I was the one who submitted the ask about romeyās perv folder ā¢ and as your number one fan I must humbly askā¦.
when are you gonna let us read a full roman fic? Ik you talked about actually writing the series and stuff and iām dying to find out how they met and him being a pervy boss before then. how did he find out reader was a freak like him š©
No rush ofc,I love this couple sm and your writing is so good and itās such a comfort to me!
i never knew anyone would actually want a full series, but iām totally down for a whole series thing! tbh idk when iāll get around to it or if itās even in the best interests of the general vibe of this account to do a big series because of my whack schedule. but i can give my own little opinions on how they met and stuff, and would be happy to do rambles or a line of works based on what people may wanna know!
i hc them as having met at shivās wedding as a whole roman being shivās āman of honorā and reader being tomās ābest womanā. i can totally see small-town (maybe southern, maybe just āpoorā in comparison to rome) reader being old pals with midwestern social climber tom through some fucked up twist of fate.
through another fucked up twist of fate, i see caroline loving her. the scene where she tells roman he should marry tabitha would probs become caroline telling roman that reader is a āgood oneā, he should do something about it, make something happen, cave into the āmaid of honor and best manā trope. which roman would then correct as, āMan of honor and best woman, Mom.ā reader tries to brush it off by reminding caroline that heās with tabitha (without knowing itās more of an open, friends-pretending-to-fuck thing) ā very girlās girl.
roman kinda just likes her immediately, the vibes match. i imagine a scene on a balcony, reader getting fresh air, not used to a huge destination wedding at a huge fucking archaic castle, filled to the brim with the fussiest snakes in the viperās nest. roman coming out, asking if she wants to smoke, āUh, no thanks but, go ahead?ā and he does, āYou sure? Well, sure you donāt mind and also. Like, no smoking? Virgin lungs or something?ā and they talk and laugh, and when they go back in is when he finds out about the shuttle accident and sorta doesnāt give a fuck? poor gerri, the accident-prone roy is in puppy love with the groomswoman and sheās left to clean up his messes.
roman dances with reader and kinda tries to ignore any and everything. iād imagine they move both shockingly fast and slow, like reader stays with tom per his request for a couple weeks because she doesnāt have a place in new york, but when the tomshiv tension gets too high, roman kinda relocates her to an en-suite spare room in his penthouse a door down from him. hires people to fix everything up for and with her, starts a list in the kitchen of shared groceries, movie nights at least twice a week.
āfastā as in when reader gets hired at waystar as the familyās (cough cough, romanās) in-house attorney (because if roman needs anything, he needs a personal attorney that isnāt just a for-hire, white-collar shark, but someone in close contact with the family overall, and thatās readerās opt-in), sheās accidentally opted in to sharing an office with roman, who is generally thrilled that his dad has given him a new play toy. his dad is more of the belief that reader is fresh meat in a skirt, in a, āRomulus, make sure the girl doesnāt get eaten alive,ā way. āfastā as in roman takes her out for dinner at ātheir placeā, an italian restaurant with the best pasta in new york, he says. āfastā as in, at that same place for the first time (what he calls their āfirst dateā despite reader being entirely unaware it was ever a date), they both ran into one of his dadās old ābuddiesā who she knows better than to ask much about, and roman pulled a āprankā by saying the two of them were engaged ā and she went along with it, though unconvincingly.
and āslowā as in thereās never really a discussion of what they are, itās just roman saying, āI never fuck anyone else ever again and you never fuck anyone else ever again. Thatās the deal, the fuckināā¦thing we got goinā on here.ā he jokes about eloping but is also weird with stuff, āgirlfriendā is such a weird word, his weird internalized homophobia wonāt allow the use of the word āpartnerā without a visible cringe, so. itās kinda nothing, unofficially engaged, like āpromised to each otherā, an almost arranged marriage except voluntary, without a dowry.
so, thereās a ramble of little factoids iāve imagined about roman and little miss priss reader, just in case i never get around to it ā thatās all the intro important stuff iām pretty set on!
