Des' Masterpost
Hey I'm Des <3 Old. Writer, artist, sometimes cosplayer.
I write a lot about githyanki, their lore, culture and language from their beginnings, to now. I focus a lot on their 5e and BG3 verses, whilst expanding it into my own verses and HCs.
I mostly centre my writing around Kith'rak Voss and Prince Orpheus, and their relationship with my Tav, Vanquish.
Fics
Tales of the Forgotten Prince, his Closest Blade and The Breaker of Chains series - fics following the relationships of Kith'rak Voss, Prince Orpheus and Vanquish from the beginnings of the githyanki, to the events of BG3 and beyond.
DOLL PARTS A 30k fic spanning 8 chapters set in my cyberpunk universe that follows a snapshot of the tumultuous winter, lives and relationships of Vanquish, Voss and Orpheus in a world the githyanki were forced to make home, wiith no way back to the Astral Sea. Pre-written. Updates weekly on Wednesday.
Vanquish's diary during BG3
Vanquish - deliberate and deep Vanquish's journal entries following significant and poignant moments of her journey in BG3 connected to Kith'rak Voss, Orpheus and Lae'zel.
My /reader fics
Orpheus/Reader - godless grace You're Prince Orpheus' saviour. And tonight he's going to thank you. Kith'rak Voss/Reader - class in session You're a new sarth under Kith'rak Voss. Fresh blood. And he's going to teach you some respect.
Interactive novels
I've written a long interactive novel, Prince, Blade, Breaker, where you can interview Kith'rak Voss, Prince Orpheus and their mla'ghir and bondmate, Vanquish, deep into the githyanki rebellion against Vlaakith CLVII.
It's around 30k words in total, with accompanying art by myself and my friend Una. And you can play and download it for free on itch.io here:
I've also written a short interactive novel where you can meet Prince Orpheus for the first time as three different githyanki.
Play here - who are you, to the Prince?
WIPs
I've also recently picked up another of my interactive novels where you can romance Kith'rak Voss. I have a few other ongoing projects, so this will be slower going than others and less of a priority, but I'll still be picking away at it.
