#rosleepceit

I’ve been posting mostly fanart since 2024 started, so here’s my first set of headcannons for 2024.

Content Warnings: Food/Drink mention (specifically coffee and tea). Let me know if I missed anything in the comments and I’ll update this.

Ship: Rosleepceit/Rodesleep (Roman x Remy x Janus)

starts with virgil/janus and roman/remy and then janus gets kidnapped by r&r to get at virgil and janus end up having a whole complicated enemies to lovers thing with r&r while waiting for virgil to save them

and virgil shows up and there's a dramatic rescue and remy somehow gets swept up in it and comes back with virgil and janus

virgil and remy are just like. two cats slowly getting used to each other.

roman is unsure if he has to save remy or not but he shows up just in case and well remy is perfectly fine except now remy is into virgil

for mine and @lostcephalopods mafiau

Summary: The journey of Roman learning to fight including Summer growing an interest in fashion and his husbands trying not to let him fight.

I have reread some of our posts and may have shifted how Summer gets his name, oops, but it fit the story and his interests

/\/\

As much as Roman dreamt of being the hero and saving someone, this hadn't been something he'd taken the time to learn. The most he had ever needed to know about fighting was how to escape Remus when his twin got into a wrestling mood.

Then he'd wanted to learn when Remy finally shared some of the things that were happening around his brother's marriage. It seemed sensible, and a way that his boyfriends might actually tell him more information over what was going on. Besides, if he could convince Janus to teach him how to fight there must be plenty of touching involved.

My gift for @lostcephalopods ! I saw the post about rosleepceit date nights in one of your aus, it was so cute i chose to draw it! Im super late QwQ but i hope the wait was worth it!

"How dare you!"

Remy peeked his head around the kitchen door, before walking into the room properly and placing his hands on his hips. He then grinned at his boyfriends, looking back and forth between them.

"What's going on? I hear tea."

Janus huffed. "There is no 'tea'," he said, making quotation marks with his fingers as he spoke. "Nothing happened. There is no drama."

"No drama!" Roman exclaimed. "You fiend, you stole my Crofters!"

"I did not steal anything! This is my home, too, and my kitchen. All of the food here is mine as well as yours. Therefore, I did not steal anything."

"Oh, you are such a lawyer."

"Aww, thank you."

"I did not mean it like a compliment, fiend!"

"You already used that nickname."

"Ooh, tea!" Remy grinned. "Fun. But come on, babes. Is jam really worth fighting over?"

Roman gasped, placing his hand over his heart in an overly exaggerated manner.

"Of course!"

Janus rolled his eyes, but his expression was unmistakably fond. The corners of his lips twitched upwards, and he took a step towards Roman, grabbing the sides of his jacket and tugging him closer to him.

This immediately changed the atmosphere from mildly annoyed to flirtatious.

"I'm sorry I stole your Crofters," Janus said in a voice that was simultaneously apologetic and flirty at once. "How can I make it up to you?"

Roman's face immediately began to redden significantly, and he opened and closed his mouth a few times.

Then, he huffed and looked away, though he made no attempt to get away from Janus.

"You cannot flirt with me everytime you want me to forgive you," Roman said.

"But it always works so well."

"Someday it shall stop working!"

"Will it, though?" Remy added with a matching grin.

He rested his chin on Roman's shoulder.

"I would only ever stop if you asked me to, my dear," Janus said. "But I doubt it shall ever stop working. Would you like a kiss?"

Roman continued to pout. "I am still mad at you."

"I'll take the kiss if you don't want it," Remy said.

There was a beat.

You had to keep your wits about you in the outer reaches of the galaxy. Most of the settlements were poorly governed and rarely enforced, which led to the rule of strength applying almost everywhere that was more than a few hops away from the Centre. 

Roman was generally bad at caution, unfortunately for him. He took wild risks and hoped they paid off, and so far they always had. It had paid off when he’d first left his little isolated homestead to travel. It had paid off when he’d started working at Remy’s bar. It had paid off when sweet, snarky Remy had confessed he returned his feelings and had kissed him under the stars. It had paid off when he’d interrupted whatever was going down between Remy and the mysterious D.C., because it had luckily turned out the man wasn’t extorting Remy for money but was in fact checking up on him on a pass through the area. 

It had paid off when he’d begged to go along with D.C. on his ship with Remy’s full blessing and dire threats, and it had paid off when they’d had the most wonderful, wild adventures, with what was statistically improbably low amounts of consequences. 

