The Sub Scribe 🔞

Day two's prompt is to make a collage to represent a place. Aranel's whole deal with that she doesn't have a place she feels at home in anymore. She loved the grove, but it burned down when she was so young she can barely remember it. She wants to forget the cold stone of the monastery.

It’s over. I’ve finally been named Master. I bribed the guards to seal the doors during my audience with the council, and told them their choices were to elevate me or to kill me. When none of them could touch me, they finally agreed I had passed my trial. I walked out and will never return. The monastery is in my past, now, and I am leaving my child name behind with it. I’ve named myself Aranel, after my mother. I don’t know where I’ll go now. Maybe to the Cloakwood, to see if I can find any remnants of my old Circle. And if not…I don’t know. I’ll decide once it has come to that.

I'm following @ginnydi.com's 7-Day Character Challenge for Aranel! Today's prompt is to write a diary entry from the perspective of your character. I chose the day Aranel finally completed her Trial of Mastery and left the monastery as a full monk

Halsin exhaled another stream of smoke and his smile faded into seriousness. His eyes met hers in an intense gaze. “How many times have you died?” “I told you I—” “You lied.” Halsin’s voice was flat, more matter-of-fact than accusatory. She opened her mouth to protest and he waved a hand to stop her. “Karlach and Astarion may not be insightful enough to see when you are trying to deceive them, but I am.” Aranel sighed softly. “That’s truly what you want to know about me?” Halsin’s lips quirked up in a smile that held little humor. “There are…a great deal of questions I have about you. This is one of the least intrusive. But if you wish, I could pick another…” Aranel leaned her head back against the tree to look at the stone above. They were both quiet for a long time. She found his presence comforting in a way she couldn’t quite put into words, and appreciated that he didn’t seem to feel the need to fill every silence the way their companions did. “Two thousand, four hundred, seventy three.”

Working on my longfic and needed to skip forward and write this scene. Previously, Aranel admitted revivification was common at her monastery and novice monks were expected to kill each other. She claimed she couldn't remember how many times she's died. That night, Halsin presses her

Aranel and Halsin prepare Reithwin for Highharvestide. The adults spend close to a full tenday cooking and decorating, and Halsin leads the children in building a cart out of wood to be broken and buried as a sacrifice to Silvanus.

Aranel is The Hermit. She is wise and very independent, but a century of loneliness has left her feeling isolated and distant from others, and she struggles to let her guard down enough for others to get close. She's uncertain where she belongs and feels resigned to being alone

#TavQotD

New fic up, and probably the last in this series! I've been exploring a slowly ramping up D/s relationship between Halsin and Tav, culminating here in CNC

Characters not in your party just level up to whatever your level is when you swap them in

If you have him in the party you go into dialogue when you try to go back to act 1 and he says something like, "I won't leave until the curse is broken." You can tell him to wait in camp

No, he just stays in act 2 if you go back to act 1. He's still in camp when you return

Third attempt died to a Dark Urge event I didn't really understand? I made it to Act 2, then woke up with a party member dead and all the others aggroed. Died in one Lae'zel turn when she hit me twice, action surged, and hit me twice more. I think next attempt will not be Durge...

Aranel would absolutely try shibari, but only Halsin is allowed to tie her up. She'd prefer vines but if it must be ropes they should be red to reflect her past as an Ilmatari

#TavQotD

If Halsin has said no and this admirer still won't let up, Aranel will absolutely fight them, and she won't hold back. She'd probably have to be stopped from killing them. No means no even when it's coming from a pan, poly, and insatiably horny man

An incredibly fat raccoon with the caption "Gimmie da gorbage"

(Kidding, incubate your work as you see fit. But also...)

"Halsin, what the hells are you doing? We've never been exclusive?!"

#TavQotD

Aranel is 5 feet even -- definitely on the small side for a wood elf, but not abnormally so. She's slightly more muscular than BT1, in the toned way of a martial artist. I don't know how tall Halsin is canonically, but it's quite a size difference

#TavQOTD

I'm The SubScribe! I write explicit fan fiction. I do all sorts, but the most common is M!D/F!s, ranging from the minor (dirty talk, hair pulling) to the major (bondage, choking) to the extreme (CNC/r@pe play, pain play, NC).

Find me on AO3!

Halsin was Aranel's first! I actually wrote a fic of it for Halsin Week 2025. She later embraced her own pansexuality and wood elf polyamory, but nobody could ever quite live up to Halsin 😈

#TavQotD #BG3NSFW

There's an audience for everything, tbh. If you've written something and you like it, throw it up on AO3 and I'm sure somebody will love it

👀 Are these drafts posted anywhere?

So happy to be part of this collab raising money for good causes!

Just a couple more days to sign up to the fic collab project starring our beloved #Halsin - we may put out a call for space filling once initial pitches have been picked too 💙 so do keep an eye on @bg3collabs.bsky.social for those posts~

Any Magic enjoyers? Playing around with a Halsin commander deck idea. Basically green elf tribal, but then Tree Daddy turns all the elves into bears
