AUWeek26, but I am loving seeing everyone's AUs!

For Day 1, Wild West, I did manage to get Lia in this super cute cowgirl outfit 🤠 #nlansOCs

I finally updated Unspoken! House Dellamorte discusses what comes next... and begins to face its past. Meanwhile, Assan gets ear skritches.

Chapter 16 of 18 is up now! Get it before the AO3 outage on Wednesday!

A screenshot from Archive of our Own. Fic title: Unspoken Rating: M Tags: Lucanis Dellamorte/Rook, Mutual Pining, Canon with a twist, Idiots in Love, Background Zevran/Female Tabris, Unpacking the Crows' whole deal, Caterina critical, Look if Bioware did not write me any Zevran callbacks I will write them myself, Wingman Spite (Dragon Age), Other Additional Tags to Be Added, references to past abuse, Lucanis and Illario's childhood was not a happy one Summary: Six years ago, Lucanis and Enlee spent a night together in Treviso. Neither one of them expected this sort of reunion. With gods to fight, family to avenge, and a demon to contend with, it seems best for their past to stay a pleasant memory. They can ignore the spark between them if it means saving the world and protecting each other. But leaving things unsaid might be more dangerous than facing the truth.

Brin saw this dress and immediately wanted one for Karlach too. #nlansOCs

Nuri didn't know how to dance before Wyll taught her! She's a fast learner, though (20 Dex ftw). She wouldn't have said it was important to her before meeting Wyll but now it's one of her favorite things to do. #TavQOTD #nlansOCs

Alys's family is a wealthy manufacturer of magical artifacts; her mother, Cerise, is one of their arcane guild's most important leaders. Alys and her mother have a good relationship but Alys feels an enormous amount of pressure to live up to the Towerfell family legacy. #TavQOTD #nlansOCs

Nuri (right) offers because she's a sweetheart and doesn't want Astarion to be hungry. But Rowan (left) tells him to leave the kid alone or she'll smite him. Rowan offers her own neck if he's in need. Astarion is smart enough not to take advantage too often. #TavQOTD #nlansOCs

"The Blade of Frontiers! To what do I owe the pleasure?"

My "angsty post-canon Wyllstarion featuring Ascended Astarion" idea was tricker than I'd realized (Wyll's horns don't play nice with pose mods), but I still love the concept!

Lia takes any and all jobs she can get! Playing a princess at a rich kid's birthday party? Done. Playing her lute in a tavern for two gold and a meal? She's there. She's good at matching her audience's energy but prefers the artsier jobs. #TavQOTD #nlansOCs
