Hey, please don't repost other people's art without credit. It's not cool.
This is an artwork that I commissioned from a very talented artist to go with a fanfic I'm writing. You shouldn't repost other people's art without crediting them - especially when it's a personal commission.
You can support the actual artist of this stunning artwork here.
One knee, then the other. Until he’s genuflecting in front of her. No. Not genuflecting. He’s practically prostrating. But he’ll put his cheek flush against the wood if that’s what she wants.
The “Lady Macbeth, gettin’ your little fuckin’ screwdriver in” plot the s3 poster teased, starting with 'All the Bells Say'.

“I can get you there,” she promises and there’s a loaded meaning to her words that Roman instantly understands. It's the conversation they’ve never properly had, only ever beating around the bush. He’s been reluctant to call himself Brutus until now, to contemplate the idea of willingly pushing out his father. Part of him always imagined Kendall would do that - after all, he had already tried once.
But him and Gerri? Though wasn’t that what ‘Rockstar and the Molewoman’ had been all about? That conversation feels like a world away from this. No. This is about more than keeping him as COO. There’s something in the way Gerri’s looking at him that tells Roman this is so, so much more than that.
This is a plot to usurp his ageing father from the throne. A plot to takeover Waystar Royco - together.
It’s so insane to me that everyone tries to justify roman being in love with Gerri with “mummy issues” or some other physco-sexual thing that completely dismisses Gerri as a person in favour of seeing her as an outlet for Roman’s sexual fantasies. Like, have we even been watching the same show?
Roman has been on Gerri’s side from season 1 episode 2- this guy saw her on screen in season 4 and had to immediately sit down, this man has been following her around every single season with no agenda other then to talk to her, to listen to her opinion on things!! My man literally trips over himself trying to get her to laugh!!! she’s the quasi-love of his life!! His final scene was him ordering her favourite drink!! Neither the actors or writers have ever said anything like “she likes him because of the power it gives her” or, “he likes her cause he wants a mummy”, you could say a million things about tomshiv, tomgreg or kenstewy- (hell, I don’t see anyone putting a magnifying glass over Marcia’s love and devotion for Logan) but with Roman and Gerri, it seriously just boils down to, they like eachother. Why do you have to justify it? Because she’s an older woman? As if Toms hair isn’t already grey but nooo, millions of people are still shipping tomgreg and tomshiv.
Anyway, Gerri Kellman is fucking funny and intelligent and hot and Roman Roy loves her and not enough people talk about it.
