Summary
Never, not in Waterdeep and not here in Baldur’s Gate, had Gale been in possession of many friends. Or any friends, if he was honest. Friendly acquaintances, of course, the ones that Mystra would allow him, and then the coworkers at the grocery store he’d worked at before the library. But he’d never been able to say he had someone eager to spend time together with him, for no purpose but his company.
If everyone knows they’re dating, if they both know they’re dating, then why should Astarion ever have to say that they’re dating?
Or, in which Gale’s pining is no where near as hopeless as his ability to read social cues or Astarion’s ability to communicate.

Grimoire of the Grove: A Baldur's Gate Romantasy by riancstone

Summary
This retelling of Baldur’s Gate 3 keeps the same faces and places you know, while lingering on the moments I wanted more of: relationships that are messy, deeper interactions with the people of Faerûn, and more grounded, realistic reactions to the events of the game. The story weaves in expanded D&D lore and incorporates images captured in photo mode. Romance is present, but so is genuine love between friends and found family, building upon the foundation created by Larian.
This fic began as an emotional outlet for me. I began writing it in 2025, when my 9-5 science career was in turmoil, and I needed an escape. Fiodhan is a faithful expression of who I am as a person, and naturally, as a nerd, I fell head over heels for Gale. What follows is my manifestation of life and love in BG3.
Fiodhan, a druid living in Baldur’s Gate, is summoned to investigate an oil spill in the harbor and instead finds himself at the center of an alien invasion. Follow him through the events of the game as he forms lasting bonds with an unlikely group of companions. Sit with them by the campfire. Enjoy the quiet moments, the shitty days, the laughs, and all the love while you watch them try to save Faerûn, and themselves.

If one of them was going to be a handful when de-aged, it would be the Gith raised from birth to kill who hasn’t learned Common yet.

Summary
Elisedd (Tav) has a tough relationship with the arcane arts. Gale is determined to connect with magic, a central part of himself. Not to mention each one of them has their own angsts.
Really this is just a self-indulgent work that is helping me work through shit in my own life. I'm delighted if you enjoy it though!
