MINORS DNI

stripped (down to the bone) (kar’niss x gender neutral!reader, baldur’s gate 3)

The shadows are hungry. They wait, tongues lashing, beyond the circle of light illuminated by the moonlantern. They wait, and they watch.

Let them watch, you think with bated breath, the scrape of stone along your back sending a shiver through you. The outcropping of rock feels like a port in the middle of a storm, the rest of your surroundings shrouded in darkness, but you’re not afraid. 

You’re free here, untethered, unburdened. The eyes of the ravenous shadows may rake upon your back, their mouths parted wide to swallow you whole, but you’re safe within the moonlantern’s glow.

You’re safe with Kar’niss.

Waiting for Godfrey

It’s not much, but it’s rotten work

Remember to arm your Leggingnaires Twinkarii of the Adeptussy Femboinicus so that they don’t get turned into boipaste upon first contact with the enemy :3333

I feel like I’m about to ruin it with the color, fellas?? Pray for me T.T

3 components of worldbuilding:

1. The author’s kinks

2. The author’s power fantasy

3. The author’s political agenda

Plot and logic optional

I must say the author of the codex fluff story has managed the impossible: they managed not only the first canon appearance of a female custodes, but she also is a fan-favourite now.

The way the 40k setting glues skulls and purity seals to everything constantly reminds me of Decora Kei fashion, so fuck it, Decora Kei Space Marine. You're welcome.
