Learn Me Right

Jaheira x Khalid

This is a fic excerpt (~600 words). Someday, I’ll publish the rest. Because there is more — believe me, there is more.

Between the two of them, Khalid is the first to cry in front of the other.

They're tears of sheer frustration. They’d barely had time to sleep the night before, the day has been hell, and all he wants is a moment's quiet but the patrons of the pub below their room clearly have other plans. On a good day it would set his teeth on edge, never mind now. Jaheira is trying to cheer him up with that flirtatious banter she's so good at, something he loves, and this is the fourth time he's gotten completely trapped in the middle of a sentence. For fuck's sake, he's trying to compliment her (it's a favourite trick of his, disarming her with sudden earnestness) and somehow he can't coordinate his own mouth to say it.

He can’t find a way to tell her how beautiful it is when he can make her really laugh, that he wants to do it again and again for the rest of their lives, that when she smiles at him her eyes glow golden and warm and he feels it from shoulders to hips. He can't meet her eyes and his face is screwed up with effort, fists suddenly clenching as his head jerks uncomfortably to the side, and for a moment he's frozen there — and then he's crying.

The whole thing is mortifying. Khalid desperately swipes away the tears, turns away from her in his effort to hide it all. What must she think of him? Unable to keep it together even now, in this quiet moment between them.

Jaheira doesn't allow it.

She approaches slowly, sits in front of him on the bed. This is bad enough on its own, but then — then she’s holding his hands, moving them away from his face and clutching them firmly in her own. Khalid feels suddenly wild with panic. He can’t, he can’t, he —

“I-I-I —”

"No need to be ashamed," she says firmly, thumbs brushing over the backs of his hands. "It's just the two of us."

After a moment, she brings his hands up to rest above her breasts, and then both of hers move up to his face. Jaheira holds his head in her hands and kisses away the tears under each of his eyes, before her forehead presses against his. As her chest rises and falls with her breathing, he manages to copy her.

"Good," she says, a softness in her tone that's uncommon, that he's always treasured when she opens it to him. "That's it."

Her thumbs trace rhythmic circles over his cheeks like she’s trying to soothe and memorize him all at once. Slowly, the sharp noises from downstairs that had grated on him fade into undifferentiated murmurs, and there is nothing but her; the way she smells of the forest even after days spent in the city, the steel of her spine, the unshakeable calm in the eye of her storm and the way she can somehow bring him into it with her. He has no idea how he got so lucky, that he has the privilege to spend so much time at the center of her focus.

Jaheira is looking at him with that rare, precious gentleness that tells him she’s dropped her guard. That he’s seeing her all the way through, the way she always seems to see him, and all he wants in the world is to learn every path to get here with her. All he wants is her.

"I love you," Khalid whispers, and Jaheira’s eyes are suddenly wide and bright in a way he’s never seen before. For a tiny moment, they flutter closed, and he could swear her breath trembles.

She coughs. "Well, I --." Swallows. "I love you, too."

He suspected she felt it, but he had expected a smart remark, for her to hide behind a quip again. His heart swells.

Before Khalid can say anything else, she kisses him, one hand fisting into his hair, and he knows they'll both sleep soundly tonight.

HAPPY JAHEIRA X KHALID BRAIN ROT ANNIVERSARY TO MEEEEE 🎉🎉🎉

(Kinda)

One year ago was not the start of the brain rot but it was the date I could find for when I started making fanart disclaimer I didn’t finish most of them lol

In honor of this special occasion let’s look back on some of it!

These are the dated ones:

It is the only finished one that I will be showing here lmaooo wow Khalid has changed over the year. For context this was before I saw githyankidanky’s design and was like “that’s him, that’s the guy”

I was doing an expression challenge at the time which I also never finished but THIS WAS THE BEGINNING

These two never got out of the gesture and the structure lol.

The text on the left one reads: “excuse me, he asked for no pickles”

The one on the right was going to be the picture Jaheira has of them down in her basement in Bg3 that Khalid got from the wizard since she banned him from poetry. I don’t know why I cropped it at the thigh?? I feel like it should be down to the waist at most but whatever past wren.

The unfortunate thing is that most of these relics are now lost as I doodled them on the sides of my notes, I did find one though! And it was this:

True artistry right there tbh

So happy anniversary to me and many more!

the reason none of us can ever leave tumblr is because we've already evolved to having this be our only suitable habitat. we're the devils hole pupfish of people.

one of my favourite things to do in bg3 is opening the battle at moonrise towers with jaheira casting ice storm on all of them like the badass she is.

Note to try this the next time I’m in grymforge! 👀👀

It was a gift from my husband. Khalid. He was a Harper. A better one than me, truth be told - any idiot can swing a sword. But to believe in the cause, with the whole of your heart? A much trickier thing. He died. Alone, in pain, and far too young - murdered by a mage who craved immortality. I'll not grant it by naming him in the same breath as my husband.

i can't get over this random dude writing self-insert friend fiction about the ketheric battle

ALSO BALSIN

bg1 doodles from my lunch break, the girls and Khalid

Thinking about an au where Khalid survives but Jaheira doesn't... Khalid clinging onto life during the torture, solely so he can see Jaheira if he survives... only to find out when they're escaping that she was killed....

Some Jaheiras for your troubles.

Did my design for an AU and in a sexy little party dress. Harpers gotta have a good time too :P

reblog to thank ur mutuals for providing enrichment to ur enclosure

Jaheira: I’d like you to take the time to learn the Baldur’s Gate mantra. Jaheira is always right. I will listen to Jaheira. I will not ignore Jaheira’s recommendations. Jaheira is a God. And if this ever happens again, Jaheira will personally rip your lungs out.

Living up to “the druid” part of my name by spending all day in the forest

I did in fact touch some grass but it didn’t fix me :(

I just found out that dynaheir and bastila share the same voice actor which makes sense because they’re both BioWare but I’m shocked- my old hyperfixation of KOTOR once again coming back

Keep reading

he's judging you

Jaheira and Khalid. I finally finished this piece of them. I really like the way it came out and enjoyed some things I tried out in this.

Based anniversary 💪

Next month is my k/j anniversary 😌

Rare look into the sketchbook 🫣

NOOOOOO 💔💔💔

tumblr hates khalid/jaheira 😟
