TomShiv

TomShiv is the het ship between Siobhan Roy and Tom Wambsgans from the Succession fandom.

Season 1
In the beginning of the show, Tom and Shiv are dating and out birthday shopping for Logan, Shiv's father. Tom, nervous, wanting to make a good impression for Logan and impress him, is determined that he needs to get him the perfect gift, though Shiv warns him that Logan won't care regardless of what he buys, as he "doesn't like anything."

Following Logan's stroke later that day, he is brought to the nearest hospital for treatment, Shiv and the rest of the Roy siblings discuss and debate who would be best to fill in for Logan as he is the CEO of one of the biggest news conglomerates in the world. Tom offers himself to which Kendall, Shiv's older brother, immediately shuts down, telling Tom to go away, to which Shiv quickly jumps in to defend Tom.

Later in the hospital, Tom decides to propose to a distraught Shiv as a way to take her mind off of the events, to which she is naturally taken aback and bemused at, but unofficially accepts his proposal to which he joyfully picks her up and kisses her. Once Logan returns home from the hospital he is eventually visited by Shiv, who manages to eventually get into contact with him, announcing her and Tom's engagement to Logan and that she plans to permanently stay in New York as a result.

Fanon
Tom and Shiv is without a doubt one of the most iconic and messiest ships within the Succession fandom, largely due to how complex both characters are and how they're constantly evolving over time. Shiv is almost always closed off from her emotions due to how her and her siblings were raised by an emotionally neglectful father which only causes them to further fruitlessly seek validation from him. This frustrates Tom who is aware the relationship between him and his wife is fuelled by the foundation that Shiv finds comfort in him being beneath her, not needing to be paranoid that she'll ever wind up being betrayed by him because he's so dependent on her, something that inevitably comes back to haunt her.
