I’ve been obsessed with the animatic, art, and fanfiction for the sander sides au of crown and thorns (please check it out!) I’ve never published fanfiction on tumblr, I have some on fanfiction.net but I haven’t written it in a while. I really hope you guys like it! I’ve seen a lot of fanfiction post rose roman so I wanted to try one before! @the-pastel-peach I really hope you like my take, I don’t know if this is how you imagined this going but I hope you still enjoy it.
“-I never said I’d get you a new one.” A voice hissed out in a sickeningly sweet tone, a sound that could rival that of nails scratching down the surface of a blackboard. Roman let out a small scream as the thorn pierced into his scalp, firmly attaching themselves as he felt the dark energy begin to fill his mind. He fell to his knees and whimpered, clutching at the crown as he rocked back and forth. What had he done? Oh god now everyone was in dan-
“Roman? Roman are you alright? I heard a scream?” The familiar voice yelled from outside his door, and the knight looked over with silent horror. Virgil. “Roman? Roman please answer or I’m coming in?” He opened his mouth to respond but felt another thorn pierce through his skin, causing another scream to escape from his lips.
The door crashed down as Virgil ran in, and his eyes widened at the sight. The yellow eyes man laughed in a broken voice, fading away before both men’s eyes. Then left Roman, his form shaking on the ground.
“Roman!” Virgil yelled, rushing to his side as he held up his head. He reached for the nearest rose but Roman whined in protest.
“Don’t Touch it…it’ll hurt you to..”
“What’s happening to you?” Virgil asked as the panic began to rise in his tone, and his eyes looked over to see the black veins that began to spread out where thorn met skin. Roman let out a half choked sob at the feeling, causing Virgil to pull his weak form into his lap. “Roman who was that man? What’s happening to you-“
“I’m sorry.” He sobbed softly, looking up at the messenger with tear brimmed eyes. “I’m sorry I didn’t know this would happen, I just wanted to be a prince…I just wanted to help people..”
“Roman I don’t understand, help me to understand so I can help you.” The knight shook his head.
“You can’t…Virgil I’m so scared I don’t want to hurt you, or Thomas or Patton or Logan.”
“Why would you? Roman what’s happening?”
“I can feel it slipping…” he sobbed, clinging tightly to the smaller mans form. Virgil just held him closer, brushing a strand of hair from his face.
“Don’t worry, I’ll get Logan and we can help you and it’ll be fine-“
“No! No it won’t…I don’t want to hurt you Virgil-“ he let out a small yell, the roses growing darker by every second. His hold grew weaker and Virgil’s heart rate quickened at the sight. “I don’t, I don’t…Virgil what’s happening to me? I’m scared..please make it-“ he let out another broken sob, and it seemed to Virgil that the black veins grew longer and things at each passing moment.
And then he stopped, he went silent and his form grew limp. Like someone had snapped their fingers and it was all gone. Virgil watched him in silently, staying still.
“…Roman? Roman are you alright? Roman-“
He was interrupted by the feeling of a cold hand grabbing his wrist, using him as a weight to pull itself up. Virgil looked up with wide eyes, silent tears falling down his cheek as he watched. Roman stood up straight and faced away, adjusting the crown on his head. He reached up and pulled at the red sash and let it drop to the ground. The man looked over and stared at Virgil, his eyes dark and cold. He tilted his head a bit and smirked, his voice coming out in a tone that chilled Virgil to the bone.
“Aren’t you going to bow for your king?”
YES YES YES YES YES THIS ARE YOU FUCKING SEEING THIS SHIT?
