i have so many thoughts on conclave that i seriously need to post, but first, where is all the love and where is the adaptation for robert harris’ imperium??? i finished reading conclave and found another robert harris book to read on my kindle app, not thinking much of it but Imperium is such a good book!!!! I’m half way through it and I’m so invested in the storyline. Tiro, Cicero’s enslaved speechwriter, is such a fascinating character. He fears for his life at any given moment, and yet he still keeps such a calm and collected head even as the extremely powerful and petty men around him lose their collective shits. Not only is Tiro one of the most beautifully written characters I’ve ever read (Harris really mastered the art of direct and indirect characterization, both from what we read through Tiro’s mind, what we read of Tiro’s perception of Cicero, and what Tiro thinks of other characters like Pompey and Julius Caesar), his relationship to Cicero is so lovely. He makes me root for Cicero, even when I genuinely cannot believe how horrible and full of himself Cicero is. Like Cicero lives up to the ideals of the time, and he’s much better than his contemporaries, but he’s still a cunning, conniving politician willing to sacrifice his own values for the sake of power.

also someone needs to write a historical au!conclave fanfiction. i have no idea how that would even work, but it would be a vision

Could I request dating headcanons for Tiro with gn s/o?

Notes: Absolutely you can!! I'm splitting it into two sections because he may act slightly different depending on what path is being taken :p I tried to keep the above cut HCs as SFW as I could!

Warnings: Toxic behaviour/relationship under the cut. Mentions of death, both animal and humanoid (both above and below cut, mainly vague). General Dark Urge stuff, really. Feel free to skip over it, if you so wish!

Redemption Tiro

Tiro tries to be tender - he knows that his brutish impulses are not typically what people go for or want in a partner, and he tries his best to curb it as much as he is able to. He tries to keep his touches subtle, gentle - everything he was not, before this. Before he wanted to try.

He brings you little gifts - often of the more morbid kind - but he tries to make some more light-hearted ones too. He is much like a cat in what he brings to you - small kills, usually. A frog, a squirrel, an eagle. He knows that you're not always so keen for him to kill anything larger, so he keeps his remaining urges under wraps as best as he can.

He asks a lot of questions; what people like, what couples normally do - all of it, he wants to know, he wants to learn. He wants to be somewhat normal, to be able to do things with you that others do. He thinks about that kind of thing a lot, and tries to hold aspects of himself back, to keep you safe and appease to you.

He lets you take the lead most of the time, dating or courting is very new to him - he hardly remembers anything even close to it. But despite this, he enjoys himself. He's vulnerable - almost painfully so - but it's you, so it's... Bearable. Just about.

Non-redemption Tiro

Now this Tiro is a very different kettle of fish altogether. He's reserved at first, letting you show him your affections, giving you the upper hand at first - he wants you to feel as if you are taking the lead with the relationship, to have that security. But he knows what he wants, and he knows just how to manipulate you into place.

In front of others, he's quiet, reserved - he lets you initiate everything, and he happily takes what you give him, no questions asked. If anyone were to be asked about yours and Tiro's relationship, they'd most likely think that the big, quiet brute was subdued by you, but this is unfortunately far from the truth.

Behind closed doors, Tiro is domineering, taking the lead whenever he is able to. He is obssessive, and he has to know of every little thing that you do when you are not in his sight.

He will describe - in vivid detail - what he will do to your corpse once you've died. From playing with it and your innards, to much more heinous activities, he spares no small part of information; he wants you to know every little thought, every fantasy that he has had.

As the relationship evolves, in the so called comfort of your home/tent, Tiro starts unmasking more and more - not that there's much left underneath that mask anymore - and doesn't hide his violent tendencies or desires from you. Sometimes he even likes to toy with the idea he'll carry some of them out on you, rather than some stranger or animal.
