Day 6 of #HalsinWeek2025 and today it's all about Lavender.

Here's some short, sweet fluffy smut.

There are also some real science facts, so let's learn together my doves.

A title and description of an AO3 fic:

Summer Mead by LulaMillay
Summary:
As he sets out on his first adventure, Halsin learns how nature can find a sweet balance, even in civilization.

Or, young Halsin has a lovely quickie with a halfling in a lavender field.

A NSFW excerpt from an AO3 Fic:
Once freed, the halfling's breasts were everything he'd imagined. Pale and expansive, their soft weight shifted as she leaned back in the tilled soil, breathless from their impulsive sprint from the tavern to the lavender field. The rows of flowers were fragrant in full bloom, just tall enough to hide two young lovers as he kneeled before her. Her family’s bees hummed softly above, paying them no mind.

His hand worked quickly inside her skirts while the other gently palmed one of those soft breasts, pulling a stiffening bud between his fingers as he buried his face in the warmth of it. Layered with the salt on her skin and the heat of her arousal she carried the sweet tang of the honey mead she had served him a scant half hour ago. It seemed infused into all of her.

Her back arched as he found his prize, dipping inside to gently explore and scissor slick fingers. When he was confident she could take his girth if she wished, he leaned back to sample her arousal as it dripped down his hand. Honey mead, again, decadent and sweet.

The title, description, and notes for an AO3 fanfic:

By My Oath by LulaMillay
Summary:
A newly-sworn paladin of Lolth brings vengeance to a house that scorned the spider queen. But when a beast chained in a bedchamber becomes her only option to succeed, she has to bargain with a prisoner who fears neither violence nor death.

Notes:
Please mind the tags on this one - nothing graphic but a lot of implied / offscreen violence in this. Drow's gonna Drow.

An excerpt from an Ao3 fanfic:

Minthara recoiled. The matron had not captured some clever servant of her goddess; this was some shapeshifting darthiir. She had only heard of such aberrations, callow faerie who changed form at will and worshiped the strange green trees. She walked toward the matron’s pet calmly as it threw itself against wards that restrained it, jaws clipping inches from her throat. When she refused to show fear, the beast sat back, vibrating with fury. Subvocalizing punctuated a series of growls as it tried to communicate with her, but she had never lowered herself to learn the speech of common beasts.

“Iblith, do you understand me?”

The beast gave a low growl, then a quick, intelligent nod.

Title and summary for an AO3 fanfic
The Living Three by LulaMillay
Summary:
After their first hectic day in the city, Durge needs a break. Halsin invites them to the woods to unwind and gets more than he bargained for.

Smut with some fluff / humor and a dash of Durge angst.

The dragonborn nodded, “I didn’t expect him to put this thing in me.” Durge put their head in their hands, “When I killed that bard he gave me a cool cape, and next it’s this? I don’t even know what I’m supposed to do with the Slayer. I was hoping to get a sweet hat or something.”

“You killed Isobel for the chance at a ‘sweet hat’?”

Durge shrugged, “It was a cool cape.” They sighed and hugged their knees. “I’m sorry for springing all of this on you. My mind is already full of holes, and now my body can do that. It takes so much effort to keep myself in line.”

With a kiss and a gentle hand, Halsin took hold of Durge’s sex. One finger made an exploratory swipe into their slit.

He stilled as Durge's sex began to bloom under his touch. Two girthy cocks emerged, the same cobalt blue as dragonborn's forked tongue. Falling to either side, thick sapphire crowns glistened in the moonlight as they pushed free of each long shaft. The dragonborn took one in their hand, stroking it with a contented hum.

Glancing at the druid, they stilled when they saw his surprise. “You can use our words if you want."

As Halsin watched Durge's body transform, the surprise turned to wonder. "I don't need our words, but I may need some direction," he smiled with carnal heat.

Durge returned his smile and resumed stroking. "Not many dragonborn around the Emerald Grove?”

Day 3 of #HalsinWeek2025 is upon us and it's time for some smut, my loves.

