Ok so you said you were open for ideas for your au so here’s an idea. I feel like once Roman becomes evil he starts to get really possessive of Virgil. Like maybe he had a crush on him before and now that he’s possessed he wants to make Virgil his “queen” or something like that. He would kidnap virg and then try to “court” him and he starts using nick names like darling. Virgil wouldn’t except b/c the Roman right in front of him isn’t his Roman. I hope this makes sense. Sorry if it doesn’t.
