Not sure if I shared this one before. This is just a few snippets from near the beginning. But later, Gloria gets a little nibbly :)
I just really like lingering on the warmth and connection. Skin contact is really, really important for Dal.

Have Dal on the cusp of realizing he's in love :)

"this emotion, right here, sitting in his chest as bright as a star" - one of my favorite lines i've written abt them. This emotion. He doesn't know its name. Just that it's powerful, beautiful, & breathtaking.

Oh yes.
In Menzo, he kept a practiced calm or politeness around all. But being injured during exile has put him in near constant pain since, making anger/defensiveness easier to trigger.

He tends to be rude to or even threaten strangers.

I've written a decent amount!

My longest fic is this one, Twelve Hours, about Dal saving his love interest, Gloria, before he has even admitted to himself that he has feelings for her. He almost dies in the process.

Sleepy morning or before-bed sex, with Gloria laying on top of Dal while he moves underneath her, holding her close as she covers his face and neck in kisses. Slow, gentle, sweet.

They bathed together & spoke gently about the night prior to gauge interest in doing it again. Soft, and a little cautious. Gloria knows it's love, but doesn't want to scare Dal away, as he's not ready to declare it, yet.

Already answered, but I realized I could show a little snippet including Dal's (no older than 4-5) son, Zektyrr, post-BG3, possibly a few months or year after he's been saved from House Strighym of Menzoberranzan as a toddler :) He loves pancakes.

he were so whimsical and bright, wishes he could express himself so easily and frequently. Gloria, of course, assures him he's expressive in his own way.

Dalamus is still haunted by his time as a Lolthite, struggling to be as expressive as others. Gloria assures him that he shows plenty of love and care whether he realizes it or not.

Most painful was probably his spinal injury he received during his escape from the Underdark a month-ish prior to BG3. Adrenaline flooding his system allowed him to escape, but he didn't seek proper medical attention afterwards.

Oh, yes. In Lolthite-ruled Menzoberranzan, one is only as worthy as they are useful. Almost everything is safe to be considered transactional, & he feels, at the moment, he has nothing to "offer". No title, job, money, connections, + health problems.

I have no in-game timeline yet, but there has been time enough for Gloria to get injured in battle defending him, heal, and then Dal to almost die defending her, and heal.
