if someone is being nosy about what's on my phone they deserve to read about a magical twink graphically taking orc dick.

i told @goethial that if he drew rommath seeing umbric and thanofar dancing at the midsummer ball that i would write a companion piece. then i started writing and was like “what if i gave him siblings” “what if i wrote some political schenanigans in there” and five thousand words later, here we are! this was really fun to write

something of a theme is starting to develop with rommath (spoilers for a questline in 12.0.5)

after the march on quel’danas, when rommath grants the velves the umbral atrium as an embassy, he mentions how he tried many times to convince himself to burn umbric’s research materials and other personal affects that had come to be stored in the warehouse, and how every time he couldn’t bring himself to even go over there and do it.

now, during the omnium questline with rommath and umbric, we see rommath talk about the same thing with regards to his predecessor and mentor, belo’vir salonar (credit and thanks to portergauge on bsky for the screencaps!!)

we’re starting to see that rommath has had trouble handling loss and letting go. he couldn’t bring himself to do what was legally probably a necessity and destroy umbric’s things after he’d been banished, and he couldn’t bring himself to go into belo’vir’s vault to access the things that rommath now needed to fulfill his duties as grand magister. it makes me wonder, then, what else he hasn’t been able to let go of. does he have anything he’s kept (out of not being able to confront the loss) of dar’khan? of kael’thas? and what are those things?

another way this could also play out is that we see rommath forced to suddenly confront a loss (a past one or a new one) and he handles it very poorly, which ultimately leads to a dangerous and/or difficult situation for everyone and we have to help him face and overcome that pain (let’s hope umbric’s right there by our side helping too)

Umbric smiles and glances at Rommath

(urban fantasy | queer romance | slow burn | idiots in love)

London has a hidden problem.

And Detective Alex Pankhurst has just stumbled straight into it.

After a near-fatal encounter with something that absolutely should not exist, Alex is seconded to a covert Met unit handling supernatural incidents—and partnered with Tristan Locryn, the Met’s only sanctioned monster hunter.

Tristan is competent, controlled, and very clearly does not want a partner.

Alex is none of those things.

Unfortunately for both of them, something in London has already decided Alex is exactly who it wants.

And it’s not letting him go.

Expect:

* ancient druid who is softer than he looks

* chaotic detective flirting through near-death experiences

* mutual pining + terrible communication

* a curse that weaponises unrequited love (yes really)

* “this is a huge mistake” energy

* emotional damage (affectionate)
