Aquapanda

"It was the first time Wriothesley would meet the Chief Justice in his official capacity as Administrator of Meropide. Technically, they'd met once before—at his trial, where said Chief Justice had sentenced him as a mass murderer. So that was a promising start. Given the choice, Wriothesley would have preferred dealing with literally anyone else. It was absurd that there was no intermediary bureaucrat handling Meropide affairs, that everything went straight to the highest judicial authority in Fontaine. Some mid-level functionary would have been far easier to manipulate—to study their weaknesses, learn what made them tick, and carefully position himself as an indispensable ally. But no, he had to charm the one man in Fontaine supposedly immune to charm."

This is slowburn years long exploration of paranoid traumatized manipulator Wriothesley learning to trust and then falling for Neuvillette, the journey from when he first becomes the Warden to the canon time.