It had paid off when they’d come back to Remy’s to restock and refuel, and when Roman had boldly declared his intention to take on the entire galaxy. Remy had been surprised but supportive, and D.C. had just laughed. Some look had passed between the two old friends but Roman didn’t think it mattered much when it was followed by such a soft, sweet one cast his way by his love. 

But this final risk was a problem. 

He had only gone and fallen for the captain too, hadn’t he? 

“Is there a reason you’re blushing like that?” Remy asked, startling him from his thoughts as he watched D.C. teaching their little new recruit to use a blade. “It’s the same blush I recognise from when you look at me.” 

“I was just thinking,” Roman sighed, unfolding his arms so he could throw an arm over Remy’s shoulders. “I’ve never once thought about the risks I’ve taken before. But suddenly there’s so much I could lose.”

“Whatever risk it is, I think you can handle it Ro,” Remy told him, pecking him on the cheek and disappearing off.

Roman would think about that conversation later on, when he was trying his hardest to understand why D.C. would be working for the Centre. He couldn’t, he wouldn’t do that! He knew the struggles they had, the things people went through because of the negligence of the law! How could he be part of that?!

“I trusted you! Remy trusted you!”

“Remy knew all along, Roman, and he didn’t take it personally. It’s just life!”

Roman flung himself away, trying to reach the button. It was so close, all he had to do was reach it… But D.C. got there first, stalking past as he crawled along and flicking the switch down. The craft shuddered and Roman dropped his forehead on the floor in defeat. 

Something slid under his chin and tilted his face back up, D.C. and his infernal analogue sword. He crouched next to Roman and touched his cheek gently, looking far more sorrowful than Roman thought he deserved to. “I told you not to fall in love with me,” the traitor said. “I thought you might not, not with Remy at home waiting for u- for you.”

“You break his heart every time you leave, and you thought I wouldn’t figure it out?” Roman spat, trying to struggle up to his feet but stopping on his knees and trying not to sway too much. “He loved you.”

“Yes that was his mistake,” D.C. agreed quietly, barely audible over the sound of stalling engines and groaning metal. “But I thought you might be smart enough to avoid the same.”

“Don’t talk as though you don’t feel anything for him! For us. I know you, captain, I know you so damn well, and you’re just as full of love as either of us fools are!” Roman could feel the risk tumbling towards failure, preparing for the first time for it not to pay off. 

But then, after another moment of utter stillness gazing at him, D.C. suddenly dropped the weapon and turned, punching the console again and turning the switch. The pulley stopped and reversed, and the groaning turned to a hum of activity as the trai- the capt- as D.C. leaned down and helped Roman up to his feet again. Their eyes met and Roman wondered if he was the luckiest man in the entire world, or if this feeling meant the coin had yet to fall to make the final decision. Whatever it was he would take it, as D.C. murmured apologies and pleas for leniency, and the craft finally got away. 

Roman held him tight. Tomorrow they’d face those thrice-cursed consequences. Right now he could afford to celebrate the victory for what it was. 

they're definitely Drama Gays!!

Roman and Deceit are Theatre and Remy and Deceit are Gossip and Roman and Remy are Soap Operas

Roman was the first one to recite a love poem, then Dee got in on it because Aesthetic, and Remy was like "they're too pure?" and started reciting stuff just to see his boyfriends get flustered

Well now there’s a home that once was a hotel and is now called a mansion for 5 business owners, a hundred or so androids and whomever they’re helping get backon their feet from their employees/ local homeless.

Janus running the businesses vs Roman performing and writing stories constantly, who will overwork themselves first, and how will Remy get them both to take a break?

They took  over and basically reformed a mafia for Chicago, next stop dragging reform and workers rights to the exploitative companies and the billionaires who run them. The androids get good at convincing workers to organise when a few try working outside of the companies our crew run.

Marriages currently stand at Remus& Janus, Janus&Virgil, Janus&Roman, Janus&Remy, Virgil&Remus, Virgil&Remy, and Remy&Roman. The government decided to look away from it instead of trying to force them to clear up the multiple marriages. There was just too much paperwork to sort out otherwise.

If/ When they get press attention that mentions the marriage mix-ups there’s tons of speculation over who’s dating who, Remus/Virgil is pretty certain but no press outlet wants to include polyamory without something cemented so whichever you read it could be Roman/Remy or Roman/ Janus that gets reported.

The Agency Remy works for is very frustrated to realise Remy and the husband crew are now antagonising and basically presenting as an alternative to the expoitation of other companies. Maybe they had covert ops trying to get those companies done for workers rights incidents or tax evasion or something.
