Durge X Gortash - Tumblr Posts
Ok hear me out-
Why do I have a feeling that if Gortash and Durge were to talk about how his parents sold him to a literal devil when he was young, Durge's reaction would look like something like this:
Do you think if Durge and Gortash had more romantic moments one of them would be giving a bouquet to eachother?
But in Durge's case it wouldn't be flowers it would be arms that they thought looked pretty to give for their favorite person at the time
Gortash doesen't wanna kiss him because he's gonna have to take a shower after and we all know that takes to much time and Gorty hates wasting time
Think about it…
We have a sadistic killer, who loves hurting people, and an immortal sad man who thinks he deserves to be hurt (I mean…that wouldn’t be ooc for him, isn't it ?)
…This pairing is just so interesting…
This ship started to haunt me since I dreamed of it a few days ago: in my dream, my durge cheated on Gortash with Ketheric because she couldn’t remember him (they were even engaged I think ???). That’s an amazing plot for a fic…
Anyway, Gortash x Durge is a thing, obviously, but what about Ketheric x Durge ?
Ketheric is the only one durge can't kill, of course they want to play with him…
DU X Gortash Clothing Design Analysis
Okay okay so I was looking in depth at Gortash's clothing and I noticed a few things!! :33
Each of the tassels on his belt have a skull on surrounded by a circle, like the stone carving in the Temple of Bhaal:
His belt buckle thing is literally a Dragon spewing out flames with a Bane demon on the end with it's teeth, horns and tongue sticking out! (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
Dragons on his boots and the inside collar of his coat! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧
Finally, this coupley looking shit. Dragon and Bane symbols connected together via a gold chain with a connecting Dragon medallion??? ૮꒰ྀི⸝⸝> . <⸝⸝꒱ྀིა
But yeah just noticed these things and thought it was really cute!!! God, they are the most canon non canon couple ever >/////<< <33

Durge: *looks from Gortash to Gale*
Durge: Apparently my thing for ambitious men with dark hair and dark eyes survived my amnesia
Durge looking at an ambitious Chosen of another god with dark hair, dark eyes, and expressive hand gestures: I can't not fuck him
The first time Gale talks at length about magic to Durge, Durge gets hit with a strong deja vu of Gortash doing the same thing but about engineering/machines/etc, and while Durge's brain has a huge hole in it and can't put a face or a name to the man in the memory, he immediately knows he's still very much into men who can talk passionately for 2 hours straight about their fav topic. A must have quality.
I like the idea that a named Durge got his first name from Gortash once they grew closer. Gortash being the first to view Durge as an actual person, and not just a tool and extension of Bhaal, and give him a name to represent that distinction. And that name being the one Durge remembers, even when he has a huge hole in his brain.
And then he gets a last name from Gale post-marriage.
The idea of the two men that Durge love(d) each giving him a bit of identity that has nothing to do with his father is just very appealing to me.
Deadly Ambition (a Dark Urge x Enver Gortash AU)
U.S. Congressman Enver Gortash eagerly accepts the opportunity Governor Richard Bhaal’s presidential campaign as his vice presidential running-mate. In the process, he discovers the true mastermind behind the Bhaal campaign: Bhaal's daughter, Elegy, who is as ruthless as she is charming. Together, Enver and Elegy forge a partnership and plot their path to power. They will do anything it takes to win the election… but will their web of deals and deception fall apart when they find themselves relentlessly drawn to each other?
Chapter 5: National Conventions (Rating: Explicit; Word count: 6k)
While Astarion looked back at the TV, Elegy gained a faraway look in her eye. It was an expression that Enver recognized by now: she was piecing together a plan, most likely something that was wonderfully vicious. “Plotting something?” he murmured. She blinked and refocused on him. “Maybe. For whenever these damn conventions are over.” On the screen, the Stelmane and Ravengard families continued to smile and wave as confetti and balloons rained down on them.