Today we answer the eternal question: What if Francesca of the High Forest was a huge shit-kicking tiefling who made #Halsin feel safe and smol?

archiveofourown.org/works/65974483

#BG3nsfw #BG3Fanfiction #Ao3Writers

Title and summary for fanfic on AO3:
The Raven and Her Bear by LulaMillay

Summary:
As a young druid, Halsin returns to his home and rekindles his first love.

This is wall to wall smut.

A SFW snippet from an AO3 fanfic:

The sturdy tiefling was exactly as he remembered her, always. Earth-red skin, tawny hair braided down her back, horns etched with the vines of their order that twined down both their faces. He sighed in contentment, running his hands up her legs to feel the ridges of her thighs beneath her robes. She dipped her forehead to touch his.

“Francesca. My heart.”

“Halsin. You bloody stupid bastard .” She stood and Halsin’s world expanded past the aching heat of her to the crowded public plaza. “You said you'd be back in a season, maybe two. It's been five years. Five .”

She extended a hand to help him to his feet. The tiefling rested her chin on his head as she pulled him into a long embrace. She sighed, leaning down to murmur in his ear. “Let's go somewhere more private, little bear, so you can give me a proper apology.”

A NSFW snippet from an AO3 fanfic:

Francesca spread languid beneath him, drunk with bliss. He stood to watch her hitch and stretch around him, slick and pliant as he filled her with gentle thrusts.

He had shared the pleasures of his body with many beings in his hundred and fifty years but she had been his first. None took him better, and none sang sweeter than his darling friend. It had been this way since they were initiates and improved each time they returned with more to share.

He brushed a wisp of hair from her face, careful to avoid her overstimulated horns. She leaned her cheek into his touch, canting her hips to meet him again as she floated back from her release.

Day 2 of #HalsinWeek2025 my dears, and here's some Modern AU quack, I mean, crack.

A lonely ornithologist, an elusive waterfowl expert with gentle hands, here's "Courtship Rituals of the Oakwood Goldeneye"

archiveofourown.org/works/65945620

[ #bg3fanfic | #Halsin | #HalsinSilverbough ]

A ao3 title and summary:
Courtship Rituals of the Oakwood Goldeneye by LulaMillay

Summary:
A lonely ornithologist spends her nights applying for grants instead of engaging with her peers at the Emerald Grove Wetlands Animal Preserve.

But when the famed and elusive waterfowl expert Dr. Halsin Silverbough seeks her out, she learns the unconventional theories that stalled her career may not make her a quack after all.

part 1 of an excerpt from a fanfiction work:

""You know, Tav, I said I’ve just been watching your career, but I’ve actually been looking for an opportunity to talk to you ever since I read your doctoral thesis.”

Tav sat forward. “My thesis? It didn’t exactly make a splash. I’m surprised anyone read it, honestly.”

“I did. It was electrifying . You raised the possibility of some ducks possessing a higher intelligence.”

Tav’s eyes widened, “But that wasn’t in my thesis, at least not the one I published. My advisor convinced me to exclude that research because he didn’t want me to be viewed as, well, a quack.”"

Part 2 of an excerpt from a fanfiction work:

"“I was fortunate to read one of your early drafts. Tav, that's why I needed to meet you. I can confirm your theories.” His large hand suddenly grasped hers, sending a warm jolt to her core. “Some ducks are able to reason, strategize, even form lasting relationships with other species.”

“ Waterfowl sapience ? But that’s just theoretical.”

“It’s not, and sapience is just the beginning. Some ducks have unique abilities to guard their flock by whatever means necessary. I’ve seen it, Tav. I’ve experienced it.”

Tav’s pulse quickened at the implications, at the recognition, at the large, gentle man now running a thumb across the back of her hand. “That doesn’t sound like evolution, it sounds like magic .”

He leaned toward her, speaking low. “Sometimes they’re one and the same.”"

Summary for a Baldurs Gate 3 fanfic called "Nature, Magic, and Everything in Between" by Lula Millay:

"On the road from Moonrise to Baldur’s Gate, Tav’s relationship with Gale is almost perfect, but they’ve barely touched. Reading books in his conjured library and coupling like gods in the stars is lovely, but a ranger has needs and hers are getting out of hand.

When this catches the attention of the local druid, he offers his unique set of skills to help her find balance in her relationship and her own desires."
