Summary
A potentially company-destroying cruise scandal she could handle. Navigating the mounting pressure of legacy media to make way for tech was a breeze.
But dealing with a four-year-old? Absolutely not. She hadn’t even dealt with her own daughters when they were that age.

Summary
Gerri was going to hate him.
That’s the first thought that runs through Roman’s head as his body hits the tarmac. Gerri already hates him. She’ll hate him even more now. He can practically hear her voice ringing through his head, momentarily masking the throbbing sensation in his forehead.
The second thought he has is that his body has just been hit by 2,930kg of Mercedes-Benz metal. That was going to leave a bruise.

It’s 2:13am when Gerri’s phone rings on the bedside table of her hotel room. She momentarily considers throwing it across the room. Technically she no longer works for Waystar Royco, even though she’s confident Roman wouldn’t have bothered with the paperwork. Her resignation letter is sitting in the drafts of her inbox, ready to go at 9 am tomorrow morning.
She was done. Out. Off the team.
The phone keeps ringing. A fourth ring. A fifth. A sixth. Until her hand shoots out from under the duvet and she instinctively answers it without looking at the caller ID.
Somebody better be fucking dying.

Summary
It’s a fight or flight response. Roman remembered reading about it once - an automatic response in the face of danger.
His lips moved and the words were out of his mouth before he even realised.
“Well you see, here’s the thing Dad - Gerri and I have been dating,” Roman announced, the words came out more confident than he thought they would. Perhaps all those years of being a cocky idiot were coming in clutch now.

Summary
The “Lady Macbeth, gettin’ your little fuckin’ screwdriver in” plot the s3 poster teased, starting at the end of s3.

“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.

Summary
Roman has to get out of New York, away from her.
He’ll “eat, pray, love” his way around the world. Well, perhaps without the praying part. Roman stopped believing in a God long ago.
He salutes his final whisky to Gerri, his version of saying goodbye, putting them - whatever they were - in a neat little box at the back of his mind. Perhaps some of her filing cabinet tendencies had rubbed off on him - or at least he could hope so.
But Roman doesn’t leave her back in New York. It turns out putting an ocean between them only makes it worse.

Yep, it's a RomanGerri Bewitched AU. Like, the sitcom from the '60s. Fizzy and (hopefully) funny with a light dusting of drama.
