I really feel like this one-off thought Shadowheart had about Evie, in a fic that's not about them, is more intense than entire fics I've written where they're dating.
Characters I've shipped Evie with, ranked by how likely it is that they would have kids together:
(fwiw I don't think Evie would prioritize having children and would even be sort of nervous about becoming a parent)
- Wyll - almost certainly. He'd be super psyched, would tell her it was important to him, and would demonstrate often how good he is with children. Also if this is my arranged marriage au they would probably go into it expecting to have a child.
- Halsin - also enthusiastic but more likely to let Evie come around to it on her own than outright asking her. When they meet, Evie would still have like 150+ possible years still left to her lifespan so neither of them would rush. But I think one day she'd just see him playing with one of the Reithwin orphans and be like "Oh fuck..."
- Gale - 80-90% chance they would just enjoy their magical dual income no kids lifestyle but that leaves a 10-20% chance that they would do it. Neither of them have any capacity for baby talk and talk to their infant like they're an adult.
- Shadowheart - I'm still kind of figuring out what kind of post-game life Evie and Shadowheart would both be happy with. I can maaaaaaaaaybe see them deciding that one of them should get pregnant but certainly not right away.
- Astarion - I cannot imagine a scenario in which they would have a kid on purpose.

Astarion/Shadowheart/Tav ~8.4k words explicit
Evie's smile flattened a bit, her eyes peering up at him skeptically. Happy to humor him but decidedly onto him too. “Thankfully, I’ve had my needs met this evening.” Astarion let his thumb drag over her quick pulse. Evie could look at him however he wanted but she couldn't hide that. His hand traveled lower over her collar and her inhale lifted more of her chest into his palm. “Though…I wonder if anyone has considered your needs.” Her pulse raced deliciously beneath his touch. He could almost feel the blood pouring over his tongue. “If you like, we could go somewhere away from camp and get you exactly what you need.” “Oh - tonight?” Evie’s brows lifted. “I…have plans with Shadowheart tonight.”

“I’m up.” Shadowheart opened the tent flap and let Evie enter. “Is this a wine conversation?”
“Definitely.” ---- Evie can always tell Shadowheart anything.

I wanted to share this because I don't actually know if this fic has any legs and it's currently just quietly chilling in my wip folder. But I think this part is fun. My personal headcannon is that Evie and Shadowheart would always either A) be in a serious relationship or B) be best friends who have had feelings for each other or hooked up in the past but don't plan on being together. This would be one of the latter.
This is from a modern AU where Gale has met Evie sort of randomly, so he doesn't know her super well, and is looking through her internet presence.
It was easy to find Evie’s Instagram profile, though Gale had to quickly make his own to view it all. Most of the posts were perfectly lit photos of Evie doing things like peering over a pair of sunglasses at the beach or twirling pasta around a fork. Gale understood that this feed was heavily curated but after knowing her in real life he was starting to think Evie’s hair did genuinely look like that all the time. He noticed that at least a quarter of the photos were of Evie and the same dark haired woman in various affectionate poses. Wearing short party dresses with their cheeks pressed together in a nightclub, biting into macarons with the Eiffel Tower in the background, bundled in thick winter jackets on a snowy mountain. The tagged account (@shadow_jen) was private, leaving behind no clues except for a pouting mirror selfie for her profile picture.
I think Gale would absolutely like a really old photo by accident and be surprised when Evie is like, "Oh, I love that picture!" because he doesn't realize she's been immediately notified.
