Summary
A mistaken identity and a spark neither meant to start ends in a first date that left Raphael yearning for the punkish stranger he had just met, whether he wanted to or not.
Or,
Raphael and Haarlep were blessed with a meet-cute situation for their first meeting.
Or,
Example passage:
“So,” Haarlep hummed, attempting small talk before Raphael could be the one to start it. “Question: what is your favorite dessert?”
Raphael sipped his tea. “I don’t have one.”
“You don’t have one?” Haarlep gasped dramatically, hand flying to his chest. “Who hurt you?”

Raphlep - very soft and wholesome - part of Red As a Cherry AU? https://archiveofourown.org/collections/Reddsraphlepfics
My favourite short story - always a good one to read especially if sad <3

Summary
A prequel to the events of Baldur's Gate 3, exploring the relationship between Raphael and Haarlep from the moment they first meet and following through several key events in their long and storied history together as both seek their own goals and find how they connect between them.
There will be a lot of smut in the works, as well as a fair amount of angst and character exploration. It will be written as a series like this with separate works rather than a multi-chapter work, to enable clearer tagging of each individual chapter as the content will vary and I would rather allow people a choice to skip parts of the story if there are tags they dislike, or to easily bookmark and return to tags that they adore~
There is no set schedule due to life factors and multiple ongoing series that I switch between, but comments and interactions do help to inspire work on it.

Summary
Professor Raphael was forced to keep a straight face while Haarlep gave him the sloppiest sloppy toppy that you have ever seen from under the desk. That's it. That's the plot.
(32 pages + 1 animated page for the epilogue + 1…. something.)
